Those are all basically the same thing and qualified by the main point: Like elsewhere in the world, there are crappy people in quantities relative to the population size, given disproportionate exposure by the unflattering confirmation bias of media.

I dunno what that other guy is smoking, I appreciated the level-headed perspective your explanation offered.

The “joke” is that it’s an issue that people feel compelled to comment on, but the sleeping person can’t. Predictably, most people are blowing straight past this and commenting their opinions, but most of the other replies are joking or whimsical. Yours is straightforward no-nonsense. If I had to guess, I’d say that’s why you’re being singled out.

Unfortunately I’m not young enough to pull this off anymore, but back in my early 20’s I would engage in some light identity theft for the purposes of free luxury golfing. I have two rich uncles who are both avid golfers and both members of a ridiculously expensive country club in the city where we live. They also both have sons, and the club benefits extend to all minor children. So, I’d pretend to be my 17yo cousin and with my other cousin (who was only lying about his age, not who he was), we’d regularly hit the links. For non-members, the typical price for a round of golf was like $200

Never start a machined bolt/nut with your electric drill. Start it by hand first.

I’m not usually this petty, but… haha, get fucked

Wow, I’m just learning about this guy, but based on what I’ve read so far (this post and others), I couldn’t be happier.

Well they were all tubing down the river. Hard to be packing heat in your swim trunks and rented inner tube.

Is fondant a cake?

There’s nothing immature about boobs, my friend. Quite the opposite in fact.

Boob just because it shows how boobs look from the three main perspectives: top, straight on, and profile.

Someone remembers their Encyclopedia Brown!

I love this idea. Open primaries are how it should be. Let the blue team do something dynamic and engaging while depriving the orange guy of his beloved spotlight AND showing the population it is least somewhat self aware.

He lived with his parents

Hell yeah now Linux and I both will panic in style

Woosh

Put your dry erase markers in the holder basket thing CAP DOWN. jfc, the amount ruined, dried out markers could probably fill a landfill

I feel like you’re taking this all a bit too seriously. Here’s a suggestion: if you don’t think the contests are fun or worthwhile, don’t submit anything and don’t look at the winners and especially don’t print any of the submitted designs.

At first I was with you.

1. You’re mad that the contest was moderated?
2. Unsafe bath toys? That sounds bad. Your reason? Rubber bands and small parts? Okay well I don’t think that’s a problem if your kid is over the age of 3 or so. If less than 3, no reasonable parent would be leaving them unsupervised in the bath anyway.
3. PLA is great for quick proof of concept and handles exposure to water just fine in lots of cases. User discretion isn’t an unreasonable ask. The 3D printing community is an intelligent group, typically. If you love the print but your PLA version failed after a while, print it using something else?
4. Voters voted on the submissions they liked the most. Get over it.
5. Voters voted on the submissions they liked the most. Get over it.
6. Honestly I stopped reading. Something about a paid part integration that you got mad about because it’s heavily discounted and you can submit photos even if you don’t have one or something?

Anyway. I’ve been finished on the toilet for a while now. Gonna go sit on the porch and drink coffee and listen to the birds and never think about the terrible, terrible injustices with Prusa’s contests again.

p.s. I think the contests are awesome and I love how Prusa engages the community and gets people thinking about new ideas.

Similar structure, yes, but this is the important part:

Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established

So, just like the Louvre museum in Paris and the Luxor casino in Las Vegas have similar structures, pointing this out doesn’t really contribute much to the discussion.

For all I know, OpenAI’s purpose is to create Skynet and kill all humans. But Proton’s is:

Our legally binding purpose is to further the advancement of privacy, freedom, and democracy around the world.
