  • Holy nothing burger, Batman!

    First off, this article is from 2022, re-released to farm clicks from the current hype cycle.

    Secondly, this is conjecture on top of conjecture. They discuss that we can’t know the current damage from satellite, and Iran down plays the damage. Then they go on to say “concrete is strong and can be stronger”.

    Articles like this annoy me. It’s all based on lots of unsubstantiated claims, and then one guy’s theoretical research. We don’t know the strength of the bombs. We don’t know the strength of Iran’s bunkers. We don’t know how much damage was done. None of this has changed. I doubt we’ll ever really know. But throw whatever political spin on it you want, and now you’ve got a click worthy news article.






  • I haven’t purchased files to print at all, so I can’t answer about Etsy or Cults3D. However, I can speak to other aspects and hopefully drive up engagement to get someone who can help more in here.

    1: Dunno

    2: You’re probably fine to print most things. Probably nothing like nudity or sex toys (don’t print sex toys in general, but that’s a different topic), and then a lot will shy away from guns. Cosplay guns might be tolerated.

    3: This is a complex question. You need to know your print volume. All prints can scale, but if it’s wearable you probably aren’t going to be wanting to scale. Most creators, including that in your link, will piece out larger prints to accommodate this. I would reach out to the creator telling them your print bed size and intended use, and they might be able to adjust the sizes/pieces for you.

    4: filament is usually $20-30/kg. I can get a LOT of prints out of 1kg. And usually the creator or slicer will tell you the estimated grams.

    5: Can’t speak to this one. I think I recall some negative opinions towards Cults3D back in the reddit days, but I forget why.

    I know, I know.

    I’m well aware that this is what I’m doing:

    But while he’s not incorrect to use that title, he wields it as a badge of authority. It’s also not incorrect to call him Phil McGraw, and doesn’t give him that authority. So that’s why I’m an old man yelling at a cloud about this.

    Also, PTs don’t require a doctorate degree. But some do carry it.

    I really wish people would stop referring to Phil McGraw as a doctor. He holds a PhD, and therefore is as much of a doctor as your physical therapist. Although I would argue that the physical therapist is more of a doctor given their knowledge being more directly related to medicine.

    Phil McGraw has not held a medical license or license related to the field of his PhD since 2006.

    I will now step down from my soap box






  • You’re pretty spot on there! Wouldn’t be hard to program a controller to measure the voltage on the battery, then send run signal to generator to turn on. The when it hits a mark 80% charged, probably, send kill signal to the generator. With this controller, it would also pair nicely with solar, which it sounds like OP is pursuing as well

    OP, for maximal efficiency and integration with solar, batteries are an absolute must. Much higher startup cost, but much less expensive in the long term.
