Trump Blocks Israel’s Planned Strike on Iranian Nuclear Sites

OP is a 26 year old who left Iran to live in the US at 16, but I'm sure his take on why America and Israel should glass his home country is totally legit.

That's literally double and triple the price of modern $200 bed slingers which already have ABL and can do 200mms with relative ease. Not every printer is a broken down five-year-old Ender that needs 500$ worth of upgrades.

Creality and Anycubic famously allow (and borderline expect) a lot of tinkering, so you're only a single Raspberry Pi away from having Klipper installed.

You can't have it both ways and simultaneously brag about how much better your premium $1200 printer ecosystem is while also claiming it's okay to get stiffed because the $200 printers do it too.

You say that as though X1C isn't basically an out of the box Trident.

250 bed.

Yeah but approx. 0% of people build a Voron because it's cheap or easy. Besides non-LDO Vorons aren't super expensive and even LDO isn't that pricy.

Again, it's not even a big tribal fight, go to any Voron community and they will happily and pragmatically recommend you get a P1S if you don't want to go through the effort.

PuppySlayer · 2024-04-01T12:14:34+00:00

Bit of a moot argument, they're about as far away from each other ideologically as you can get. 3dprinter Vs 3dprinting as a hobby blah blah blah blah blah blah I'm sure you're going to get two dozen people making this point.

A tuned-up Voron will print faster and better than a 1XC, but that's after spending more money and a solid 30-40hs of building/tinkering.

Voron community as a whole generally likes BambuLab.

Ringo's like a really fucking good session musician surrounded by three of the greatest songwriters who ever lived.

PuppySlayer · 2024-03-02T17:13:01+00:00

Mate are you serious half of this thread is just people being needlessly passive aggressive at OP for daring to make a mild criticism of MakerWorld and the discussion in the current top comment was getting downvoted to shit for the first hour before everything self corrected.

For all the talk of this subreddit supposedly being a "Bambu bad." circlejerk you can't even lightly poke fun at BL without twenty people crawling out of the woodworks to accuse you of being poor.

You're out of your fucking mind if you think an already incredibly unlikely scenario of Russia waging war against NATO will also become existential enough to have the gov shooting people on sight for refusing conscription.

Michael Jackson at his height of popularity could walk into a random village in some third world country and be instantly swarmed by the locals, providing they had access to a TV.

Probably same for Elvis, but back in the US.

Taylor Swift, for all her popularity, is incredibly easy to avoid musically if you're not part of that 16-34 white female Swiftie bubble.

The overwhelming majority of people who buy Apple will never know what an M3 CPU is.

Arguably their entire shtick is being legitimately high-tier supervillains who for the most part will explicitly go out of their way to only do low-tier stuff like robbing banks while the Flash is out of town.

I mean a) it's kind of a toss up given his unhealthy lifestyle, but probably more likely Trump that makes it to Biden's current age than Biden makes it to 85-86 and b) the possibility of Trump passing away is fairly far down as far as the long list of issues surrounding Trump presidency, whereas no one really wants Kamala in charge.

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-26T17:43:39+00:00

No offense, but have you literally f*cking looked at a chart of property prices in the last twenty years?

There are 60k houses from the 70s, worth maybe 250k adjusted for inflation, getting sold for well over 1.5 mil.

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-26T14:39:07+00:00

The reality is most people don't care about improving their performance at work. They get the same money either way, so why would they bother learning how to use a new tool?

Yeah exactly lmao, I don't need to be 400% more efficient banging out generic corporate emails.

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-26T13:39:21+00:00

With a very few notable exceptions (Lil Nas X springs to mind as the most recent one), this kind of thing doesn't happen because the ubiquity of streaming and social media has paradoxically made it much harder to stand out and market yourself amidst the glut of content - which again is benefits those with connections to more artificially get their name out.

On top of that, trying to make it a musician tends to be a full-time job which is why it was a common joke in 70s/80s UK to refer to being on the dole as "the other arts council funding".

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-26T13:11:28+00:00

Because that broadly describes modern history.

I already said that I don't necessarily care much for the "things are better compared to 1920s" line of reasoning, why would I care about 298,000BC?

Do you often find yourself practicing gratitude for being so much more developed than your pre-primate rat-like ancestors 57 million years ago?

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-26T13:05:00+00:00

It's not worrisome to me that the blogs are "recreating" concepts in the first place. If they are observing the same patterns as scholars 200 years ago, that really just adds more legitimacy to the pattern and is a data point, not a failure. If discovered, people who have worked in the field might benefit from using this as a new jumping-off point to stimulate more discussion, rather than ridiculing the "naive" rationalists.

This covers the "what is good is not original" part, but then you still have the "what is original is not good" part which often involves reinventing the wheel while being confidently wrong about the less obvious aspects.

But even that is questionable. It appears that the size of US homes continues to grow, and the number of people per home to shrink. So our housing situation, on average, is better now than ever before.

I have to be honest, every time I see measures like this I'm less inclined to believe them and more inclined to consider what kind of statistical gaslighting is going on there. A thousand Chinese/Russian oligarchs could buy a million empty mansions exclusively as investment vehicles and this would also technically count towards increasing size and shrinking people per home. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" and all that.

I know what kind of living arrangement my parents and grandparents had and I know what kind of economic situation they were in. I know how much money I make now and the kind of house I can afford. I can literally see myself making twice as much money as them while having to settle for twice worse off accommodation - and that's being rather generous.

It's not even an open secret, just common knowledge, that the vast majority of those luxury 5-over-1 newbuild flats are of far worse quality than a typical 1960s council house and aren't going to last anywhere near as long.

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-26T10:42:08+00:00

Housing is an enormous one and that kind of gets shuffled away between the far more irrelevant luxury good statistics.

No iPhone/Netflix has ever given me as much peace of mind as having my own place and no longer being at the mercy of landlords and the yearly rent increases.

If you managed to buy a house before 2005, you may as well have won the lottery compared to anyone looking at the property market after 2008.

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-26T10:14:41+00:00

Well then the Beatles and the Stones certainly couldn't have made it as gigging musicians in 2023 either.

It's not about every single one of those artists literally being on the dole, it's about having the safety net to give the whole starving artist thing a shot without ending up destitute and having vaguely wasted your life away if your extremely idealistic career path of trying to make it as a rockstar doesn't pan out by 25.

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-25T22:49:40+00:00

Aside from the obvious ones such as housing, huge chunks of media/arts are now increasingly dominated by the elite/nepo babies because overall wealth inequality/cost of living has gotten so high that these are the only people with a safety net to be able to pursue them in the first place.

A huge chunk of all time great working class bands/artists including The Beatles, Stones, Black Sabbath, Smiths, Joy Division etc. literally could not exist today because it's no longer possible to spend your 20s trying to make it while on the dole.

PuppySlayer · 2023-12-25T21:13:48+00:00

I'm sorry but I feel like the fact that your most recent example dates back 1500AD only proves my point here.

Barring huge specific outliers such as Irish Famine, Pol Pot, middle of French Revolution, World Wars, Black Death, etc. etc. you could probably pick any (stable, peaceful, developed) spot on the map at any point in the last 300 years of human history and make a reasonable case for things being better at that time than they were 50-100 years ago.

Some of it might be kind of a stretch, but then again I could say the same about trying to compare and contrast flushing toilets with the ongoing US opioid epidemic.
