Significantly better, and if you have in ear headphones it’s worth it to see if you can get custom molded tips while you’re bothering as this will noticeably improve audio quality and noise cancelling

Hard inquiries stay on your report for 2 years but stop impacting your credit after a year

It’s not a huge deal unless you’re planning to buy a car or a house or something relatively soon

You can dispute them but they were all legitimate so you might as well just wait, it’s not that long. Your score was excellent so unless you incur a ton of debt It shouldnt go down all that much. And again, unless you’re planning to do something that is contingent on your credit within the next year or two it doesnt really matter

I got mine cheap from a local construction wholesaler I do some work with. They basically had a few extra that were ordered for a home build and let them go super cheap.

Toto is pricey and there are Chinese brands with the same feature sets now that didn’t exist when I got mine for significantly less. Toto does have excellent build quality - I’ve had mine for years, it’s worked flawlessly, easy to clean, etc, but you pay a premium for it

Based on the name I thought this was gonna be some platform to make homemade tofu more accessible to people and I was thinking “it’s really not all that hard to make, that’s kind of silly”

You can buy little cubes that will turn any non magnetized screwdriver into a magnetic one. You just kind of wave it through a hole in the center and bam, magnetized screwdriver. Then you wave it through another part and bam, back to normal. They’re like $5

Alternatively just get an earth magnet and stick it on the shaft. This creates a much stronger magnetic force, as while the above option works it’s not the strongest effect

I do own a house (finally got one in my late 30s) but part of what got me here is ignoring dental care (missing 2 teeth)

I would be missing three but I went to Costa Rica once for unrelated reasons and got an implant while I was there. Ruined my trip a little bit because getting an implant sucks but it was $750 vs $5100 in America (with pretty good insurance)

If you’re missing teeth for a long time (I’m pushing 8 years now) the rest of your teeth start moving around. It’s a real problem. Additionally once this happens missing teeth can exacerbate hip and back problems! Your jaw misaligns and then your posture gets fucked up

I do agree with you on this, I think bit.ly and link obfuscation is bullshit

In their defense their domain is https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ which is a bit much. But registering a second short domain on a weird tld can’t cost all that much per year

Toto makes 120v/60hz models. I have one in the us. It’s the shit, highly recommend

That’s ritard, short for ritardando

Unless you meant a non chord tone resolving downwards but that’s retardation

It’s a three way street though. Lazy consumers are to blame for enabling but bad companies are worse for having anti consumer practices to begin with. And the biggest failure of all is our government for allowing anti consumer behavior to run rampant and not allow any meaningful regulation to go through because they’re utterly corrupted and pro corporation.

In the “normies” defense in a functional society I shouldn’t have to research every purchase I make to ensure it is not hostile against me. However, we live in a dystopia where it is necessary to either manufacture your own foss solution or research for the purchasable option (that is often just the least hostile but still fairly hostile)

We have become so normalized to anti consumer behavior it doesn’t even matter anymore

Like it used to be that a videogame manufacturer charged for a dlc that was already on the game disc, you had to pay to unlock data that you technically had purchased but not licensed, and people threw a fucking fit. Now it’s like “this new tech device will only work if you insert $20 bills every 30 minutes” and people are like “oh well that sucks but what are you gonna do? I need a toaster that can send me a notification when my toast is done”

Fuck the companies that do anti consumer bullshit, fuck the youtuber dummies that normalize it because they got $50 and a free shitty printer, fuck the government that has completely failed to regulate anything, and fuck the dummies who constantly enable this nonsense because they refuse to spend 10 minutes researching their purchases and instead spend the rest of their life in credit card debt because they have $1100 in monthly subscriptions to stupid bullshit that makes their stuff work for 18 months until the company goes bankrupt, their device is bricked, and they replace it with another piece of shit that has the same anticonsumer bullshit

I build an original voron 1.0, reused the parts to build a 2.0, and built that into a 2.4 with mostly newer parts because the frame was just fucked from all that nonsense. I have a very low serial from back when they did that on the subreddit, not sure if that’s still a thing

Even with the raggedy frame it was a great printer. But building it properly it’s bulletproof. Costly but if you want a forever printer that you can mod it’s the way to go imo
