Sadly won't be able to meet my deadline, I'll do another stream later this year hopefully. June has been was busier than I anticipated.

"Crypto was used by Epstein" Oh? An untraceable asset made popular by black market drug sites was used for nefarious deeds other than drugs?

This week, because my phone case broke (and due to the storm, wasn't getting a new one before thursday), I went naked with my Pixel 10 Fold. It's awesome, I love the color, and it feels so nice and thin. But, it's way too slippery. But I want to embrace the color more, moonstone is so nice.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

It's almost humorous when I make a post on @positron3d.com promoting "love is love" and I immediately get snarky remarks from people who follow us. These people really don't dig deep do they? It's one click away to see that I'm a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community ๐Ÿ˜‚ Bi/Demi let's goooo

I'm new to using 3D Printing in a new way - DECORATIVE PRINTS! Just finished this scale model of the James Webb Space Telescope!!! This looks awesome. But, I really like the matte finish the protective film leaves, think I'll leave it instead of going full reflection.

Tariffs are now 104% on imports from China. Now, I do not have a financial horse in this race. I do not personally import from China or anything of a sort. But my community does. The Positron community that I worked so hard to build over the past 4 to 5 years, what now?

But with these tariffs, the momentum that I spent the past four to five years of my life building, almost has essentially been kneecapped. I am fuming for my community. And I am going to put all of this rage into a creative endeavor to make an even better machine.

We've been planning this new machine for over a year now. But now we have to change its design parameters specifically because we are becoming victims of a trade war. I will not let Positron die. It gave my life purpose and passion. I will not let it be taken away.

The kit was already on the expensive side, and was already a hard pill to swallow. But for those that were enthusiasts of the idea, it was still within reason. I cannot in good conscious at this point recommend that anyone spend over $1,000 on a Positron.

And without subsidies, there is no way that a small production run machine like Positron can be made reasonably here in United States. We were nominated for Best FDM desktop printer in 2024, and this was only possible due to our collaboration with LDO.

I just successfully made a hydra fight itself with yo mama jokes, and then telling the heads that it was the other heads that said it with a 29 on deception. It rolled a 28 on insight. I win.

Tariffs alone will never work. If you want to bring manufacturing back to United States, subsidize. Rather than just raise costs on everybody, subsidizing the industry you want to return to United States is how you are going to encourage American manufacturing.

Positron is made with LDO out of Shenzhen because they are the only ones capable of producing the printers. If we did that here the United States, the cost of the kit would be triple if not quadruple. Because there is no subsidies to bring 3D printing manufacturing here to the States.

Chinese 3D printers are dominating the market because the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing 3D printers, That's how machines like the Centauri Carbon can exist for $200. The current strategy is just asinine.

I'm officially down to 195lb, that's a total of 45 pounds lost in less than a year! My biggest change? Just, eating less. I'm not starving myself, but I only eat what I genuinely need. I've stopped eating excessively, and have been gradually losing 5lb or so each month.

Ope, been here before ๐Ÿ˜… forgot I posted this. Guess I gained 5lb and lost it again ๐Ÿ˜‚ bsky.app/profile/noma...

I'm down to 195lb, I can't wait to see what I look like when I finally drop all the weight. I grew out my beard years ago to just make it look better, which pigeon holed me into the look I have today. But thanks to my whateverism awakening, I know the mirror will reflect me one day.

An interesting perspective: I don't call myself a gamer anymore, mainly because I genuinely haven't touched videogames in a while. Probably maybe 3 to 4 hours a month. Not saying I don't want to be one, it's just easier to admit I don't really play games all too much anymore ๐Ÿ˜…

I've been driving north for 6 hours and it's still fucking raining. Can I see the road for just 1 minute please? Just going to take a break and eat this burger.....

Hey, I wanted an upgrade, okay? ๐Ÿ˜‚ I think even if I HADN'T replaced my Prusa MK3S with the MK4S, I'd have wanted to upgrade the MK4. The upgrade kit was easy and straightforward, and in the end, I had something pretty groovy. ๐Ÿ˜‰ #3dprinter #upgrades #mk4s #armyofdarkness #prusa

I will be sharing this STL tomorrow. I think we all can agree that @ldojason.bsky.social ensures that LDO is a bastion of the community, supporting projects like Positron, Voron, Cocoa Press, but also not afraid to support the LGBTQ+ community. Thank you Jason for all you do ๐Ÿ’™
