Google popular 3D printing file-sharing sites. They may have paid sections.

Hm, i am not sure if 3d printing currently works well for high-polygon models; this one has 140.000 vertices

@Thorgalaeg : poser sucks for modeling it is basically meant for animation of breathing stuff.

It works for a million of vertices if needed. It all Depends on the Slicer.

​

Poser cant do modeling, period. It is not intended for that. It is a program for amateurs so they can pose, animate, morph and render premade ad-hoc commercial figures.The props and figures to be used in Poser is that you can sell and buy on Renderosity. Of course such items are modeled in real modeling programs as Maya, 3ds, Blender, Zbrush etc. ​

I am glad you didnt mention bryce as part of the real modeling programs, cause bryce sucks incredibly as well

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Bryce is not a modeling program either. It is Poser for landscapes.

Yes. It is also used as poser for non- breathing stuff, eg tanks, planes etc.

How do people even fall for those phone scams asking for gift cards? I know why the scammers ask for them, but do the victims really think that the IRS or power company really, really, really wants to listen to iTunes that badly?

Because technology makes robo scamming insanely cheap to do so even if one in a million hit it's profitable.

that and there's a lot of stupid people out there.

@Arakhor - You mentioning "mulled wine" in VMQNWTOT 35 reminded me of this

"We serve hard drinks for men who wanna get drunk fast!!" classic

@aimeeandbeatles: The people who are targeted are usually the elderly and immigrants/refugees, especially with the CRA scam. When they think it's the government wanting money, some people panic and will do whatever they're told so they don't get in trouble.

 

[Kyriakos]

Well, if you have $35 dollars to spare, you can buy the sept ^_^

It's A Wonderful Life is a great film, but I'm not sure why you think that mulled wine is a funny concept. In a cold, dark country, of course people are going to serve hot drinks where possible, which meant hot alcohol in days gone past.

No no no, you miss my point. What's funny is not the concept of mulled wine, or the fact that Clarence wants it, especially since as he says "it's been so long" since he had a drink and we know he is from the 1600-1700s, based on his statement later in the scene. It made perfect sense that he'd want something nostalgic, festive, seasonal and fancy, given the time of year and the situation.

What's hilarious is him trying to order it in that particular venue, a dive bar, from an obviously annoyed and foul tempered barkeeper, followed by the barkeeper's predictably gruff and outraged reaction... as if to say "Dude look around and see where you're at... order a regular effing drink like everybody else"

I recently bought some coffee that was marked as kosher-approved. Is there a way for coffee not to be kosher?

 

[Mouthwash]

How would the law view extorting money from animal rights fanatics by threatening to otherwise slaughter some of your (legally owned) animals? Or a devout Hindu? Even if religions had some kind of special legal protection for their sacred artifacts, they could hardly lay claim to every living creature.

I recently bought some coffee that was marked as kosher-approved. Is there a way for coffee not to be kosher?

Did it say kosher for Passover, or just kosher?

I suppose that if it was processed in the same plant as non-kosher products without any sort of ritual purification in between then it might not qualify as kosher.

extorting money

This is a crime.

 

[Traitorfish]

Did it say kosher for Passover, or just kosher?

Just "kosher". I suppose it's possible that some additives or flavourings might render a coffee non-Passover-friendly, and this is just there to confirms this one is good all year?

 

[Gori the Grey]

A lot of products boast on their packaging about things that were never in question in the first place. If all coffees are intrinsically kosher, but this brand can get you to second-guess that one sitting next to it that never bothered to call attention to its kosher status, maybe you'll by this brand rather than that. I've seen "gluten-free" products where the whole class of product just can't have gluten in it in the first place.
