I don't know if you heard anything about it, but it seems that Greece is in a chaotic situation.
Everything started 4 days ago. A 15(to 16)-year-old boy was killed by a police officer (he was actually shot). Witnesses claimed that the Police Officer took out his gun, when the boy started making fun of him (just fun), when the officers (within the inquiry) claimed that he was along with 3-4 more boys, who were kind of drunk and had been shooting out bottles on them. Within 8 hours maximum, everyone got in the streets of both the capitals' (Athens) and the sub-capital (Thessaloniki).
At first people were taking over the streets, trying to complain for such a thing, when some anarchic people showed up and started burning everything in their way.
In 2 days some of the most common streets in Athens are burnt, shops, banks, public buildings and ministry departments. The same goes to Thessaloniki, although the damage is most dealt within the downtown shops. Still, more than 100 shops are burnt, the christmas tree, which was supposed to decorate the main square of the city is burnt and all these within Christmas!
The thing i hate is that all those do such things in the memory of the dead boy, when they do not care about anyone else. They ruin everything and their excuse is the way the government rules. I ask you: The dead boy is supposed to be a fellow citizen. All those shops that also belong to fellow citizens are destroyed. What kind of "sympathy" to fellow citizens do those anarchic bitches claim to have?
Of course they took the chance to destroy everything. News no longer speak about the boy, they speak about the places burnt all over every some hours. The city is like in-war and the transportation is limited within daytime. We are all afraid to get off our homes (well, if we live downtown, cause other areas are not -fortunately- affected) and go out for a walk. The Aristotle's University has been closed for like 2 days and tomorrow it will be the 3rd. I have heard that the Maths's School is half-burnt.
Everyone in Greece is speaking of this. You turn on the TV, you watch this. You speak with a friend of yours, you talk about this. Honestly, i don't know when it will end, but it's one of the biggest mess ever and i bet it will be written in Greece's history. There are thoughts for the government to be taken down. The situation is extremily serious and everyone is trying to make up for the damage on the stores.
I want your thoughts on this. This nightmare seems infinite and although the country is not underdeveloped, things lead her towards that way. It's like all we had was enough and now this.
I know that the police officer was an a**hole but uh, is this the behaviour to make things up? They behave as if it was them who actually died. But everything is an excuse. They just use up the events to make sh*t. They all need some lesson; those people are mad, nothing more, nothing less. They believe that they have power, yes i can make my own bomb and throw it over, but this won't make me powerful...! They have to realise how weak they are and then act, if they can. I hate them.

Well, in a situation like that where someone is killed in such a manner (particularly when it's someone young, I would imagine), uproar would be expected, but going by what you've said, that's just gone way too far. Perhaps the vast majority of those people were just waiting for an excuse to have a go at authority?
Doesn't sound like something a sane person without a hatred towards the police/government would do... hopefully they will come to their senses soon, tearing Athens to bits won't bring the boy back, and I doubt it'll bring any consolation to the family either

I hate this kind of stuff. The last ~10 years were I live we've been having a nazi march once a year just because some guy was murdered. He became a martyr and now gives both the Nazis and the antis-Nazis a day without laws so they can break the law of freedom and speech, fight, throw rocks at police and destroy for millions of crows. So fucking stupid.

    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
