If he needs a spine and professional integrity, then so do 95% of academia. Which suggests that policies need to change, not just individual behavior. Which is…what the author is advocating for.

Sir are you accusing this meme of lying to me?

That’s what I thought 20 years ago but today I am not so sure :(

I design battery-operated things with custom batteries specified and partly-designed by me, and it takes like 10x the design effort, 20% more parts cost, and compromises on capacity, size, weight, and/or watertightness, as you mentioned. The design effort in particular is just killer - so many more interfaces to deal with, when a non-removable pack can just be shrink-wrapped and dropped into a pocket.

It’s worth it, I’m not saying it isn’t. But I do sympathize a bit.

Of course, I’m working at a company with i employees, not tens of thousands. Probably easier for Nintendo to throw manpower at it.

This seems wrong to me now but at first I thought of the demon core and its layered enclosure.

A certain audience will, and maybe that’s all it needs?

I’m just saying you could slip in a bite of beef jerky or raw-dog some Gatorade powder once in a while

My daughter (and wife, suspected) has adhd but I do not, and I’d like to understand this more. What are some situations where this happens?

Escape velocity does scale with (square root of) radius so its not a dumb thought.

And I’m not a rocket surgeon but I could imagine earth rockets might be operating near some physical limits that make a 50% increase (or whatever) infeasible.

It’s not just peanuts but it’s not really “preservatives and shit” either.

It’s a whole process for streamlining production environments, but I just meant it as shorthand for organizing my tools, specifically giving each one its own dedicated place so I can tell at a glance whether everything is put away, and if not, what’s missing.

A couple examples of the concept

I generally come across specific things that prompt me to print a custom solution for my life. I wouldn’t be surprised if there literally isn’t any truly useful better-3d-printed-than-purchased thing that someone can recommend for you. (But maybe I’m just not imaginative enough :))

Maybe the biggest category of things is replacement parts for stuff around your house. The $7 doohickey might cost you $1+time to print instead.

That said, here are some things I’ve printed for use around my house, which might give you some ideas for your own life:

• drain spouts with hose connection to route water from my gazebos “gutters” to the ground instead of just splashing down out of a hole
• a cover for the switch on my floor lamp so the light can only be toggled with the wall switch instead of in 2 places
• wall mount for my cable modem/router
• temporary oil cap replacement for my car when I accidentally lost it after changing the oil
• custom tool holders to 5-S my workspace
• large v block clamps for my drill press
• riser for my bench top power supply, to tilt it at a better angle for viewing
• infinite toys for my kids
• replacement part for a model kit that my kid accidentally broke
• handlebar basket custom sized for my kids bike
• replacement latch clip for my car’s fuse cover

Oh God do crabs really masturbate that much?

Imagine participating in the design, manufacture, and sale of something so obviously dangerous. How can they sleep?

Loss is in there somewhere, isn’t it?

Amusingly, the very first search result I got for “US americans” is Exactly what I thought it would be

Here in Murica the colloquial meaning of an unqualified “America” is “the United States of America” its just the way we speak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
