That is fascinating stuff, using a resin that gets dissolved away but the heating process eliminates the gaps left by the resin. I wonder if this process could be done cheaply enough for small knife makers to have blades made in small runs.

The scientist in me is amazed but the knifemaking artist in me feels uncomfortable.

They made a 13 minute video but it never showed the thing actually doing anything.

A knife is a knife for most people. Depends on the price and if you want the magpul logo on it. How they make it is irrelevant to most people also. They're trying to hype up something that just needs their logo on it to sell.

Do you even know what's going on in the world of AI?

Doesn't sound like it.

1. Yes
2. You are mistaken
3. The link doesn't work.

The link worked perfectly after your whiny post.

If you can't figure something out like a simple URL, then any opinions you have on AI should be kept to yourself -- to avoid further embarrassment.

I know how links work, it just didn't work on the computer I clicked it on at the time I clicked it on.

Do you need to be a douche bag about everything? I hope you aren't like this in person, starting random pointless arguments with everyone you meet.  I asked a simple question of whether Ren would want to see an AI symphony and you rode in on your smug horse suggesting I don't know anything about AI. Your insinuation was baseless. It seems you are unaware about the ethical question of AI created art.

Would you care to revise your statement, or do you stand by the lie that it was the link, and not something else, that "doesn't work?"

You really want to nitpick for the win? Ok, it works now, but it didn't work at the time I clicked it. Maybe the website was down at that time. Happy? Still irrelevant though.

You said it didn't work.  Now you say it works.  How is pointing out your error "nit picking?"

Both can't be true.  Maybe next time change your declarative statement to a more qualified one, like, "Are you sure the link is good?  I had a problem with it," rather than stating it doesn't work.

You really can't handle being wrong, can you?  I would think you'd be very used to it by now.   :geekdanc:

Dude, he made a definitive statement, don't ruin it's future use cause I've been asking him for a while to have a stance so threads don't go on and on.

Declarative statements are great, even if they are wrong.  It's a starting point for an actual debate or discussion.

At least it temporarily avoids the quibbling -- until he starts looking for a way to avoid being wrong.  Then the endless arguing turns into another pissing match.

Nitpicking again. I said it didn't work when I tried it on one day and I said it worked when I tried it a different day. You of all people understand that servers can go down and then come back up. Stop making disingenuous arguments.

Maybe I would take your suggestion next time if you didn't come across with your high horse, dismissive attitude.

No, you changed what you said after i corrected you.  You said "The link doesn't work."  Period.  You have no integrity.

How convenient you presented that post instead of the later post when I stated it didn't work when I tried it to clarify. Don't talk to me about integrity when you start these dishonest arguments over nothing. You can't even address the main point of conversation I brought up and have to have a dumb argument about whether your link worked or not.

You're so dishonest.  No wonder you think it's okay to lie to Cops about transporting firearms rather than to simply follow the law to start with.

Or, the places to keep law doesn't apply to everyone as a professional courtesy might happen.

Yes.  It's difficult to take anyone seriously when the laws they are supposedly lecturing us on exclude that person.
