The thing that gets me is the “ghost gun” they found on him doesn’t look like a 3D printed gun according to the pictures that were released. It looks like a typical factory manufactured pistol with a metal slide and a metal barrel. Both machined. He would have spent a lot of needless time adding this much detail to the gun, like the grips on the machined metal slide. Why put so much effort into something like that?

Everything on that gun looks highly machined. This isn’t what you would expect from a home brewed 3D printed gun.

Now it could be they just took a random gun and photoed it to make the media happy and didn’t want to show the actual gun. But it’s odd.

in reply to Coreidan

The descriptions I have read have let me think that the only 3d printed part is the receiver, the rest is made from matching spare parts

The receiver was the only part with a serial number (law has changed recently and now all parts are marked)





SPEED DREAMS - It's happening, folks! 🎉

Our migration from SVN to GIT has already started! You can now access our new repositories on a-lec.org/ 😍 :

The repos are now open! Please feel free to play around with them, ask questions, report feedback, etc.

To avoid confusion, please keep in mind the following TODOs:

  • Migrate existing assets (tracks, driver liveries, cars) to their own repositories.

    • This can be done at a slower pace, since we can only migrate assets whose licensing is clear and fully free (as in freedom).



    • Non-free assets should be ideally hosted elsewhere.



    • Illegal assets (e.g.: those under proprietary licenses and/or violating intellectual property, such as lancer09-wr) will not be migrated.


  • Migrate existing tickets/issues from SVN to forge.a-lec.org/speed-dreams/.
  • Make some suggested improvements to the in-game download manager.

    • "Download all" button.



    • Filter by category (car category, track type, robot type) and quality (pre-alpha, alpha, beta, production).

Yes, they are a marketing technique, but I don't know of any other legal way to share them.
Please give me any ideas you may have. Thanks.

For sites with soft paywalls like the NYT, I use the normal URL, and put a paywall bypass URL in the body of the post, for the convenience of those with browsers that don’t have a paywall bypass plugin.

BBC Staffers Reveal Editor’s ‘Entire Job’ to Whitewash Israeli War Crimes


BBC editor Raffi Berg has almost complete control of the British broadcaster’s online coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza and is ensuring that all events are reported with a pro-Israel bias, according to a new report published on 28 December by Drop Site News.

“This guy’s entire job is to water down everything that’s too critical of Israel,” one former BBC journalist said.

This isn't 32000 in 1 wave, though. This is ~2500 a year over 13 years. Even the answers given at the beginning of the study could have changed wildly if the same people had been polled at the end. And even if not, 4 people per city is not representative of an entire city at any given moment of time.

What demographics in China did they poll each year? Did they poll people of different racial profiles? Did they poll uyhgurs? Were the candidates selected randomly or were the assigned by the government? If the latter, were they coached or paid? Any number of things could throw off that study.

You're free to read into the study itself more and call the ones who took it up to ask. The fact of the matter is that, statistically, the study is sound and can be trusted to be accurate.



Lavrov Says Russia's 'Not Satisfied' With Proposals From Trump Team To End Ukraine War

It's almost like he's someone who has a habit of making promises with every intention of breaking them. There should be a term for that...

Interesting but I'm skeptical that they would develop this if they could simply convert a NG turbine and it would only be 2x less efficient.
in reply to Hexadecimalkink

It's more like the Jupiter 1 "fuel consumption" for 30mw output can be way overestimated.

only be 2x less efficient.


More technical description is combustion is 50% as efficient as a fuel cell. It is very significant difference.

Palestinian Authority shuts down Al-Jazeera in occupied West Bank


in reply to NightOwl

Palestinian Authority makes it sound like Palestinians are doing this.

I'm guessing the PA is actually an Israeli entity dedicated to controlling Palestinians.
