How's the 3d printing landscape for metal overall? I hear there have been made great strides in 3d printers that rely on sintering. Very affordable relatively speaking.

Any other methods that have gained traction?

Another thing you should note is even though The New York Times is "the newspaper of record" there are tons of things they get consistently wrong, and seldom ever retract an iota as far as I've seen.

You also have in the news industry what is acceptable fact. There are facts, which if any one party find them negative to anyone reported, simply won't be reported. This is why the ideologies of China (blocking or discrediting news) fit so well with the US right now - we're already basically doing this.

What you just said is totally acceptable as opinion. But claiming "they deliberately craft misleading and false stories" is not provable by your person, since you do not yourself work there. There are people who really believe their drivel is true. I don't claim to know why this is, but flat-earthers seem to exist, even today, just as a side example.

Do you have some personal insider knowledge to substantiate this with? I mean I have some pretty heavy personal bias about the Washington Post being pro Amazon, and I would totally understand it if it was. But even then, I can't make a claim that they are deliberately making false stories. That's a level of knowledge I can't claim to have. That's also potential libel on your part.

It's nice to say it's luck, sure, and make everyone feel like they have a fair chance. However, I'm pretty certain the ones that obsess and plan the most to get rich and squeeze every little bit out they can into their plans have the best chance. Some lazy slob without the same attention to detail and effort just isn't going to make it.

I stopped with Facebook because of spying and narcissism. I stopped with Twitter because of selective tweet promotion and targeting - you're effectively giving a group power over your life guiding you what is right to watch or be concerned about. I don't ever want any media or pseudo-media company doing that. Presently I search a list of different sites with totally different leanings and try my best to capture the truth without the slant.

None of it is easy though.

Also, if you haven't noticed, the Aztecs were historically very violent people. If you look at the people of middle america, it's no surprise they are still violent today.

This happens when you have societies that do not adequately punish violence. Societies that reward violence will most certainly produce more violence.

Keep up on Fish Oil Supplements. I forget where I read it, but there was a publication which attributed depression to living far from the coast. From there the idea circulated that a fish based diet would be beneficial. Omega3 fats are generally beneficial, but have as I have experienced acted as a mild anti-depressant.

Also, exercise. Do something outside of work that requires physical exertion, even if it's just walking.
