It was Nashville, not Uvalde.

From what I've seen, middle of the road 300 mm Voron V2.4 kits are around $1300. I believe the lowest I've seen was around $950, excluding printed parts (which the same company was selling separately for over $200). When I tried compiling a BOM with self-sourced high quality parts, the total reached over $1700 before I gave up on that idea. Where have you seen $600 kits? If these are still available, I may consider one. However, I'm hesitant to go with a kit that may have lower quality components. Personally, I'm really excited for this new Prusa and will probably pick up a kit once they are available. Unless, of course, Vorons are really that affordable.

A Voron V2.4 for cost of this kit ($950 / 1050 EUR)? Sure buddy.

This is not their first core XY and they redesigned the hotend with the PrusaXL and MK4. As far as I've seen, they are the only printer company using a strain gauge in the hotend for bed leveling, that they also use for detecting clogs while printing. Also, the new printer's price is comparible to the similar model from Bambu with a metal frame and enclosed print bed (X1C). And, as you pointed out, they always maintained the same serviceability (I'll add upgradability). Therefore, I definitely don't agree that they are playing catch up.

You mean scrambled porn, right?

I think that must be post split then. If it was pre-split, those would be $8.75 shares, which is a very good price and you would be way up.

Not sure how that's possible unless you only bought back in 2021. Within the last 2 years, it actually peaked in May of this year around $65. Otherwise, it's been pretty stable around $20-$30. There's been plenty of time to get a low average cost and take profit when it starts running again. Now that they have year-over-year profitability and $4-billion in cash, I expect there will be future opportunities too.

Speed walking and running are distinctly different things.

OP was just walking. Where are you getting this running idea from?

From your source:

{The upper flow is faster and from Bernoulli's equation the pressure is lower. The difference in pressure across the airfoil produces the lift.} As we have seen in Experiment #1, this part of the theory is correct.

Sure, it might be more complicated and there are other forces at play. Also, top and bottom air molecules may not reach the backside of an airfoil at the exact same time, but that doesn't diminish the effects of this pressure differential on lifting force.
