Me: What are 3d printed drugs?

FTA

He swapped out a kilogram of cocaine from evidence with a 3D-printed version, according to court documents, per the Associated Press. He sprinkled the 3D-printed brick with real cocaine so that it appeared to be real,

Oh, he printed a prop.

Why would you want to fix it if he constantly pushes your boundaries purposely?

I'm not OP, but I have similar issues. I ask myself this CONSTANTLY. There's a part of me that is a hole that a proper, good father could fill. Obviously, I don't have that and he never will, but I still crave it. Imagine being hungry and there's the best food on the other side of the window and you can never have any. You're still hungry and there's a part of you that is pressing against that window, even though another part of you knows you can't get into the store.

One of the pivotal moments for me was on my wedding day. I didn’t receive any message from him—not even a simple acknowledgment. I had hoped to hear from him, and his silence cut deeply, making me realize how distant we had become.

One year, my father said he didn't think he could visit. I have his only grandkids. He's retired and rich. He has connections to get cheap travel. He takes multiple out-of-country trips a year (that I've never been on). There is literally no reasonable explanation why he can't visit in a year and plenty of typical reasons for him to do so. I haven't talked to him in more than 5 years.

My anger/sadness dulls with time, but never goes away. I constantly have to remind myself that the father I want doesn't exist and never did. It has gotten easier with time, but it's still a scar. Just like a real scar, it gets angry from time to time, but it's not as bad as when I first got it.

It's taught me a lot of lessons. It taught me not to be like him. My mom once asked my wife "where did he learn to play with the kids like that? His father never did that." When my wife told me that, I couldn't explain it, either. I just treat my kids like I wanted to be treated when I was a kid.

I've gone to therapy and it helps. Maybe I should go back. As my kids grow, I'm learning new ways in which he failed me and our family. I never knew what I was missing, but now that I have to provide that for my kids, I see what he did wrong. Every year it's something new. I imagine it'll be that way until I die.

So, I'm sorry, but I don't think it ever disappears (as you can tell by the energy I'm typing with). I think it fades. Take from it the lessons that you can. Don't let the pain be fruitless. Acknowledge it, use it as guidance, "I know what not to do."

I've seen asteroid reprocessors and it seems soooo simple compared to what I'm doing. It almost feels like cheating.

Oh yeah since it's multiplicative, that means it's exponential. Ugh. .

I appreciate the link, but that doesn't offer much understanding. I read that page and used it to come up with my scenario. I have to do an example to understand things.

Thinking about it, yes, Fulgora is great for this. I was trying to do quality on Nauvis and it was so resource intense.

 

I started a second space age play thru. I felt it was a little fast so I upped research 5x. I also decided to embrace quality, as I barely touched it in play thru #1.

It's expensive. Let's just assume 10% quality. If you have 10% to get uncommon, then you have to make 10 to get 1. If you recycle the other 9, then you get 25% back and 10% of that can be quality. So you get roughly 2 normal back and 0.2 uncommon.

If you make 50, you get 5 on first run. On recycle, you get 1 uncommon and 10 normal back. So you can count those as -10 on the initial cost. Net result is 6 uncommon cost 40 normal.

Am I doing that math right?

Is the kid version pulling on a pony tail or pushing up a stick?

 

And it's been a year since this video! So that makes 2 years on the gaskets. I wonder how they're doing.

Series? More macross/robotech that makes sense. Macross Plus is the best for many reasons, but mostly because of the coherent plot. Give me awesome mecha, itano circus missile flights, and a plot that's not fucking stupid. (I can't stand robotech's plot, and macross is barely tolerable.)

Game? Master of Magic 2 that doesn't suck. I've seen 2 or 3 spiritual successors but they've failed in execution. Keep it simple. Update the original and add a touch of something. Don't reinvent it.

Movie? District 9 sequel. I don't know how they'd do it but the movie was so good I want more.

Yes. More Eternal Darkness. Loved the replay ability. ULYOTTH CHTURGAH PARGON

How is this uplifting?!

 

Mostly bug fixes.

 

Brick layering is shifting layers just slightly so that they interlock with the adjacent row, like bricks side view on a wall. See the video for more clear explanation.

Cnc kitchen did a video on it as well https://youtu.be/5hGm6cubFVs

 

I've changed medicine recently and I noticed that some of my desires have changed. I don't crave sugar as much. Also, my NSFW preferences changed... significantly.

 

I made some ginger bug fermented pineapple juice into soda. It was my first ceiling painter! No other juice has foamed this much. The pressure was roughly the same, but the foam! So much!
