Yet I feel like every time I listen to them they're basically running an ad for a movie/TV show/book through a fluff interview with someone who worked on it.

Not to be that guy but you meant "the day after Biden was inaugurated"

I agree it is relatively arbitrary, I removed the comment because of the effect it has on the tone of the community- not because of the history of the word.

no, but I think that was a joke(i hope)

FYI, US ranks 3d globally for quality and safety

accurate, and unbiased.

Lol

US ranks 3rd in "food quality and safety", beat only by Denmark and Canada

The impression I have from talking to Americans is that to eat good food in the US you need to really make an effort,

I promise, not anymore than the US. Actually, I'd argue especially in less urban areas getting fresh ingredients is more convenient from the prevalence of driving. The problem is if you can't drive you're screwed.

I don't believe this chart but it claims 1 in 4 EU citizens can't afford 1 meal with meat or fish every 2nd day

In average American food is terrible.

No, not really compared to most of the rest of the world. I live in Europe, every time I go to the US there is a lot of food I enjoy. My partner was surprised when I showed him actually good tasting American food. In terms of produce quality, fruits are by far better in most of the US then where I live in Europe(Central Europe). A lot of Europe (Germany, UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Czech Republic, etc) has pretty bland food for the most part.

I'm 21, my partner is 27. Now what?

So would someone over 25 dating someone younger than 25 be legislated?

Watch the Strange Parts videos, I wouldn't be too confident about that

I have an Ender 3, it works much better than this printer. Watch Strange Parts on YouTube, he was sent a review printer and couldn't get it to print despite being on call with the inventor/CEO himself for hours to debug it. Also, Ender 3 had a fire risk with the bed power/PSU connector too.

From the CEOs perspective, doing this he can at least get the Kickstarter backers their money back since they likely couldn't get the printer to a good state given all the issues.

The whole ecosystem here in the West doesn't favour starting up. It's not easy to do it in China either, but the whole supply chain is there (as such also the knowledge/support) and the business environment makes it more likely for it to happen there.

Agreed, and don't forget how important it is how much cheaper skilled labor is in China.

feels like they weren't all that committed to the cause.

They were in a very tough position, their printer was having major quality control issues, I think they probably needed money.

Not true

Why not? I can tear out the copyright section of book I own, how is removing a watermark different?

Reproduction is the primary complaint, but if I don't distribute it that's invalid.

Wouldn't mask of mean he admits to it?

It could be on the doctor if they're in individual practice, probably aren't though

What repercussions could covering a few acres more in the mojave with solar panels have?

Yeah I was really disappointed when I tried Hyprland

Given all the security training and certifications required to work in network security,

Certifications cannot verify creativity, it's why they're kind of useless for a lot of IT(and I suppose other engineering fields). Security like QA requires exploring unique paths that other people wouldn't have thought of
