    That part of things could be aimed a China. They have something like double the amount of housing their population needs. To someone in a country with out of control housing prices, that might sound like a good problem to have, but it’s still wasteful.




  • Toner isn’t that hard to source.

    The real issue is precision accuracy. Keeping things to 2D might sound easier than 3D, but 3D printers don’t need the level of accuracy and precision that 2D printers do. 300dpi means dots every 85 microns. A very carefully tuned FDM 3D printer can get around 50 microns, but see below for the gory details:

    https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/10349/do-3d-printers-really-reach-50-micron-0-05-mm-accuracy

    Either way, 300dpi isn’t particularly impressive for a paper printer. Usable, but there’s going to be some blockiness to text, and graphics won’t be good at all. 600 or 1200dpi is more like it. Which means we take that 85 microns and cut it in half, and maybe cut it in half again.

    If we’re talking color, than our difficulty increases 4x (because there’s four cartridges for CMYK). They all have to be aligned properly to mix the colors to get a good image. We’re also definitely headed towards 1200dpi at a minimum for good results.

    Now, an open source plotter would be interesting. Not great for text documents, but useful for diagrams.

    I have the most boring “this edible ain’t shit” story. Tried a bunch, and it knocked me off to sleep for a good 10 hours. I think they had a lot of CBD in them. They were sold as sativa. While research says there’s no difference between that and indica, I suspect things labeled as one or the other tend to have other things in them, like CBD, which makes them live up to their reputation. There probably is no difference when you prepare them all the same under lab conditions.

    Don’t start like that. Do your research, and start with a low dose and work your way up.

    Later, on stuff labeled indica, I started having light forms of ego death. Not the melting into the universe that you might get from proper hallucinogens, but more like a feeling of becoming part of my environment. My tolerance levels are too high now to get that sort of thing, though.

    And you’ll be able to live in your anarchist commune if you want, we’ll leave you alone, we promise. Ignore the fact that there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to “free helicopter rides”. In fact, to try to get you on my side, I’ll claim that what you want is just another form of anarcho-capitalism.

    The problem is clearly that you never studied anarcho-capitalism before. Everyone who studied and understood it is on my side.
