has anyone heard any good 3d printer jokes lately

A loose female acquaintance of mine calls me at 1:00am today and asks me if I could 3D print something on the computer for her and bring it over in the afternoon. "Hey yeah sure sure, whatever you need I'll help you, I'm all yours," I tell her. She sends me this file and lo and behold I can't open it. It's made in Solidworks and I don't have that program so I begin panicing, trying to find this program or a way to 3D print the file. Scouring the internet yields no results and I do my usual pacing in my room.

I finally come up with an idea and I tell the girl, if I can proceed with it. The plan was I would carry my 3D printer about 2miles to her house, 3D print out the needed pages, maybe talk to her a bit while I was there. I was hoping for at least a hug out of this ordeal.

By the time I get there, I'm wet all over from sweating in the +90 degree heat outside and carrying a heavy motherfucking 3D printer. The first thing I see upon entering her room (my first time in a girl's bedroom) are some pornos on her bed.

After the initial shock of seeing such a horrific sight for the first time, I setup the 3D printer and get my job done. However, I did consider sniffing the pornos when she left the room once, but with the wuss that I am, I just ended up staring at them the whole while. That was a sarcastic joke for those of you too stupid to realize that

To make a long story short, just as I was finishing up with the 3D printing job (which was hefty), her boyfriend and his gay friend walk in, say hello, and begin playing Dungeons and Dragon out in the room as they waited for the girl to finish this work so they could go to the mall.

This effectively ruins my chances of getting a hug and I walk another 2 miles home with the motherfucking 3D printer in hand. The only thing that I got out of this were some very painful fingers and a "thanks" as I walked out her bedroom door.

So, am I pathetic for doing all these things? It wouldn't be the first time I've pledged my heart and soul to a girl and gotten back almost nothing in return. I would hate turning her or anyone else I knew down or making up some lie.

Bodies of hundreds of children found in a mass grave. The site was in the wilderness near a former sanitarium for whores and 'mentally ill' (read: licentious) women. Hospital records show only the expected number of child graves each year in the cemetery. Most of these were still-births, although there was a spike in 1913 during an outbreak of the scarlet fever.

Records from the Sisters of Misericord kept by the COE with the London Archives tell a different story. Despite the considerable number of children had by inmates of the sanitarium, the majority were unaccounted for by the time the institution closed. Early in the records children are recorded as 'missing — ran away' or simply 'gipsies'. After only a decade of operation the number of 'missing' children each year had increased sharply. The count increased so sharply that the record no longer made note of absent children after 1933. This cannot have been an oversight in the record keeping. After 1940 all children old enough to be taken from the Sisters were sent to a Whitechapel sanitarium 'for schooling' when this cannot have been a light decision, the Whitechapel order and indeed all of London still in dire straights following The Blitz. (Why send them away?)

There was a church investigation after a 'dishonoured lady' was found floating in a pond, presumed suicide. Motives for suicide seem absent; though Wendy Butler was remanded to the sanitarium as a (rape) 'victim of circumstance' and disowned by her family for her 'inappropriate behaviours w. shows of missplaced affection'. (She was believed to be a homosexual.) But her death was of public interest and in the face of articles recorded on newspaper microfilms she appears to have been anything but suicidal. Ms. Butler flourished in the sanitarium, performing her duties well and being regarded by the administration as a positive influence on other inmates due to her 'carefree manner and deeply sympathetic disposition'. A couple inmates interviewed said Ms. Butler was practicing devotions to join the Sisterhood but no comment was recorded on the subject from any church officials. The only possible explanation is her young son. Though interactions between mothers and children were strictly limited by the Sisters she was said to dote upon the lad. A local farmer reported a grief-stricken woman with very red face visited his house late the night before Wendy Butler's body was found. He was greatly concerned by her agitation and had her warm herself by the fire as he fixed her a toddy. 'She kept wailing about her son, she knew 'twas his cry that woke her.' Before the farmer could learn much more she appeared suddenly suspicious of him and fled into the night. The man did not report this meeting until late the next day after finishing his work. By then poor Ms. Wendy Butler had already been fished from her watery grave.

There is no copy nor record of findings from the investigation in the COE stacks.

Copyright becomes unenforceable if it is not defended. This is why some companies look like assholes when they throw teams of lawyers at innocent people that happened to step on their intellectual property rights. It's not that they want to crush you, but if they don't demonstrate a history of defending their copyright the courts are unlikely to side with them if it comes to an important issue later.

So what I'm saying is that the collective zeitgeisty origin of Slenderman would make a copyright claim untenable even though there was a guy who did a picture that started the whole thing. Slenderman's image, traits, story and appearance only really took shape through the contributions of hundreds of people - I don't think one person can claim it as a unique and original work.

My 10 yr old son found out about Slenderman 2 years ago and I found pictures of Slenderman he drew as well as a lego Slenderman he made. I was like, "How the hell do you know about Slenderman?" Apparently he found out about him by watching an Annoying Orange video (which featured Slenderman) and a few Minecraft youtube videos with Slenderman mods or something. So something awful isn't to blame for this.

He hasn't stabbed anyone. Yet.

In the fantasy world your school teaches you things to prepare for adult life.

In reality your school is more concerned about quashing objectionable behavior and receiving gov't. funding and doesn't have time to actually make sure you know anything useful before leaving.
