Life, the Universe and Everything can continue

Here is the model Jamira provided to me :



The wheels look excellent already...just 1.5 more hours :



For now its mesmerizing to watch it printing...but the fans...jesus....wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Cant wait for the next experiment :D

 

Its alive !

Next, sanding & coloring ! (and figuring out how to attach the wheels properly) ^^

 

thanks jamira for all the nice chitchat & 3D printing insights

and for the shipment in advance

 

uh some warning about that link would have been appreciated Jamira... I was eating.

(thankfully wasn't at work)

 

i was at work and i closed it in like 0.1 seconds lol

 

It was more... well put it this way, if I'd been drinking milk, it would have probably come out of my nose ;)

But indeed same reason I clicked it. I wondered if it was a competitor to VRchat. I've seen a few videos of VR chat. It looks bonkers and slightly reminds me a bit of the anime Lain (the bit where people have various bizarre avatars to represent themselves in the Wired and someone comments Lain is impressive because she has a human avatar... or something like that).

I actually tried VR chat but it was a nightmare on my PC. Crazy laggy and jumpy... I couldn't handle it for long (and nor could my PC really).

Maybe you should try VRchat? I think it is free - ah but I think you need PC VR though?

 

haha yeh that pic just about sums up VR chat. It's total chaos and defo NOT for those wanting a polished or pretty experience. I had another look at the other thing. Bonking theme aside, that actually has some nice graphics. I looked it up and people thought maybe it was unreal engine. I wonder how that thing has evolved/will evolve in future. I see it's stuck about 5 years. I can imagine with such nice graphics and landscrapes etc other game play might well appear. I could almost imagine it just evolving into any other MMO (but with bonking allowed).

As a sidenote, I don't quite understand how someone can justify surfing whatever websites while at work and then expect the creator or contributors of that site to keep its content "safe" in case someone catches you. In my book, the risk is entirely on you when you decide to stray. Carry on. :)

 

BOSS KEY ftw ! x'D

 

Shots fired! :O

1. Not a case of "catching". Definitely not if you never intended to visit such a site in the first place. I would say I was as equally perturbed as anyone who may have been watching.

2. Historically no one who posts on here has ever linked anything "dodge" without making some comment (or it being obvious from context/topic). Indeed one should make judgement calls about the sites they visit but that judgement has to be based on something, else no one would ever even visit a news site for example during their lunch break.

In short, try and understand better.

 

I did the same thing to you before, inadvertently and on this same forum, and you were at work. Well. I can appreciate diversity just as much, but I disagree with reversing responsibility because of it. At the extreme end, one always has to remind that there is a basic human right to free expression, but no basic human right to not get offended. We forget that all too often in today's climate of hypermorality and political correctness. How something is perceived is entirely in the eye of the beholder, not the creator's burden to consider every possible sensitivity of their diverse audiences. Of course there is potential for abuse like with everything, but that doesn't invalidate the premise. It's just as malicious in the argumentation and easily detected once you've familiarized yourself with the standard toolbox: http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/skeptic/arguments.html
