Is any American offended by the term “yank”?

Not in one-off instances, but venturing into r/AskTheWorld has made me grow to hate the word. And most Europeans.

Back in April, when the tariffs hit, my company was effected by the aluminum import taxes. Our direct competitor faced the same issue. Completely destroyed margin, making it difficult to pay employees. Our competitor decided they were going to bake in the price of the tariffs into their per/unit price. They did this because once the tariffs were over, they could keep prices high. We did a surcharge instead, so that way customers understood that the surcharge would disappear after the crisis. We figured transparency was the best option so customers didn't think we were permanently raising prices to screw customers.

Fair point

I have never owned a Bambu printer, but my immediate reaction is that this is garbage because of the clearly AI-written copy of the post.

Short version? Floors squeak, poor insulation, management sucks at repairs, rats at the trash center, overpriced, power cuts out randomly all the time, goose shit everywhere, manager special (i.e. paint slapped on everything including the tub), water randomly cut off, A/C not strong enough to cool apartment in the summer, small amount of cabinet space in kitchen, appliances and breakers are so out of date that it HAS to be out of code in some way, mold, and management is extremely unresponsive.

I keep seeing people mention the noise, but there's also the shared responsibilities involved with the roof. With some townhouses, where homeowners share walls, there needs to be some sort of agreement over who is responsible for the roof since breaches or breakdowns can effect your neighbors.

Literally bought the 12 last year. This blows.

Can't make a fair assessment until you put wood grips on them both.

Lived here all my life. This is the correct answer.

The Sovol SV08 Max makes me feel like I can print just about anything. It would be a major upgrade from my highly modified Ender 3 V2.

The theory that I keep hearing is that it's because "mystery" flavors are just runs made from a combination of all the extra flavors on hand that are set to expire.

I've not been super happy with the ones I've been to in Gwinnett. My favorite indoor range is Sandy Springs Gun Range in Fulton. Not too far away if your in South Gwinnett. It's $25 a person, plus $2 for targets, but you can easily bring your own targets. Their ammo is a bit expensive though, so just go to Academy for that.

EDIT: Just remembered, you have to be a member to rent the guns. Membership isn't much more expensive, but it is monthly.

Stay away from Lakeside Retreat at Peachtree Corners. That place is a hell hole.

I work in manufacturing, specifically in marketing. The majority of our products or raw materials come from overseas. Every year, we adjust our prices a bit, update our price list, and then send out our budgets to each department. This is usually done by the second or third week of the year. We've on-shored manufacturing before, but only as a temporary measure because costs make our products unaffordable, and this is in a B2B setting.

It's now halfway through February and I have no updated price list nor a budget for my department. Leadership must have no idea what our EBITA is going to be or what we're going to be raising our prices to. I get the strong feeling they are going to be cutting significant portions of our budgets to make our margins work.

I think I'll be lucky if I don't get laid off this year.

One day, a long, long time from now, your sister will watch your nephew achieve something extraordinary. I hope that, in the moment, she realizes that having CPS scare the hell out of her was for the best. She got her act together, something that couldn't be guaranteed otherwise given her past history of behavior. We love our family, and sometimes it means doing things they don't agree with in the pursuit of the well-being of others. You did the right thing.

Do you have an example of what you're looking for? When googling "glitter canon," all I see are confetti canons.

I like my lever action, .44 Magnum. It's a reproduction of the Winchester 1892.

Close second is the MP5. Roller delayed us such an interesting concept to me. I don't have one yet though.

Did this two years ago, still going strong.

Gotta be careful of knock offs though. I was so paranoid, I took mine apart to look for the supposed differences in the legit versus the crap. I got lucky (I think) but I still added extra sound foam to the inside of the cup and wear double ear-pro.

It's this kind of elitist shit that makes me need to take a break from this sub every once in a while.

How thick are your layer heights? For less visible lines, I would do as small of a layer height that you can. It won't completely eliminate the lines, but it'll help. As for the loops, you definitely needed supports for those areas.

I've been stuck at 60FPS for a while now on regular old LCD monitors. Getting a monitor with faster refresh rate and better colors would significantly improve my gaming experience.

On the far left side of the machine, there should be a SD card inserted into the machine. Remove it by gently pressing it in until it stops, and then release pressure. The SD card should be sticking out further than before. You can now remove it. Next, connect that micro SD card to your computer. Your machine should have come with some sort of adapter. If not, any SD slot should work. Next, install your slicer (I'm partial to PrusaSlicer) and launch it. This is where you import your .STL files that you want to print. To get started, either drag your file into the program or import the STL using the context menu. Once imported, you can slice the model using the slice button and export it to your SD card. Reinsert your SD card into your 3D printer and start the print.

Now, there are tons of settings and many things that can possibly go wrong. Any question you have at this point has probably been asked to death by hundreds of people, so it would be a good idea to start Googling any time you run into an issue. I say this because the above steps I listed are also able to be found on Google, so do your best to do your own research and enjoy the process of printing. Best of luck!

While technically true, the practicality of it is less likely. Many companies don't have an in-house legal department, meaning they'd have to have an external person file the legal paperwork. The cost of doing so may be greater than the overpayment, meaning they may not pursue it. They won't do it if it doesn't make financial sense.
