They have a window on the side of the machine enclosure open so they can fit a long workpiece in it. If they turned on the coolant it would end up spraying some outside the machine and make a mess.

For 2 quick holes like this it wouldn’t be worth it, but I used run a few different parts that extended thru the machine, and would magnet a plastic shower curtain to the inside of the machine so I could continue using coolant.

If anything, DeepSeek maps a better AI future for those concerned about censorship because it was released as an “open weights” model, meaning people could modify it to talk about Tiananmen Square and whatever else they want.

2nd to last paragraph of the article addresses exactly that

Oh yeah, a high density fixture plate seems like the right call then!

Currently trying to come up with a way to make them more than one at a time.

What’re ya working with? Seems like it’d be easy enough to do an op1 and op2 pair in soft jaws per kurt vise.

I’m not sure it’s logistically feasible even if they really wanted to at this point.

This video is less than 10 mins, and uses pretty rounded off numbers, but it’s very illustrative of the magnitude of guns in america. Even going beyond any other problems that enforcement would have like non compliant sheriffs and organized resistance.

In Minneapolis you might go ask the people at the hack factory.

They have called hillary clinton, joe biden, and kamala harris woke and socialists. They will do that to literally anyone. As long as the dem candidates are bad policy communicators those labels will stick and be perceived as negative.

The Eye of the Heron, by Ursula K. LeGuin

The Expanse Series, by James S.A. Corey

The Mars Trilogy, by Kim Stanley Robinson

If you like The Emerald Mile, I would also recommend The Tower by Kelly Cordes. I don’t think it is as strong, but it is another book at the juncture of outdoor adventure and history, and I liked it a lot.

Eggs aren’t a large part of my current diet, mostly because I am not cooking in the morning often right now, but there was a time when they were very cost effective. Where I was living about a decade ago they were about $1.70 per dozen, and I ate probably a little over a dozen a week. If I was still in that mode; seeing a dozen eggs for $9 would definitely stop me buying them, throw my meal planning into a bit of chaos and tick me off.

If I recall correctly the ones on the plastic coil can be put back on the coil. I definitely misremembered how nail guns work, it’s probably been a decade since I used one with any regularity, and I have made a handful of compressed air blowguns.

You could probably easily add some fletching to them and maybe a little bit of a barrel to the nail gun to get a little extra muzzle velocity.

When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery.

The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, it is about a nearish future colonisation of Mars, and Mars is as much a character as any of the humans. He spends a lot of time talking about geology and how they go about the project of terraforming. It does have conflict, and it can be exciting, but a lot it is just people work to solve problems.

Another rec would be The Emerald Mile, by Kevin Fedarko, which is just awesome. It’s about the grand canyon generally, and in particular about the rafting scene there.

Sadly, even there; it would’ve been better if he didn’t

It definitely could have happened, its just a moderately high effort joke. With the right class and building on shared buy in over a semester or more its not that wild that someone would come up with the idea to do something like this. After all even if it is fake someone came up with the idea just as a written joke.

I love Kim Stanley Robinson, but yeah, he is definitely handwaving past a lot of the feasibility and hard work involved in many of the solutions presented. He is just a writer throwing out ideas more than working thru the struggles of implementing and getting adoption of those ideas.

Rational might be stretching it a bit. There’s a reason this is called the Greater Fool Theory.
