      3D printing EMP parts

      It turns out, you can’t make copper coils out of TPU…

      As I think about it now, given the thermal conductivity of copper, I’d bet it would be damn near impossible to 3d print with it.

    Why do people everywhere have such shitty moral compasses? It’s like nobody reads or watches anything or listens to anybody.

    Did they think everybody’s comments of horror were jokes? Do people just think bad shit never comes to fruition?

    V2 rocket company employees walked out in protest in Nazi Germany today over the fact Hitler authorized their use on German soil. One scientist on the protest lines was quoted as saying “we thought we were making weapons to kill the untermench outside our borders, using them on aryans is unconscionable”.

    (Yes I know slave labor was heavily used in V production which only makes Boston Dynamics employees bigger monsters)

    The day I first saw one of those doggy bots many years ago I said they will be used by police and armed forces. Fuck I hate being right sometimes.

    I still can’t see why this is such a big story. A month or so ago I said they couldn’t get half a dozen for $1.4M. Turns out they’re getting 3 or 4. No idea what they intend to do with them, but American adults outnumber them about a million to one. And some of us have shotguns.
