• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    New KMS Tools location opening this fall in Saskatoon

    I was thinking the same. On their website they are hiring for all positions including sales associates and sales desk. I assume associates work the floor where items are on display but not necessarily. I would like to see KMS succeed so hopefully they will have a plan for dealing with the...

    New KMS Tools location opening this fall in Saskatoon

    Pretty much the same except I go to the tower for dental appointments. Just read a story about a local citizen who is fed-up with watching people walk out of grocery stores loaded up with stolen items and nobody tries to stop them. Can happen anywhere but where KMS plans on setting-up shop is...

    Really ?

    Guess ad in Vogue magazine sparks controversy with its models AI generated models in ads? How can they replace human models? Oh sure, there's a little fakery in ads and a few minor problems in the industry. Like the photo editing, lighting effects, make-up, fake nails, fake eyelashes, fake...

    New KMS Tools location opening this fall in Saskatoon

    Details link Good news is the store opening in Saskatoon. Bad news is the location - 105 Avenue F South. Whomever scouted this location must not be familiar with the area. I am assuming the previous tenant, Giant Tiger, didn't close up shop because of poor sales.

    See, it's working already. So here I go, into The Matrix... I think that is super cool, too. I tried to follow setting up 2 AVR128DA48 Curiosity Nanos for a project. Couldn't get it to work. Spent hours going over it and found something in the project that needed clarification. I submitted...

    I know that You know that But if "they" wanted to create the perfect seductress, the master manipulator, that's how to do it. Maybe that's the intentional/unintentional end - we all become manipulated by our digital selves into becoming docile slugs. Let Jesus AI take the wheel. Take a moment...

    Hmmm... That's exactly what an AI would want us to think before taking over the world.

    Exactly what I thought in my post: "The answer is what is what is currently going on in the world already except with humans at the wheel." With several developments of AI currently in the works, humankind's natural competitiveness, and the likelihood that it will be "weaponized" I think it...

    Anyone using ChatGTP?

    Occasionally I like to listen to podcasts where people who work in the AI world discuss the future of this technology. Some people are very optimistic while others are very much the opposite. The podcast I watched today had a guest who is 99.99% certain that AI will be our undoing as a...

    Sounds like more of that "snobby French food" talk. It's all just hollow pasta.

    Tripe I had that a local restaurant. It was an experience. And does this list include "smoked" oysters? Even Sushi with wasabi? Love it all. Wasabi so potent you can momentarily experience the 4th dimension...and clear up your sinuses.
