A dollar bill is exactly the same (roughly) always. Banning models of gun parts (or anything 3D printed, for that matter) is like trying to ban the patterns of dust in the wind. There are millions of permutations and ways to slice the problem.

Having never seriously looked into 3D printing and knowing essentially nothing about firearms, a few mostly-unserious questions come to mind:

1. Is there any value in 3D printing the inverse of the shapes one would need to use as a mold?

2. How many subdivisions of gun-shaped part I wonder are needed before the ultimate intended shape is obscured without impacting the functionality

3. Given 2, is there even any value in 1.


> slice the problem

Pun intended


This is a very smug post with very little substance.

I'd immediately chargeback any subsequent charges. That's what it's for. You have nobody to talk to and no other recourse (unless you hire a lawyer.)

Probably a great reminder for everyone not to park your domain in the same place you do everything else.

Also, why are you paying 18k for resources you aren't using?


What a weak argument against the “it’s just a tool” defense.


I think it's important to agree with you and point out the obvious, again, in this thread. The people behind Sage are responsible (or, shall I say, irresponsible.)

The attitude towards AI is much more mixed than the attitude towards guns, so it should be even easier to hammer this home.

Adam Binksmith, Zak Miller, and Shoshannah Tekofsky are _bad_ people who are intentionally doing something objectively malicious under the guise of charity.


Are they really much more complicated than a hybrid? Think RAV4 Hybrid. I’d much prefer a fully electric drivetrain with an electric generator to the joyless CVT.


If a shelf stable fuel like LP could be integrated into an EREV, I think that would be the perfect combo. All the dynamics of an EV with the extended range and easy fuel availability.

I’ve owned a M3P and MY, and I really want a truck, but it needs to be more capable than the electric offerings. An EREV truck would be fantastic.


What we really need is standard two way charging on these cars. Every home with an EV should have a backup battery built into the deal.


Why is eSIM related? I want to understand. To me, SIM cards always seemed ridiculous and pointless.


I can swap a physical SIM into as many devices as I want, without the involvement of the network. With eSim my provider gives me "permission" to swap it to a new device maximum 3 times per YEAR. This has been spoken about by cellphone reviewers in particular as a huge headache.

For another example, Mint Mobile now charges $3 per eSim to swap devices. So now you're paying for something that used to be free, and that is likely a preview of what we have to come.


i get what you're saying, but you understand that the network you're using isnt yours to use as you like right?

They put the network up, you pay to use it in the way they deem appropriate...

Dont like it? use a different network.


My cell company locks my physical sim to the phone it is plugged into.

If I move the sim, I have to go through similar bullshit as I would if I wanted to move an eSIM (attempts to upsell the plan, charge for the “service” of moving the sim, etc, etc.)

At this point, I don’t see any disadvantages for eSIM, since the backported the enshitification to physical sims.


Their reputation is absolutely shot. It's not just the P320 either, the XM7 and XM5 were also poor choices.


Yeah, I had at least a couple of standard issue Sig Sauer civilian equivalents on my wish list, and now I would never buy anything from them ever.


I had a 365 and traded it in. Wasn't even a good pistol, just small and light. Got a S&W CSX and it's fantastic.


P226 P365 are still excellent


Love my P365, but I'm not buying another product from Sig after the P320. I can't trust them to make a dangerous tool in a safe and reliable manner.
