Curious what material you used.
I made some similar items, and given the aggregation of exposure to the elements, constant daylight, and strength/the potential to shatter, I veered away from PLA and ABS into PETG (with TPU sleeves on sensitive bits), which I've found worked really well, but my parts don't move as much as yours probably do.
How have you found the results in these regards?
Absolutely love being able to quickly mock up fit for purpose parts and deploy them immediately; great work!
FPTP ultimately is anti-hope; it's built functionally so that, pragmatically, you're generally not voting for the people you like the best, you're voting against the person you like the least. And it ultimately renders MPs/MLAs useless and performative frequently.
The whole thing is pretty messy when you get into it. Thankfully here we aren't Electoral College awful (where a single vote can potentially move ~50 seats one way or the other in a comparable situation), but that implies the bar is on the floor.
We can do better, even incrementally.
Nearly 20 years ago, I was in a computer programming class surrounded by clunky towers and desktops.
Suddenly, a loud popping, then one of the machines starts belching smoke like a budget fog machine. The kid using it is calmly moved to another station while the prof investigates.
Fifteen minutes later - pop. Smoke again.
Turns out the kid was jamming a paperclip into the power supply like he was playing Operation: Arson Edition.
That was his last day.
On the bright side, computers are a lot cheaper now - and kids are still dumb. So, maybe progress?
My half-brother is American and former Republican voter.
Your take sounds a lot like his; what eventually pivoted him away from the party was an increasing awareness that it's always someone else's fault and an inability to look inwards.
I hope things improve in the future - the American people deserve better, but that starts with becoming aware of what the real problems are.
Good thing they reinstated rapattack they defunded... Right?
