​​​​​​​Yes. They should not be out of the kitchen, so it is 100% their fault for being raped.

But if they can't leave the kitchen, how can do they do the rest of the housework?

I'm pretty sure rape is not considered to be a "crime of opportunity"

I want to buy a 3D printer.

Want to spend around $300, DIY assembly required is fine, actually preferred. Advice? So far I have been thinking of an aluminum prusa i3 clone of some sort.

@gesso?



My positive battery terminal clamp is no longer tight around the post of the battery when screwed all the way down. Right now I have a copper shim in there that makes about 320° of contact between the post and clamp but that is obviously not a long term solution. What is the "correct" way to fix this?

Well yeah, that is the goal here but all I've seen are shitty bolt on ones. There has to be a better way.

Both, and they feel like cheap crap. Rike dis:



Does not inspire confidence and do not feel/look like a permanent solution.

I probably need to buy somthing like this:



But then I'd need some sort of big *** monster crimper to get it onto the wire. I'd prefer not not to buy a $75 tool to crimp down a $3 terminal for a one shot job. I was hoping someone knew of something in between the two.

Go with the bolt on, much safer than screwing around with crimping, unless you solder it.

I was under the impression that if I used solder on anything in my car, other than the megasquirt, that all the wires would shatter and the car would explode and never run again. Or something like that. I do have a 200w soldering iron though...

Buy one of these two, depending upon gauge and quantity of wire:
