From your other responses to this post, it seems like your primary beef with Diva was their anti-war stances in their post history. You can't play the paradox-of-tolerance card in response to that. To make your other strawmen relatable, are you saying Diva's comments are in any way fascist or transphobic? I haven't seen any intolerance in Diva's posts.

What I'm directly responding to is the exchange with the "no dissent allowed" rule suggestion, and you basically saying you already got that covered. Squashing all dissent is authoritarian, and you referenced your "no authoritarian" rule when responding with this. I don't believed I ever joined in one of these PTB discussions before, but this was just too much. Can you not see the irony?

If you're openly saying that you don't tolerate any dissent in your community, then it sounds like you're acting as an authoritarian. Perhaps it's time to ban yourself 🤔

Sweet potato!

I've only seen it available at one pizza place and would get it with chicken, bacon, and a barbeque-sauce base.

Edit: The lobster pizza I had in Maine was pretty good too. They put lobster on everything up there!

Ah, you are right regarding the full dataset. Thank you.

It's strange that they start off with, and seem to focus on, the under-45 respondents unless they were trying to push a positive-viewpoint message. For that age group, it was 31% positive and 41% negative. However, this group seems like a better fit for the Lemmy/Reddit audience. Furthermore, left-leaning voters appear to be more positive in this poll than their right-leaning counterparts.

With all that in mind, I still think this meme works well and wouldn't have been improved with Bernie.

Yeah, that link shows 31%, not 18% for the under-45 respondents. Nearly a third of those have a positive approval of Luigi.

Edit: corrected to under-45 group.

In your link below, 18% only includes "strong positive". Why exclude "somewhat positive"?

Edit (correcting numbers as pointed out): 31% positive, 41% negative for the under-45 respondents. 19% positive, 61% negative overall.

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.
