I was given an Ender 3 Pro last week and after a few bumps managed to successfully CAD, slice and print a booster seat for my phone. The caddy as it was would grab the volume down button on my phone, this little wedge solves the issue!

Is that really not common? I’m in the U.K., and <30% of cars might be auto, when I look at used car sales these days.

In the US around 1% of sold cars have a manual transmission. I think it’s as rare to see a manual in the US as it is to see their dumbass huge fucking pickup trucks in Europe.

Wow. I think the big changeover here will be the electric vehicle. By default they’re auto and will determine the future of transmission type as they become more common. We also have a culture of passing the driving test in a manual, so that you can drive both. An automatic driving license does not allow us to drive manual vehicles.

When we visited Europe a number of years ago I had to learn stick and we all practiced quite a bit because renting an automatic wasn't reasonable. It's actually pretty hard to find a manual to learn on and not all learner agencies even have one.

Same here in poland. Automatics are and have been getting much more popular though over the years. I have ditched a manual for my daily a long while ago. Many people I know now never learned to drive a manual, or did learn but then drove automatics and are afraid they don’t remember how to stir the oil manually.
