Despite having once branded cryptocurrencies a “scam”, Trump changed his stance and has been a major advocate of the unit

And that my friends tells you everything you need to know about cryptocurrencies.

Here’s how to solve that problem: don’t eat the sunglasses.

I added a warning note to the relevant paragraph on my Github. Thanks!

75% actually. Each layer lets half the light thru, so it lets half of half thru in total.

But yeah, like others said, that doesn’t make it safe.

Acknowledged 🙂

Hmm yes, you’re right: my regular lenses do have an anti-UV coating on them. I clean forgot about it.

Indeed, it was for the challenge. Modeling this is surprisingly CPU-intensive and printing it is a bit finicky to get right.

I wanted to see if I could make something that works out of nothing other than PLA rather than actual, good eyewear.

I live way up north in the boonies so it’s not like we get massive amounts of sunshine here. And there’s always the trees to provide shade. But they might come in handy every once in a while in the summer.

They’ll let UV through but no more than 25%, since that’s the amount of light the mesh lets through. But hey, for the price, I can’t complain 🙂

Also, I suspect the PLA will crumble very quickly if it’s hit by enough UV to damage my eyes…

Well, not every country has a Reichstag to burn. That’s the best excuse he could come up with.

“Emerging product” pfff… Vaping has been around for 2 decades at this point. Plenty of time to show that it’s harmless and it’s being banned solely due to lobbying efforts from the pharma and tobacco industries.

I smoked for 25 years, vaped for 10 and I quit both eventually.

I couldn’t have stopped smoking without vaping. Vaping saved my life.

But it did that at a time when it wasn’t on any greedy company’s radar and it was still free-as-in-freedom (and, well, 10 to 100 times cheaper too). Now the opportunity I had 14 years ago is pretty much gone for really addicted smokers like I was looking for an effective cessation method.

Shame on you sonsabitches working to deny smokers access to the only really effective tool to make their lives better. I hope you feel some shame some day on your death bed…

I can do one dollar’s worth of anything GUARANTEED?

That one’s easy: I’ll buy a fraction of a winning lottery ticket.

As always, Trump talks about tarffs as if it’s a punishment he threatens to impose on other nations, when in reality, tariffs are first and foremost a punishment on the American people.

Exporting countries will not foot the bill. American importers will, and they’ll pass the extra cost on to the American consumers.

Tariffs may ultimately spur the development of domestic manufacturing of whatever imported goods will be taxed. That’s the entire point of tariffs after all. But it’s far from certain and it will take years in the best of cases - years during which Americans will become poorer and will have a harder time making ends meet.

That’s what Trump is really proposing. That’s what the Americans voted for.

Oh no. NOOOO! The humanity!!! 😭

Ooh, piece of candy stuck in the couch…

I guarantee you Ransom isn’t in the Book of Mormon 🙂

Nothing prevents you from going by any name of your choosing in your daily life without necessarily having your name legally changed. Plenty of trans people do that.

In many countries, it’s difficult and often very costly to change one’s name. I know in France for example, you have to prove in court that it’s a handicap in your daily life, like if your parents gave you a legal first name that resulted in something really egregious when spelled out with your last name.

The best unique name by far is this one: Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow.

I once worked with this guy, who now inserts a H between his first and last name, probably because the “joke” has gotten old for him decades ago.

I would have sued my parents in his place.

Indeed. Normally I pity fhe kids whose parents give them stupid names because they have to carry the burden for the rest of their lives. But ultra-billionnaires’ offsprings who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and zero obligation to work for anything in life don’t exactly elicit sympathy in me.

Elon Musk’s 7th and 8th offsprings take the cake: X Æ A-Xii (pronounced “X Ash A Twelve”) and Exa Dark Sideræl (nicknamed “Y”). Stupid rich people will do stupid rich people shit because they’re not like the rest of us…
