If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • Because tech stocks routinely go way higher than other stocks because they feel there’s a much larger chance of an announcement boosting it to a new high value. Ironically Tesla and spacex are so overvalued that a new high valuation is unlikely to match current stock ticker values. It’s easier to explain as high risk (tech companies for the most part) vs low risk gambling (Amazon, alibaba, pharmaceutical, banking, real estate). They’re all risky, but high risk high reward appeals more to people who have always been bailed out of poor decisions they’ve made.



  • People tend to keep their views and the world was a lot different when they were young. It’s hard for them to see that conditions have changed or that the victims of the change are not the issue because it worked fine for them in ideal conditions to start a family etc.

    They’ve been programmed by American propaganda about rugged individualism to not seek help with internal strife and to be judgemental of those who lean on others, as well as a specifically targeted belief about therapy being unnecessary and wasted money through even most Hollywood depictions.

    It’s not a dead end starting point for someone to change for the better, but it’s a big hill to get over for someone who accepts no advice, especially from those younger than them.

    That all being said, my grandma is in her 80s and is far more progressive than almost every boomer I’ve ever met and even most gen x.


  • I think your effort would be better put towards an enclosure for the whole printer if you don’t already have one.The radiant heat loss of the bed will become a good thing. Lots of people add additional heat time to give the stagnant air time to heat up the enclosure. As others have said though it sorta depends on what you’re printing mostly if it matters at all. PLA is such low temp it’s not difficult for the machine to maintain at all. If you’re doing PC or nylon you may need every advantage you can get.

    For the adhesives conversation, there are quite a few that can cope with high temp. Silicone is probably the best in case you regret it. Other glue could take a coating of your plate off.








  • Not really something smart so much as something consistent. I think there are far too many people with no introspection on their harmful views as it is, and AI confirming their biases is inherently dangerous. Especially because the default tone they chose for every model appears to be picked to speak directly to this specific type of person in the exact way it shouldn’t.
