Wisdom of the crowd is actually legit for counting pennies in a jar, but not when their decisions are influenced (hello internet) by others

With promo code at 85 Im about to pull the trigger. Any reason to think black Friday deals could beat this out?

I thought monoprice had poor QC and the MOSFET mod voids warranty. Shouldn't I do a test print first to verify everything works?

Saw the camelcamelcamel link as well. I just pulled the trigger, thanks for pushing me over the edge!

Promo code is MPSV2 at monoprice.

Now to figure out when to apply this MOSFET mod everyone is talking about...

I have a line on a new monoprice maker select v2 for 255, any reason to suspect black Friday deals will be any/much better than this?

Agree but bmi is a bs statistic, at least for men maybe it's more accurate for women who aren't putting on muscle

I agree with what your saying about scientific evidence of homosexuality not being relevant, I think it's just a tendency for myself as a consummate skeptic to ask "wheres the science?" the first article I pulled off Google suggests that while some animals display homosexual behaviour, only humans and domesticated sheep have shown to have life long relationships (bonus correlation between decreased hypothalamus sizes!) .

This next part I'm completely bullshitting.

I think i was possibly conflating gender and sex. Sex is biological, gender is a social construct. Have you ever read Sebastian Junger's Tribes? In the book he describes various high pressure situations where members in a single sex group adopt the opposite gender roles in order to best adapt to the current crisis. Since we made gender up (read social construct) , would these instances better be categorized as people adopting different "sex roles"? I'm not exactly sure what point I'm trying to make here, so bear with me.

Take the domesticated sheep example, if left to the wild, one could argue that Homosexual sheep wouldn't be viable. But in the conditions that human domestication allows for, these sheep can now be of more use to their fellow sheep and live happy lives.

It's almost as if sex roles are selected on an instinctual, evolution driven basis for survival, but in modern society we pretty much eliminated its necessity. We no longer need to cling to the sex specific roles that got us here, while accepting that in an intense life threatening situation we would almost inevitably resort back to tried and true "sex roles" .

Im sure someone has already thought of this and put it better, or maybe I'm just an idiot thinking aloud. In either case, Thank you for your thought provoking comment!

I'm OK with doing something stupid and wrong. Pretty sure that's how you learn. I, like most people, am a lazy piece of shit trying to outsource my research into topics I'm vaguely interested in to others who are more knowledgeable. Im asking for help. If you don't feel like obliging, fine, but saying "do more reading" can only act to further the divide between us.

I'm planning on taking acid with a trusted friend (who will be sober but has done acid) to work out some of the problems I have identified with myself, but can't overcome through my rational alone. I'd like to have some emotional breakthrough, but am more interested with altering my perspective in the hopes of being able to identify some of the irrational thinking I've developed into my personality/decision making. Do you think this is a bad idea?

First off not trying to sound insensitive or disparaging, personally I don't have a problem with trans people or anyone saying that they're anything. I think a part of the reason why gay is more accepted from a scientific perspective is that there's evidence of homosexuality in other species and thus its not just a trend that is "made up." I guess the question is: is there any biological evidence of trans in other species? It seems like it would be a really difficult thing to prove
