  • I’d go even one step further, which is to say he’s even dumber and more petty than you’re even giving him credit for.

    He thinks expanding the physical size of a nation is a metric for success. Greenland is relatively large, (and he thinks it’s larger than it really is because he can not comprehend the reality of a Mercator projection). He knows there’s only a few tens of thousands of people there. Seems like an easy grab for a big plot of land.

    He wants golden statues of himself in Gaza. He thinks the 49th parallel is an arbitrary line. The Panama canal is one of 4 presitegeous global pieces of infrastructure that his dementia addled brain can even recall.

    He want big. He want thing people know. He want golden statue. He like 4 year old. He mad.

    Trying to ascribe any meaning beyond that to his actions is like when people anthrpomorphise an insect as being embarrassed. We’re projecting meaning for which there just isn’t evidence to support, where there are simpler explanations to be had.

    He is profoundly insecure, profoundly stupid, and profoundly petty. This provides sufficient explanation for everything he’s ever done.












  • I’d thicken the bottom, and then have the interface have some pegs/holes to fit together like a puzzle. If you’re printing in that orientation the pegs should be unlikely to shear off. Then, lots of super glue and sand it down. As others have said, a lip underneath the interface would give you more surface for super glue as well.

    Because it’s going in your fridge, there will be inevitable spills that need cleaning. So I’d want to minimize the seam and complexity on the interior of the container.







  • I think what people don’t understand is how incredibly petty Canadians can be.

    The Canadian population will accept things getting 25% worse for themselves personally if it means things get 5% worse for the people that inflicted it. With these terriffs, there is an asymmetry of effect… But there is also an asymmetry in the amount of pain that can be stomached by the populations as well.

    If the two countries find themselves dragged into an “economic winter”, there is one population significantly more familiar and comfortable with the idea of riding out the winter.
