Although, I’ve never thought of South Korea nor Japan as somewhere I wouldn’t want to live.
Both have a national culture extremely focused on work, careers and personal financial success with a terrible work/life balance. SK especially has such a crazy focus on academics and careers that kids spend 12-14 hours a day strictly studying to try and get into better colleges, and developing a relationship is completely ignored.
Mind you, bringing production back to the US will never lower costs, completely regardless of the fact that labor and environmental compliance is more costly. All tariffs do is set a price floor for imported products that domestic supplies now only have to match.
While thats true in the real long run during stable times, that also assumes there are not overt outside pressures forcing the market in one direction.
Trump does not bring stable times and is actively sabotaging economic stability.
haha this was the only way I ever got anything submitted in college and was able to still get high grades
wait what do you mean I'm now incapable of self regulating my time at a professional job without steady deadline flow and am a permanent procrastinator that is wholly "unmotivated"?
That's why I said "for now". I was mulling buying in after the election when corporate interests were riding high on a "pro business" President. But I didn't. Now I have that cash free to buy in when we hit the bottom of the slump, if there is a bottom...
IMO having the ability to do TPU is way more versatile than going to another rigid structural filament.
ABS/ASA is just "pla but more impact resistant".
TPU is "haha funny squishy wait this turns into a living hinge?" and opens up a TON of print opportunities.
I had a lot more fun trying out TPU (both high and low durometers) than switching to any other kind of filament. Whatever you print basically becomes shockproof l, is squishy/bendy, and you can chuck it across a room full-force with no problems. Super fun.
However, TPU is happiest with a direct drive extruder. High durometer (95a) TPU's are fine, but not optimal, in bowden extruders, while low durometer (Ninjaflex) straight up won't print right thru a bowden. So keep your type of printer in mind when shopping for spools of test filament.
Sucks to suck, maybe you should think about consequences before becoming a nazi.
Oh and he even pulled out the "use my daughter as sympathy bait" card. Classic snowflake!
Oops, I must have gotten it confused with one of the other 4,000 stories of weird religious people getting caught raping kids
