The Energy-Price-Point of Digital Fabrication systems for building the tooling for Infrastructure Co-operatives has fallen through the floor over the last 25+ years.

I am a writer and I know how storytelling works, but...
sometimes I want my escapism real chill.
Thread addendum: @BillySmith casually tags excellent advice on the formation of maker spaces onto the end of the Weird Al Pinball Thread, in the same way you or I might toss a nugget of pure gold into a pile of dead skunks. Never change, Fedi.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO—Following a series of transphobic comments by the Harry Potter author, the nation’s top evangelical leaders announced Monday that J.K.
