Nooo lining up toy soldiers and wasting everyone's time is good when the more effective government does it.

Don't gell-mann yourself.
If it spits out plausible looking but incorrect things you notice with high frequency, how much do you not notice?
Haha fucking idiot clankerwanker.
These machines generate plausible text. That's all.
This is a contradiction. Nobody is in command unless there is violence to back up orders.
How can you lose benefits unless someone takes them. Ok I stop listening, unless someone comes and forcibly disconnects my plumbing it sounds like I still get to use it. Unless someone forced a firefighter not to extinguish a burning house of a "non citizen" it seems like they'll probably just do it anyway.
In what way is this a state?
Concretely spell out the difference between this an people self organising horizontally.
I don't understand how you envisage things like money or a company existing without the threat of violence to back them up.
Like ok, you run an election. I think your dogshit party sucks and I don't listen to them. What happens to me?
It's not clear to me that this isn't contradictory.
In what way would that be a country assuming you mean this synonymous to state?
If it doesn't have the capacity or will for coercive violence what stops it being anarchy in practice? Who enforces borders? Who stops people redistributing wealth? who makes people work in hierarchical structures?
If everyone is constantly reaffirming their voluntary association with each other by participation in a collectively decided social structure that is in fact anarchy.
If the "community policing" is violence at the will of an elite then what stops them from reestablishing a state?
In part. States have a lot of trouble understanding anything that isn't as centralised as a state. Consequently state militaries and intelligence agencies are highly specialised towards attacking these targets and going after the infrastructure they depend on.
When confronted by more horizontally organised structures they tend to get drawn into situations that become long drawn out guerrilla wars. Or playing whackamole with insurgency cells.
I didn't think I was saying anything new, just that it's a practical problem that needs solving.
What are you talking about? The only currently extant anarchish communities are in places where states are weak. Anarchists in places with highly centralised states tend to get attacked by everyone, and that's a serious problem you can't just vibes away.
Wars, even ones you win, are a tremendous drain. States tend to suck at fighting non states, but that doesn't mean it's conducive to human flourishing for the non state people. States are also moronically optimistic about their ability to "productively" war.
This isn't some fringe concern. There's any number of proposals you can read on anarchists library about how to deal with this.
It has nothing to do with being failed. If you wanted to start a democratic collective in manorialist times then yes, figuring out how not to get invaded was very important.
Hmph, nice try. However I have already depicted you as a tank and me as the tank man.
So as you can see this yields a pretty pleasantly jiggly jelly. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get reliable layer adhesion which you can also see.
This is 0.25% agar and 0.2% guar the latter helps make the gel elastic and reduce weaping, agar alone tends to be brittle. The rest is ~~druid~~ fruit syrup, just boil for a couple of minutes to fully hydrate the agar :)
- no druids were harmed in the making of this
It's badly formed because I had to make it in a cake tin lined with paper due to lack or other moulds that would fit in my steaming baskets.
This has been my white whale as it were. I have it on good authority that agar and locust bean gum works but I am not a millionaire and can't afford locust bean gum.
Here are the directions: A base recipe as an idea for ratios, 30g sucrose, 49g water, 20g tapioca starch, 1g agar agar.
Mix sugar, agar, and water. Heat to ~90 degrees and mix thoroughly to ensure good agar dissolution. Allow to cool in a water bath at ~40 degrees, keep above agar setting temp and below tapioca gelatinisation temp (~60 degrees).
slowly add tapioca starch (alternative reserve some water initially to make a slurry, you'll need about 4/5ths the mass of starch, and heat that in the bath to avoid solidifying the agar solution when mixing) stirring well to evenly mix.
Decant into a form, and steam gently over a barely simmering pot for 20 minutes. A vigorous boil will lead to bubbles in the gel.
To achieve layers just steam a layer for ~3 minutes keeping everything to go later in the temp range of 40-60 degrees.

I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45765963
The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:
and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad
All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.
This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.
Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.
