The $25/mo plan is unlimited GB but subject to throttling because it is not premium data.
The $45/mo plan is 50 GB of premium data before you're subject to possible throttling on the rest unlimited GB.
I hear that throttling is rare except large events, so I'm willing to risk it, I only use about 5 GB mobile data per month anyways.

If you want to be on Verizon, check out Visible. Same network, but way cheaper. Bring your own device or use one of their cheap options.

Yeah, but unlike other old people, we're still cool, right? RIGHT???

Yes the hotend heats up and has molten plastic inside it and it gets pushed out the nozzle. I'm honestly not sure why they offer all those different versions as accessories. It includes a hotend and 0.4mm nozzle.

If you have a catastrophic issue it's possible for the hotend to be clogged completely, but that's never happened to me. It comes with a declogging tool which is just a long pokey wire to push up through the nozzle while it's hot to clear it.

The nozzle itself can unscrew from the hot end and be replaced because it wears out over time from filament chipping away at it.

Also, you might want different nozzle diameters depending on what you're printing. You can just buy spare nozzles without an entire hotend.

It comes with 0.4mm and they offer a range from like 0.2-1.0mm. The smaller nozzles print slower and more detailed while the larger nozzles are faster with lower resolution.

There's a rabbit hole of things that can go wrong and things that need to be calibrated and upgraded. I had to assemble the Ender 3 and ensure that everything was perfectly straight, level, and 90 degrees. Calibrate the z-offset so it knows where the nozzle is.

I added an auto bed leveling sensor to my Ender 3, and that required custom firmware, and I replaced the bed springs because it wasn't staying level.

I calibrated the e-steps because it wasn't extruding consistently, then ended up replacing the extruder because it was cheap and unreliable.

Humidity was ruining my filament on the spools and making it brittle and snapping so I built a dry box that could feed the printer, similar to the clear boxes on some Bambu models.

The Bambu really was as simple as unboxing and turning it on. It comes pre-assembled and includes a lot more sensors that are able to keep it working smoothly.

My vote is for Bambu printers. I started with a super cheap Ender 3 V2 in 2020 and recently we got a Bambu X1 at work and it's so much easier, faster, and better. No more hours of troubleshooting issues, it just calibrates itself and goes.

The P1P is cheaper and might be a good option to look at. These printers are highly recommended on the reddit community too.

It's not that the US economy is better than others, it is just trusted to be the default place for people to invest their excess money which has resulted in most of the US stock market being overvalued compared to the rest of the world.

"U.S. stocks' outperformance on average over the past half-century or so has simply been due to increasing price multiples, not an improvement in business fundamentals. That is, U.S. companies did not generate more profit than international companies; their stocks just got more expensive. [...] Cheap stocks have greater expected returns and expensive stocks have lower expected returns."

Yeah and it seems obvious that they shouldn't be driving vehicles where people are laying. This is the third person I've heard of being run over by police on a beach this summer.

Thanks, I think the RGB shirt might be custom to him because the same image is his YouTube channel's profile header image.

Does Technology Connections sell shirts? In most of his recent videos he has worn a black shirt with zoomed in RGB pixels from a digital display and I've been looking for it everywhere because I work in a related industry.

Side question: Should't it also be illegal for Hallie Biden to dispose of an illegal firearm by putting it in a trash can outside a grocery store for a random person to find? That seems like a very irresponsible way to handle a firearm and evidence.
