My saw has a built-in clamp, but it’s fairly cheap. I’d feel better using a proper clamp for sure.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is the modern day equivalent to asbestos in 1960?
2·3 hours agoMost carbon fiber you might see in the world is sealed with resin. But under that resin, it’s just sheets of woven or non-carbon fiber fabric. And those fibers are just nanometers thick and can easily puncture cell walls the same way as asbestos.

5·4 hours agoThere are bioplastics that are actually compostable and biodegradable, and I’m sure with enough research we could develop others with better properties.
But why would we research a way to make the world a better place when we can just pull oil out of the ground and burn it and make forever chemicals out of it instead?

7·4 hours agoTeflon itself is technically “fine” if you ignore that it’s a forever chemical on its own. The chemicals used in the manufacturing, and the chemicals used to make a notoriously non-stick material stick to things are the big issues.
But like the other commenter said, even Teflon, despite its hydrophobic and non-stick properties, eventually wears out and spreads micro particles everywhere.
I saw this picture and thought to myself there’s no way that’s what she looks like now.
This picture is from 2008, which is not a criticism, just a reminder that Avril Lavigne is 41 years old now and it makes me feel old.

What does that have to do with 3d printing?This reads like just another slop article, repeating a bunch of platitudes in different ways. Sure it has some facts, but could have been way shorter and more concise, or the same length and much more informative.

Technology@lemmy.ml•I wore Meta’s smartglasses for a month – and it left me feeling like a creep
8·8 hours agoI feel like a month is a really long time to do something like this that makes you feel uncomfortable and creepy. And yet there are people who won’t feel any awkwardness and who will gladly wear these glasses and interact with others as if they weren’t.

7·1 day agoI think qbittorrent might be able to do it. You can choose your network interface, but I don’t know if it will let you put /dev/null in that box.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Disney Is Reportedly Eyeing a Full Acquisition of Fortnite Creator, Epic Games, For $1.5 BillionEnglish
7·1 day agoYeah, Fortnite makes a billion a year. I can’t imagine the entire company would sell for so little.
Just get a swastika tattoo right next to it so that people can see the difference between the two.
In the movie it was a nuclear explosion made to look like Dr Manhattan caused it. In the comic book, it was an alien invasion that brought humanity together.
The TV series follows the comic’s premise and ignores the events of the movie.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•If I have a PC with Windows on it, how can I parallel install Linux so I can start playing around with that?
3·3 days agoLike another commenter said, look into Ventoy. You install it on a USB stick, and then you can just copy over ISOs of different distros to try out and choose which one to run at boot time. AFAIK all Linux distros have a Live option to run the OS off a USB without installing it to your hard drive.

It’s rated Gold on ProtonDB, which means it might require tweaks but should work perfectly fine. It’s even playable on Steam Deck.
Knee-jerk reactionaries
“Had to happen” surely.
Fortnite is still printing money. On its own, it’s enough to sustain the company, so they very much didn’t “have to” lay off any employees to remain profitable.
Maybe it’s all legendary employees now














I believe my saw is locked to 5000 rpm.
I know that chop saws and cold saws usually used for metal run a lot slower, but you can buy metal-cutting blades for regular circular saws. I understand that I would have to move very slowly compared to cutting wood, but I can’t slow down the blade itself.
