Do you know how it compare to the MK3S+?

I have one and want another Prusa, and not sure if the upgrades are worth it, or if it's better to just get another 3S+ just for the parity and simplicity. Plus 3S+'s are cheaper now.

The gatekeeping is especially ironic (or maybe just hypocritical) because they didn't use this meme template properly, lol. You know, like a "normie".

Haven't played it, but from what I heard, I'm surprised this isn't the top answer.

You literally start out as a medieval peasant.

While I get your point, here's the other issue with how this is framed.

The advertisement entices workers to make the jump, even for a short while, to its on-campus hotel, saying: β€œJust imagine no commute to the office in the morning and instead, you could have an extra hour of sleep and less friction,” CNBC reported. β€œNext, you could walk out of your room and quickly grab a delicious breakfast or get a workout in before work starts.” It adds that after the end of the work day, β€œyou could enjoy a quiet evening on top of the rooftop deck or take in one of the fun local activities.”

I can imagine that, at least except for the rooftop deck. Working from home. Without having to pay $99/night.

They could avoid this whole thing by simply just not forcing people to go back to the office.

Hah, I actually did that when I first started working for a small company.

The co-founder also rented out a house he owned as a duplex.

Actually wasn't that bad, he charged slightly below market rate, and was pretty attentive. But definitely felt weird and I was happy to move out after a few years. It's just an unnecessary source of potential drama.

Now my manager lives there, and has for five years.

I mean, that's a problem with a "lifetime" purchase of anything, especially software.

But as long as your expected usage over your expected period of time is cheaper than a recurring subscription for the same period of time, it's still worth it for a "lifetime" purchase.

They already go to the more liberal states for their abortions and their weed. Might as well download some porn while on the dispensary wifi.

Federal taxes from the liberal states will continue to prop them up.

Okay, but I'm not paying either and all I see every ~20 posts is a black box that literally just says "Sponsored Content"?

Is mine bugged or do the ads on the app kick in later, lol? Because right now it's awesome.

I hope that becomes more common as these types of features become more prevalent across multiple OEMs. I'd pay a tech-savvy mechanic or a car-savvy hacker quite a bit for features that are already installed but locked behind some arbitrary paywall.

I also just hope regulators put a stop to such behavior first, but I kind of doubt that will happen.

Woke is a defined term.

The fact that it's mis-defined or used as a pejorative does not invalidate its definition nor mean it can't be used as a descriptor of a film. It's literally an adjective.

I mean, I think it's fine to critique a movie on themes as well. It's a key aspect that makes up a film, like effects, writing, casting, or acting. I don't think critiquing it as "woke" is invalid - it tells his audience a key facet of what they want to know about a movie. If a movie was coming out and someone reviewed it saying the themes were pro-fascist, I'd also want to know that and not attend based off of theme.

I just like that a movie which, in no uncertain terms, advocated for strong, independent men is too "woke" for Ben Shapiro. But I guess if you determine your worth as a man by how much control you have over women, that tracks.
