There's always money in the banana stand.

Well, not really. The cosmic microwave background radiation was a tiny fraction of that noise. What everyone saw was mostly thermal noise generated by the amplifier circuit inside the TV.

We're in the one where Biff takes the Almanac back to the past.

No, most people just give up after seeing the price.

Fun little piece of trivia: Originally, nimrod used to mean "skillful hunter" (after Nimrod, the biblical figure) but then in 1940 Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod", and kids of the time not knowing the reference, simply assumed it was an insult on Elmer's character.

And that's how a cartoon rabbit single handedly changed the meaning of a word.

We have 3 Stratasys printers at work and yeah, you're absolutely correct.

To add, their 'professional' slicer program "Insight" is the most user hostile piece of software I've ever laid my eyes on. Straight out of 1992 levels of awful. The workflow, the UI (if you can call it that), everything.

The other 'user friendly' slicer is "GrabCAD Print", an Apple style piece of garbage. It lacks everything beyond basic functionality, yet lately they've been pumping it full of subscription locked features.

Honestly, fuck this company.

Never had problem thawing store bought bread before.

You have to put the bread in an airtight bag before freezing and let it completely thaw out in the bag before opening. This way the total moisture content within the bag will remain the same.

And let's see some statistics on those business owners.
Are they actually successful, or just 3x more likely to start a business on impulse and then 5x more likely to go bankrupt because of ADHD?

It's also conveniently missing that adults affected by ADHD are up to 6x more likely to also have depression than adults without ADHD.
Kind of an important point if you want your kid to actually live to adulthood.

Cool story, but that site. Holy shit.

I lived in both. Maybe I have more of an insight than you...
