I remember seeing a video of a light display in Cuba. They couldn't get much in the way of controllers so they used a rotating drum of electrical contacts to open and close circuits for animation effects. This looks very similar to that. Pretty ingenious but totally unsafe.

Just set it to 5% infill in fast spaghetti mode and we can crank that baby out before the sun goes dark.

And we started with "Don't be evil"

That looks like a calculated non-apology. An actual apology probably doesn't exist. He said "I'm sorry if anyone was offended". He placed the blame on the reaction that others had to his abhorrent statements, not on his actions themselves. He didn't seem to care that he was in the wrong, only that the reaction from the people was politically inconvenient for him.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a valid report of an instance of Trump ever uttering the words, "I'm Sorry?" I just wonder if this is a pathological thing for him and Fred instilled in him the idea that to apologize for anything at any time, no matter how wrong you are is to show weakness.

Anyone have a recommendation for a decent kids smartwatch with cell service? I got my son a Garmin Bounce and the text and the service sucked so we returned it.

Born in 1980. Seeing the original Mortal Kombat arcade for the first time at a smoke-filled bowling alley that when I was in 7th grade was pretty awe inspiring.

Aside from that playing Wolfenstein 3d for the first time was really trippy.

Something tells me that if Biden, Hillary and Obama were to start stumping for Harris and the media covered it, Trump would have no idea who he was actually facing in the election. There's no way his handlers would be able to keep him focused.

That it's pronounced heliclopter and not helicopter.
