3D printing is good for prototyping/one offs (eg wheelchair for a tiny dog with gammy legs), but I wouldn't try to become an assembly line with one, unless you're making DIY kits for nerds who appreciate printed parts and have plenty of margin in other components. The time/fuck around/misprints are pretty stressful - I was a 3D printer hub online for a bit, and got out of that after a Daft Punk helmet consumed a few days for $70. The hardest part would be scaling up the operation, and moulds aren't particularly cheap, but do pay for themselves if you can sell huge numbers. I'm not shitting on your plan - someone has to make everything that we consume, and it's a good idea - I'm just giving you information that might be useful.

You can shorten time to 'dream mode' by supplementing 5HTP. In theory, plentiful 5HTP allows your brain to reach peak serotonin stores faster. No idea if that theory is correct, but the result is, for me at least. Man I've had some hyper-detailed dreams on 5HTP. In one, I designed a skyscraper. It had a hollow inside, like a donut - designed in that way to allow a counterweight in the middle to make it stable during quakes, and allow air to blow 'through' it and into the middle of the donut, up and out - meaning it was impervious to high winds. It wasn't just a facade of a skyscraper - like the mental rough outline of one - I knew precise detailed construction for the entire thing, all at once. https://www.chemistwarehouse.co.nz/b...mg-60-capsules Fun trial for a bit of a trip - however if you are on serotonergic meds gotta take care.

Assuming all figures are just guesses:
50 thimbles from a 1kg roll (@ 20g including supports and base layer) $25 for a 1kg roll of ABS 15-20 minutes printing per thimble Call it 2 days work (16 hours) to print 50 of them with loading, removing, delay between jobs because you got bored, etc. Materials alone might be 50c, without power + printer costs. If you can sell them for $1 each, you've "doubled your money" in two days (woo hoo!), but you've made $25 in total for 16 hours work (oh what?). Then consider tax + expenses, and you're effectively running a charity. That's where scale of injection moulding comes in, because you can't make it print any faster. Clothes pegs are manufactured and sold for a profit, and they're sold cheaper than medical items, so there has to be a way to do it - no normal person is 3D printing their own clothes pegs, for good reason.

If you put all living humans into a blender and made human goo, then formed into a sphere/meatball, you would end up a big ball of goo just under 1km across (diameter). Assumptions are that humans have a density of 985kg/m3, and the average human weighs 62kg.

Rang someone that was sending us spam today and asked for the person who's name was at the top of the email. Asked him where they collect the emails from and he plainly stated that he collects them from the internet and that ours must have been publicly listed.
I put it to him that listing an email address is not an invitation for unsolicited spam but he simply didn't get it. Off to the DIA + spamcop + our spam filter provider + multiple service providers goes your email!

my salary went up 8% in january and effective july it goes up another 12%
i was putting 30%(gross) in to kiwisaver, guess i will nudge it closer to 40%(gross) i dont really know what else to do with it. |

Luck you.
Unless you're thinking to draw down kiwi saver for a house in future don't put more in than you have to. Put it into something you control and can draw down on if needed some rainy day. Heck. Even if you lack the motivation to learn to pick your own shares. Most providers also offer private managed fund where you can access your fund as you wish. Without needing to jump through hoops. Also means you could access those funds to retire early... Which kiwisaver doesn't allow.

I might well be dumb (and not someone to take financial advice from) but it's one of the reasons I have held off moving employers on a whim. I'm not in Kiwi Saver, but have funds in an alternate scheme - without the fish hooks. As far as I am aware, as soon as I get a job elsewhere, I am compelled to join the minimum and have that locked away until I am 65 (assuming I make it!). Fully intend to win Lotto before then and retire early. |

Once you are automatically enrolled you can opt out so don't let that stop you getting a new job. https://www.ird.govt.nz/kiwisaver/ki...t-of-kiwisaver
Odds are that you will live to 65 and well beyond so its a no brainer to stay in and at least put in the minimum 3% and collect the free 3% from your employer and the annual government contribution. Then put anything else into a fund that you can access when needed. |

US inflation data for May coming in red hot: 8.6% increase year-on-year (the largest 12-month increase since 1981). Food index at 10.1%. Troubled times ahead.

I'm not sure the actual reality, but I've heard a lot about large businesses making record profits during this period of inflation.
Is inflation at least in part due to the efforts of those with money to claw back the value they've lost due to the inevitable devaluing of currency that occurs when its handed out freely? The payments being a redistribution of wealth to keep vulnerable people afloat during a time of crisis, which at least in New Zealand has worked to a degree. We were able to stop working for unprecedented periods which allowed us to avoid the worst of the pandemic before we had some means to mitigate it. Every time I see this graph I am grateful we managed to avoid a widespread outbreak before the bulk of the population was vaccinated.

Its not a redistribution of wealth, quite the opposite. The money was created by the central bank (not taken off the wealthy) and handed out to businesses (not to individuals). It was a money scramble and every business hand their hand out. It turns out that a lot of businesses didn't actually need the cash, some gave it back but most just kept it. The money has all ended up with the wealthy (if it wasn't already) and guess what, everyone has to pay it back.

I'm sceptical businesses got more money while people were at home not working than if there was no disruption to business.

They were at home working. In the meantime 53 billion was handed out.
53 billion = nz super fund. |

What? That's not what happened. Companies with staff who were still working didn't get government money.
Sure, some companies took the money then didn't pass it onto their non-working employees, but the money mostly went to people who couldn't work.
