Can someone repost that gif of the motorcycle crash where the one guy dodged 4 bikes and it was caught in slow Mo?

Not a picture (sorry), but I believe the letter exchange between the Zaporozhian Cossacks and the Sultan of Turkey has been mentioned itt before.
Letters Live has just posed a video of the letters being read by Olivia Coleman and Adrian Edmondson, and it's wonderful.

"gently caress thy mother" has always been my favorite part of that letter. They basically use it to conclude every paragraph of insults. An insult that stands the test of time!

I've watched that clip at least a couple dozen times and still don't understand. Is he abusing the flexibility of the katana's blade so that he can quickly unsheathe it a little bent? It looks like he hits a button on the hilt to make that poo poo pop out like a lightsaber :psyduck:

I assume the sheath must have a slot in the side that goes most of the way down in order to make that draw possible at all

I mean you can clearly see he pulls the sheath back a good deal while he pulls the sword the other way a good deal.

I think that's also not quite a full length katana, looks a bit shorter than they sometimes are.

Not that they have strict lengths but it would be harder with a longer sword.

Can the printer fix that sole after it wears down a bit or would they need to repeat the whole thing once every few months?

In this particular instance, given that we're talking about a kid's shoe, I'd dare say she'd outgrow the shoes before that became an issue. For adult shoes, I've no idea.

Printing directly on the worn riser will be pretty difficult since it's not a flat shape, but I assume that you can print a very thin patch to match the wear and then bond it to the sole.

Snowglobe of Doom

sucks to be right
It'd take a trivially small amount of time & effort to just print the entire riser again, just pop the old one off and glue the newly printed one in place and you're good to go

MOM WAS RIGHT
He has the sword gripped up by the hilt, then he's pulling the sheath back pretty far quickly, taking a half-step back as he draws.



All those little bits add up to a huge amount of space to draw and counter.

If you watch it frame by frame you can see the sheath being moved quite a bit.

Yeah, OP says "pink were last year's" so you can see the amount of wear they get and how they hold up

Anyway I'm just impressed with the print quality - printing with TPE is a bitch and most prints I've tried with it went wrong (as compared to ABS/PLA).

That is a real treatment.

The short leg can be surgically lengthened, the long leg can be surgically shortened, or, in a growing child, the long leg’s growth can be retarded so that the other leg catches up.

Home 3D printers that can do that are expensive and the refill carts demand the sacrifice of a drifter to get the necessary biomass.

Ok that's cool as hell. My mom had a leg that was about 6" shorter than her other one, but that was due to a car crash that basically crushed most of her bones in that leg. She was always complaining that her shoes cost about 100-150$ for a pair of regular sneakers and more for nice shoes. Also there was only one place in about a 100 mile radius that was able to make the shoes she needed. If I could have just 3D printed risers for her, she would have been so excited.
