You are right, 100db is only like a motorcycle. As loud as a motorcycle but only 12mm? Not Impressed! Get it together little fish!


The real surprise is that anyone trusted google about anything in the first place.


Somebody I know trusted the google maps bicycle tour planning feature .. and had to stop a car after some unplanned hours in the australian outback sun.

Someone else who was directing me in a car via their mobile google maps told me to go through a blocked road. I said no, I cannot. "But you have to, google says so"

No, I still did not drive through a road block, despite google telling me, this is the way, but people trusted google a lot. And still do.


Its posts like this that ensure I’ll have a job for years to come. Comments are worthless too, I mean, just read the code!


I’m curious to how close this tracks with population growth.


Prusa Link/Connect also has this.


Are you sure PrusaLink has it? I've an MK4 with latest firmware and I can only see the usual temperature graph and file browser, and that's it. Not that the bed visualizer would be so useful with the MK4: this printer (like the XL) really does not have leveling issues.


I think you're confusing the control screen with leveling mesh visualizer. Prusa Connect does not have this, Prusa Link is even more bare bones.


Just like “unlimited vacation.” Whenever someone says it you know there is something going on and you aren’t going to like it.


They also pulled this bait and switch on Universities.


I think at Disney Worlds Animal Kingdom in the Avatar ride queue they have some pretty cool examples of this. I always wondered how they did it and now I know.


I don’t know why anyone would disparage anyone taking care of their own kids. The “workforce” sucks and people should be ashamed they’ve been convinced a “career” is something they should aspire to at all costs. Maybe instead of giving people money to pay for child care they should give people money and just let them stay home and enjoy being with their children.


Personally convinced the hustle culture is just a way to normalize a larger tax base for the government.


This isn't really hustle culture as much as feminism telling women that being a stay-at-home mum means not being emancipated, ironically telling them how to live life without following the path they want to follow.

But maybe you have a point in that the reason elites embrace feminism is to increase GDP (see also the USSR selling the shoving of women into grueling factory work as "liberation")


Women in the Middle East (Kuwait, UAE) don’t have the freedom to do everything they would like to, though they can do almost everything an upper middle class woman in the US can do. The one thing I heard constantly when I was there was how bad they felt for the women in the US who were forced to have a job and they would never exchange places with them.


I grew up in the middle east. Yes, there are some who want to do things, but not forever. Furthermore, women in the middle east own a higher percentage of small businesses compared to women in the US for example; most who want to work, actually want ownership and not to become yet another wage-slave.


> Furthermore, women in the middle east own a higher percentage of small businesses compared to women in the US for example

I'm not at all surprised by this. When you stay at home and depend on your husband's wage, it's much easier to start a boutique business.

Our church is traditional and most women stay at home. Many of the women have businesses. It makes sense. They work on them in the few hours the kids are in classes or napping. They earn enough to keep going and provide an outlet for them to contribute directly to the income

Whereas if I were to start a business, it would have to be with the goal of replacing my wage. The sorts of businesses the wives engage in would be impossible. They simply don't earn enough.

But some of the women's businesses may take off. It's a high risk high reward thing, except that the risk is actually low due to husband's income.


The middle-east is a lot of countries with different rules (ie: it includes Lebanon). But to help you understand, it's totally feasible for a woman in say, Qatar (the strictest), to become a business woman and do all her affairs by herself. If she is married, her husband become her "guardian". But don't be deluded, the woman family will stand in opposition if things go south. Also the husband doesn't have the right to his wife money under Islamic law. There is no splitting of hers.


In fairness, neither would a Kuwaiti man want to trade places with an American one. You get tons of oil money from the state, and even jobs like "doctor" and "lawyer" are considered menial and delegated to Indian non-citizen workers.


I mean... I like my profession and like having a career. But I also have healthy boundaries on work - usually working 30 hours per week with full pay.


Most people are dissatisfied with their jobs/professions according to surveys so you would be in the minority.


> usually working 30 hours per week with full pay.

that must be a nice perk that helps influence your fondness.


Intermediate [insert topic here] knowledge associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes.

Topics: Science, Sports, Cooking, Driving, Programming… literally anything.

I didn’t need a study to know this.


It this the B swimming lane thing again?


I do not know the reference. Is it that people claim the middle lanes are faster?

But I do know that a lot of people across a lot of topics over estimate their ability because they don’t know what they don’t know. Science as a topic isn’t special in this regard.

Jr devs are great examples. Your code is garbage and I am brilliant, just let me change this thing here and OH MY THE SYSTEM IS BROKE PLEASE HELP ME! Intermediate knowledge and negative attitudes.

B lane swimmers are less friendly than A,C, and D at least anecdotally
