Sure there are places houses aren't insanely expensive, but they are generally many hundreds of miles away from where there are jobs available that may pay enough to purchase said house.

Having lived in Europe it amazes me how many Europeans believe that because it's still in the country, it's not all that far. But if you compare directly a few hundred miles is usually in another country in Europe, where in the USA it's more often still in the same state.

So efficiency is what you care about?

The only thing capitalism actually tries to do efficiently is make more profits.

Nope, found my problem with the install of mainsail being a permissions thing.

I'm still running the stock board, but have upgraded to a remote direct drive extruder.

Consentually...... Sounds like a great way for a corporation to groom individuals into people who accept less than a liveable wage.

I don't see anything that helps capitalism being done "responsibly". It's all done in the pursuit of all the money, and as soon as possible. Only rule is don't break laws that have consequences higher than the profits gained.

German language is just older, not necessarily dumber.

I personally see it as more intelligent language, as it's got rules that it follows, instead of the always sometimes but never not rules of English.

Queue is a line of something. Cue is a hint or signal.

Eventually nobody.

Capitalism isn't about sustainability, it's about making the most amount of profit in the shortest amount of time.

Eventuall you bleed everyone dry and nobody has a job. But for a short amount of time the shareholders will have had a huge number of 0's and 1's in a database somewhere equating to their "worth"

Definitely better inside your chest than outside it. So I hear.

Agreed, most people don't really know how far an ev goes on a kWh. In my experience: Trucks average 15-20mpg. Evs average 2.5-4mi/kWh.

Let's take the high of the truck and the low of the ev for comparisons. 8.32/20=0.42/mile gasoline 0.42/2.5=0.17/mile electric

In my case both are cheaper as my fuel is~$4.30/gal, and the car I drive gets 38mpg. (0.11/mile) But also my electricity is 0.12/kWh and my electric car gets average 4mi/kWh. (0.03/mile)

Obviously sabotage.

He weaseled his way into the company and changed an engineers documents without them noticing, causing them to over rate the motor controller......

Or just an over current, which could be as simple as surge when connecting due to a discharged capacitor.

Self fulfilling prophesy that works to generate more profit for the company.

You do understand how much energy (and therefore pollution) it takes to launch any significant mass above the karman line, right?
