Make it out of balsa wood. That way it's biodegradable.

The only things in that range around these parts are going to be burnt out husks of a house with a cheery "fixer-upper" in the listing title...

Doesn't matter how similar it looks though.

The only way to tell is to open up both models and look at individual points of the 3d mesh. If their positions in 3d space match up to, say the hundred-thousandth of a decimal, then it is a copy.

But if the model was scaled or rotated or whatever, there would be no way to prove a case because there wouldn't be a match.

The same thing was done to prove games was lying about copying models from previous games when they claimed that it was too difficult to add all previous monsters into different games because their converter tool was giving them issues.

Did they say how they analyzed the models? Because looking at the silhouette and other similarities isn't enough to prove plagiarism when it comes to 3d models.

What you have to do is open up both the original and the suspected copy models and select a couple of similar vertices (the points that give the model geometry) and compare the position down to the decimal place. If they are even a little off, then it isn't a copy.

It's worse because they are a suicidal death cult.

They wish to bring about their version of the end of the world and are doing everything they can to make it happen. All the while, they are dragging the rest of the world down with them.

Didn't even have to be the US.

Israel has been known to threaten US politicians with financially backing their political opponents unless their Zionist line is toe'd.

God forbid Federal Highway Administration or the Department of Transportation actually work on removing distractions along highways....

Ah, yes on the first count at least, though that criteria wasn't on your bulleted list, I guess it was in the title.

That being said, UV breakdown might not be as concerning in the short term if the substance is removed fairly often. I wonder if a clear gelatin or glycerin layer would last long enough?

I've also seen resin-infused paper-like substrate layers of material like carbon fiber attempt to bypass the requirement of an FEP. Each print layer was a new sheet and once the print was done the un-cured material was blown away.

Technically, I believe Mercury fulfills those requirements.

Otherwise, maybe something like Glucose?

There are a few substance here that meet that density: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/liquids-densities-d_743.html

But, as far as resistance to UV and immiscability with UV resin, testing would be required, as I'm assuming you intend to replace the FEP film layer with a dense liquid.

Yeah, I've found that short video content is too easy to get lost in.

It's even worse than doom-scrolling other types of social media feeds as far as pure wastes of time go.

This game is pretty much an homage to Diablo I with more respect for your time than a lot of rogue-lites.

I'm only a about mid-game, but I know I can pick it up if I know how much time I can give it, since it'll let you slice up a dungeon run into neat little bite-sized chunks.

Honestly, if I'm seeing more than say two or three currencies or kinds of bits to keep track of, it's a no for me. I don't care how much I'm in love with the concept.

Mainly because I don't have the available real estate at my place to break out every other War & Peace- worth of board game, but especially if it looks like the setup time is will take longer than playing an actual game.
