They’re 100% BlueMAGA in my opinion.

A lot more than six people were holding signs. Nearly the entire Democrat side was last night. The post implies an earlier event.

Yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Those are both great questions. Of course, I can’t predict how all that will shake out. However, to bring it back to my original point, I think either hypothetical will increase the legitimatecy of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

You make some interesting parallels. While Bitcoin is not mined from the Earth like oil, it is similarly mined all-around the world and not just in US jurisdictions. If another country tried manipulating Bitcoin to crash or pump-and-dump after the US becomes a major stakeholder it would be interesting to see how the US responds.

Again, I’m not speaking in favor or against Trump, just exploring the facts.

Sure, in regards to Trump, you can criticize that all you want, but it doesn’t detract from cryptocurrencies becoming more legitimate per your own criteria.

Bitcoin is climbing again today because Trump reaffirmed his intention to create a US cryptocurrency reserve. If state currencies have value because they are backed by the military, wouldn’t this give the same source of value to these currencies? I don’t think the US isn’t going to be happy with outside entities messing with the value of their assets.

I’m convinced Prusa and Bambu pricing is very simular; their printers just aren’t always an apples-to-apples comparison. When considering enclosed, metal framed, coreXY printers, the Prusa Core One can be purchased as a kit for $950, but the Bambu X1C is $1150. (I highly recommend the Prusa kit options for new owners so they can get familiar with maintaining their machine.) At the mini end, you have the same $200 difference, but in the other direction. The Prusa Mini+ kit is $430 while the Bambu A1 Mini is $220. However, these Bambu prices are currently shown as discounted and I’m not sure if they ever go up to their higher MSRPs. Therefore, I don’t like how Prusa is the only printer brand in this guide with an “expensive” warning.

Edit: Perhaps it would add more clarity to instead include the MSRP in parentheses beside the individual printers listed below.

Yes, it makes for a nice buying opportunity.

I can’t recall ever seeing a single profile pic on Lemmy. Even when clicking on a username, all I see are posts, no profile. I honestly didn’t even know there was a profile to edit. I’m primarily on Voyager.

No downvotes from me; just adding my experience to the conversation.

I’m not sure what you’re woooshing here. If your saying that you were being sarcastic and you do recognize they were using affordable hardware, then that was understood. That’s exactly what I was responding to.

They used their Prusas and cheap filament to print pipe fittings that exceeded residential plumbing pressure requirements by 4-8x across the different materials. Filament cost was 3-17x cheaper than commercial fittings. Overall this study was a success. I think this price-point of printer hardware is a perfect match for the application. Any quality improvements from a more expensive “professional” printer would be wasted on these kinds of simple, low-precision designs.

Yes we are talking about home-teir 3D printers here. They used a Prusa MK3S printer and Prusa XL in this study. Also, they tested PLA in addition to PETG and ASA.

I’m not saying it’s a wash in terms of price. Instead, I’m saying it doesn’t send a message through some tally of sells for the day, because buys and sells are at a 1:1 ratio.

A sell doesn’t happen without a buyer on the other end. It’s a wash when it comes to messaging.

Even if they continue loosing $34-million each quarter, it will take over 33 years to go bankrupt with the current $4.6-billion cash on hand.

Seriously though, I see that earnings per share was positive for 2024. How is that possible if revenue has been negative since 2018?

A recall costs money for a corporation to perform. A project like astroid deflection is an opportunity to funnel more government spending into the pockets of defense and space contractors. These are not the same.

S&P500 closed at an all-time high yesterday. It’s not just up relative to a downturn.

Hey, got any grapes?

I have auto update disabled and only selectively update individual apps. However, I still found this installed and promptly uninstalled it.

Nice glizzy guide!
