Maybe you're just a bigot.

Why is it shameful to be behind Namibia and Costa Rica?

It's just the cost of a banana!

For all we know this is their luxury buy of the month.

You may want to look at the other reply to my post, they mentioned that a part that breaks should still be food safe. I don't work in the food industry, I'm just a 3D printer nerd, so I wouldn't know about things like that, I just wanted to make stuff for my own use.

I'm outdated as far as printer options, Prusa makes good printers without going into the really expensive enterprise tier, so that's where I would look.

That makes sense, thank you for pointing it out! I can't see plastic 3D printed parts complying with that.

I'm the past there were hot ends (the print head) that may contain lead, so there is also that to consider.

The solution I read about in the past was to coat the part at the end with something food safe, like glazing for ceramics.

Of course you have to be careful about cleaning these plastics, PLA can't handle dishwasher temperatures.

I did not know the answer so I looked it up. Fiberglass is hard to recycle and it isn't done much. A lot of nuclear "waste" is actually spent fuel which can be reprocessed and used again.

Obviously it would be better to improve recycling of fiberglass but as it stands today, nuclear waste might be recycled more often than fiberglass...

Legally the output of the training could be considered a derived work. We treat brains differently here, that's all.

I think the current intellectual property system makes no sense and AI is revealing that fact.

As someone who is almost allergic to paperwork, I just understood what Hell is supposed to be.

Don't use wifi smart stuff. My house uses zigbee, so you have to be physically close to interact in any way. That really narrows down bad actors.

In the US a lot of workers don't get paid if they don't show up to work because they have no paid time off.

In the US they often combine sick days and vacation days, so if you miss work while sick, you are using your vacation days, which are very limited.

Thank you, I will watch and read this in full, I was curious about this topic for personal reasons.
