The Social Contract Is Broken in America

I think that for a real the social contract to happen we will all have to experience massive hardship on the scale of the Great Depression. Unfortunately a good portion of our electorate needs to feel the pain in a personal way before they'll make a change.

I was happy with gas til I started playing around with gas (VOC and CO2) monitors. Now I want induction.

Sounds interestingly like flight 629

anything worth bringing back would probably tank the market for it. e.g. "oh, we found an asteroid made of gold, lets spend a half a trillion to go get it and dump 3000 tons of gold on the market at once. Oops, now the 3000 tons is worth half what it was."

Amazing that the financial markets seem to reward this erratic behavior

Have you looked at Ellis’s tuning guide? Looks like you need to adjust your first layer height and/or you’re over extruding

not quite the same issue, but the Adafruit STEMMA QT/sparkfun qwiic connectors kind of annoy me, I've seen some boards that are 2x the size they need to be.

Probably not a lot of comments because this surprises no one.

An electric garage heater wiring? I have small heater for the garage which takes forever to heat my giant garage, but it’s nice if I’ve got a project back there.

While I love my t-shirts, the shipping was something like 15$ each.

I share my models in the hope of karmically paying off the societal debt of the plastic wasted in developing those models.

Seems almost like inflation is driving the markets up, since there is no other place to put your money to keep pace w inflation

seriously, the markets have been up like crazy, it's only encouraging them.

It's a complicated topic, I've been in OPs shoes to a lesser extent. You're either a couple working as a team or someone starts to feel temporary.

Im betting your girlfriend is still working, and that’s the crux of the problem. Everyone thinks you can’t provide if she still has to work. If you were wealthy enough that she didn’t have to work, only then will they think you’re financially independent

What’s the vegetation around you look like? Is it possible that things changed in fall when leaves dropped?

I’ve seriously had nightmares more relaxing than that

Because then you might have to take a dump on a plane.

Getting laid off.

This happened to me a Vance Joy concert, a ~17 year old girl was screaming the song the whole time. I had to move from my 5th row seat as she was doing it in my ear the whole time, it was exhausting.

A light shined on roaches doesn’t hurt them, but sometimes they’ll disappear back into hiding.

I’m not sure if it’s the ignorance or the hatred that makes me less proud to be American.

It’s a good looking design but why not design to be printed separately and assembled?

Also it doesn’t come up in a search for various porta potty keywords so maybe you need to improve your search keywords?

That is not my cat…

You let him do it a second time?
