  1. lulz its funny in the markets thread Incredulity is seriously arguing that tariffs aren't what's put us into this position
  2. He's literally just doing what he said he would do, and you have continued to deny was available knowledge prior to 2025 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/08/22/trump-trade-tariffs/ (August 2023) https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/trump-favors-huge-new-tariffs-how-do-they-work (Sept 2024) He's actually currently got tariff rates below what he previously promised in the above links (a flat 20% universal import tariff), so my money is on things getting a whole lot more tariff-ic than less I don't know how you could pin Q1's precipitous decline on anything BUT the induced instability from the tariff rollout as well as the anticipated worsening financial climate due to tariffs under the """business friendly""" president.
  3. So if Q1 is inflated relative to the trendline that will likely be established in Q2, what caused the trendline to drop so precipitously? And if Q1 is inflated in a current view, why is it coming in so much lower than projections from 2024? I could have sworn you were quite certain that tariffs wouldn't happen, so what else could have been causing it?
  4. Must be nice to be the only automaker getting tariff relief and exemptions
  5. And now you understand why trump has been attacking the media and threatening them so much. He wants them scared and thinking twice before they ask an actual question or seriously challenge their talking points. The more absurd and outrageous the talking point, the better. It's an bully expression of power to make people repeat things they know aren't true. Check out Orwell's 1984 for further ideas on the concept.
  6. What caused it? If only there was some way to disambiguate a triggering action for the GDP contraction. Because as we all know tariffs would NEVER hurt consumers or an economy. The business news channel with the angry hosts told me so!
  7. Maybe it's one of slorch's socks
  8. I said it a month or two ago - most fascist takeovers require a broken economy. Trump, ever the innovator, is making his own economic meltdown and riding on the amygdala of his base
  9. It doesn't matter if 2020 is reproducible while 2016 and 2024 are more likely models for recreation. And like others have pointed out, you're assuming there will be actual open elections which is not really take-to-the-bank solid anymore. Remember, were at the "arresting judges for not following illegal orders" phase. Historically speaking it's still the early 1930's in our Weimar Republic

    3D Printing

    I know this is a more serious answer than you meant, but if you can get a good side-on profile picture and provide a few critical dimensions it's not too hard to recreate something in CAD. Print-wise you should never use FDM prints with food. The surface texture is inherently going to have all sorts of nooks and crannies that bacteria will grow in, not to mention that printers aren't food safe rated and use lubricants that aren't safe to eat. To recreate it, you could model it and then send that 3d model or CAD off to PCBway or some other print service to actually make the thing in metal or food-safe resin

    3D Printing

    What printer are you using? You'll probably want an enclosed and heated chamber to avoid any warping, on top of hardening your hot end and extruder gears
  12. Slight upgrade from a 3080 12GB - my wife wanted to upgrade her 1070 so she could play Inzoi, so she gets the hand-me-down 3080
