Nah, the sex toy parties were their own thing.

And WaPo at least mentions this fact when they report on Amazon or Bezos.

3D printers can move very fast. They typically don't because it causes all kinds of deformations in the print. Mostly the issues are in acceleration, decelaration, cornering, and controlling the heat snd flow of melting filament.

I don't know whether or not the accelerometer thing can be done in real time, or if there would be any benefit.

Check out the 2-minute Benchy for an example of how fast a 3D printer can get. This is a test print that typically should take about 45 minutes to an hour at very basic settings.

But also note the quality of the end product. It looks pretty awful. If we could print accurately at even remotely similar speeds, it would be fantastic.

When it comes to Israel, they have very little incentive in changing their ways when the US refuses to join the rest of the world in condemning them.

Still, there are 124 countries that made it clear that they think what Israel is doing is wrong.

Some games are also just well-optimized. Definitely more of a gaming GPU, but when I had a 1070Ti in my rig, I could run Doom 2016 at 4k at well over 60fps

The UN is a diplomatic organization. It is a forum to discuss things and literally has no actual means to enforce anything. Its goal is not enforcement, it's to discuss.

They did that to Hezbollah in Lebanon, not to Palestinians.

Apparently they actually installed explosives into the pagers themselves.

According to the article:

But a former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the pagers would have likely been packed with between 10g and 20g of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.

I don't know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something's fucky. I can't imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.

Israel's doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can't see how this one would be their fault.

Because the insurance company already paid them way more than it's really worth. And if the insurance company has agreed to pay that much, it's because they're making more than enough profit off their "service" to everyone that they can afford to pay it.

If your medicine used to cost $60 and now costs $5000 thst's because the insurance company knows they can get that money from its customers.

According to your own link, the USA is not even in the top 10, which are actually all in Europe.
