Simply changing the nozzle makes the print so much smoother
My company ordered a 0.4mm ObXidian nozzle for our Prusa Mk4 printer. We ordered it because someone wanted to print something with abrasive carbon-fiber-reinforced filament.
It's mounted now and It's the same diameter as the stock nozzle we've been using so far. Since I had to run a print and the bgcode file was made for 0.4mm, I just ran the print with plain old PLA.
And... wow! The difference in quality is staggering. Particularly on vertical walls: they're so smooth and shiny, it's incredible. And the top surfaces are so much nicer and smoother than with the regular nozzle. I printed that particular print several times before and while it wasn't bad, it's never been that good.
I didn't realize the nozzle impacted the quality of the print that much.

1100 Declassified U.S. Nuclear Targets - Future of Life Institute
On December 22, 2015, the United States released declassified lists of targets for a massive nuclear strike on the USSR, Eastern Bloc countries, and China.
The secret document, compiled in 1956, spans 800 pages and reveals strategic points for a potential U.S. nuclear attack in the event of war with the USSR.
The list includes 179 targets in Moscow, 145 in Leningrad, and 91 in East Berlin, Beijing, and Warsaw.
The most shocking entry in this list is point No. 275—"population": alongside military and industrial facilities, civilian populations in residential areas were also marked for elimination.

France's military is being ousted from more African countries. Here's why
It’s been a tumultuous month for France and its relationship with former colonies in Africa, as its influence on the continent faces the biggest challenge in decades.MONIKA PRONCZUK (AP News)
There is a huge issue with Wagner being accused of killing and raping people and China is literally buying everything.
Rejecting strongly the current french military will probably create a weird situation for them...
Chinese relations with the global South is infinitely better than American/Britiish/french relations. I absolutely welcome china but not so much about Russia
I don't particularly have an issue with the positions themselves, but I'm kind of sad that those african countries are just leaving an issue and welcoming another. It is true that the infrastructure are being developed but then the countries are not developing because they don't benefit long term. You could argue that they will benefit from better transports in general which is true but it only holds up until China is doing fine economically (which it isn't exactly today).
I don't care if it's a western country or not I'm just trying to find what would benefit those countries, and it doesn't seem that buying everything there will (or putting soldiers with other colors and ideas)
Their growth decreased quite a lot but they're still not entirely a developed economy. The real estate bubble kind of exploded leaving quite a lot of people on the side.
They have a demographic problem due to their past policies, social issues with work, the fact that you can't find a job after 30, and their wages being reduced by a pretty large percent (my sources are saying around 30-40%, can't find an official number because they do not exist).
It's the first time since a really long time that China came back to a single digit growth and this is not something you revert in a few months. It's not the end of China or anything but they're definitely not at their highest and won't be for some time. Meaning that political long-term investments may not be the priority and that they may give up those whenever they want, not when the country that benefited those will not need them anymore.
Again, not saying western countries are doing much better. But some are doing relatively worse than what they should be doing than others.
Their growth decreased quite a lot but they’re still not entirely a developed economy
Their real gdp growth is still above 5% per year and their industry already far surpasses anything the "developed" economies have.
their wages being reduced by a pretty large percent (my sources are saying around 30-40%, can’t find an official number because they do not exist).
Yeah you are just making shit up. This is complete nonsense.
The private luxury real estate market crashed, the only people hurt by this are foreign investors and people dumb enough to copy us strategies to build wealth instead of doing something of value with their lives. No one was made homeless.
Your second paragraph only affects the private sector, and thats generally true of all private economies right now; China just doesn't allow their private economy to effect the needs of the people.
Your third is mostly nonsense as no long term strategies have changed in the last few years except far more talks on whether real estate should be privatized in any way or if the private side of that industry has outlived it's usefulness; and of course an acceleration of space goals due to the potential for the EU and musk to take all useful leo orbits.
but it only holds up until China is doing fine economically (which it isn’t exactly today).
Lol. Lmao even. Chinese trade with Africa is at an all time high and growing rapidly.
I was on the way home Sunday with my kid. Going down a road that's 30mph. My house is on the left. I run my blinker on to turn into my driveway. A BMW speeds up and tries to pass on my left. Nearly T-Boned me. All I saw was the medallion and a lit-up UBER sign on the dash.
They managed to stop, flip me off, and sped away before I could even get my window down. What the fuck is thier issue?
