Who took away our option to vote to make things better?
The first past the post election system did.
If you want things to get better in elections, you need to get rid of primaries. Instead implement a voting scheme where you aren't punished for ranking your desires honestly.
In the current system, the only votes that matter are the ones for the two leading candidates. Any other vote is equivalent to not voting.
I mean, I have, but I saw this long before he started trying to smelt Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCnZClWwpQ
With or without my current knowledge?
Because I'm pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be "ending the stone age".
Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.
As someone that has one, I'd say more than 80%. That might be accurate if you only print other peoples' designs, but for functional parts I've designed, 80% are a total non-issue, 10% need to be rotated 45 degrees on the build plate, 5% need minor redesign to fit, and the rest I was able to break into multiple prints without issue.
Even if you eventually need a bigger printer, I'd still buy this one. I've definitely run into situations where I need to print multiples more often than I've wanted to print something big.
Eh, Pluto isn't really something proven false, just that we found more objects like Pluto that made more sense in their own category. It's classification, like there weren't always separate categories for feature films and short films, there wasn't a separate category for dwarf planets when it was just Pluto.
Oxford comma is useful. I think what's getting popular is just complete disregard for spelling and grammar.
But then you're buying the phone from google, which is not great if you're trying to boycott google.
I've had measuring cups where all the markings come off.
I bought a harbor freight heat gun. All I'll use it for is lighting charcoal. Very uneven heat, and will melt itself if you don't turn it nozzle up when you turn it off.
I think all headsets fall in this category, never had one last a year without repairs. I've replaced so much of my current headphones that it doesn't even look like the same model anymore.
I don't think it has much practicality, just get some known straight/square object and attach your test indicator to the toolhead. Measure your motion error directly.
While voting, the only votes that matter are for the 2 leading parties. A third party vote is equivalent to not voting. Outside of the voting booth, there's more you can do to push what you actually want. Doing stuff other than voting doesn't mean you have to completely waste your vote too.
