On that third point, my first printer was a delta kossel, and it was just way too complicated for someone's first printer. I switched to a Tevo Tornado which is a pretty bog standard xyz printer similar to an ender3 or cr-10, and it was just a lot simpler working on it, and it tended to stay good when I wasn't working on it, unlike the delta where you'd spent an hour tweaking and calibrating to get a single good print and when you go back to print a day or two later you'd have to do it all over again, my printer is solid enough that I can leave it alone for quite a bit and with a bit of bed leveling just start printing again.
Would I suggest a Tornado, ender3, or CR-10? Of course not. Those models are 10 years old at this point and the field has moved on. Look at trustworthy reviews of something much newer and you'll have 10 years of R&D you'll benefit from.
Oh, and if you can, try to stay in free and open source ecosystems. One of the things is that if you learn a tool like tinkercad which is free and online, it can go down (and almost did a few years back). If you learn a tool like Fusion360 that is commercial with a free option, then they can mess with that free option at any time and have. Even if you pay for your software, Autodesk has absolutely taken software you paid thousands of dollars for and shut down the activation servers when the software got too old, and suddenly you don't have access to your servers anymore. Also you'll want to be thinking this way for slicers and device firmware, since they might need updates at some point and you don't want to be reliant on a vendor who may not even exist for some critical new feature that changes everything.

No, I must definitely listen to these moral exemplars on who to vote for.

Is this why autocorrect always thinks I'm writing "duck"?
(Funny thing is it actually autocorrected to the other word while I was writing the joke on my phone lmfao)

ngl, for my morning piss it's probably gonna be all of the above for at least a moment.
There's far right loonies who want to ban books from elementary school libraries just because they're inappropriate.
Nay, I say. A pox on thee.
Obviously every book in the world should be in kindergartener's libraries. Elementary school libraries should be like the library of Alexandria except not burned to the ground, and filled with books that are no doubt totally acceptable.
Penthouse? If it's good enough for truck stop magazine racks it's good enough for a kindergartener.
Hustler? They should hustle on those printing presses because kindergarteners should have every back issue!
Mein Kampf? More like "mein kindergartener should read that"! After all, you know who wouldn't let a kindergartener read mein kampf? Hitler. Since he loved censorship.
Forget the versions of Mark Twain's books that remove racial slurs, we need to publish versions that are nothing but racial slurs or the bigots have already won!
The idea that young children should have what they see regulated in any way, why it's unAmerican. What's that, you say? I'm Canadian? Well of course, I don't want any of this in *my* kids libraries. But you, you should definitely get on that. It's a very principled stance for you to take.

Carbon or no, we need to be resilient to climate changes. We can't assume the current climate realities will remain true because as you said we've seen it change a lot just within a short time of human history. The great depression was caused in part by a deceptive change in climate in the southwest that led to an economic and ecological catastrophe called the dust bowl occurred when the climate suddenly changed back. Within modern history a volcano erupted that was so powerful it led to something called "the year winter never ended" because so much dust was kicked up it blotted out the sun.
Hey guys, I figured it out. The Chinese are telling their investors they need to "work harder" but these American companies aren't good with accents so they hear "woke harder".
Seen it a million times, could happen to any of us.

One of the most important lessons I've learned in the past few years is that liberalism is a privilege you can only give to a moral people. To push liberalism while tearing down morality is to destroy liberalism. I think that's a feature of such people's plans, not a bug. They want dictatorship so they engineer the need for one.
Looks like that girl lost an arm so he's performing CPR badly. I'd cry too, she's probably not gonna make it.

AI fails to capture the essence of Trudeau, but the video is better than any actual Trudeau clip or Colbert clip from the past 15 years.

I've started to hear rumors that the tide of woke might be turning, and the successes of movies that don't inject politics into stories that don't need them is actually due to a decision made a while back to start turning the ship at companies like Disney.
Of course, you can't turn a battleship like a speedboat, it takes a long time for these things to play out assuming it's even happening, so nobody should expect things to become ok again tomorrow. But I could believe it.
Some people think that companies will be too drawn into the DEI money such as cheap loans to possibly change, but let me ask you a question: As a business, would you rather have loans, or paying customers?
One danger is that slow processes tend to overshoot. The ideal for customers would be a chill agnosticism to politics rather than picking one side or another to any extreme. There's a lot that everyone can agree on so we don't need to focus every second in our escapism over the things we might disagree with.
It used to be that you obviously had friends you disagreed with politically but it wasn't the main focus of life. Two people can have diametrically opposed views on something like transgender washrooms, but if they're talking about the harmonics at the beginning of Roundabout by Yes and bonding over that, it turns out the bathroom habits of 0.1% of the population barely even come up. It's sort of narcissistic for anyone to think that their pet issue has to be brought into every single conversation at all times.

Wait a minute, my posts are usually 15,000 characters long, and none of these are that long. I'm probably okay

She can finally answer that question everyone is asking: "What would you do if you were in charge of the border?"

Canadians don't vote parties in, they vote parties out. And when you're out, it's usually so hard your grandkids feel it.
In Ontario, the Liberals thought they were going to rule forever. It's been I think 3 elections and they aren't even an official political party yet.
Chairman Xi can't cheat enough to make up that amount of fail.
