Because they're ugly, bulky and inconvenient as fuck.

I think it’s loosely based on some comic books of a similar nature

Yes, the movie is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, based on the comic Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. 😆

Well, not really. The cosmic microwave background radiation was a tiny fraction of that noise. What everyone saw was mostly thermal noise generated by the amplifier circuit inside the TV.

We're in the one where Biff takes the Almanac back to the past.

I have a UFO Civic and, out of all the cars I've been in, it has hands down the best dashboard. Everything is tactile and arranged in a way that I don't have to look away from the road to adjust anything.

Beyond tactile vs. touchscreen, I wish more manufacturers payed attention to ergonomics so I wouldn't have to reach into my ass to find the AC or the defogging button.

No, most people just give up after seeing the price.

Fun little piece of trivia: Originally, nimrod used to mean "skillful hunter" (after Nimrod, the biblical figure) but then in 1940 Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod", and kids of the time not knowing the reference, simply assumed it was an insult on Elmer's character.

And that's how a cartoon rabbit single handedly changed the meaning of a word.

We have 3 Stratasys printers at work and yeah, you're absolutely correct.

To add, their 'professional' slicer program "Insight" is the most user hostile piece of software I've ever laid my eyes on. Straight out of 1992 levels of awful. The workflow, the UI (if you can call it that), everything.

The other 'user friendly' slicer is "GrabCAD Print", an Apple style piece of garbage. It lacks everything beyond basic functionality, yet lately they've been pumping it full of subscription locked features.

Honestly, fuck this company.
