  • Honestly what isnt a bad approach, buying one used from a hobbyist. You get the full run down of the machine, rarely with a sales pitch and they arent afraid to tell you what theyre selling is NOT what you should be looking for. You also arent, normally, going to be buying a machine with tons and tons of miles on them. Most find craigslist because the machine’s owner upgraded or realized how long its been on a shelf for. Never bought 3d printer but have bought tons of tools like my cnc router, 2 desktop lathes, laser cutter and press brake, all small models I found not really needing them but always looking out for them… I learn more just going to look at them than i do running them loljkjk. Ive ran into this buying used cars too. There is a weird niche of things that cost so much new that most buying them are die hard hobbyists or trying to start a job shop. Either way they know so much about the machine youre buying amd love telling you everything they did with it.


  • That is far from the universal standard especially for non-s&p500 companies who compete against the prices set by the s&p500 companies. In competative markets/industries the importing party doesnt always have controll over when their order ships and what the tariff rates will be at time of shipment. It takes 3-6 months for large import orders to be dwlivered with landed price adjustments. The list price isnt going to fluctuate with every penny movement. The price is dictated by the market price and share of market a company holds. So a lot of times the tariff shock isnt going to find its way to the list price in any less than 3-6month time span. To reiterate, this is for products in a competative market. Your iphones, pc parts, game consoles are not competstive markets. The pipe fitting valve (PVF) industry is a v9mpetative industry. Hundreds of mfgers, accross hundreds if not thousands of skus


  • Huh? They are the best quality delivered by any Commercial AI company. Are you confusing compainies who provide AI as their service with what the actual AI bubble is? The AI bubble is built off companies making promises of what they can provide using AI. They are the ones who cannot deliver. Anthropic is the best performing AI service on the market. They wont cause the AI bubble or its eventual burst. They aren’t valued by what their consumers arent able to provide. Anthropics valuation is based off its own intrinsic factors which is affected by the state of the bubble and again not the cause or blame.


  • Its been so long since ive had or bought a tv, what are the brands that are the least shitty now? I used to always be a samsung everything kinda guy but fuck them now. I wish they never started fucking around with software and stuck to just hardware. Their products from strictly the hardware side are still excellent. My zfold7 is amazing the older gens started rickety but each version i got (so the 3, the 5 and the 7) has been a respectible improvement but the 7 really stepped up the quality. The last samsung tv i got was like 65" curved screen amazing picture but the fucking interface was pure cancer and i will not buy another. My samsung 4k monitors, non-smart normal fridge, and my equally as dumb oven are great and dont have any stupid shit so Ill buy more dumb samsung products lol.




  • Kinda the pot calling the kettle black tho because im pretty sure its the brokers like kalshi who are pumping search results with AI slop like this one just from yesterday. Yes I bit on it. If I win, its cuz Im a genious. If I lose its because I was bug testing if the broker was suseptable to reporting delays. Tons of the sports market terms state spicific aources that are acceptable as confirmation. I saw the bet line, as a Bills fan, I panicked Id have to put up with the POS Hill on my team, googled the bet looking to see what Sal Capaccio or anyother beat reporters had to say. Thats when I saw the AI slop article. Knew it was either fake AI slop or I entertained the very very very slim liklihood that the news couldve been leaked to a pod caster who isnt affiliated with team or news source. So fuck it I placed it and in the mean time I scrolled through the site taking random samples of markets making rhetorical prediction and sure as shit theyre.everywhere.

    Here is the link to the article but it never opens in my browser unless I laste it into incognito tab: https://nationaltoday.com/us/fl/miami/news/2026/02/24/buffalo-bills-sign-veteran-receiver-tyreek-hill/

    Just tested the link and still wont open from th thunder app for lemmy so here is the screenshots:





  • There is no wqay this lawsuit wins. Maybe if her fucking lawsuit actually addressed that the gambling is targeting underage players but instead it just states gambling in new york is illegal… exc3pt certain exceptions which are the ficking lottery, sportsbook gambling, casinos, fantasy sports, bingo halls, bazaars, and race track gambling. But thats just what i could come up with off the top of my head. If i can play fantasy football using services that dont carry all the regulations sports books do, then I dont see how they can enforce this lawsuit for video games.

    Itd be great if it won but im not guna shit in one hand and wish for this lawsuit to pass in the other to see which fills up first.






  • Lol its amazing how Noone in the real world knows that microsoft makes OS’s without all the enshitification shit in them that run decent, dont block features from being disabled, are all around non-infuriating piles of shit like the non-enterprise versions, charge an arm and a leg for it. Then microsoft (or at the same time didnt mean one before the other) releases the functionally identical OS versions but so facefucked full of enshitification shit they constantly break, these versions hold you down with an update pistol in your mouth that tells you inorder to live you will update every fucking shitstorm we tell you to, it rapes yo wife, rapes yo kids, ignores all bugs calling them features, all the while having a bomb strapped to their chest that says you dont accept everything we ruin of yours we blow your whole fucking system sky high. And those versions they call Home and Pro versions.




  • This, normally, is where I Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttt inhaling deeply, while glaring maniacally down my nose at my audience of toddler aged nieces and nephews all taking cover from th3 eruption they knows coming🤓🤯🤠🫤😨🥹😱

    But naaaaaaaa this is the waaay more laid mat me who only twitches their eyelids while grinding my teeth when someone tells me to simmer down🤣

    Edit: seeeeeeeee i was guna Edit the typos out of my reply but I decided fuck it, not laid back me, no way ill tell you. So now my toilet seat is covered in pee cuz this was a two handed edit on the zfold’s big qwerty keyboards while playing piss accuracy by ear.
