I'm in my 30's and though I'm the most stable and financially well off that I've ever been, I'm still not well off enough to stop checking over furniture left on the curb. I'll likely never have the money to buy anything without doing math first. No matter my efforts, my only retirement option is a serious workplace injury with a big pay out. The most lavish purchase I make every month is the internet bill, which I literally need to do my online schooling.
Kansas is very much the same, though it has some "hills" in one county. I cannot stress how oppressive it is to stand on a 3 story building and see the curve of the earth. The only thing I disliked more was the ocean.
My favorite tale is that the rat king takes the teeth. He trades in secrets which are stored in the teeth and children have an uncanny ability to over hear things that not even rats can learn, so he pays the children based off the quality of the secrets. You also can't lie because lies damage the teeth and the rat king won't pay as much.
Personally I block anything that ends with "moe" I'm not really into thirst traps and anime thirst traps feel like the bottom of an already unwanted barrel.
I'll second qidi, I got my x-pro back in 2018 and it came with instructions on tpu before you could reliably get tpu filament. My box has been printing like a dream ever since and they've even helped me do a bunch of custom mods. Last time the provided full spec measurements for thee extruder head to me, before they they provided custom cura specs for a machine modified with my custom kit to help troubleshoot an issue I was having. Literally, they modded their own machine with my files to help me out.
If you're in my area they sue you without telling you and it goes straight to garnish out of your paycheck. I had to spend a better part of a decade committing fraud just to keep enough money to pay for rent and food.
LoFi beats to use Fire Spin to.
