SLS4All has an entire machine kit for $7,000

It’s no $4,000. But it’s open source, so a potential candidate for Chinese derivatives and a race to the bottom like we saw with the Ender3.

I had an appointment booked at my GO. Get there 10 mins early. Everything’s normal, one other person in the waiting room.

Other person gets called in. Still normal.

Receptionist walks through the waiting room, locks the front door, then shuts the shutter to the reception desk. “Uh what”

20mins pass, haven’t seen another soul. Not tooo unusual to wait 20mins.

40mins, sunk cost fallacy sets in. Can’t leave anyway as the front door is locked.

50 mins later, receptionist comes in “the doctor will see you now, sorry for the wait we had our weekly staff meeting”

You fucking what. You booked me in at the time you have your fucking weekly staff meeting?!

Generally, you avoid frying your offspring.

But WRT the OPs concerns of flying; People move, get jobs in other cities and countries, have kids, want to visit families, grandparents get sick, etc.

There’s a whole range of reasons why. Going “whelp, you had kids, sorry we’re going to ostracise you from society until your crotchspawn can keep quiet” isn’t exactly an inclusive attitude.

Like the article mentions, PSO was released on the Dreamcast, and had an MMO component.

Not sure what this would have done different?

Wouldn’t dressing up the warewolf reinforce the argument that it’s a seasonal decoration?

What kind of bizarre trinket cabinet did your teacher have.

“And today kids I brought in Howard. His job is to measure tolerances on every B22 lightbulb to come out of the local GE lightbulb factory”

This is one of the reasons I emigrated. To get away from standardised testing when it doesn’t matter.

Sigh. Sorry kiddo, tried to do the right thing.

If I wanted to give Linux phones a serious try, (and given a PostmarketOS thread, postmarket specifically)

What device do I buy? What gives me the best experience to cost ratio?

Preschool PPE

I doubt it’s /just/ smoke ventilation. Sure, it’s primarily there for fire safety.

But it probably provides ambient ventilation for the tunnel too. Tunnels with trains get hot. Most things, living or inanimate don’t like heat.

And if it’s always ventilating, it’s also might be expelling brake and metal dust from passing trains.

But all speculation. I’m not a train engineer, so I’m probably wrong.

Not entirely true.

In some countries (UK, NZ) Uber has to give you the price of the journey up front. Whereas taxis are metered and do not.

Uber UK has competition in thin regard with Minicabs, but the minicab apps are still shit.

Capped costs for consumers is a competitive advantage over taxis, and Uber has managed to find the sweet spot between hailing a taxi, and booking a minicab.
