  • So the implication, not letter, of the 2nd ammendment gives US citizens the right to shoot cops if they are acting as an extension of a tyrannical state. I wonder if there is a case to be made that this executive order infringes on the constitution.
    Of course, I don't expect any 2A stans to care.

  • I understand your sentiment. Can I ask you to consider a scenario?

    Imagine a company needs to hire a new employee. They have 9 white men, and need a 10th person. Whoever is hiring may not think they are prejudiced, but they need to consider how the new hire will fit in with the existing team.
    They may be worried about how hiring a qualified woman will upset the dynamic. A qualified Hispanic with an accent may be overlooked if the hiring manager is concerned about their English skills. Any number of reasons that may not even be conscious, but influence the decision to hire another white man.

    Do you think it is possible for DEI practices to ensure diverse and qualified candidates? Why does hiring a non-white have to mean they are less qualified? If we instead start with the assumption that qualified candidates exist from many backgrounds, hiring them in proportion to their representation in the population doesn't seem like a crazy idea.

  • I respect drag's pronouns. Correct me if I'm wrong, but referring to drag with "they" is not right?

    They wouldn't say:
    I like cheese.

    They would say:
    Drag likes cheese.

    Not trying to pull a gotcha or anything, it just confuses me because I keep seeing comments defending drag's pronouns while also using they/them.

  • Correct, but thankfully that won't be a surprise since it is evident when you are enrolling. It's up to each pet owner to decide if that's worth it.

    In our case, a few hundred dollars per year to make ER visits financially bearable is a good value.

  • I don't know about that. Both of my cats would be dead if not for pet insurance. One needed a $10k surgery this summer that I was able to afford because of my pet insurance. The other had $4k of surgeries the year before. Both instances my insurance covered 70%. Neither of my cats are much more than 5 years old, just bad luck with their health.

  • There are some alternatives that are usually affiliated with a religion. CHM is one such organization. Members all pay a recurring fee like they do with insurance, and all have access to the pool for their healthcare.
    I have never used one so I cant speak to the efficacy, but it seems to answer your question.

  • I guess I understand where the idea comes from. That said, I print with both materials and I have had so many more issues with FDM. My resin prints almost always come out right on the first try, and I've never had to tinker with my Elegoo Mars Pro; it just worked out of the box.
