The tail boom is massive compared to a sports car but I think the folded-up package looks not bigger than a giant American SUV.

Speaking as one who routinely has trouble parking a motor home and driving over curbs with it — this big awkward-looking vehicle doesn’t look like a great city-car but it does not compete with motor homes for the awkwardness prize.

Maybe they wanted to be ver very sure you weren’t covering a not-working period /s

How does the construction app know what needs to be constructed and how?

How does the waiter app know which table ordered what, needs attention, etc?

How does the IT app know on which port every device is connected?

These things are all real hard to know. Having glasses that display the knowledge could be really nice but for all these magic future apps, having a display is only part of the need.

The thing about the more affluent areas is they generally don’t shoot people there very much.

My six-year-old and my eight-year-old started fighting and chasing each other around on a skinny trail at the top of the Grand Canyon with very long drop-offs and no fences to either side.

They didn’t die, then, but each time I remember it again they are at risk of being murdered

The way it works for power over Ethernet — and I assume USB power delivery must work the same way — is that it does not reduce bandwidth because they run the power and the signal over the same wires at the same time.

There is a a power injector at one end and a filter at the other end that separate out the high-frequency signal and the DC (no-frequency) power into different wires.

This is essentially the same thing as they’re already doing for multi-frequency stacking on those same wires (and on fiber) to get the crazy bandwidth in the first place. DC power is just one more low (very very low) frequency running on the same stack.

I’m not saying “inflation means prices go up” I’m saying “inflation means prices went up”. There can be many things that cause prices to go up, inflation is one result of any such cause and of course then causes many things itself including further inflation.

In your scenario that’s inflation caused by price fixing. You seem to be saying these things are mutually exclusive but I don’t understand why you would say that.

Companies deciding to raise prices (for any reason — justified or not) is what inflation is made of.

Inflation just means “prices went up.”

Jesus wtf?

Alright, need some kids on here who grew up hearing sex please to tell me how it did or didn’t fuck them up…. Anyone?

Cuz um we might have had some thin walls

If it cost more than half, get rid of it at the first opportunity.

I don’t think this part is really right. Buy a newer car because you want a newer car (and can afford it) or because your old car can’t do the job you need anymore. Newer car is almost never going to save you money.

If you have an old paid-off car that is worth basically nothing on paper but in good shape and runs well for you, and it needs a repair, it’s almost always going to be cheaper to do the repair.

If you get a more expensive car from a dealer (new or used) the car payments and interest are so much higher than even ongoing frequent repair costs it’s just crazy.

Even in OPs story replacing the engine — I don’t know what else was wrong with it — but if they put $6K into a new engine and next year $1K into brakes and next year $1K into tires that’s still way less money than just three years of interest payments on a nice new CRV. That’s not even counting the down payment and the principal!!

You might have lots of reasons besides money to replace a car, but that’s a question whether the cost is worth it, not a question of whether it’s cheaper

The place in my mind when the old car is no longer economical to repair is when:

• The repair can’t really fix it eg the body is rusting away etc. Car is done unless you rebuild the whole thing, too bad time to say goodbye

• frequent breakdowns, even small cheap easily fixed breakdowns, mean you can’t get to work and lose money or risk your job (consider if the breakdowns are related cause though — maybe you need to replace all old rotted rubber hoses and exposed gaskets in the car all at once and it will be reliable again? Making an unreliable car become reliable again requires you or somebody you trust knows something about cars to decide; most people can’t do this)

• the repair (including rental car or lost work due to downtime, which can be more than the actual mechanic cost but totally counts just the same as a cost to you) is more than the cost of whatever vehicle you’re going to replace it with — this… mostly doesn’t happen. putting $6K repair plus $800 for two weeks’ car rental into replacing the engine on a otherwise-$10K old Versa is still cheaper even than buying somebody else’s $10K old Versa in running condition (by $2200 + tax + registration) — let alone a newer car.

Bambu is working on it already — can’t print unless you’re connected to the internet and send your files through their server, can’t connect to the printer with other slicers besides their slicer.

They had to walk that back some; there is now a “developer mode” where old standard functionality is still exposed, but they’re clearly working as hard as they can to turn it shitty.

They can’t be specific in the legal note because that would close their options and prevent them from auctioning off every month to the new highest bidder.

They certainly could keep a page of what they’re currently selling to whom, but even if it was innocuous (doubtful) that would again put them in the news every time they changed it.

Tried and true legal PR strategy: say nothing and hope the attention goes away
