since kids aren't usually allowed to train with guns... were they all training with their parents before? or is it not that hard, so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?

(asking not 4 myself obvs, just out of curiosity)

Aurora, IL

I am also told that at least one fire station had kept their flag lowered, and locked it in place, requiring the fire chief to come cut the lock. Also that there are people sneaking around lowering flags.

I'm having a rather strange problem with my Ender 3 V2 that's causing me to leave it unplugged and as a result underused.

I used to have my printer set up in my garage but one day noticed that the circuit breaker was tripping overnight resulting my refridgerator to turn off (not ideal.) I kept removing devices until I determined that it was caused by my 3d printer despite the PSU being completely flipped off at the back! This is obviously strange behavior and not ideal for a device that is outside of it's warranty period.

So I'm not sure how to proceed here. Firstly, what type of issue would cause this device to trigger a circuit breaker even when the PSU is turned off? Secondly, is there some way to fix this device that isn't a major PITA? Has anyone else experienced this as well?

Excerpt:

Lauren Burrows, a senior manager of retail strategy at consulting firm Accenture, said the Tim Hortons and Canadian Tire partnership is “so powerful” because it gives both brands more ways to engage their customers across “high-frequency” spending categories -- coffee, gas, household products and auto goods.

“This is a great example of loyalty programs evolving from transactional to truly strategic,” she said in a LinkedIn post.

However, Liza Amlani, principal and co-founder of the Retail Strategy Group, pointed out “this is less about customer delight and more about two legacy brands scrambling for incremental share in an oversaturated loyalty market.”

Canadians are already juggling too many programs, and unless the value proposition is simple, transparent and genuinely rewarding, this risks becoming just another corporate tie-up that benefits the brands more than the shoppers,” she said in an email.

. . .

While such programs deliver discounts for customers, the benefits are even bigger for businesses. Companies get access to a vast trove of information about shopping habits and consumer demographics every time someone enrols in or uses their program. Retailers then use the data to tailor their merchandise and stores to their customer base’s wants and needs, thus maximizing profits.

This collab feels so weird to me, but I'm having a hard time putting that feeling into words. All I can think of is Buy-N-Large from Wall-E... a little bit of corporate apocalypse and consumerist dread. It feels like they are trying to appeal to the pro-canada/boycott US crowd, but in a way nobody asked for. I don't know, maybe someone more eloquent than I can find the right words.

Taking teft's post and putting it to words.
