Mhm. Wo willst du denn Pferde im großen Stil hin auswildern?

In Europa z.B. würden mir nicht viele Orte einfallen wo man ohne Weiteres 6.99 Millionen Pferde auswildern kann, und wo sich niemand drum schert wenn große und durchaus gefährliche Tiere wild herum rennen.

Noch dazu Tiere, die an Menschen gewöhnt sind, also keinerlei Scheu vor Menschen haben.

Das kann einfach nicht funktionieren. 100 Pferde irgendwo auswildern, ok. Aber fast 7 Millionen? Jetzt sei doch bitte realistisch.

Sollte Reiten nicht mehr möglich sein werden die alle Salami.

Schau dir mal diese Grafik an: https://m.xkcd.com/1338/

Große Land-Tiere sind Nutztiere oder sie existieren quasi nicht.

Seit man Pferde nicht mehr als Verkehrsmittel braucht sind ihre Zahlen eh schon auf rund 10% gefallen, weil der Großteil der Pferde nur existiert weil sie einen Nutzen haben. Früher als Verkehrsmittel jetzt als Sportgerät. Ist der Nutzen weg, dann gibt’s einfach keine Pferde mehr. Genauso wie es in Europa keine anderen wilden Tiere in dieser Größe gibt.

That’s the thing with science communication. It barely exists.

There is a bogus theory. Nobody tries replicating it for decades because there’s no fame in replication. Then someone finally does and disproves the theory. If the author is lucky, it gets published on the last pages of some low-level journal, because there’s even less fame in failed replication. But the general public doesn’t read journals. They don’t even read science journalism. They might read a short note in a daily newspaper that was twisted into unrecognizability by an underpaid, overworked journalist who didn’t understand a word in the article they read in some pop science magazine.

Science doesn’t reach the general public, and if it does against all odds, it’s so twisted and corrupted that it frequently says the opposite of what the original paper said.

People do their general education in school, and once they leave they stop learning general topics.

Mag sein, aber ohne Reiten sind Pferde Zootiere.

Ich wage zu behaupten, dass es nicht arg viele Leute gibt, die sich so ein riesiges und (im Unterhalt) teures Tier zum Anschauen zulegen würden.

Und zu Salami weiter verarbeitet werden schadet der Gesundheit der Pferde noch mehr.

Im Vergleich zu dem was wir mit anderen Nutztieren machen haben es Pferde ziemlich gut.

“refurbished” is a word that might not mean anything either.

When buying your first printer you should first choose what you want: Do you want to print or do you want to tinker?

If you want to print, get a printer like the Bambulab a1 mini. If you want to tinker, an Ender 3 is ok.

If you want to really tinker a lot, get an used one.

But I really wouldn’t recommend getting an used printer for your first one since you don’t know how they have been treated and messed up.

If its your first printer I would not go for a second-hand one. There are so many ways you can subtly mess up a printer and if you don’t know your way around printers yet, then it’s quite hard to fix all that.

Considering you can get a Bambulab A1 mini which does everything out of the box and works better out of the box than an Ender 3 after months of upgrades.

I already knew my way around blender before I got into 3D printing, so I used that ever since. It’s ok. It’s certainly no CAD tool. Parameterization would be great and if you use a fair bit of boolean modifiers without applying them (so you can edit parts later on) it does get laggy.

If you already know Blender it’s a decent choice to cut down on learning time, but if not I would not recommend it.

I used OpenSCAD quite a bit as well, which is the polar opposite of Blender. It’s perfect for parametrization and editing stuff later into the project is super easy, but the handling is really bad, even as a software developer.

The language has some evil quirks, like e.g. that the resolution of curved shapes isn’t a parameter of the function used to create the shape, but instead it uses a global variable. It clearly looks like a language designed by mathematicians.

Tech is a field where there’s always infinite work to do, and it’s always only limited by the budget.

We had very low interest rates for over a decade, which made investments more profitable and thus there was always a ton of money to go around. The current financial downturn is the main reason of all the tech layoffs with no budget there are no jobs.

The upside of that: Even with all the talk of AI and stuff, once the interest rate goes down and investments go up, all the jobs will be back.

Did you try to clean your extruder gears?

Check the filament: Is the extruder gear biting too hard into it causing the gears to grind and slip? Is the extruder gear not biting enough into it causing it to not grip enough and slip? Are the extruder gears maybe worn down and don’t grip well anymore?

WIth all the things you did so far, I’m close to sure that your issue is with the extruder gears being dirty, worn or the extruder gear pressure being too weak or too strong.

At least for BSL there’s a “hybrid language” called Sign-assisted English.

That’s basically using BSL vocabulary with English grammar. You take your regular English sentence and do a 1:1 translation just replacing English words with BSL signs.

While Sign-assisted English isn’t nearly as expressive as full sign language, it’s super easy for an English speaker to get to a level where you can actually hold a conversation in it. It took me maybe 20h of practice to get to that point, which is much, much faster than I managed to in any other language. Because it’s not a new language to learn, you are just substituting words.

At the same time, Sign-assisted English is quite easy to understand for most sign-language speakers, since they usually already understand the spoken language of the land, even if it’s just so they can read, since most sign languages don’t have a written form.

So it ends up being some form of pidgin hybrid language that’s easy to learn and easy to understand for everyone involved.

If everyone would be able to use Sign-assisted spoken languages it would probably already be really helpful for everyone.

Funnyly enough, the group I started learning sign-assisted language with started using it even if no deaf person was part of the conversation, because at times sign language is much more useful than spoken languages. You can speak silently, you can easily communicate in noisy areas and it can be used over a much higher distance.

I think it would be really cool if sign-assisted spoken languages became a basic skill of everyone.

In my last job we called that “optimizing”, after a colleague (who usually only did frontent work) used the opportunity when everyone else was on vacation to implement a few show-stopping bugs in the backend and put “optimized backend code” in the commit message. He did the same thing a few months later during the next vacation period, which really solidified the joke.

Das hier. Mit beginnender Demenz sinkt das Urteilsvermögen, aber es ist erstmal meist weder für den Betroffenen noch für das Umfeld offensichtlich. Meist tut der Betroffene erstmal irgendwas wirklich Blödes bevor es den Leuten rund herum klar wird, dass was nicht in Ordnung ist und man einschreiten muss (u.A. indem man eine Diagnose anstrebt).

Der Opa meiner Frau hat mit 95 entschieden, dass er jetzt zu alt ist zum Autofahren, wollte aber keines seiner Kinder damit belasten, dass die das Auto verkaufen müssen.

Also hat er so einen “Wir kaufen dein Auto”-Typen von der Karte hinterm Scheibenwischer angerufen, und der hat gemeint, dass das Auto (welches in perfektem Zustand war) nur mehr verschrottet werden kann, und dass er es dem Opa für €1 abnimmt. Der Opa war dann richtig stolz auf sich, dass er das Auto selbstständig los geworden ist.
