  • Ah, you are right regarding the full dataset. Thank you.

    It's strange that they start off with, and seem to focus on, the under-45 respondents unless they were trying to push a positive-viewpoint message. For that age group, it was 31% positive and 41% negative. However, this group seems like a better fit for the Lemmy/Reddit audience. Furthermore, left-leaning voters appear to be more positive in this poll than their right-leaning counterparts.

    With all that in mind, I still think this meme works well and wouldn't have been improved with Bernie.

  • In your link below, 18% only includes "strong positive". Why exclude "somewhat positive"?

    Edit (correcting numbers as pointed out): 31% positive, 41% negative for the under-45 respondents. 19% positive, 61% negative overall.

  • Those are both great questions. Of course, I can't predict how all that will shake out. However, to bring it back to my original point, I think either hypothetical will increase the legitimatecy of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

  • You make some interesting parallels. While Bitcoin is not mined from the Earth like oil, it is similarly mined all-around the world and not just in US jurisdictions. If another country tried manipulating Bitcoin to crash or pump-and-dump after the US becomes a major stakeholder it would be interesting to see how the US responds.

    Again, I'm not speaking in favor or against Trump, just exploring the facts.

  • Bitcoin is climbing again today because Trump reaffirmed his intention to create a US cryptocurrency reserve. If state currencies have value because they are backed by the military, wouldn't this give the same source of value to these currencies? I don't think the US isn't going to be happy with outside entities messing with the value of their assets.

  • I'm convinced Prusa and Bambu pricing is very simular; their printers just aren't always an apples-to-apples comparison. When considering enclosed, metal framed, coreXY printers, the Prusa Core One can be purchased as a kit for $950, but the Bambu X1C is $1150. (I highly recommend the Prusa kit options for new owners so they can get familiar with maintaining their machine.) At the mini end, you have the same $200 difference, but in the other direction. The Prusa Mini+ kit is $430 while the Bambu A1 Mini is $220. However, these Bambu prices are currently shown as discounted and I'm not sure if they ever go up to their higher MSRPs. Therefore, I don't like how Prusa is the only printer brand in this guide with an "expensive" warning.

    Edit: Perhaps it would add more clarity to instead include the MSRP in parentheses beside the individual printers listed below.

  • I'm not sure what you're woooshing here. If your saying that you were being sarcastic and you do recognize they were using affordable hardware, then that was understood. That's exactly what I was responding to.

    They used their Prusas and cheap filament to print pipe fittings that exceeded residential plumbing pressure requirements by 4-8x across the different materials. Filament cost was 3-17x cheaper than commercial fittings. Overall this study was a success. I think this price-point of printer hardware is a perfect match for the application. Any quality improvements from a more expensive "professional" printer would be wasted on these kinds of simple, low-precision designs.
