With the way you defend the USD, I suspect you have a sizeable investment in it.

It was Nashville, not Uvalde.

From what I’ve seen, middle of the road 300 mm Voron V2.4 kits are around $1300. I believe the lowest I’ve seen was around $950, excluding printed parts (which the same company was selling separately for over $200). When I tried compiling a BOM with self-sourced high quality parts, the total reached over $1700 before I gave up on that idea. Where have you seen $600 kits? If these are still available, I may consider one. However, I’m hesitant to go with a kit that may have lower quality components. Personally, I’m really excited for this new Prusa and will probably pick up a kit once they are available. Unless, of course, Vorons are really that affordable.

A Voron V2.4 for cost of this kit ($950 / 1050 EUR)? Sure buddy.

This is not their first core XY and they redesigned the hotend with the PrusaXL and MK4. As far as I’ve seen, they are the only printer company using a strain gauge in the hotend for bed leveling, that they also use for detecting clogs while printing. Also, the new printer’s price is comparible to the similar model from Bambu with a metal frame and enclosed print bed (X1C). And, as you pointed out, they always maintained the same serviceability (I’ll add upgradability). Therefore, I definitely don’t agree that they are playing catch up.

I think that must be post split then. If it was pre-split, those would be $8.75 shares, which is a very good price and you would be way up.

Not sure how that’s possible unless you only bought back in 2021. Within the last 2 years, it actually peaked in May of this year around $65. Otherwise, it’s been pretty stable around $20-$30. There’s been plenty of time to get a low average cost and take profit when it starts running again. Now that they have year-over-year profitability and $4-billion in cash, I expect there will be future opportunities too.

To make people happy, I think it would take a return to a running average of 2%. This requires a temporary drop below 2%, perhaps even to 0 or negative. Otherwise, you’re just telling them to suck it up and embrace the new normal.

No. If you would look at the graph in the link you posted, you would see that 2020 is right before the huge spike in inflation. This sustained spike explains the current outrage over increased prices.

Oh neat! Inflation only exists if it happened in the last 12 months. /s

Accumulative inflation is a thing, and it is up 21.8% since 2020.

People are not goldfish with minds that reset every year. Per your own link, accumulative inflation is up 21.8% since 2020.

Good. With Israel’s aggression, Iran deserves a nuclear deterrent. Thank you Trump!

I also have the TimeStack and it’s great. However, my one complaint is that there’s no external power switch, and therefore, seems to use up batteries quicker than it should.

Sure, but in 2023, someone could already be selling a 2022 as used. That $29k number is going to be skewed by those who sell younger cars. You can still find used cars much cheaper than this.

For that $554 payment, you would need $6648 in additional yearly maintenance costs on an older vehicle to compare. That’s like a new engine or transmission, every year!

Anecdotally, I drive a 32-year-old car that I purchased, coincidentally, for $3200 around 7 years ago. I haven’t spent even close to $6648 in maintenance that entire time (probably not even another $3200).

With the $554 average new car payment in the original post, you can afford that $10k new-to-you used car outright in cash every 18 months.

Sure, if hubcaps were something to get enraged about. I don’t think that’s remotely comparable, but you do you.

Por que no los dos? I’m free to be disgusted with funeral costs and you’re free to make your point.

It shouldn’t cost $60,000 to bury anyone.

To listen to…
