  • If you want to print with high temp materials the enclosure is a must, so it’s a huge change there, if all you do is PLA, PETG then it’s not as critical. But I still think the Bambu P1S bundle is the better deal, similar sized printer, similar motion system and ease of use, and you get the 4 spool AMS which is a game changer even if you don’t print multicolor. I want to love the prusa stuff but it’s just too expensive


  • The total cost of the upgrades to go from MK3S>MK4>CORE One is the same or greater than just buying a new kit. It’s currently $1-200 more than a Bambu P1S with AMS due to the black Friday sale, which they frequently have on sale for this price. I really do like the concept of continually upgrading your printer to the latest and gratest, but it’s not actually that economical. And add to all that, you’ll basically end up with a new printer and most of the parts of a second so why not just have 2 for the same cost.


  • Union is nice, but it is still held back by the industry average, and there’s as many union as non-union airlines. It’s been a lot better since Covid for us but my point still stands that the skilled labor list is BS and as you well know there is a lot of skilled work in this field, but it’s categorized incorrectly as a way of keeping costs low. From what I recall, Delta was the biggest player in that lobby effort.







  • They never said it wasn’t, just that we should start with the 1% and only once they are back down to a realistic wealth level do we start taxing people who are working class. At a decent pay rate (100k/yr) a million is achievable over a career, a billion is not and can only be had through consolidation of wealth.


  • Trump is a figurehead and mouth piece only, it’s clear the backing and power behind him is pushing him, not the other way around. If Trump is dead or unelectable then they will sub in someone else. Trump’s “saving grace” is that he was good at speaking in a relatable but obfuscating way which worked to foment the masses against imagined grievances, but that’s not a trait unique to him. He is unfortunately replaceable with not much loss in momentum.







  • Aircraft Maintenance Controller, I coordinate and advise on the maintenance operations for a fleet of cargo 737’s and 767’s. It’s a lot of auditing and making sure everything is done right, but also troubleshooting advice and on the operations side it’s a lot of making a plan to keep the flight schedule as intact as possible while still handling maintenance issues.
