Elno reminded him he owns both X and Trump.

Musk is on K.

Ah yes, those pesky 'laws' and 'regulations' 'protecting' the 'public interest'. Poor Elno and Trump. Always being prosecuted. Wait, persecuted. Yeah.

Unfortunately an heir apparent isn't readily... Apparent in my eyes. All have tradeoffs. To be fair, Bambu did too but hid it better from most consumers.

Qidi isn't terrible, and they have a decent track record. Their use of klipper is a big plus as well. But multi material is still a promise with no release or reviews, and they have had some duds in their history.

Prusa is an obvious option, and previously wore the crown. They're a good bit more expensive, but perhaps that's the cost of a highly ethical company that is deeply invested in the community. MMU is well understood and works great, but isn't integrated in their latest printers yet.

Voron is amazing but absolutely still not for beginners. Besides that they lack for absolutely nothing. Some kits are approaching the user friendliness of pre built, but care and feeding is generally a more technical endeavor.

Creality is a good place to start generally, but lacks for features.

Long story short, if a friend approached me and demanded a recommendation, I'd push a casual user to Qidi, a demanding user to a Prusa, and a tinkerer to a Creality with the understanding I'll be printing voron parts in a year or two

You continue to post responses to my evidence, but seem to refuse to engage with that evidence in any meaningful way.

Further, your posts are becoming more and more pedantic, insulting, and condescending.

I can tell you're not invested in a respectful discussion, but rather in a platform for your ranting.

I'll leave you to it and won't respond further.

Last time he had opposition inside his party. Powerful people who didn't want to rock the boat, the 'old guard's. He had a split supreme court. He had a pandemic that slowed and in many ways prevented his plans.

Well, unfortunately, those old guard conservatives have largely been purged. The supreme court has been packed. And while pandemics are not entirely common, people have been lulled into a false sense of security and are unlikely to respond the same.

I don't expect us to lose our vote. But I do expect voter suppression to escalate dramatically.

I don't expect ethic cleansing, but I expect a lot of racial violence and escalating racial tensions.

I don't expect world war, but I do expect a massive erosion of global diplomacy and many minor conflicts.

Most of the people who voted for him are largely brainwashed and uninformed or misinformed. Often times they're scared or mistrusting rather than hateful.

I don't call them Nazi's, and I sincerely hope we can bring many of them back into reality.

But anyone who has paid attention to his rhetoric, his plans, his platform and still voted for it. Well there's a word for people who supported the Nazi party in Germany but didn't support the war or the ethnic cleansing. Nazis. They were called Nazis.

Trump literally brags about studying Hitlers speeches. His father was a well known Nazi sympathizer.

Trump often uses Nazi rhetoric and sologans. The examples of these are extremely numerous and no other broadly supported American politician has been caught as often, all but assuring dog-whistling.

Neo-Nazis openly back Trump and are in his inner circle. They've been caught with swastika flags and tattoos, SS tattoos, 88 tattoos, often ending merchandise on Trump's own websites with $X.88, lifting their arms in a Sig Heil at rallies, etc etc etc etc.

Trump has been asked to condemn his Neo-Nazi supporters and their racial violence, and he refuses.

If it quacks like a Nazi, acts like a Nazi, and literally claims to be a Nazi- we should call it a Nazi.

Agreed, net/net energy usage reduction is more efficient. However, carbon capture and/or geoengineering are now unfortunately necessary in tandem with reducing emissions for humanity (and the other species unfortunate enough to be sharing this planet with our mistakes) to avoid the worst outcomes of climate change. We simply didn't do enough soon enough, and several warming effects are already in motion.

And unfortunately, both climate deniers and activists alike have been fighting against additional funding and research in these technologies, so we're pretty far behind in our understanding.

You'd probably enjoy City of Brass and it's sequels. Extremely unique, well written, exciting, and lots of twists and turns.

It does follow a couple of conspiracies as a central plot point though. Adventure mixed with political thriller.

I have read the case.

I don't enrich myself by using an adblocker. And I certainly don't enrich myself at other's expense.

That's like saying bank robberies being illegal mean that going to the bank is illegal.

Honey is unlawful because of what they DO by changing those URLs and cookies, e.g enriching themselves at the expense of creators.
