I definitely understand how the printer works better than if I bought it assembled. It'll definitely save me time troubleshooting/maintaining/repairing it later. But I spent more time building it than I could ever save during teardown/rebuilds.
I bought a kit because I like building stuff, the Core One kit had the same appeal as a Lego model or a model car. If that's not appealing to you, do yourself a favor and buy the completed printer.
If you do get the kit, get a couple of ice cube trays to use to organize fasteners; keeping them organized in the bags Prusa sends was a battle I wasn't interested in fighting.

Bridge Designer, formerly West Point Bridge Designer is a physics simulation that does almost that, though is more a learning tool than a game.
It's not perfect. The FOV on lower-end/older headsets leave a lot to be desired, you can't use button boxes/controls since you can't see your hands, and doing any sort of long race gets exhausting.
Politeness is a part of the approach, but it's not the whole game. The author wanted to be interviewed. It's flattering! Journalists asking you about things you've done because they think your work is interesting feels good.
He wanted it enough that it blinded him to every (blatant and obvious) sign that this was a scam.
The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
What did you end up in?
Get blinded? Switch it to the other eye.
I imagine fiber is a different story.
That part was what made me question if it was real! "Don't want to give the haters ammo" at the tail end of a story about how his $100k pickup truck drove into a lamp post.
What exactly does he think he's doing?
"Let's spend a bunch of money to make our stores harder to use" is not an innovation deserving of praise.
If you took this idea and worked it into a script with characters and drama you'd get something close to John Q starring Denzel Washington. Not his best work, but a pretty good watch.
>You can’t turn around and try to enforce that.
I'm not sure what you mean. WordPress is quite clearly turning around and trying to enforce that.
It's a shakedown, the whole point is to force WP Engine back into licensing talks. A bulletproof legal foundation isn't necessary, just a legitimate complaint that can force WP Engine into court.
Maybe I'm giving executives too much credit but I believe that, for the most part, they believe they're better managers when their employees are in the office. I think that's true in a lot of cases, but it also ignores that employees can be better workers when they're hybrid or remote.
Matt voices a number of grievances including WP Engine's changes to WordPress, their use of the term "WP", their donation/sponsorships, and more. At first glance they all seem a bit silly.
The important context, in my opinion, is that this comes after the breakdown of a licensing agreement between WP Engine and Automattic, an agreement that would've seen tens of millions of dollars paid to Automattic by WP Engine for a license that WP Engine does not think they need.
To put a point on it, none of the things WP Engine is accused of doing were problematic before the breakdown of licensing negotiations or the filing of WP Engine's lawsuit.
Matt is also on record criticizing WP Engine for never having donated to the WordPress Foundation.
This is all coming to light after the breakdown of licensing negotiations between Automattic and WPEngine

Having to provide an address and a credit card before the drawing is obnoxious, but it's led me to realize that if I really wanted things that played Green Day, I could make most of these things myself.
That doesn't provide the sweet, sweet vendor lock-in that soap cartridges do, so they invent a whole new list of "Risks of Refillable Hand Sanitizer" which boils down to "If you fill the dispenser with something that isn't hand sanitizer, then it won't sanitize hands properly.
>The abbreviation “WP” is not covered by the WordPress trademarks, but please don’t use it in a way that confuses people. For example, many people think WP Engine is “WordPress Engine” and officially associated with WordPress, which it’s not. They have never once even donated to the WordPress Foundation, despite making billions of revenue on top of WordPress.
Referential use doesn't allow someone to use marks to imply an association or endorsement, and I think it's clear what they're calling out in the trademark policy changes.
I think Matt's position is that WP Engine is not Wordpress, so it's not appropriate to call their offerings Wordpress-anything.
I think it's safe to assume that the second stroke is burning incomplete combustion products left over from the first stroke. I think that the second compression stroke would have to be higher compression than the first in order to get more complete combustion of what's left behind.
