Came here to reply similarly, then I realized that Kenobi’s got a far more flawed posture than the meme insinuates and pointing out the illogical stance of a meme is a waste of time. 🤪 At least there’s two of us, though!
There’s an age-old saying: “No one should ever meet their heroes.”
Um, what? You mean, like IMDB? You have the internet where you are? 🤪
They’re not bad machines, per se, but the company’s been pushing the shitty practices envelope in an apparent rush to compete with a shrinking barrier to entry and attempting to create a sub-market for “elite” hobbyist machines (in size only) without increasing the quality of parts but certainly upcharging on them… I currently have 8 Elegoo printers (2 Mini 4Ks, 4 Saturn 8Ks, and 2 Jupiters) as both Phrozen and Anycubic are notably worse in a number of ways. To wit, replacing the Jupiter screens is $250 apiece, whereas the Saturn screens run less than $50 and are not ⅕ the size or value. It’s genuinely disappointing, and I have less than zero confidence that this FDM machine won’t shit the bed right out of the gates.
All this aside, I recommend you look at established brands in the FDM space that are less likely to be making a cash grab outside their comfort zone.
Oh, yeah, I remember him at GenCon in the mid-90s! Signing glossies at his table between two huge private security guys while he talked the rudest shit about the fans in line to shell out $20 minimum. Never about the one standing in front of him that I could tell, always the ones half a dozen spots back, but he was so impressively drunk you could smell it before you even got on deck. I stepped away from the line and just watched the spectacle for a while before finding something better, but I didn’t miss him getting into it with a couple fans and the security guys “helping” him up to take a break. 😅🤷🏼♂️
Elegoo, hunh? So, you’re into random parts failing and then waiting 6+ weeks for replacements from coastal China? Elegoo barely made a viable resin printer with a similar “bigger = better” inspiration, and people are really that excited to throw their money at the same whore in a different dress? 🤦🏼♂️
Good bot.
Wasn’t she just going off on “kids these days” not working hard enough to be able to afford things like a house, health insurance, free time, etc.? Nah, bitch is rich and drank the Kool aid lonnnng ago… She was never your friend and role model if you paid enough attention.
How about we remember the character and the scenes we love, instead? 🤪
I wonder what that would look like if the roles were reversed: ie. the posted job description didn’t match the internal listing, and only after doing some amateur sleuthing did one find that the same corp has been playing a shell game with major contracts, covering up their overseas labor, and they’ve got sympathetic chairs on each “oversight” org in their sector.
That’d just be another day like any other, though. 🤷🏼♂️
Are you Kirk or Spock?
Also, the strike is over.
If this is “mildly infuriating”, you need to get outside more, kiddo. Other people being mentally deficient and getting fined for it should barely blip on your radar. 🤦🏼♂️
What’s that Piped bot when ya need it?
The Roddenberry’s what now?
You’d willingly give DNA evidence? Bold.
Best bot
Strike-anywhere match heads are ~⅛" wider than the space between the pin and collar of said valves, and are far cheaper. The slow leak is nearly imperceptible — until all wheels are flat simultaneously. 🫠
How apropos that steampunk is what you get when you slap half-cocked period fashion on highschool theater tier drama and handwave science (ie. physics, economics, politics, ecology, etc.) to cobble together tired tropes for semi-literate self-styled “outcasts”… Basically Twilight for LARPers. 🤷🏼♂️
edit: I see steampunk cringe doesn’t hinder the ability to silently downvote. Cute.
