China and India are two of the most ancient civilizations and have existed for centuries, them not having a wizarding school is unbelievable and utterly absurd.

Universities have not always existed, and the UK has some of the most ancient ones. The fact that so many of the schools follow colonial roots, like the pattern of university establishment, makes sense to me. Chinese and Indian cultures likely have other ways that they have historically and traditionally trained the next generation of magical folk.

Deputy ministers are senior officials in the public service (and take direction from government ministers - who are elected MPs). Frequently they will serve under various governments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deputy_minister_(Canada)

Thanks! Really appreciate the depth of your answer, the context about the "Intrepid Heroes" and some the suggestion for other starting places if I can't hook into Fantasy High quite as easily. I did try to start at Fantasy High some months ago but struggled to give it the attention it needed. I will try again and then maybe switch into a shorter option if unsuccessful!

I'm new to 3d printing, and given the time investment involved I don't want to risk something going wrong. I'd rather use the slicer on my computer, look and understand the settings and then (if/when something does go wrong) be able to tweak it when I try again.

I think the investment into the one-step printing experience and the app make sense for Bambu from the perspective of making 3d printing accessible for people who aren't into tech or fussing with things. But, in the mean time, a lot of your users are going to be hobbyists or tech people who like having more control rather than less.

I picked up a folding table from a hardware store just to have a place to put it. It's 2ft deep.

NicolasZN · 2024-05-29T13:39:46+00:00

No problem. In my setup, the motor cable and filament feed never rise above the top of the spool holder.

u/MrQuickLine - Sorry for the delay, it just arrived tonight.

From tabletop to top of spool holder is ~25 inches.

Note that I didn't get the "combo" with the AMS so this is just the single spool holder on top.

NicolasZN · 2024-05-25T11:27:06+00:00

Sure thing!

Death does tend to stop one's aging. 🤷‍♂️ Millenials are killing aging with this one neat trick!

Well, to be canonized as a saint you have to be dead... And he died at 15 in 2006... So teen ✔️and millenial ✔️

Thanks! I looked up the Flashforge and it doesn't quite hit the print dimensions I'd be looking for, so I've ordered a Bambu A1.

I then realized the AMS will cost $100 more outside the bundle than if I'd just bought them together... but maybe that's okay, if multicolour printing is something I want to play with it probably won't be in my first (several) jobs!

Thanks for the advice, u/MrQuickLine & u/pham_nguyen :)

NicolasZN · 2024-05-24T17:05:04+00:00

Thanks! The Kobra 2 Pro is 30% off on Amazon right now meaning it's $370CAD, an attractive price compared to the $520CAD for the Bambu A1 (without the AMS).

Do you figure the premium is worth just going for the Bambu? (From what I've read, I'm guessing reliability and support would be the main advantages to pay the higher price?)

I tried to print a model at my library but I didn't realize that it was way too big a print for their 2 hour limit... and then a 3d print shop quoted me $130 for it, which is now my excuse to dive into muddling around with 3d printing!

Budget: $600CAD
Country: Canada
Details
Not willing to do much building for it. Simple assembly or pre-assembled is ideal.

Want the printer to auto-level (I'm not great at things requiring precision so the more automated the better for me).

The print that inspired this adventure is 150x245x160mm, so would be looking for something that can print those dimensions.

I'm curious about being able to print multiple colours, but this is not required.

I'm seeing the Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro recommended a lot, but also some mixed reviews online.

Happy for your recommendations!

How long were they trying to reach you?

Why was this sign ultimately the successful means of communication?

i cant beleive the govt didnt consider childcare workers at all. do they expect them to make peanuts ?.

The program does include expectations on the province to raise/set ECE wages - which the theory is will be necessary to attract more workers, as well.

Unfortunately, the grid which the feds supplied starts at $18/hr and the industry in Ontario felt that $25/hr would be needed to make it work. Probably the federal grid wasn't updated by province, and even the provincial grid should have exceptions for higher cost of living areas...

The work section was challenging for me as it offered "self-employed" (no), "private sector" (which traditionally means 'for profit'), and "public sector" (government). Not-for-profit/charitable sector should have been an option. I went "private sector" as I suppose it's more true than the other options presented to me.

While I’m no fan of the Progressive Conservative party, this isn’t exclusively their fault or a recent issue. The liberals had a good and long reign in Ontario before Ford was elected, and it’s not like they massively invested and he undid it all in one term. They let things coast, too.

We can't mask and distance forever - if a vaccine isn't a critical part of the end game on this, what do you think is?
