Pretty much no one would be alive in the MCU if it operated on the same logical rules as ours does lol

Based on my experience working with PR teams and executives - you probably had a bored PR team that wanted to do something that feels important or relavent, and they pitched it to the exec team in a way that made them feel all important and excited (they probably threw in the phrase "lifestyle brand" a few times), so they went with it against all reason

It's a joke from the game lol - it might be improved by playing it in short bursts though, would certainly break up the monotany or some aspects

There's no Fremen on Caladan.

I know? What does that have to do with what I said?

Interesting that you run into those issues, I've had it for years and handedly had to manual reconcile more than once or twice early on, certainly not in the last few years

Good news is, no one is making you use it!

In fairness to multicolor printing in general, he couldn't have picked a worse multicolor model for generating waste. You want to optimize for as few color changes as possible. Just the other day I printed some pokeballs in full color and it was (iirc) around a 0.4:1 waste:print ratio - which is still a fair bit of waste, but nothing like 2.5, thanks to the fact that the colors are layered.

Gradients are the absolute worst thing for multicolor printing, this printer was probably doing 3-6 color switches per layer

I'll check it out! Thanks

Yup, it plays well with his audience - she's just a poor stay at home mom doing her best to take care of her kids, and the evil radical left is dragging her into their witch hunt, harming her kids

Yeah it's bullshit, but it's good bullshit

100% - also try and budget to get the battery replaced with this method though, most modern smartphone batteries start showing significant wear after 2 years

That's interesting, the Bambu slicer actually does let you control how much, if at all, you purge during switches - I might try just setting it to 0 and seeing what I end up with..

The Bambu slicer does offer such a thing, the results vary depending on the colors in question though, if the color it's purging is black, and most of the print is white, then the black that gets flushed into the infill is going to be pretty visible under the white outer walls. This can be mitigated by thicker walls, and ofc its less of an issue when dealing with colors of different, but similar, shades

I've found that the best way to reduce multicolor waste is to try and setup your model in the first place so that it uses the smallest number of color changes possible, but ofc whether or not you have much control over that will depend largely on the model in question

Maybe you ought to humble yourself, given that you're the one stating that you know with absolute certainty how another individual that you know nothing about would or wouldn't act.

I never said I was immune to propoganda, lies, or manipulation - there are just simply no lies, manipulations, or propoganda that could make me abandon my morals to the extent of literal genocide. You could probably get me to hate a group you wanted me to hate, but I wouldn't murder my own worst enemy - so that's not going to get you anywhere.

Arteides happen to be one of the good royal families,

You already lost me, the Atreides aren't "good", they're just populist and spend more energy on PR than the Harkonnens.

Their plans with the fremens is a pretty good example. Their plans with the Fremens was to turn them into a private army to use against the Emperor. They were going to use the fremens hatred of the Harkonnens as a recruiting tactic, but they weren't helping the fremens by any means. They were planning to trade fremen lives for Atreides power

There are really no "good guys" in Dune. Paul isn't a hero, he's a warning against the concept of heros

It was also not Paul directing the subsequent crusades against the imperium, it was the fremen, who were zealot warriors.

Actually he did - because he saw in a vision that not directing the Jihad would lead to even more death and destruction

Both Paul and Letos reigns defy categorization in a lot of ways simply because a lot of the reasons behind their rule and mechanisms behind their government rely on fictional things (mainly prescience)

I do agree though that Fascist probably isn't the best label here - certainly it was a flavor of totalitarianism in any case

I can say with 110% certainty that I don't need to be forced to not commit genocide. Hell, I don't even need to be forced to commit individual murders. If murder was made legal tomorrow, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't go on a killing spree because I'm no longer forced to not murder.

Talk about telling on yourself, if this is what you genuinely think is true for everyone

Yup, this makes me especially glad I canceled back when they bumped their prices

Dropping subscriber counts are literally the only thing these companies care about

The only work you manually have to do is approve transactions that have been auto imported for you - and that's absolutely a feature, not a bug

Yeah China and India are tentatively siding with Russia right now, but this would put a stop to that in a hot second

Especially since there's literally nothing to be gained beyond dick waving - it's not like they don't already know that their nukes work, sadly nuclear warheads are a solved technology

It's free - but ofc priority for admission is given to his most loyal supporters (IE the ones who donate to his shit the most)

Drinking coffee from my Moccamaster as I type 👌

Only drip machine I've found that can rival a good Ole fashioned pourover
