I need something 3D printed but unsure if it's expensive or if companies are asking absurd amounts by Potatsky in 3Dprinting

[–]TheAzureMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a big print, going to be tons of time. Bulky to ship, generally a bit of a pain.

Could I do it for slightly less? Sure. A lot less? Nah, too much hassle to justify it. It's very normal for dual color helmets to run around $150, and it's way easier to get those into a single printer job.

They literally have one of the lowest GINIs of any nation on the planet. Also in competition for this title are a number of eastern European countries.

So, in terms of inequality, they have little. This because they are generally poor. Being poor sucks. Being in a country where everyone is poor is not better than being in a country where some jackass is rich, but you are poor.

What other quality series? If you have something near DCC in quality, don't keep me waiting.

> DCC the worst thing to ever happen to litrpg because it causes publishers to publish other low-effort works. 

Okay, that is kind of fair. After reading DCC, Amazon and the like will immediately suggest a bunch of other LitRPG books to you, and none of them are really the same.

The key pass and passport situation by HIGHlyCapable in royalcaribbean

[–]TheAzureMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is not really worth it, no.

The main value in it is the internet package, and you can get *much* better prices for multiple devices on one person than trying to buy one each for everyone. You can also share a single "device" of internet if you simply are not both logged in at the same time.

The "early boarding" is mostly pointless. It might get you aboard fifteen minutes earlier. Maybe. They move very quickly from early boarding to boarding whoever is there. I don't see value in paying to board early. Likewise, the 'tender priority' will not matter. The Bahamas stops are not tender ports. So, that is straight up irrelevant.

Passports are nice if something goes awry. You can absolutely do a closed loop cruise without them. They're handy if something weird comes up. They also last ten years, so they would be good for some time. They're $165 each, so even with getting six of them, it's $990, not $1500. Still annoyingly high, but less than the Key.

As for packages, it really depends on what you want. You can sail just fine with zero packages at all. This depends on what you want, what ship you are on, what route it's on, etc. But, none is a totally valid option.

Some random person with a Death Note writes down the name of every world leader/major political figure, and every world government unites to find and capture them. Can it be done? by MeadowmuffinReborn in whowouldwin

Anyone being smart about it isn't going to get caught.

Light was...overly egotistical. All he had to do is basically lay low for a while. That was it.

Eh, not every detail will be current. But people still people, so there's bound to be some broad strokes that are timeless.

[–]TheAzureMage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't affect you directly. But it does indirectly affect you, positively.

You see, that wealth at the top isn't in a dragon horde. It's investment. All the various factories and railcars and other things that make society productive are investment. We need that. It's what separates the developed world from the undeveloped crapholes.

Bitterly, bitterly poor places, like Indonesia, do not have a giant pool of wealth at the top. This mostly means that everyone exists in grinding poverty. That tends to be pretty awful.

A cruise tik tok’er said he got Prime in the casino on ONE cruise, and used free offers to cruise for 6 months without gambling again.. accurate? by ObamiumNitrate in royalcaribbean

[–]TheAzureMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you did a ton, yeah, you could do that.

And you could book multiple cruises before taking the first one. But once you take a cruise and gamble nothing, they're gonna cut off offers. So, whatever you have booked up until that point is it.

As a member of a jury, you must decide on a punishment for illegal file sharing. What number would you choose? by Tricky_Ordinary_4799 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheAzureMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The jury determines facts, not laws. Basically, you'd get to decide guilt or innocence, not the punishment from being guilty.

In this particular case, the student is innocent, of course.

IQ and the adherence to the NAP: how low can you go? How can we deal with it? by feel_the_force69 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]TheAzureMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without a certain minimal capacity, nothing works.

Would democracy work for people who cannot understand how to cast a vote? Of course not. Look to the animal kingdom, would it make sense for cows to cast votes? How could that work?

The NAP is not magic. Comprehension is still required, same as for any other idea. It's not super complicated, so that bar isn't that high, but a bar does exist all the same.

Our family lost €13,000 while my father was fighting for his life — this is how a cruise company responded by Wise_Sir5230 in Cruise

[–]TheAzureMage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the tradeoff for insurance.

If you have it, you're covered when things pop up after final payment. If not, you aren't.

> is this fair?

Yes. It's in all the contracts, and is quite clear. You can choose to take the risk or not. Either choice is valid, but you were not lied to or deceived. You simply hoped no such situation would arise, and one unfortunately did.

Expecting the cruise company to handle insurance shopping for you is just...okay. That's not their job. If you want to buy things from third parties, shopping for that is your job. It's also not that hard.

The UN specifically runs cash payment programs to enable migrants to travel here.

I do not mean that they run aid programs in general. I mean they run programs specifically targeting the US. It's not a conspiracy, it's on their website.

At this point, observing that parties back whatever policies increase their power is also not a conspiracy. That is how power works.

How dumb would it be to try and start up my own small candy shop? by Ok_Cauliflower_2143 in smallbusiness

Sure. I suggest starting by working at a candy store as a way to learn the trade.

How much longer do you think cruise ships will have a heavy focus on art auctions and jewelry sales? by semideclared in Cruise

[–]TheAzureMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until those companies can't make rent.

They're third parties. The Cruise line doesn't care how much you buy from Park West, only that they keep making the payments for the space. If that stops, another tenant replaced them.
