I've seen Ender v3s being discussed in forums as hobby killers a few times. Most notable printers will probably take less fiddling.

Prusa works hard on their reliability not least because they dogfood their printers constantly, using print farms to produce printer parts.

Bambu printers are reliable appliances with a ticking clock.

I use to live next to a silent crossing and it threw me every time, despite crossing it twice every week day for years

Do they have to be open for this or is closed fine?

Chuck them in an open fire then get out your paraglider for a quick ascent

That's what a singularity is. It's literally a maths term for an undefined point in a function.

Is the lesson "why throw snowballs at cars when you could be having a snowball fight with a robot instead?"

Former South Australian Liberal party leader David Speirs was fined A$9,000 (£4311; $5,720) and ordered to complete 37.5 hours of community service by an Adelaide court on Thursday.

For context on that sentence:

It is illegal to make, keep, use, sell or give away cocaine. The maximum penalty for possession, supplying or administering a controlled drug that is not a commercial or trafficable quantity (unless in a prescribed area) is $50,000 or imprisonment for 10 years or both. For larger quantities, these constitute major indictable offences and attract a maximum penalty that varies (depending on the quantity involved) between $50,000 to $1,000,000 or imprisonment for 15 years to life or both.

Seems low compared to the maximum, but I have no idea how similar cases are sentenced. I just hope he didn't get off lightly for being a notable person.

This is exactly the conversation that happened in Parliament over the Australian social media ban and its absurd.

There is a broad recognition that in a regulatory vacuum corporate social media created toxic and addictive "engagement"-maximising algorithms that harm all facets of society exposed to them.

So a solution is proposed: ban it for children.

When exactly, did it become fine for corporations to actively and deliberately harm people as long as they were old enough? How about preventing the harm?

It would be just as easy for a government to ban opaque and engagement maximising feed algorithms. But they went with the option that allows "tech" giants to keep harming the less marketable 80% of the population.

That's extremely disappointing. I was thrilled to see a Fusion candidate on my lower house list, as that sheet is usually effectively Lib/Lab/Green, and Fusion theoretically contains several parties I'd love to have the chance to give my vote to.

I'm dismayed to discover the candidate is actually a "Democracy First" member.
