Bought one of these a while back, and it's been great. Yeah, you can get hundreds of cheapo nozzles for the price, but not having to deal with increasingly shitty prints and nozzle changes has made it worthwhile for me, at least. I don't even use abrasives, mainly just matte PLA.

Probably the fact that we can track the development of modern wheat from a natural grain to what it is today.

A lot of people consider themselves lucky to see a medical professional once a year, so it'd be convenient to be able to get all the requisite vaccines on that schedule.

Evidently your current instance censors that last word too.

Literally who?

You might be thinking of Jimmy John's.

Nobody at the grocery store I used to work at would wear the seatbelt. One time the district safety manager was touring and asked a manager (who didn't recognize her) about it and he got in so much trouble.

Can Ukraine just overthrow Putin? That'd be pretty tight.

Fair enough, that person is definitely engaging in hyperbolic rhetoric, but I don't think their point is entirely wrong. This feels like a classic case of racism and bigotry being seen as all-or-nothing situations. Those character names are obviously not coming from a place of cultural sensitivity (it's been pointed out that Cho and Chang are both family names from entirely different cultures), and while you refuse to engage with the point, portraying slavery as anything other than abominable is just a terrible decision. I would not agree with the comment OP that Rowling has always been a white supremacist, but I would say that she is/was a rather thoughtless liberal, in the centrist definition of that word.
