  • I remember watching some stuff about cities where it feels like you went out on street level but really you're still XX floors up.

  • It’s Happened: The United States of America Is No Longer a Democracy

  • That eliminates pretty much the entire commonwealth except Australia, right?

  • Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds

    Jump

  • I agree on this for products however with services (such as the ones I provide) I can't really give you a price upfront except for stuff I've highly standardized, because I have no idea until we work out the project on how much labour/costs it's gonna have.

  • I know a guy that's a pilot and while 90% of his flying is leisure, he'll sometimes fly down to France for his vacations etc in one. Doesn't own them though, has to pay rentals.

  • Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator

  • I mean if it doesn't make sound I'll get the cheap "smart" fridge and just cover up the screen, if it's a high quality fridge besides the screen, no problem.

  • It's a real thing, road design has an inherent "natural speed" where most drivers feel comfortable, not too quick, not too slow. In the Netherlands if you get a speeding ticket there is a chance that you can successfully argue in court that the road design invited you to drive faster and get the fine annuled. When that happens the government will ask the company responsible for that bit of road to add traffic calming measures like bumps, or obstacles you have to go around that slow you down. Highways are an exception though.

    As an addon, those private companies responsible for the roads have to abide by certain design philosophies made by the government, and they are legally responsible for the safety of the roads, if someone dies and it's found to be due to the road design, or its state of maintenance for example, they can be charged massive sums of money.

  • Can a Brit confirm this?

    Jump

  • Ah yes I can see where you're coming from, for me they are automatically classified as very different because one is sweet and one is savoury...

    I deserve the meme though, well played.

  • I disagree about them being equivalent, they're completely different? But I have no strong feelings about which is better.

  • Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

    Jump

  • Yeah I really don't think I'll need it that often, definitely not for any of the practical parts, it would just be for the fun things I'd print for the kid.

    Jump

  • I've abused a friend with a P1S before but the reason I want my own is because I find that I want to try things out, make a test print, rework the design, refine the tolerances, etc etc. You make a good point about getting access to the other technologies and materials though, I'll see if I have something like this closeby as well.

    Jump

  • I guess I might have to bite that bullet, I can't help being attracted to newer models and cheap alternatives but the P1S with AMS would be in budget and then I have Bambu..

  • Thank you for the input 🙏

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

  • You'd definitely want to zoom in for that anyway unless you're working on a huge screen and looking at it upclose. I'm literally a pro lol.

    this is fine

  • Yes, I fully agree with the point about remembering 9/11 as a millennial, and wasn't commenting about that, I just disagree about the one where you said generational terms are a US-only thing :)

    And yes, we use the English term for baby boom, it's a loan word, just like you say "croissant" (or at least, attempt to, haha).

    Jump

  • I don't agree with this at all to be honest. I'm French, and the baby boom was very much a thing there. The term might have been coined in the US but the demographics events behind it very much happened in much of Europe post-WW2, and for example my parents referred to themselves as such long before we started having a shared online global culture. As for millennials, I'm pretty sure the entire world changed millennium at the same time, why would only Americans be allowed to use the very obvious term?

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Not really, there isn't much of a point in viewing your images at native resolution while editing. In fact in lightroom when you're viewing the entire image you're always looking at downscaled version anyway for performance reasons and need to punch in to see actual pixel level detail.

  • I think they meant the people making TVs aren't the ones handling healthcare..

  • Am I missing something hidden in the lyrics? I get the dad is dead, but seems tangential at best with no mention that he was killed or of any revenge.
