Think, if they started from the top they could retain talent and remove the easily replaceable dead wood. Based on the chairman apparently having a $1.1 billion net worth, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need any further income for instance.

Not sure how my experience stacks up but I have been getting performance equivalent to the Bambu PETG out of the Elegoo I have been buying recently on my P1S. A little bit of stringing but that seems to have a lot to do with recent humidity as a pass through the filament dryer has been rectifying it. Just ran 2 rolls of the Red PETG Rapid through for my mates packout accessories, and before that I did a bunch of cleats for his tool wall in some Black PETG.

Did a good enough job that he rather kindly bought his wife a P1S for her birthday when the Black Friday sales hit. She has turned that around and run the printer non-stop since it arrived and only about 40% of that has been prints for him. 😆

So to maintain AI supremacy the US will now phase out all climate targets and begin the great AI vs Climate Collapse race.

People around the world will be on tenterhooks as they see AI get out to an early lead as politicians fire anyone who can call out the ever so subtle “Unprecedented Events”.

Gaze in wonder as climate strikes back by disrupting society with apocalyptic weather events to attempt supply chain disruption.

Watch in rapt disgust as the AI instructs the puppet like mouth pieces to pay lip service to citizens while doubling down on supply and logistic support while restricting the publics access to the same.

AI vs Climate Collapse: No matter who wins we lose

So I ask out of serious curiosity, when you say over regulation, are we talking safety, environmental, financial?

I ask because the willingness of companies to pay workers in another country to engage in practices that are prohibited in the first country seems like corporate exploitation.

If it’s due to environmental regulation that seems to be a case where often an environmentally friendlier way of performing a lot of processes exists, but it costs more money, so companies choose to exploit weaker regulation somewhere that hasn’t caught up to not poisoning the planet to benefit companies. Plus a lot of companies hate being told to clean up after themselves and would prefer to simply leave an area once they have extracted maximum value from it.

As for financial, look, I am Australian, here we have historically benefitted from a strong labour movement that has granted us livable wages, paid sick leave etc, however our rich people are doing everything in their power to roll back and undermine that.

In each case the problem seems in my opinion to revolve around a class of extremely wealthy shitheels who want to make all the money and they will take the path of least resistance to make that happen. Perhaps, Internationally we need to view the existence of billionaires as a critical failure of our systems and either legislate to prevent them from occurring, or find some way to drastically increase the hazard levels associated with trying to gather that much wealth in the first place.

I personally doubt that Tariffs will meaningfully change the manufacturing landscape internationally, I think Trump tanking the US economy will however increase desperation and lead US citizens to compromise on the conditions they will work under, in effect lowering the expectations of US workers to the point they will be willing to compete with off shore workers.

You and I define mixing pot radically differently.

I have nothing but sympathy for the country as it was the victim of imperialist games being.played by much larger nations. However I am already outspokenly critical of the government of my own country where some legal safety nets exist to protect me from government reprisals. I am not the sort of person who could easily remain uncritical of an authoritarian regime, visiting would likely be bad for my health.

I am not basing this on being propagandised to or swallowing a line, I am basing it on a series of conversations I had with a Korean I found sincere and believable, certainly to a greater extent than randoms on here.

I have deep seated reservations with the Kim family, I don’t blame the people of North Korea for them but I personally would not visit without radical social change.

Ironically this is EXACTLY the stance I take on the USA and the Trump family, which I am sure a lot of people in this community would agree with.

I don’t claim the cuisine is Israeli, I had a friend who went to Israel in the 90s and remarked that there were places where she could get food from just about anywhere in the world, usually prepared by people from that region. It’s a shame that such a diverse culinary experience is something I will never experience as I never want to visit the country for reasons of culture, religion, politics etc.

Over here in Australia the government is being told that the equivalent that we are having foisted on us lacks key supporting measures (like an equivalent of GDPR, actual hard and fast laws to penalise the misuse or failure to adequately secure citizens data, etc).

In spite of this and genuine commentary from children’s advocacy groups saying the legislation is not fit for purpose it is being steamrolled through because “won’t somebody think of the children”.

It does make me wonder how many children are going to be cut off from their support networks and escape routes that this might harm, potentially fatally. How much blood of Australia’s youth is our government willing to have on its hands so that our intelligence community (and we are part of five eyes so it doesn’t stay on our shores) can have a shiny new toy?

You know I completely missed which community this was. Let’s just agree that your perspective and mine will never align on certain topics and leave it on an amicable note.

Yeah you got me there, which is a shame because I have heard good things about the culinary scene as it’s such a mixing pot of different regional and cultural influences. That goes no way towards wanting to show any level of support for the regime or the state though.

I’m trying to think of a place I want to visit less than the USA, I mean North Korea is a given.

Now simply provide ID to every website or app that has any social interaction component, after all the only way to protect our children is to submit to a massive invasion of privacy.

What do you mean this runs the risk of hurting marginalised and or abused children who lose an avenue to seek help and guidance to escape or ameliorate their situation?

Stop understanding nuance and prepare for the line our intelligence community wants you to swallow instead.

In all seriousness if social media is too corrosive for young people maybe its time it was banned entirely, the reason for these half measures has little to do with children and their safety and everything to do with removing all privacy and anonymity from online activities.

It’s almost like destroying side loading was a pre-emptive damage mitigation strategy to maintain an iron grip while surrendering a small portion of the appearance of control they maintain.

So instead of forcing them to sell off android, or silo it with a legal structural separation and say billion dollar fines for each breach, they are getting out of this with an arbitrary amount of money changing hands and hand shake deals with the least amount of regulatory interference they can manage.

Absolutely filthy ideas. A social safety net for citizens? Thats a corporate prerogative get your hands off it peasants.

Affordable housing? Won’t someone think of the poor investors, they can barely afford their small fleet of yachts.

Affordable healthcare? How would the poor employers ever compel their wage slaves to work themselves to death if the alternative death sentence wasn’t available.

Affordable groceries? I think you will find Trump has already solved this, if you can’t afford to eat a substandard meal every 2nd day that sounds like a you problem, did you even try to be born into generational wealth.

You are so right, socialism is just plain evil. After all it’s never worked anywhere that it’s been left to develop without external forces doing everything they can to destabilise and delegitimise it.

As a filthy foreigner who just doesn’t get why America is the way it is I wonder if you could actually conceive of how socialism would bring material benefits to you? I am just going to assume you are not part of the limited sub section of society that would “suffer” under socialism, specifically the multi-millionaire/billionaire class.

Plus a single mayor being a socialist, even a hardcore ideologically pure socialist, would bring a tiny of sliver of socialism to your capitalist hellscape, is capitalism so fragile that having that tiny enclave of barely socialism would seriously endanger it?

Anyone using a Version Control system to do 3d design work, if I was smart I would be using this for the stuff I design to 3d print. But I’m not so I just have directories full of STL and 3MF files with occasionally somewhat descriptive names. Oh or 3d artists working on games, videos etc. People who are doing architectural design? Just people with other random interests? I suck at staying organised but I gave Forgejo a go and as long as you follow the getting started guide and keep it on an internal network its pretty straightforward to get started, complexity goes up if you are wanting to use it externally or in more co.plicated scenarios I believe.

Wow thanks for your contribution scammer.

So I have a genuine question if you don’t mind indulging me. Are you into trolling people or are the beliefs you espouse your sincerely held beliefs?

Ever wonder why she uses the letter S three times to spell her name… She is potentially the most unpopular, unelectable Liberal leader in recent history, and the last two were nicknamed Voldemort and Scummo. She is just making noises so people don’t forget she exists, if we didn’t have the media ownership class that we do she would be effectively invisible.

I do love when I talk to my neighbour about what Sky News assures him the Labor government is doing and it’s all imaginary shit, the most recent was an empty bed tax, a move that was proposed by an industry think tank to increase turn over of high value properties. The think tank in question just so happens to be backed by… The real estate industry. But Sky News and Facebook told him that it was on the Labor agenda so thats just a fact as far as he is concerned and his vote counts for as much as mine does…

That being said Australians do have a mile wide conservative streak I’m sure it’s the former British colony in us.

Wow does your offer include Premium Netflix and Amazon Prime? Because the other scammers who are offering me IPTV are bundling Netflix and prime thanks to their exclusive relationships and I wouldn’t want to blindly hand my credit card details over to someone who can’t build exclusive (and implausible) relationships!
