“Law enforcement cannot do this alone,” Monaco said during a gathering in Washington of federal law enforcement officials, members of the 3D-printing industry and academia. “We need to engage software developers, technology experts and leaders in the 3-D-printing industry to identify solutions in this fight.”

Good luck with that, it’s basically impossible. The best they could hope to do is have commercial printing services watch for and refuse to print the devices. Anyone can look up the patent for a Glock switch and design and print one themselves. It can’t be blocked on the printer level because that would require the printer to be a lot smarter than they currently are, and any such blocking could be bypassed by building a printer from scratch (not easy, but totally doable).

I’m actually talking about guns, and yes, they should be easier to get. The government and the wealthy should concern themselves with improving material conditions to avoid unrest instead of trying to monopolize the capacity for violence.

In California you can only buy torches and pitchforks that are approved by the state. Guess how many inexpensive ones are approved (lol, none). If you want to carry your torch or pitchfork outside of your house it either needs to be locked in a box or you need to buy a permit, which runs about $1200. There’s also a fee for a background check anytime you want to buy torch fuel, and they’re raising it by 500%.

by the time Windows 11 rolled around it was full-featured enough to serve as a complete Control Panel replacement most of the time, with a handful of exceptions made for especially obscure changes

TIL managing Outlook profiles is obscure

You guys still get commercials?

So you’re telling me that you can just press a few buttons and learn how to make a bomb? How are your landlords and bosses still alive?

Chegg is run by incompetent dumb fucks

Two punches for calling it Aluminium

To pick a losing candidate? That’s more of a DNC move.

I’m suggesting that literally every eligible voter should have done that. Republicans only get away with representing the worst vocal minorities in this country because we let them.

what do you suggest people should have done during the primaries

Register Republican and vote for anyone but Trump. Even if the vote were split and he ended up winning anyway it would have emboldened centrist Republicans to stand against the fascist wing of the party.

No one is asking him to drop out because they aren’t afraid he’s going to lose. Simple as that.

Everyone with their panties in a twist right now could have done something about it during the primaries, but apparently protest votes about Israeli atrocities were the priority.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world

Hi Steven. Thanks for taking the time to help us find answers to our long unfulfilled questions.

As far as I know, you and Elvis are the only people that can answer my question. For obvious reasons, I’m asking you. How can I get some law enforcement credentials? I’m wholly unqualified but would like to be able to get discounts and preferential treatment from the government and boot lickers. Also badge bunnies. Any suggestions?

It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving

My favorite was the person pleading to Desantis to make the guy a citizen. Also interesting that the commenters are on his side while simultaneously bitching about illegals. I guess he’s white enough for them.

what are people going to do? go somewhere else?

Amazon fucked up on this part of the enshitification strategy because there are still plenty of other options

Most isn’t all and that’s the point. You can be concerned about the ethical treatment of animals without going full vegan, you’ll just need to pay more attention and money at the grocery store to support the right products.

TIL the eggs from my backyard chickens might be from a factory farm

No one likes being criticized and labeled a monster by an ignorant prick. They way too frequently act like every egg comes from a half zombie chicken that’s kept in a little box and tortured just for fun, or that a cow couldn’t possibly end up in a cheeseburger after living its best life. Factory farming is bad for lots of reasons, but it’s not characteristic of the entire industry.
