It was probably common but these are typically short-term “payday loan” type deals that you’re expected to pay back in a week or two. 400% APR comes out to 7.69% per week.

These things are an absolute trap because if you don’t have $300 or whatever to cover your bills this paycheck, you definitely aren’t going to have $380 two weeks from now to pay it back and that’s precisely where you get steamrolled.

I can’t imagine how renewing your license will affect anything on their end. Your driving record and license number will remain the same.

So it can be used to make rainbow-patterned prints without a gazillion color changes.

more morbidity and mortality.

“Locals champion the move as it’s there only legitimate option of leaving the state.”

Prusa Connect and Prusa App

Are these both open source too?

And even if they don’t it doesn’t really matter. I saw a recent bodycam video of a cop planting drugs in someone’s car in Philly, NYC, or somewhere nearby and they didn’t do shit to him.

I wonder who’s going to get an FBI raid and the threat of life imprisonment for this?

You need this man’s energy but with a toilet instead.

They make rainbow patterned filament already though.

I want to assemble a filament composed of teeny tiny bits of filaments of different colors - like half-inch bits - to create a sort of “jawbreaker candy” filament.

Props to you for going through the effort, but damn does that sound like a huge PITA.

I wonder if you could achieve the same by using a mold with scrap bits of filament in the oven or something.

More likely the US government will pay them $125k for their trouble in this “political witchhunt.”

True, but it makes headlines and looks good for the party and that’s all that matters. Actual substance is so overrated.

In the 2020 Oregon fires, everything was coated in ash even though we were 20-30 miles away. I used a respirator while working outside and it didn’t take long for the filters to get all sooty. You’d come outside in the morning and your car would be covered in it as if we’d had fresh snowfall. I have no doubt that it caused problems for someone with emphysema.

Interesting! I’ve always been fascinated with how far production has come from spindly brown nugs full of seeds to what we have available today with it legal in so many places.

I don’t know a whole lot about the processes, so please take my question with a grain of salt. I’m only familiar with products as an end user buying stuff from the dispensaries (and previously from that one guy who insists you stay and watch a movie when you’re just trying to buy an eighth).

There are plenty of white skinned Mexican people too (not that he’s Mexican). My hispanic wife has cousins with pasty white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes born to Mexican parents in Mexico.

The difference? American data collection is done for profit, and Chinese data collection is done for control. Pick your poison.

No the difference is that these US companies give the US government a backdoor into everyone’s data (while also harvesting it all for profit) while the Chinese apps don’t in favor of giving the Chinese government a backdoor into everyone’s data. They don’t give a shit about propaganda and brainwashing occurring which is why they’ll allow the app to stay up in the US just so long as it’s an American company controlling it here because then they can install their backdoor for the US government.

The fires generate their own wind from the convection of hot air rising.

Work has stalls with big gaps and single ply sandpaper for toilet paper. I’ll always choose to poop at home unless it’s an emergency.

Plus once your legs go numb, you can’t get back up for a while.

Jesus christ $44M divided by 800 victims is $55k per person. What a bunch of fucking scumbags. My mother fell for a similar ploy (one among many) and it’s a bit soul crushing to have to constantly explain why she shouldn’t keep sending money and that no her book isn’t being showcased at some exhibit, no that guy isn’t calling from Microsoft, no that “wealthy, generous investor” isn’t really going to give you a guaranteed 30% return on your money.

Fuck these people!
