    If you're in the Houston area I'd be happy to run some prints for you, or chat with you on how to get it set up yourself. Bambu's A1 is awesome at $250, and has a filament switcher bundle option for $400 if you need multicolor or multi filament

    Oh man, there's a BUNCH of YouTube videos on this. Everything from PLA to some tailor-blended filaments for burn-out. But yeah aluminum, copper, and bronze all play really nicely with the process The really crazy stuff is the SLA (stereolithography) printers that get micron layer heights. I really recommend OrcaSlicer for its built in tuning prints that are really helpful for building a filament profile. Covers everything from temperature towers, to pressure advance, to max flow rate calibrations. That's definitely more nitty gritty, but it's nice for tuning

    Another common theme: a failed first attempt, a failure to punish it, and then a popular takeover fueled by propagandized grievances. We're running a little faster than the historical benchmark of 8-9 years

    China makes the best panels by a country mile, and we don't have their capacity or labor force to stand up similar lines here in the US. Too much capital needed for investors to be interested

    Historically speaking, most dictators do win an election to gain power that they never relinquish

    It's moreso that women are being left to die while miscarrying for days until the nonviable fetus' heart stops. These are not women who want to kill babies. They desperately want to be mothers, but unfortunately miscarried. Why do you think those women deserve death?

    You posted on this thread: Your comment here is inferring that medias+ is not a solid source, by way of sarcasm.

    That's really underselling it. This church elder is gleefully posting about how excited he is to create prosecutions of his political enemies. Explicitly fascist shit.

    I think there's a difference in thinking gay marriage should be legal, and thinking we should denaturalize people because a relative committed a crime

    Do you have a more preferred list of campaign promises from the guy you voted for? Our list or yours, I think it's important to track if people are doing what they said they would do or not. And trump has said quite a lot with his own mouth, multiple times. It's unfortunate to just claim it's a lie, but offer nothing to back up your claim. I appreciate you taking the time on a Friday morning to do that

    And it was originally a tiktok video by looks, but if you right click -> open in new tab, it's hosted on media.surlyhorns. So that's just your browser's built-in player

    So this being the "Truce" thread, can I make an ask? What is the trump supporter's list of campaign promises that you think is fair and valid? Let's at least agree on what he said he would do, so we can track that together.

    To be more productive, do you have a source you'd prefer we use to track trump's campaign promises?

    By the way just wanted to circle back on this one lol

    I mean, for starters the Senate Republicans published a thousand page report on it. So there's ample evidence and a paper trail to back that belief.

    And when regulations are rolled back and allow insurance companies to discriminate against preexisting conditions, that's going to result in.... things being cheaper and more available?

    And then, they can cash out tax-free on those distorted and inflated positions by taking MASSIVE loans that are secured by the illiquid but still valuable paper assets. Buy, borrow, die. Their estate will pay out any balances.

    Well, it won't be called a kill list. It'll be that it's too expensive to cover your child, so your private healthcare will drop you and you'll have to fend for yourself. And when some major health incident comes up, either pony up or kiss em goodbye.

    There's an order of magnetude more children getting pulped in their school hallways than are even trans people participating in competitive sports. Why the fuck do yall care so fucking much? Because it's been repeated to you over and over that trans people are the "enemy within". It's why Ken Paxton has been working on pulling that list together from government documents. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/12/14/ken-paxton-transgender-texas-data/ Just hand that off to the planned armed federal officers to be deployed on day one.

    I mostly agree with your post and thoughts, but I disagree with you here. The obviously false stuff was front and center the entire time. Every ad was about how teachers are giving sex changes in the classroom, and putting boys in girls sports. That is not a real thing that is happening anywhere. A school nurse can't even give out advil or tylenol without a form, and yet they're somehow doing gender affirming healthcare? But you're right - it's the constant, pervasive, simple messaging that drives it. If you repeat the lie enough, people start to believe it.

    Unsurprisingly, President Zelensky agrees with you Speaking to European leaders at a summit in Hungary, Zelenskyy blasted those who were pressuring him to give in to some of Putin's hardline demands. "There has been much talk about the need to yield to Putin, to back down, to make some concessions," Zelenskyy said, according to a copy of the address provided to AFP by the Ukrainian presidency. "It's unacceptable for Ukraine and suicidal for all Europe," he added. He also accused some European leaders, without specifying which ones, of "strongly" pushing Ukraine to compromise. "We need sufficient weapons, not support in talks. Hugs with Putin won't help. Some of you have been hugging him for 20 years, and things are only getting worse," Zelenskyy said.
