From an outsider's perspective, although the Republicans are clearly the most corrupt of the two parties, the Democrats are far from being the good guys.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Democrat politicians don't actually care about truth and justice either, they're just less bad than the Republicans are.

Tldr: vote Democrat, but don't kid yourself. Vote because they are the least worst option.

D&D with the classic Heroquest DM screen? Colour me intrigued...

When juries deliberate, they discuss their reasons for thinking this or that. Basically, by telling the jury to disregard something, the judge is saying that this shouldn't be included in the decision-making process.

Of course people can't just take things out of their heads, and of course the legal representatives take advantage of that fact.

Overhangs were the biggest issue I found. So much so that I moved back to a 0.4 after a month of faff trying to find settings that would compensate.

I use my printer mainly for minis, and figures that would print supportless on the 0.4 nozzle needed huge amounts of supports at 0.2 in order to print without missing chins etc.

That said, the level of detail that I could achieve was better, particularly on the hair, but not enough to compensate for all of the extra faff and wasted plastic.

Something to add to this.

The people protesting against racism are counter-protesters. They are showing up to protest against the far right who are in turn protesting against migrants.

In the past couple of days they have been out-numbering the far right protesters by at least an order of magnitude, and a lot of the expected riots have been averted.

At the very simplest, you can just overlap things in the slicer without Blender.

If you want to learn about Blender's Sculpt mode, you can just Google "Blender Sculpt mode tutorial". For convenience, try to use the most recent results, as the interface can be slightly different in older versions.

Sculpt mode effectively allows you to alter the models as if they were made of clay or plasticine.

A lot of the tutorials will be showing how to make things from scratch, but what's important is that you see how the tools work.

Once you have everything overlapping the way you want, you can join the using a Boolean operation. You'll want to use a "union" operation.

To avoid the gaps you can line them up with an overlap.

You can adjust the vertices of the model slightly to help facilitate this. The most natural-feeling way to do it in Blender is by using the Sculpt mode.

You can use a Boolean addition operation to then make the two models a single piece of geometry. Or not bother (if you are printing on FDM or at 100% infill in resin, it won't really hurt either way).

Does "World's Richest Man" count as a leader? Because I'm struggling to think of any negatives to him being suddenly substracted from the world.

Also, TIL that substracted is a valid, albeit obsolete, variant of subtract.

I mostly print stuff for DnD and wargaming, so I just run off a few 25mm bases - I can always use them!

I'm British, and AC/DC are Australian so... I guess you're right?

Edit (although I do kind of like AC/DC, so IDK)

This.

Alternatively, it might be that it's just an additional identical role, but company policy means they need to go through a new round of interviews.

NHS = National Health Service

It's what we have in the UK, and essentially means that all your health care is free.

Vasectomy = free. Having a baby in hospital = free. CAT scan = free. Insulin = free.

Admittedly, it's paid for in taxes, but at a small fraction of the cost of the American way of doing things.

I'm seeing a lot of international messages getting this wrong, so this is how you refer to the Prime Minister of the UK.

First, we normally refer to the PM just by name, like anyone else. So, "Keir Starmer" or "Mr Starmer".

"Prime Minister" is not used as a title like "President" is. He's not "Prime Minister Starmer". He's just "the Prime Minister" or "the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer".

Unusually, this new PM is also a knight. Of course, this has its own rules.

If you want to use this title, it's not quite as simple as replacing "Mr" with "Sir'. The first name is more important than the surname here. He's not "Sir Starmer". He's "Sir Keir Starmer" or "Sir Keir".

Hope it helps!
