Egg is obvious if you know what the difference is between vegetarian and vegan in the first place, but I don't think you can expect most people to be able to cook vegan food, even if they're trying, and know the basic definition. I know enough non-obvious uses of animal products(like shellac on fruit), that I'd have no confidence in being able to avoid them all unless I grew everything myself.

People act like it’s rocket science.

There's always going to be a question as to where you draw the line. For example, is it okay to eat figs, even though they're pollinated by wasps that end up in them? Is it okay to eat plants grown using animal products as fertilizer? Is it okay to eat cultured meat that is many generations removed from a living animal, such that none of the material present now was part of the living animal? How about things in the animal kingdom, but outside the chordates? The ones you'd need a microscope to see? Is honey okay to eat?

There's also the issue that other people that call themselves vegan will disagree with you on what all counts.

I think you'll be happy. Coming from someone that's had a prusa mini for 3 years.

I also use FreeCAD, and I don't think you'll have a problem with that with any modern slicer, you can export in step to let the slicer do the meshing, or you can use the mesh workbench to get more control over the resolution of the mesh.

Don't worry too much about print volume. Can always break stuff up into multiple prints, and that's often a good idea even if the whole thing would fit inside the print volume.

I have killed a couple build plates, one from the TPU print sticking too well to PEI, and pulling chunks off, one from crashing the nozzle into it after I switched from a bare metal build plate to a PEI one without changing the Z offset.

Other than that, I've only really replaced one fan that was getting noisy.

As for filament, I use mostly PLA and ASA, because I don't need to do anything special to keep those dry enough to print. Probably around 60% PLA, 25% ASA, 15% TPU. PETG is fine, but I need to dry it to keep from getting steam bubbles in my prints, and can't really be bothered when I can just use ASA or PLA instead.

As for TPU, it will string like crazy if you don't dry it, but you can mitigate this with some parts by turning on "avoid crossing perimeters". Also try to avoid support material with TPU. I now print TPU on the back side(bare metal) of a third party build plate, using a very thin layer of glue stick.

For a while, I thought kissing was how women got pregnant.

It MIGHT have had something to do with getting a half sibling in spite of my father saying he hadn't had sex with the mother. Religion makes people weird, is it really that big a deal to admit you had sex out of wedlock, when everybody already knows you got someone pregnant?

The problem with a benevolent dictator is that they die eventually, and are replaced by a non-benevolent dictator, or a civil war, or both. Unfortunately it looks like the US democracy might have the same outcome.

I could see that having to do with the plastic bottle degrading.

I'm new here, but the straw that broke the camel's back was reddit getting rid of r/random. Also more reposts than new content. Also feels like there are more bots than people. Plenty of other anti-user stuff over the years.

I think you're forgetting the fact that the founding fathers were revolutionaries. They very obviously felt the need for the people to have the tools to depose a government if necessary. However, they did not foresee the US becoming a superpower, or the extent to which weapons technology has progressed.

If we're talking about ignoring a date printed on the package, salt. Dunno why it had a date printed on it at all.

If we're talking about something that does eventually go bad, it would be some other spice that only rarely gets used, dunno which one though.

If we're talking about something actually considered perishable, eggs.

I dunno, I think it might be a suicide.

The threat of violence is the fundamental basis of all political power. Politicians act in self-interest, and will be exactly as corrupt as the people allow them to be.

I've been using FreeCAD, it's extremely powerful, and just hit 1.0. Might be a bit harder to learn, but worth it.
