US is like a bully. But a huge, strong, armed bully, which is now also crazy and looks unpredictable. I doubt the rest of Nato, especially this castrated, limp EU would do anything to protect Canada. They would frown and condemn the us verbally, but probably watch from afar. That's my impression at least.

Yes, but the amount he sacrificed is less than a pawn, if you were to compare it to chess. It's totally irrelevant that the guy is prime minister no longer, as it was just a phony position anyway.

Nah, not gonna happen. People think even this is a trick leading into new fixed elections and a try at dispelling the protests without consequences.

Yes no one cares, but then a big company announces they will not serve people in animal costumes. Then people go - makes sense, it's weird anyway. I've never seen a person in animal costume in person, not even as a mascot or on a kid's birthday. It's just not a thing here. And I'm from Serbia, it's provably even rarer in Moldova. I would find it weird if someone explicitly said they will deny them service. It's like denying service to dinosaurs, it's odd. It is a good cheap marketing though.

You really don't know Moldova, or easter Europe then. Most people don't even know about furries and their first reaction is not going to be positive. People are cautious about new and strange things and ultimately get scared of them. They look at this as preserving what is normal to them. I'm sorry, most of the world is conservative, not progressive.

In terms of being open source and maintaining that model. Also having some of the parts actually be 3d printed. Other than that, I don't know, Ive never owned one, never used one. It is too expensive for me for the features it has. Also xl seems to be a unique thing. Too expensive, though.

As for flashing the Prusa, I don't follow Prusa, so I didn't know about that one, but voiding a warranty vs locking you out isn't the same thing really. Though I wouldn't consider it a good move, I understand it somewhat.

If I was buying a new printer, which I won't, I'd go for a Sovol SV08, which is somewhat of a Voron clone.

I f-in knew it from the start. I kept telling everyone. But it's hard to listen when every youtuber and their mom switched to bambu. I don't like Prusa all that much either, but they are A LOT better than bambu. So I blame Bambu, but also YouTubers and influencers who started peddling them from the start. I'll stock up on E3d v6 hotends and generic extruders while they are still available.
