Yes sir.

I just bought one of their Armory PCs, it was only $100 more than buying the parts separately and it is all branded parts (mostly ASUS).

Rick @calder12.bsky.social · 1h

They actually sell the printers too for the exact same price as Bambu.

Rick @calder12.bsky.social · 1h

I just looked, they sell Bambu branded filament!

I have one near me too, I should have a look. That is where I bought my last PC.

ah fair enough. I sorta wish there was a 3D printer store in brick and mortar near me.

I am starting to sound like a salesman lol. But I have a friend that bought one and he really likes it a lot, said it just worked out of the box and very rarely fails.

Rick @calder12.bsky.social · 1h

You can, but if you get the AMS thing (the multi colour add on) Bambu filament has rfid tags that it reads and sets up the printer for you. From what I understand their filament is pretty competitive price wise too. But yeah you can run off brand stuff no problem.

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.

Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

Bambu's Black Friday sale started on October 21st last year, so I am waiting for that to see if the deal gets better.

Rick @calder12.bsky.social · 1h

The AI is only $399 Canadian regular price. The combo adds multi-colour (or you can load multiples of the same filament and if it runs out it will auto swap). I have watched tons of videos and it seems to be the pretty unanimous choice for user friendly. The A1 Mini is only $249 but smaller.

I have a long time friend on FB that is a Mariners fan, please let the rest of this series go like the first pitch did lol

Rick @calder12.bsky.social · 2h

I am going with the Bambu A1 Combo, I want one that just works, and from all my research that one just works. It is a bed slinger and open so not great for stuff like ABS but I am not too concerned about that just yet.

I mean if damn is what they consider profanity, this might not apply to me lol.

Rick @calder12.bsky.social · 4h

I plan on getting a 3D printer when Bambu starts their Black Friday sale later this month, maybe I will figure out a reason to get one after that. The idea of making a handheld gaming console is intriguing, but I know me and I wouldn't end up using it lol.

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

I have wanted one since V1. I have literally no idea what I would do with it, but I still want one xD

$350 later and I have a new mouse, and my dad has a trackball that actually works. Thank you Logitech, fuck Kensington's overpriced horseshit.

Sounds like she is still refusing to take any responsibility too. Which is not surprising.

Thank your postal workers. They could just stay out in full strike. This is for us folks, not them.

Rachel Gilmore @rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 2d

Striking Canada Post workers will move to rotating strikes as of tomorrow — but they’re still fighting the uphill battle for both Canada Post and their labour rights.

For @parismarx.com, the Carney government continuing to chip away at this essential service is the last straw:

Imagine being pathetic enough to fawn over people that wouldn't piss on you if you were dying of thirst. Wild eh?
