  • Sadly - now what? This man is going from the only housing, food, “health care” and routine his adult life has ever known, to a society not equipped to help anyone adapt to life within it. He has an intellectual disability and schizophrenia, is likely largely unskilled for today’s workforce. If his representation were to pursue a claim and he were to win a payout, he is probably not equipped to manage that money and would become a target for people wishing to relieve him of it.

    I’m not saying for a moment that he should stay in prison, what I’m saying is that it’s a damning indictment on society, and government priorities that this man will probably be no safer, no less stressed, no more able to thrive and enjoy his later years in life, than if her were to remain in prison. I worry that unless this legal activist is prepared to dedicate years of personal investment of time and energy facilitating this man’s life out in the world, we’re watching a lamb being thrown to the wolves.











  • Oh crikey - I def didn’t drink the flavor-aid. I bought the printer, I’m using it stock with BS to start with and so far it seems acceptable to me. I loved orca and am very willing to make environment changes the moment this setup doesn’t meet my needs. I’m just pleasantly surprised that it’s not the all-but-guaranteed shit show the transition was made out to be.

    For a philistine member of the proletariat like me - just wanting to fix shit that’s broken or bust out practical shit - it fits the bill for me. It’s not a McLaren, I bought the Hyundai.

    Same page with local LAN mode and non-Bambu filaments. I want the outcome not the process.



  • Hey friend! I was genuinely surprised when there was a seemingly prevailing preference between the two stables. I had never used 3D printers before and I was blown away by how easy the ender was to use. No shade at all.

    I was really gobsmacked to experience the marked increase in built in “nice to have”/“QA features that I hadn’t experienced the first time round. I had no reason to upgrade from the ender based on my experience. It was no longer available to me and I had to buy my own and as a result of said research - the A1 has really impressed me.

    Horses for courses. If I hadn’t now used the A1, I’d have no reason to be discontent.

    I’m sure another model will come along at some point that makes me want to jump up another level.

    In all honesty, the ender was great, made sense, I was learning it and it did what I expected and wanted… the difference is I’ve learned there is more available.

    No complaints about the ender at all - I just realised, through a transition that wasn’t by choice, that there was something (on initial impression) that outclasses it.

    If I hadn’t lost the ender, I may never have looked at something else.




  • Sorry man, that’s freaky. Dude sounds unhinged. What info do you have on him from Facebook? The info he says he has on you - how much did he actually prove by stating it? Could be that he just got the minimum info and is making the most of it to make it sound like he knows a lot more.

    When you spoke to him, what kind of accent did he have? Did he sound local?

    Can I ask how you know it was him calling your wife? How were you guys able to block his number without being able to view it?




  • Honestly, I’m just wondering if Trump is so accustomed to people bending the knee that when someone rocks up and tells him to his face that he’s nothing special, he becomes the sycophant because he needs everyone to love him. It’s not about the power. The abuse of power is largely about exercising the limits of his popularity to prove to himself he has worth and value. Seeing how far his own sycophants will stretch is his way of feeling meaningful and important, quite likely trying to prove that to his dead father. Kim Jong Il is his ideal. He could kill someone in the middle of Pyongyang Ave and no one would bat an eye.

    It doesn’t hurt that Mamdani is the new fave son of the city Trump cannot win over no matter what he does, no matter what title he holds.

    New York is a proxy for Trump’s dad. He’s always gonna be a disappointment to his father, and will go to his grave having never bathed in the glow of his father’s pride.

    It’s quite the magic trick - Mamdani turned Trump into the world’s first Orange pander bear.
