The 90’s mentality of “Everyone on an Internet is a predator out to rob you or worse” left a mark on me-
I always use a fake name and innocuous, random profile pic if possible.

These daus you’re still screwed if someone’s that determined, but at least screw the corporations like this.

The mockingbirds are so lucky the hummingbirds don’t care, because they are shimmery little warrior badasses.

I started using two so I could more easily remote game with my sibling.

The second one would have their screen stream up, so it was like we were playing split screen co-op back in the day. :)

Now, I do wonder if one could use printing and a pantograph to somehow create small, but marginally viable records.

Sounds like a stupid challenge someone would make a YouTube challenge from, really

I mean, just play Palworld, Princess Maker 2 and Hatoful Boyfriend and you basically got the desired experience.

I mean, I assume.
I think I’m too ace for this.

I am talking about though is SLA printing though- resin printing, but without the resin, basically.
Which is why I think its more feasible than just extrusion printing on principle. The layers are incredibly thin, with no extrusion involved, and no exposure to air until well after the layers are formed.

Interesting, I was under the impression that clay was inert when ingested.

The transportation and dust would be lessened from the printing process if it were done by the individual, but if what you say is true, then the whole idea is worthless unless there’s an alternative material available.

Well, in this hypothetical I’m proposing, there is no superheating involved- just printing, and being set to dry.

Ceramics get completely rigid, but relatively fragile in this state, which would be sufficient for a single use material, but if they’re soaked for long enough, would dissolve.

The term is “Bone Dry” and specifically how to reclaim bone dry clay- that’d probably give you an idea on how it breaks down/dissolves.

there would be no straightforward way to get it back into print media unless there were recycling centers, but if one cleaned the food matter off well, in theory it could be standard clay people could use.

Imagine collecting food cup clay and making it into bricks for public projects.

I live dangerously- I make yogurt in old jam jars!
…Though you only need to go to 180° and don’t need pressurization for it.

But I absolutely echo you with that, the fact that you can’t use most glass for this is insane.

And I only use the Baba Maman jars, they’re the only ones resilient enough.

Go to a grocery store, bring your metal containers to the grocery, get them autoclaved while shopping, and get em filled up with your rice/cereals/juice/etc.

Edit: The below is a bad idea unless new materials are found, see comment thread.

Also, SLA Printing for ceramics is already possible, just expensive for now. Once we figure out how to do that sustainability and in a foodsafe manner, we could just print our single-use cups and dishes from a slurry.

Yeah, finding the gunk from a bone dry ceramic cup left in random places outside would suck, but nature would be able to reclaim it as easy as any random dirt clod. (Well, not as quick in the short term, but when it comes to materials)

One could potentially even just rinse out the clay, stick it in some water, and with some elbow grease and effort, process it into actual, useable ceramics. Depending on the formulation required for the SLA process, of course.

Oh, I meant IRL.
The worst was when I got treated like I was stupid for not just assuming that someone with atypical facial features had some kind of mental disability.
I mean, it was apparent that they did once I began talking to them, but like Hell am I just going to assume that based on someone’s looks.

I haven’t interacted with Christians around here.

I honestly do try to live by WWJD. Its a pretty legit way of thinking.

But the problem is, trying to give a chance to everybody tends to earn a lot of “tsk tsk” from many Christians around here.

My mother’s coworker’s child made a bacon bundt cake, and specifically sent a piece for her.

I agreed to eat it with my mother out of solidarity.

Honestly, she’s like, 9 or something, and did a great job of it. Kinda had a bacon pancake going, didn’t have many tunnels or anything. Would be a great dessert for a barbecue, that kinda thing.

But no one in my immediate family is that into bacon, let alone being combined with sweets.

Very robust post, covered most of what I’d say in a far more verbose manner than I have the gumption for right now.
Kudos

Pathos NetHack (The OG Roguelike’s very newbie friendly fork and UI)

Rogue Saga (A simple, bare bones Roguelike, nice for a casual run)

Orna (If old school Final Fantasy were Pokemon Go, and didn’t have predatory monetization schemes) Heroes of Aethric is its non-GPS sibling.

Most of my free android games came from when Amazon did its Amazon Underground thing years ago, so you’re kinda SoL on that, sorry.

I heard he only hits the speed of sound when he’s rollin’ around.

But part of the legacy of Desert Bus is that it was a big charity series that kind of set the stage for GDQ later in gaming history. A sort of virtual road trip.
So a lot of people have nostalgia for it.
