Only because you took their bikes.

Bike thieves aren’t usually as fast as regular cyclists.

I mean, at the end of the day, we’re talking stepper motors, switches, a resistive heater, (EDIT: or two. Forgot about the heated bed) a thermistor (or two, heated bed again), a few fans. maybe a solenoid. What you’re usually buying with a 3d printer is the hardware and the mechanical engineering that went into it, The on board software is… sufficient, but there’s a reason things like Octoprint and Klipper are so popular.

So people will start distributing presliced gcode.

That’s the universal translator at work. Once you order Earl Grey so many times, it just assumes you want an English accent.

At least that was my comfortable little headcanon before that episode of Picard.

I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of cred for some of his efforts

I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.

What he was doing in and of itself wasn’t bad

What’s not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric

Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour’s work went up. Telling people who can’t afford groceries that everything is great because it’s great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.

Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.

His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.

Nazis don’t get a platform.

Sadly, nazis already have too many platforms.

considering it’s sitting on carpet, I doubt ventilation has been a priority.

Fair.

Look closer. Those are 5.25" floppies, which never had the popularity as save icons that 3.5" floppies did.

One for unionizing, two to cover for closing the store that unionized.

They selectively protect incumbents. They didn’t do a thing to protect Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman, but they protected Henry Cuellar.

Democrats know they have a stranglehold on the primary process, and they know that the results of their interference with the will of the people will be interpreted as apathy on the part of the left.

In order to justify moving to the right.

Printers suck in part because they’re mechanical devices that move paper. They are subject to fatigue and their feed stock is inconsistent, and they are built to a cost so they’re as cheaply made as possible.

But they also suck because manufacturers aren’t content to just sell machines that either put ink on paper or fuse toner to same. They also have to screw people as hard as possible on ink/toner. Which means artificial limitations rather than physical ones. And that’s where they really start to suck.

Haven’t heard that, but would be interested in learning more.

I mean, color printers are with their yellow tracking dots.

Did you know that Northrup Grumman developed the standard USPS mail truck?

This was before the merger. It was just Grumman. They also built the Lunar Module for the Apollo program.

The hair change makes him look like Dr. Tenma from Astro Boy.
