The US currently employs “volunteer” troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it’s a crime to quit.

There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.

I don’t think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don’t go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven’t heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.

Hard disagree. Prusas used to be completely open source. Now they merely have open source components. It isn’t accurate to call them open source.

Would you call Windows or MacOS open source? Both Microsoft and Apple have made parts of their OS’s open source, but that doesn’t mean the entire product is open source.

Besides the others that were mentioned, Prusa is moving away from open source.

That’s a new one, kids called it “paper view” when I was growing up. It’s pay-per-view, and you could get it on cable and satellite too.

A dryer costs about as much as 2 rolls of cheap filament, and if you don’t print very often then you’ll probably waste more than 2 rolls to failed prints. A dry box with desiccant can also work, but it doesn’t remove moisture efficiently - it just keeps things dry, so it won’t recover your wet filament.

On the other hand, if the trick with the heated print bed is working for you, that’s probably good enough. A cheap kitchen scale will tell you if it’s removing moisture.

Maybe something is loose, like the tube that the filament travels through? It definitely seems to be clicking during retractions, but if the print quality isn’t affected then it’s probably not the stepper motor or extruder.

I’m not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I’m pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who’s violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.

Local ordinances can also make things like camping on private property illegal. That would be at the city level, but really an HOA is just another form of local government so I’d argue that counts too.

Local ordinances and HOA CC&Rs can make it illegal to live on your own land unless you meet certain requirements, like having a specific type of permanent building (eg. no manufactured homes).

IMO some people take this too literally. Just because you want to be treated a certain way doesn’t mean other people want to be treated that way.

Depression isn’t the same thing as sadness, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it disqualifies someone from being an astronaut. Most people don’t have depression, but everyone feels sadness at some point in their lives.

To answer your question, astronauts are trained to work under extreme stress, so they would know how to compartmentalize the pain and focus on completing the mission. Similar to soldiers.

Not entirely true… If you write libraries for other developers you can use them as beta testers. Your customers have a production environment, but you don’t. At least, that’s what one of our vendors seems to think…

If your server goes down you’ll miss incoming emails, and IMO residential ISP and power service isn’t reliable enough for your main email address. If mail can’t get delivered people get the impression you gave them a fake email address, which can be more than embarrassing.

It’s the only service I don’t self-hosted, although I do backup my email on my home server. Email protocols don’t tolerate downtime, if your server is temporarily unreachable you won’t get messages and people will probably assume the email address/domain isn’t even valid.

Opioid manufactures also manufacture other drugs, like pharmaceutical grade cocaine. That’s the only connection I can see - I don’t think the cocaine molecule is similar enough to opioids for it so be a useful precursor.

I’m happy to question my own biases, but only when the other party is willing to act in good faith. You clearly aren’t. I checked, and none of your other posts in this thread cite sources that disprove what I’ve said.

Oops, I didn’t realize I was posting on ML. That’s my bad, I should have expected this bias.

For the record, I don’t see any evidence or sources in your responses to me.

Have nice day.
