There's a difference between pausing for a few weeks and letting four years elapse between seasons.

And once more I find myself wondering if the "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" faux horror movie trailer still exists somewhere in the depths of YouTube. (I don't care enough to go looking for it, though.)

They don't want to pay the prices required to make it practical to mine and refine these substances in quantity in a developed country that will at least try to deal with the environmental consequences.

Has this person ever seen what a news comments section with a "real names required" rule looks like? They're just as much cesspools as anywhere else. People don't care whether their names are attached to their on-line comments.

Ars Technica's take is probably more pertinent to the title. Including the little mini-quiz at the top.

Provided that the approriate drivers and binary firmware blobs for the new card are already on your system (and with a user-friendly distro like Mint, they should be), I'd expect you to be able just to plug in and go. The only extra hoops I had to jump through while sidegrading from a 1050 to an AMD card of the same era were due to my having a hand-configured kernel and X setup with no AMD drivers.

There are a few directions you could go in to have the print flex: print from flexible material (although I'm not sure that even the softest grade of Ninjaflex would be flexible enough), or, as someone has already suggested, create a mold for silicone casting. Or, in the worst case, modify one of those sectioned print-in-place flexible snake models, although the result won't be as realistic.

I was hesitating to suggest this, but do you think you could usefully modify a realistic dildo model? Cults3D probably has a few—I think they're the only major repository with a sex toy section.

Urological models don't seem to be common (you can get bones, hearts, and a few other organs from the US NIH, though). However, one of the things I did turn up in a quick web search was several mentions of software that can be used to turn medical imaging data (MRI, possibly others) into models for printing. It's usually used for setting up individualized treatment plans. Maybe what you need is a former patient who's had the appropriate regions scanned and might be willing to release the data to you for such a purpose.

If you can figure out which script is responsible for the pop-up, it's usually possible to block it by, for instance, feeding its URL to your ad blocker. Just takes a bit of patience.

"I don't agree" -> "the content of this comment is false, because it doesn't agree with what I believe to be true" -> "this comment provides no value, because its content is lies". There's no way you can prevent that chain of reasoning, especially since it's largely unconscious for most people.

Am I the only one who's suspicious because everyone's favourite sparkly eunuch and the emperor's brother are never seen in the same place? 🤨

For something this vital, there really should be a breaking-in period where they run the new and old systems in parallel and scrutinize every difference. Of course, that never happens, because money.
