Uh, what? AFAIK Prusa does not support genocide

Typically it is different colors of the same material, but you can put different materials in each slot too. Common 3D printing filaments are PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and less so ABA.

Probably means size of the Maverick, which is what the Ranger used to be

Yup, there have been a lot of battery issues with electric cars. The good news is those seem to be few and far between nowadays.

After that, I bought a Tesla. Downvote me if you want, but it was the next best option.

I can’t and I wouldn’t anyway. Before we knew Elon was a fascist, they were usually a good option (provided you got one from a good run). We bought a used Tesla in 2016. It was a great car, but when someone sideswiped it and totaled it in 2020, we could not in good conscious get another one.

Yeah, one of the founders is from OG Tesla. Still not putting a deposit, but makes me more optimistic.

I feel like the Telo has more bonafides than the Aptera. At least one of the founders has shipped a car in the past (original Tesla Roadster). Slate has Amazon backing, so will probably happen, but also Amazon…

The all had 200-250 mile ranges. Less than 320, but fine for most folks. Now there are so many good EV options, the only downside is cost nowadays. We need a good, compact, inexpensive EV with decent charging speeds. The Bolt almost does that, bit the charging speeds are real slow

There were other options that just weren’t well advertised/known. KIA Niro/Hyundai Kona, Chevy Bolt, and Jaguar I-Pace all existed in 2019 in addition to the 2 you mentioned.

The only reason I got a PS5 was because my PS4’s HDMI port got damaged somehow. The controller is a significant upgrade if games use it, but not a lot do. Looking back, I probably would have been fine without it at all since I have a Steam Link and that works great in the TV

Pushes up glasses All mopeds are motorbikes.

Especially true with fridges. In door water and ice being big points of failure.

I think that URL might be for something else entirely. Unless they also do industrial manufacturing

OK, I have said this multiple times and you don’t seem to be listening.

I literally did not say you were a misogynist. I never said you hate women. I stated that I did not think that in multiple ways. I said you are using an outdated term and people who are misogynists use it. I did so in the hope that you would at least be more cautious in your use.

It’s akin to saying “‘hot dog’ is offensive; you need to say ‘frankfurter.’”

It’s not though. It’s akin to using the G slur when you mean got ripped off. It is an outdated slang term that a whole lot of people find offensive. Even if the people around you have not, the greater population of people have moved the fuck on.

Clearly you think this an attack on you (it’s not, for the record), so I am done. I’m done having the slightest critique escalated to an attack on your character. Honestly, I’m probably done with you altogether. This is not the first time you have had multiple people tell you something only to you stick your fingers in your ears and say “nuh-uh, my personal experience trumps all” even after being provided evidence of a world view beyond yours.

So yeah, have a good one.

Now, we can play this game that I hate women, but it’s not going to have a lot of legs.

I literally never said that and don’t even know where this came from. Please stop escalating beyond what I have said

The failure, as I see it, is that “chicks” only came into my lexicon via women. If they’re using the term, how am I being offensive?

Could be a few reasons. Internalized misogyny is a thing. Maybe they grew up around it and didn’t know the connotations. The more likely thing is that when it entered you lexicon it was more acceptable. Times change, culture changes, language changes.

If nothing else, you clearly have a group around you that tolerates the use. And if that works for them, that’s fine. The folks here don’t know you, though. We only have your interactions on here to guide us. Getting defensive about using terms like this paints a picture, however untrue, that you don’t respect women and don’t care to listen to outside perspectives.

The information is pretty easy to find, but since you asked for receipts, here is a article from JSTOR that calls out “chick” as a dehumanizing term for women and cites a study from the 90s that calls it out (among several other dehumanizing words for women).

https://daily.jstor.org/the-language-of-nasty-women-and-other-gendered-insults/

I think you misinterpret the point of me calling out the word. I don’t think you have an intention to condescend or dehumanize women, but other people that use “chicks” to refer to women often do. If it were me, I would not want to associate myself with them.

In the end, intent matters less than impact. For example, if you use a slur that you did not know was a slur, wouldn’t you rather be told so you can stop using it?

A whole lot of women and femmes dislike that word because it is condescending and dehumanizing. Just because 2 people in your life don’t think so doesn’t mean a majority of people don’t.

Wow, creepy

Honestly I disagree. Calling it a movement may be the wrong title, but it isn’t going to necessarily fail. They have been gaining traction every month and getting people even in rural areas to get out and protest. The normies are joining and that is a good thing. It may need a goal eventually, but for now it is setting the groundwork for actually getting people out. We should not be discouraging people from getting out there. Hell, even the person quoted in the link says that they are not trying to tear it down. Doing so is trying to fight apathy with more apathy
