    The original issue stems from an agricultural conmerce point, however, as the definitions dictated vastly different tariff rates, etc. In short, vegetables were often staples, and fruits were seen as luxuries. Therefore, when tomatoes first began arriving from the East, the savvy trader would call them vegetables in order to lessen their own cost to transport them, but claim they were fruit when wholesaling inland, IIRC.





  • They’re not bad machines, per se, but the company’s been pushing the shitty practices envelope in an apparent rush to compete with a shrinking barrier to entry and attempting to create a sub-market for “elite” hobbyist machines (in size only) without increasing the quality of parts but certainly upcharging on them… I currently have 8 Elegoo printers (2 Mini 4Ks, 4 Saturn 8Ks, and 2 Jupiters) as both Phrozen and Anycubic are notably worse in a number of ways. To wit, replacing the Jupiter screens is $250 apiece, whereas the Saturn screens run less than $50 and are not ⅕ the size or value. It’s genuinely disappointing, and I have less than zero confidence that this FDM machine won’t shit the bed right out of the gates.

    All this aside, I recommend you look at established brands in the FDM space that are less likely to be making a cash grab outside their comfort zone.













  • Mario needs to save himself from the pointless questing at endless castles. Bowser needs to save himself from his own tacked-on pomp & patriarchy so he can love the tiny koopa inside his overlarge shell. The both of them have some work to do. Meanwhile, Luigi & Toad could use a fuckin’ buddy movie. Just sayin’.
