I've been eying 3d printers for years before I finally bought one. My main argument for not buying one was always the same: I am not prepared to start tinkering with a utility device. It needs to be on a similar level of a laser printer. I send a job to print to that device and it prints, that's it. Not a 100% comparison of course but it does tell you what my mind set was.
Cue 1 year ago when I noticed the Bambu P1S. Looked at the specs, saw some youtube videos and decided that this might be the time, it is possibly close enough to being a simple usable device.
I bought one and boy, did that device deliver. Load the right filament you want to use, send job to printer and it just prints. The quality is (for me at least) quite bizarre. Some parts I have printed look like it was formed by molding, it is that good.
Nothing but praise and a firm recommendation from me on a Bambu printer.
Note: I have no experience with any other brand (as I avoided all because of stated reasons and not wanting to tinker) and I currently have zero interest in any other brand due to being so happy with my P1S
It will most probably not limit itself with the UK.
The UK is just ripe for the plucking, that country has shown the ability to shoot themselves in the nuts and has proven to be able to elect nutjobs and/or a nutjob party. See Truss, Johnson, Sunak, etc.
Any country that shows social instability, a reasonably strong fascist movement and uproar against people from the left through MAGA terminology will be in his visor as a target. He will then endorse these via his platform and his fortune.
He is willing to see the world burn for personal gain. These gains will come through his companies located all over the world, hence his meddling with these countries.
I commend your ability to garner hope. It is misplaced in my opinion but I admire it none the less.
Won the presidency
Won the senate
Won the house
Won the popular vote
Like I said, you have an admirable attitude to keep seeing hope, I on the other hand am a realist and see loss across the board.
The only positive for me is that I am old so I have seen shifts towards a alternate political spectrum before plus I am not American so I try to buffer myself as best I can to avoid mental anguish in seeing a country I admire(d) and love(d) slide into fascism.
As per Winston Churchill : You can count on Americans doing the right thing, after exhausting all the other possibilities
I can only try to share your hope and place America in the "other possibilities" category at the moment and will rise to the occasion to be and do better.
For now I will be a casual onlooker and see what the current state of the US is, a choice of Americans to be governed by megalomaniac fascistic idiots. Who am I to deny them that choice? I have had no say in this choice so I will not be brought down mentally by the horror of said choice.
You just had an election where all was known about trump and republicans/conservatives and had the chance to alter course and defeat fascism/racism.
They won and not just won, the fascists won by a huge margin and took all branches. Perhaps there will be some changes and alterations in the final results due to some corrections or whatever but bottom line is: America chose a fascist as president and a fascist party to support him in doing his bidding. It's not even a question anymore whether America is by and large a fascist and racist country, the cards went on the table and the results are in: it is.
You lost and it was democratic, this is what America wants. Buckle up, you are in for a nasty ride. You can thank the American electorate for that, i.e. America, your neighbors and fellow countrymen.
Your shit was collected, sorted and got together, just as the US wanted.
And before someone starts to harp on about interference or lack of votes due to apathy or some weird 3rd 'party' siphoning votes from the democrats. Does not matter one bit, these arguments hold no significant water, not enough to change the outcome. By letting yourself be influenced or staying at home or voting 'green' we can conclude that this is what America gravitates towards by dumbness, disinterest or being easily fooled.
Sorry for the wall of frustrated text, it just boggles the mind how a country can be this stupid...
Whenever I hear any sound from that game, I am immediately triggered in remembering the from dusk till dawn game nights me and a friend had. Hearing the birds sing was a sign we had to maybe stop and get some sleep. Biking home through the city while the sun rises after a game binge night was surreal.
A large chunk of hippies who I met went fully opposite, they embraced capitalism and the opportunities presented to them due to unlocked access of education and society becoming and being less hierarchical. And then they pulled up the ladder, denying the next generation the same benefits.
Conservatives got collective heart attacks across the globe and a counter movement started to eradicate the things and goals achieved during the 60's. This took a couple of decades but we all know you can count on with conservatives, they have long goal vision and stamina.
So, the generation who got freedoms and opportunities of the likes you will most probably never ever see in your lifetime is almost dead, they will not help out and remedy this, they are done.
And we can see in the world right now what the counter movement of conservatives has achieved, they 'win' at just about every turn, especially politically. This is not likely to go away, it will probably get worse.
Enjoy the results of the 60's, hippies and conservative plans to tackle that pesky freedom and equality shit...
Nope, you keep responding while I told you to cool it and stop acting like a child.
And what do you do? Continue like the child you are with, yet again, childish "No You!" level of comments.
Seriously dude, just stop and take the loss and take the medicine.
Yep, I said what I said. I truly believe George is making stuff up and Max tells the truth.
See, you believe some things were said, perhaps the bit about Max driving into George and putting his f*cking head into the wall? And you are calling me out? :-)
And we all have bias, I will just not lie about it unlike...others.
If that person shows me who they are, then yes.
It's not on me to have never met you in person so your online presence and comments you make are what we have to go by. Are you surprised about this?
So first you play it mild and make a comment on how this could be a rather unfortunate "like father like son" situation.
But Then!
You show your true feelings and thoughts, you actually believe he will do this and drive George into a wall.
Just like George, you are being two faced and a sneak, trying to manipulate people by making stuff up or painting someone as a potential murderer. Next time you want to join a discussion, be open and put your thoughts clearly on the table.
But you won't, I believe it is not in your nature to be straight forward, just as we are witnessing with George.
"I will purposely go out of my way to put you on your f****** head in the wall"
This is George speak, this is not something Max said either, it just does not sound right. But if you think about how George would phrase this sentence then it absolutely 100% tracks. This is his version of what he thinks Max would say and sound like and he formulated that sentence in his head, ready to be used in public to try and steer the conversation and "guilt" towards Max.
The more I think about it the more I realize how much of a snake that little boy george is...
