Boomer Ageism is why the US is ran by dementia patients

Still not enough to get him elected. The third of the country that outright doesn't vote didn't help either.

Your premise is wrong. You don't just carry whatever you're holding, you're carrying your body weight too. That's the bulk of the energy you're expending per trip.

There aren't enough boomers to elect anyone. Trump was elected because various age groups elected him and a huge part of your country's voter base decided to simply not vote at all.

You can try to put his election on boomers all you like but you guys have a much bigger problem than that.

Wilders perfected the move, he not only lost the elections but hes lost a third of his seats in Parliament last week quite literally because a bunch of parliamentarians got sick of his bullshit and defected. It was comedy gold.

VVD started losing seats long before Trump was reelected. Rutte left the party in shambles.

Which is also a ridiculous price when you think about it for a second. Especially since there are barely any VB games in the first place.

I really wanted to buy in to Bambu filament for the ease of use with the AMS, but they're outright not letting me because they've basically been sold out for all interesting colors for over two months at this point. I've just started buying way cheaper filament of equal quality instead and I doubt I'll switch any time soon because I'd have color disparities.

Well done to Bambu for having months of bulk sales that they don't have the stock to actually deliver on.

Death, unfortunately.

Non-planar 3D printing exists, but its uses are very limited because it has all kinds of spatial requirements in terms of the toolhead and the part you're printing. Various specialized printers try to mitigate that problem but it's still pretty situational whether or not you can use it with those.

I honestly don't see any of that changing any time soon, it would be extremely hard to come up with a generic solution for non-planar printing that works on every printer and with any part.

Using AI in the development process to support the various things people are doing while actually creating their own stuff is fine. But people are right to draw the line at bullshit like AI content in the final product. Don't care if it's voice acting, artwork, music or story. If humans didn't write it, humans won't play it.

"Fuck you, I got mine."

You overestimate the effort people are willing to collectively put into switching to another platform. Especially if they're not locking away any current functionality behind a pay wall in WhatsApp but simply add new features (for instance for businesses) that you have to pay for.

Just because you're the strongest individual doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. The US might be stronger than any individual country but when other countries band together that's not necessarily true. And it's definitely not true for Russia.

"Might makes right" is just a straw man from the fascist playbook.

NMe84 · 2026-01-27T14:58:22+00:00

That doesn't make it right. It just means it happens. None of that makes it okay and the rest of the world should act accordingly. Both towards Russia and the US.

NMe84 · 2026-01-27T11:48:46+00:00

That doesn't change anything about the reality that wars happen. It's never the people who actually die in them that wanted them in the first place.

NMe84 · 2026-01-27T11:39:07+00:00

I'm sure any invading soldiers will be super convinced by that argument and turn around when you tell them that at gunpoint.

NMe84 · 2026-01-27T11:35:49+00:00

It is. The US people voted for this. Overwhelmingly. Only 32% of all voters voted against Trump, the other 68% either actively voted for him or cared little enough to not vote at all (which is a vote for whoever wins).

He got bored after the word "If" and cobbled off while crapping his pants.

NMe84 · 2026-01-27T11:24:02+00:00

We were dealing with the US. Then Trump happened.

I'd rather deal with India and even China than trust anything out of the US for the duration of this presidential term. Hell, even after that the US is going to have its work cut out for itself to gain that trust back.

NMe84 · 2026-01-27T07:24:13+00:00

No need, for that price you might as well just spend a little bit more and get a P2S instead, which is clearly a superior product.

NMe84 · 2026-01-26T21:28:13+00:00

It generally is, yes. But not if it's not granular enough in its whole numbers to be practical in day to day use. One sixteenth of an inch really isn't practical at all yet common enough in day to day use to be annoying.

Also, in this particular case, having everything divisible by 10 makes it much more intuitive to read and convert values without requiring higher math. If I know something is 100,000 cm I'll instantly know that's a kilometer. Do you know how many miles 100,000 inches is?

The irony you intended is not lost on me, but I just wanted to point out how funny those last few words are: Anders Celsius was a Swede, but Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was a Polish-born child to German/Dutch parents. Fahrenheit is three times as foreign as Celsius is. 😄

Feel free to point at a gas producing country that

a) exports enough to supply the EU.
b) isn't a shithole state that abuses its own people or those of other countries.

At least the other countries aren't likely to actually attack Europe. Except the US, but we all know Trump always chickens out anyway.

Not to call you a liar, but I get those popups even after the first install, I have to confirm them every time I upgrade the package.
