You are right, 100db is only like a motorcycle. As loud as a motorcycle but only 12mm? Not Impressed! Get it together little fish!

The real surprise is that anyone trusted google about anything in the first place.

Its posts like this that ensure I’ll have a job for years to come. Comments are worthless too, I mean, just read the code!

I’m curious to how close this tracks with population growth.

Prusa Link/Connect also has this.

Just like “unlimited vacation.” Whenever someone says it you know there is something going on and you aren’t going to like it.

They also pulled this bait and switch on Universities.

I think at Disney Worlds Animal Kingdom in the Avatar ride queue they have some pretty cool examples of this. I always wondered how they did it and now I know.

I don’t know why anyone would disparage anyone taking care of their own kids. The “workforce” sucks and people should be ashamed they’ve been convinced a “career” is something they should aspire to at all costs. Maybe instead of giving people money to pay for child care they should give people money and just let them stay home and enjoy being with their children.

I do not know the reference. Is it that people claim the middle lanes are faster?

But I do know that a lot of people across a lot of topics over estimate their ability because they don’t know what they don’t know. Science as a topic isn’t special in this regard.

Jr devs are great examples. Your code is garbage and I am brilliant, just let me change this thing here and OH MY THE SYSTEM IS BROKE PLEASE HELP ME! Intermediate knowledge and negative attitudes.

Intermediate [insert topic here] knowledge associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes.

Topics: Science, Sports, Cooking, Driving, Programming… literally anything.

I didn’t need a study to know this.

Lots of people can tell the difference and simply don’t care. I care about black levels but I don’t pretend that people who don’t care are clueless.

But you can still pass in the right lane. So a slow driver in the left lane has someone riding their tail and are also getting passed in the right so they can’t even change to the slow lanes anymore. Add in left exits, moving over for vehicles on the shoulder, and speed limits that adjust based on road conditions and you have the perfect storm of it only being enforced in the worst cases.

The US version (varies by state) of the fast lane is garbage which is why nobody follows it. If you want a passing lane then you need a non passing lane and I don’t think US drivers are willing to make that concession.

Well in my opinion the kids who were working in factories were working on the latest tech. It most definitely sucked and was horrible but the experiences would have prepared them for what the US needed.

I think the equivalent today would be forcing kids to do tech work, as we are out of the industrial age and into the Information Age. But tech work isn’t dirty and going to kill you so there is less incentive to force it on marginalized groups.

That’s why I think it was maybe just a perfect storm of circumstances.

From my understanding Japan didn’t have much child labor, and while I think they had less natural resources, their war production was dwarfed by the US war production. The US pivoted so fast I think at one point in a single month they built more aircraft or boats than the entire war for Japan.

I do think that the time period and what the kids were doing were an important part of it. Being at the late stage of the industrial age and early stage of the machine age made them familiar with exactly what the US would need and used to the sacrifices and hard work it would require. I don’t think you could in good faith compare it to modern day meat packing or farm labor though I agree many would like to make them the same.

One thing I often wonder is if the US could have pulled off WW2 without these kids having this experience. They would have been at their prime at the time and would have had the grit and know how to get stuff done that maybe the following or previous generations wouldn’t have. I’m not condoning it in any way, just something I ponder.

The only thing important part is “these books are banned” and “these books are encouraged.” That you don’t care about the specifics says more about you than the ban.

That’s an interesting take... Like, you can write any book you want using the English language, as long as you use Kanji to write it down? You wouldn’t consider that a problem?

But regardless you are only reinforcing the point that it was a real ban. The fact that they were banned and the books they didn’t want banned were encouraged really only continues to make my case.

Right, there is not shared meaning, so maybe that’s the point of my post. To me 19th century Lithuanians had a real book ban, as I as an American, think about them.

If a school decided to ban Twinkies from their lunch menu I wouldn’t say we have a food ban crisis that the state of Illinois would need to legislate. A parent could still buy Twinkies at home and enjoy them as often as they wanted.

I would argue then that every American you know (including you) is a tiny bit wrong? I (and everyone I know) consider a book ban to be something like when 19th century Russia stated that no book could be written in Lithuanian. That’s a proper book ban. It was illegal to even own a book written in that language, and books that did exist were destroyed. Russia did book bans right! To say what’s going on now is a “book ban” that requires legislation is gas lighting at best and a false flag at worst.

I think the ops point was that even if they want to, they don’t want to. I can’t comment on the MN light rail now as I haven’t been on it for a few years, but the green line used to be essentially an open air drug market and the blue line I almost got stabbed. Add in a few instances of homeless on homeless violence and driving starts looking like a great option. That’s not even covering how poorly ran it is. I want to ride it… but I don’t want to ride it.

I don’t think “the solution” exists because the problem at its core is people and you can’t solve people. If blocking apps reduces the problem even a tiny bit it is just one more preventative tool to add to the tool box. Why limit your toolbox?

That’s true of nearly everything though. That lock on your front door? I can easily bypass it but yet you still have it. Anyone determined enough can do almost anything. But throw a wide enough net and at least you can prevent the casual and lazy offenders. Also I think prevention is an ongoing thing not a one and done thing. You shouldn’t say “oh I put a dns block on YouTube so now I don’t need to follow up on my kids” and I feel a lot of parents do just that.

I’d guess most people, in the US at least, are employed at-will and could be fired right on the spot with no cause given. The problem with that though is you could turn around and file for unemployment which might end up increasing the associated taxes for them with increased headaches.

I’d agree that most reasonable HR departments wouldn’t let it go that far but some people like to play dirty irrespective of the costs.

I don’t know they’d have to award you wages, but the only alternative to that would be firing you. Some might try to do that out of spite but it would be far worse for them than you.

Whenever I read these articles about being kinder in the truth, which I think people can be, I think there needs to be a follow up about how you should also be more accepting of the truth. One side should work to be less offensive and the other side to be less offended. It seems like the articles are always for one side and I’m not sure why that is.

I built an enclosure for my prusa out of a 20 dollar tub, so I don’t consider an enclosure like a big thing because they are easy to make. If I didn’t bespoke my own I would have made the ikea enclosure.

I can print tou all day, you can’t really compare the mini because it’s not direct drive and it’s a Bowden. I bet if you had a proper MK3 you wouldn’t have any issues with your filaments. The mini is the mini for a reason. I want to do asa and nylon but the fumes… eww

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. It sounds like you are saying that because they are factory calibrating it, it’s not needed… so then it’s not needed? What does it matter if it’s less than ideal if it produces satisfactory results? Results are the only thing that matter and Prusa is consistent with producing them so I’m not sure why this is different?
