How much to 3D print one of these versus the $150 buyback?

Could be just some nerd who did the figures and found an amazing mark up for doing gently caress all apart from print guns.

Way less than $150. That nerd is exactly what it is

This is loving great because it was a good reminder that when people say diabetes they really mean type 2 diabetes. I want to shake this person and yell at them that type 1 diabetics absolutely have to have insulin or we will loving die.

I read this article. The headline is intentionally provocative and the content is much better. He does talk about type 1 diabetics, and ultimately comes to this conclusion:

In place of capping the out-of-pocket cost of just insulin, lawmakers should cap the out-of-pocket cost of all diabetes medications.

Twitter becoming a turbo charged poo poo posting haven is really turned out hilarious

It's hilarious but it's the real and final death knell of twitter. It's no longer safe to be a Brand on the site, and that means not only will no one buy ads but the entities who give the site all the free content that makes users want to visit will go away. Company support and community relations accounts, celebrities, media properties, government representatives, everyone who has an image they don't want co-opted by edgy jokes and scammers for $8. Musk has no plan to stop this, and if he did he has no one left to implement it, and if he had the staff it would take too long.

Or is this not actually the ADL and just someone spoofing the name because of twitters new rules?

It's safe to assume that anything you see sourced from Twitter in the immediate future is fake. They let anyone buy a blue check and they aren't enforcing any rules about names. The whole site is a gigantic cesspool of impersonation right now. The harmless ones are funny, but there's also a ton of phishing and social engineering going on. Someone impersonated the actual Twitter PR account and used it to steal crypto. The remaining staff are utterly swamped and can't even begin to get it under control.

Ok, it might be my covid fog that's the problem but I'm just not understanding what this is all about. What's the equivalence?

The Biden administration politely asked the media for privacy, then allowed a fashion magazine to document their granddaughter's wedding. The Trump administration told the media to go gently caress itself, then all of them committed a bunch of crimes. These things are exactly the same.

There's a lot of people on the right who have absolutely no clue what their favorite bands or music is about but being upset about the rainbow on the Dark Side of the Moon cover 50 years later seems a bit much.

Most of those people probably have no idea there's a rainbow on the cover of a 50-year-old album and assumed it's is being used only for its modern meaning

My first thought was that that was a satire made to promote a sci-fi movie or game, but it looks like the Rezvani Vengeance is an actual product that does do all of the things mentioned in the video. Starting at $285K and you need the optional Military Package for all the security and antipersonnel features, but you get the bulletproof vest thrown in for free!
