I've been eying 3d printers for years before I finally bought one. My main argument for not buying one was always the same: I am not prepared to start tinkering with a utility device. It needs to be on a similar level of a laser printer. I send a job to print to that device and it prints, that's it. Not a 100% comparison of course but it does tell you what my mind set was.

Cue 1 year ago when I noticed the Bambu P1S. Looked at the specs, saw some youtube videos and decided that this might be the time, it is possibly close enough to being a simple usable device.
I bought one and boy, did that device deliver. Load the right filament you want to use, send job to printer and it just prints. The quality is (for me at least) quite bizarre. Some parts I have printed look like it was formed by molding, it is that good.

Nothing but praise and a firm recommendation from me on a Bambu printer.

Note: I have no experience with any other brand (as I avoided all because of stated reasons and not wanting to tinker) and I currently have zero interest in any other brand due to being so happy with my P1S

It will most probably not limit itself with the UK.

The UK is just ripe for the plucking, that country has shown the ability to shoot themselves in the nuts and has proven to be able to elect nutjobs and/or a nutjob party. See Truss, Johnson, Sunak, etc.

Any country that shows social instability, a reasonably strong fascist movement and uproar against people from the left through MAGA terminology will be in his visor as a target. He will then endorse these via his platform and his fortune.

He is willing to see the world burn for personal gain. These gains will come through his companies located all over the world, hence his meddling with these countries.

I appreciate you all for the anecdotes and source materials, some well researched things to ponder!

Here’s my take on it:

I can't remember where I read it, but I've heard that Americans all have guns and love shooting them, so they must have brain damage.

Devil May Cry

Whenever I hear any sound from that game, I am immediately triggered in remembering the from dusk till dawn game nights me and a friend had. Hearing the birds sing was a sign we had to maybe stop and get some sleep. Biking home through the city while the sun rises after a game binge night was surreal.

The 60's messed with us. Two things come to mind:

  1. A large chunk of hippies who I met went fully opposite, they embraced capitalism and the opportunities presented to them due to unlocked access of education and society becoming and being less hierarchical. And then they pulled up the ladder, denying the next generation the same benefits.

  2. Conservatives got collective heart attacks across the globe and a counter movement started to eradicate the things and goals achieved during the 60's. This took a couple of decades but we all know you can count on with conservatives, they have long goal vision and stamina.

So, the generation who got freedoms and opportunities of the likes you will most probably never ever see in your lifetime is almost dead, they will not help out and remedy this, they are done.

And we can see in the world right now what the counter movement of conservatives has achieved, they 'win' at just about every turn, especially politically. This is not likely to go away, it will probably get worse.

Enjoy the results of the 60's, hippies and conservative plans to tackle that pesky freedom and equality shit...

You should, there are not many TV shows as re-watchable as Red Dwarf 😀

Ah yes, the famous escort boots as seen in the Series IV episode "Justice" of the TV show Red Dwarf! 😃

Nope, you keep responding while I told you to cool it and stop acting like a child. And what do you do? Continue like the child you are with, yet again, childish "No You!" level of comments.

Seriously dude, just stop and take the loss and take the medicine.

Zoek hulp.

"No, you!" Kiddo, just stop embarrassing yourself.

Did...did you just reply with something what could only be described as the equivalent of a 4th grade schoolyard retort?

Holy crap, how old are you? Scratch that, do not answer, I don't want to be accused of slapping down a idiotic child.

Have a great day at school kiddo!

It's 19:50 over here Dad, no need to go to bed just yet.

And I am manipulative? Says the person who keeps telling me to go to bed and sleep? :-)

As Max would say: have a nice evening!
