Don't just hope, consider donating money or your time to his campaign. You don't have to be in Nebraska. This fight isn't over.

Oh you lucky bastard! I hope he won your support and you'll consider supporting him outside of the ballot box too.

Bingo! I will absolutely take someone who is staunchly pro-labor and pro-Roe, but maybe iffy on other "liberal" policies, over someone who is an out-and-out a corrupt corporate shill willing to overthrow American democracy for the party line.

Supposedly. My other problem is sales on all gross receipts multiply on finished goods. as now you're charging 3% on raw materials, 3% on any intermediate goods, and 3% on final products, plus whatever % the companies are going to redirect to administer the collection of the tax... so what was a reasonable tax at first now results in a possible 9% or more increase in costs on all finished goods, which further eliminates a lot of the lower income benefit.

It would have been fine if it was a profit tax, since the point of profit taxes is to disincentivize profit hoarding and promote reinvestment/wage growth. Thats why the ridiculously high federal marginal corporate tax rates of the 50s and 60s actually worked, businesses would make more overall by keeping profits (percentage wise) low but reinvesting their excess in the business and their workers.
Of course theres a downside on profit taxes too, if implemented in this manner, they have the additional knock on effect of driving business (and higher paying jobs) away from the state and are harder/way more expensive to quantify/administer if you want to do it per product sold in the state.

I fully expect to get railed in the ass by the average Lemmy left-winger by this but I'm honestly not voting for it.

I'm largely opposed to it. Because it's (seemingly intentionally) mis-marketed as a corporate tax when it is definitely by any sense of the word a sales tax. Sales taxes on gross receipts are inherently regressive and passed onto those consumers who are dis-proportionally impacted more the lower their income.

It does kinda, if you browse using the Hot sorting stuff with 0 or less net score typically won't show up unless you go quite a few pages back.

It's not mysterious, it's just capital

 

Stratasys is losing ground because their massively overpriced ecosystem is getting outclassed by literally everything else in the market. So why improve if you can just sue your competition out of the US market?

 

I've been doing functional ABS and ASA lately and had a couple very annoying warpage spots. One was a total failure. (We won't talk about the other 3 failures that were wet out-of-the-box Bambu ASA...)

The X1C is definitely nice, but the all aluminum-and-glass side panelling has a sometimes-unwanted side effect: thermal conduction.
The aluminum sides are so conductive that they do not allow the chamber temp to go above 40C, even after a couple hours of heat soaking the build plate at 100C before starting an ABS print.
Enter: One random bath towel. doesn't look like much but just covering the three sides with a thin layer means it's good enough insulation to get the chamber up to 50C now! And the ABS parts look better than ever- every C counts.

 
 

Potentially big changes are coming to ODOT's funding model in the next few years. There are holes that the state can't patch.

 

Sorely needed.

100% chance that they'll still need to toll traffic to cover the remaining few billion in costs but it is a good step forward.

 

Context: when creating drawings from parts/assemblies, you can use a foreshortening break on any derived views (section, detail, projected). However, by default, inventor will propagate that break to the parent base view... which usually completely blows up a different sheet in the document that I don't even realize -_-

Not once have I EVER wanted to propagate a break in a derived view to the parent base view...

Get fucked, intuit!
