    this is rather dumb considering Israel is more ethnically diverse than any of it’s neighbors

    73.2% (about 7,208,000 people) are Jews, including about 503,000 living outside the self-defined borders of the State of Israel in the West Bank 21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) are Israeli citizens classified as Arab, some identifying as Palestinian, and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers “Arab”)[2] An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as “others”. This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christians other than Arabs and Armenians, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.[2][1]

    correction on that last sentence. mother’s want to save themselves because they don’t want to die. they are not making any calculations about their own fertility.

    this strategy doesn’t prove to be a major evolutionary disadvantage because the mothers are proven to be fertile so there is no evolutionary pressure to remove this trait but that’s an analysis a human scientist is making. not the quokka


  • mostly thingiverse. I’ll look at others if i can’t find it there but i rarely have to. it has the largest library ime. the search and discoverability ui takes some getting used to though

    i mainly print functional things. ex. i just got a dewalt planer and looked for models associated with it and found a dust collection attachment that will work with my vacuum and parts that allow me to wrap the cable to the planer itself

    some things i just design myself. i broke one of the arms on my sunglasses so i designed and printed a brace i could use with some super glue and heat shrink tubing to fix it.

    all this was just yesterday





  • the average consumer hates anything open source or not owned by corporations. they hate free stuff and would much rather pay for the opportunity for corporations to harvest their data and control their lives. this is possibly due to very successful psyops campaigns to induce trust in corporations, distrust in non-corporate produced software and services, and the idea that open-source stuff is just for geniuses or hackers and the layperson will never understand how to use it at best, or it will destroy your computer at worst. it’s something I’m beginning to learn.
