It’s not better in every way. For long term reliability and ability to repair and upgrade, Prusa is far superior.
If your hobby is 3d printERS sure (and more power to you), but for many people (me included) the hobby is 3d printING

For semaglutide, the newest and most potent GLP1.
United States: The main patent is expected to expire around 2032. Monthly Price: $950 - $1,350+ (cash price without insurance)
Norway: The main patent is expected to expire around 2031. Monthly Price: $109 - $301 (cash price equivalent in USD)
I'll note that in the US that 1000+ is the "list price". For those paying out of pocket, both zepbound and wegovy offer coupons available to anyone taking it down to $500 (and I'll note that discounted price keeps coming down, slowly, as well)

This is nuts. More than a decade ago Microsoft made a big deal of startup optimisations they had made in the .Net framework.
I had some Windows command-line apps written in C# that always took at least 0.5s to run. It was an annoying distraction. After Microsoft's improvements the same code was running in 0.2s. Still perceptible, but a great improvement. This was on a cheap laptop bought in 2009.
I'm aware that .Net is using a different runtime now, but I'm amazed that it so slow on a high-end modern laptop.
To be fair, this is timing early bits of a preview feature. Compiled .NET apps have much better startup perf.

What other languages have this feature? I'm not aware of any
C# has InterpolatedStringHandler which isn't quite the same thing, but (in my understanding), trying to address the same core issues.

Bluesky has the "Discover" feed that is definitely not only people you follow (sometimes, when it feels like it, they'll be on top of it).
Correct. But you choose to look at that feed. It's not the only one available to you. I have like 6 different feeds at any one time.

That it gives no-one pause to make disparaging remarks against white males, and violent allusions towards the outgroup are tolerated. That is not the vibe I want to see. I would hope that, starting fresh, there would be more cultural backlash against racial and gendered stereotypes and violence.
Then you block those people, and never see their stupid opinions again.

Bluesky is the worst of old Twitter concentrated into one place. It's some weird mixture of the hall monitors of Mastodon crossed with wannabe members of the weather underground. Like a leftwing Gab full of only Kara Swisher and Taylor Lorenz types. This sort of of faux outrage at adobe is par for the course - its awful over there.
X is much more of an ideological mix.
My X experience was far more partisan than Bluesky. Not being able to get away from seeing the latest thoughts of user numero uno was also a turn off.

If a new a Twitter/Bluesky replacement is to promote civil discourse, it will need to _restrict_ reach as a core feature. Which... seems antithetical to a social media platform. But as long as "enragement = engagement" holds true, each new social media platform will eventually devolve into the same kind of cesspool as its predecessors.
But...restricted reach is exactly how Bluesky works. People you follow show up in your feed, and only them. You can look at other feeds that are not as restricted, but you are making that choice.

Then act against the Biden administration that approved it.
Move against those that approved its use.
That would be an interesting turn of events.
... but I think the argument goes "Signal can be used for unclassified communication, so we are OK"... great! .... but why were specific war plans and CIA officer names NOT classified? There are definite problems either way you slice it.
