This is a full book and not just the cover for fun and giggles!

In The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America author Julian Montague has created an elaborate classification system of abandoned shopping carts, accompanied by photographic documentation of actual stray cart sightings. These sightings include bucolically littered locations such as the Niagara River Gorge (where many a cart has been pushed to its untimely death) and mundane settings that look suspiciously like a suburb near you.

Working in the naturalist's tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted. The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found.

What matters :

  • Auto calibration of Z-offset (multi-points). Your bed will warp with time and you don't want to fight with it.
  • PEI magnetic bed. You don't want to fight with your things not sticking to the bed - or sticking too much. You may still have issues but less.

You will be happy with this as a cheap starter printer around 200$.

After some time, you may want to print bigger things, faster, and with ABS/ASA for technical parts. Then you could invest in a bigger printer, faster, hot and with an enclosure for ABS fumes and warping issues. The budget for this is 600-1000$.

Mario Kart Wii (others versions too maybe) has a music with more and more instruments. The more you configure your kart, the more instruments are playing. It's a nice warmup.

That was sarcastic. 6 days max without a mass shooting is low. Especialy when the average number is 2 mass shooting every fucking day.

AI understands proximity of things in 2 dimensions. Convex structures are easily projected on flat surfaces. Blobs are convex structures. Boobs are blobs.

My spouse is now mocking me because I giggled in front of a picture of ingredients. "Ooooh funny... ingredients.... oh .. oh .. oh..."

No, that's not that clear for the moment.

Let me explain the French case :

  • Webedia is a big company that owns most of the famous French websites (jeuxvideo.com , etc.). All these websites have cookie walls with an alternative : a paid subsription. What they say, is that the website is now accessible with subscription only. However, if you accept cookies, you'll get a discount (free access).
  • The CNIL (a big French governemental entity) tried to forbid this. If someone reports a website, it's for this entity to take action. There is no need to report Webedia, the CNIL knows already :-)
  • The Conseil d'Etat (juridical entity of the French gov) said that "non", it's OK for Webedia to use such paywalls. The CNIL can't forbid Webedia to use them.
  • The CNIL asked the jusrists at the European level... here we are. We still don't know.

Here is a French website where the CNIL explains this :

Je pense que la majeure partie de la population française n'en a que faire de ce coup d'état au Niger. Et pourtant le Niger est extrêmement stratégique pour la France. La plus grosse part d'import d'uranium (34%) vient du Niger. https://www.francetvinfo.fr/societe/nucleaire/vrai-ou-fake-nucleaire-la-france-importe-t-elle-de-l-uranium-de-russie-comme-l-affirme-cecile-duflot_5398636.html

S'il y a eu récemment une opération militaire française au Mali ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op%C3%A9ration_Barkhane ) c'est en partie pour que le Niger reste stable. Le Mali est limitrophe.

Les conséquences restent à voir, mais quelque-soit l'issue, il y a de très fortes chances pour que l'uranium, et donc l'énergie en France va devenir plus chère.

C'est pas un peu en train de se casser la gueule l'aura de Tesla ? C'était la voiture du futur. Mais il y a eu tellement de revers et mensonges...

Sûrement autre chose.
