The swastika on German Nazi flags were black. Of course they also were mostly red (and had a white circle).

Red, white, and black is definitely a choice though. Maybe picking a color that wasn’t on the Nazi flag would have been better for this sticker.

They get a lot of flack on here but this is definitely a big privacy win from them.

I would put it in the same class as lathes or mills you probably aren’t saving money by buying one but it may open more avenues for you.

I will say though with the price of printers vs mills & etc, a cheap printer will get you much closer to breaking even. You might save more than you spend if you can use an Ender 3 judicially but overall it’s mostly for those odd projects or when a custom part is needed.

Anyone read other coverages on this? Based on the article I didn’t see anything to counter indicate that he wasn’t just shot by someone who left the murder weapon at the scene.

Wow .26mm of disparity is a lot for such a crucial part. It may not be a high end printer. But seriously? At $280 USD I’d expect the pulley to be tighter tolerance.

Here’s a few on reports:

-If you think it merits a report report it.

-If you’re unsure if it breaks a rule DM a mod.

-Idealy on a report write the rule # broken. If you’re typing past three sentences it’s may have unnecessary info.

-If someone is breaking a “don’t be mean” rule, the answer isn’t for you to break it too.

Here’s a few non report ways you can help:

-Set a positive tone.

-A lot of good posts/comments probably never get heard because people think it’s too lower effort or no one is interested.

-Crosspost to related communities to help people find related communities.

Reach out to the seller. Assert to them that you own that IP and that it was released with a limited license that doesn’t include their sales. Say that they need to either stop or purchase a license from you to continue. If they don’t stop or want to get a license now is the point for you to contact an IP lawyer.

You could go straight to the lawyer option but this should save you some money and possibly resolve it without outside help.

Just now realizing for the first time slrpk.net doesn’t stand for “slurp k . net”

Fixed thanks!

No but I think we have one for UFOs

Sure. But only if your niche community is centered around a YouTube channel run by a man with a three musketeers looking mustache and ponytail who travels the globe to disassemble military prototypes.

Glad to hear it! And yes that is me. You’re making me feel like Lemmy’s second biggest celebrity, behind the android community moderator Margot Robbie. If you enjoy the posts don’t forget to check out the Forgotten Weapons YouTube channel & website.

The community is sort of a place for fans of the show to post stuff that other fans would enjoy, but it’s got a whole bunch of members who actually have found out about Forgotten Weapons through the Lemmy community first. I’m really glad to see people who find out about Forgotten Weapons from the community. It makes me feel like I’m giving back to Ian McCollum for everything I’ve learned from his show.

Thanks! User engagement is what keeps me going. Otherwise it feels like I’m just talking into a void.

Thanks! !forgottenweapons@lemmy.world has been around for about a month and we’re almost at 1k members!

My niche community didn’t exist, so I just made it myself and started posting. Be that change you want to see.

Good. Lemmy, like Reddit, is fundamentally user driven platform. The most important thing for the life of it is people making posts.

I think market saturation is also a factor.

In the US you don’t need a license to purchase a CNC. Even items with export restrictions like night vision goggles (Under ITAR) can be bought by anyone and shipped to your door. The export controls would only come into effect upon you exporting them.

All US firearms purchases made at gun stores involve background checks. In some states (like California) you are also required to do so for private party sales (like buying from your neighbor).

All states require you to get a background check on the purchase of a firearm from a gun store. Waiting periods are in a minority of states. Pretty much any felony, even nonviolent ones prohibits you from buying a gun.

The ‘gun show loophole’ is actually just the in private party sales (like selling your neighbor your gun) no background check is mandated. This is because the law requiring background checks is a federal law and the federal government has the authority to regulate interstate commerce but not intrastate commerce. Some states like NY have stricter background check laws than the federal law.

Bows, knives, & machetes all don’t require background checks. Grenades, technically any can get a license to own & make explosives but each one carries a $200 tax in addition to the hoops required to get the license, so pretty much no one really does that recreationally.
