On Tuesday, November 23rd 2010, North Korea launched an attack on South Korea. North Korea fired about 100 artillery rounds at Yeonpyeong Island, injuring 15 people, and killing two South Korean Marines. South Korea declared that the surprise attack was "indisputable armed provocation against the Republic of Korea. Making matters worse, it even indiscriminately fired against civilians. Such actions will never be tolerated".

After North Korean strike, South Korean leader threatens 'retaliation'

Hours after North Korea's deadly artillery attacks Tuesday, South Korea's president said "enormous retaliation" is needed to stop Pyongyang's incitement, but international diplomats urgently appealed for restraint.

Asians vs. Asians... Isn't it genocide?

Frankly, why start a war so suddenly? And what is subject of this war?

EDIT: wait if America is supporting north korea and china south korea, wouln't another WWI treaty/pact situation occur?

A statement from the North said it was merely "reacting to the military provocation of the puppet group with a prompt powerful physical strike," and accused Seoul of starting the skirmish with its "reckless military provocation as firing dozens of shells inside the territorial waters of the" North.

The exchange represents a sharp escalation of the skirmishes that flare up along the disputed border from time to time. It also comes amid high tensions over the North's apparent progress in its quest for nuclear weapons — Pyongyang claims it has a new uranium enrichment facility — and six weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il anointed his youngest son, Kim Jong Un, as the heir apparent.

I only lurk here, I don't post here anymore, but I gotta say this.

People chill. "Declares war" is just an exaggeration by this news group for more views, officially, the Korean war never ended, all this time they were at war. And NK was doing stunts like this all the time. NK always takes a shit on SK, SK threatens to do something back, but doesn't, all of the countries "condemn" NK's actions, but nothing really happens. This time it is a bit more serious tho, even India fortified their borders with China, in case shit hits the fan. But China is not likely to support NK even if a war breaks out, because that would mean a war with USA, fall of both economies and probably a nuclear holocaust, but China is not an idiot, so there's nothing to fear of.

It's quite historic of those two countries to be at war. Tensions have been high since the cold war and North Korea is continually trying to provoke South Korea, yet walk their way out blaming South Korea.

I'm honestly suprised they've been at relative peace for so long.

They should just settle it over a nice long game of Starcraft 2.

Fixed the thread title btw.

does anybody support north korea? even china is against them nw, at least officially, and hell i always thought china is the bad guys. i doubt north korea would practically have a chance to start a war alone still having at least a chance of success in view. the USA got about 30000 soldiers in south korea as the BBC information said and i believe europe would support them also.

maybe thats the point. maybe they are losing supporters and want to act now before they lose all support, and have everyone side with the south against them.

Being Korean, I am pretty pissed but I've found certain facts that intrigue me.

1) Nov., 2009 Allegedly, South Korea fires upon (and sets fire to) a North Korean ship that allegedly wandering into a South Korean shipping lane.
2) May 2010, North Korea sinks a South Korean ship allegedly in retaliation for the Nov. 2009 tragedy.
2) South Korea starts maneuvers in that area which includes shelling, sabre-rattling, etc.
3) North Korea asks them to stop.
4) South Korea ignores North Korea's request.
5) North Korea shells South Korea.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
