It doesn't matter. You can't cherry-pick. A majority of Germans also didn't vote for Hitler, yet it was called "Nazi Germany" after the election and nobody denies it on the basis that he didn't get the absolute majority of the votes.
America voted for fascism. I don't care if only a third of Americans are actively fascist, another third stayed home like the fat lazy slobs they are, and the remaining third lost to the first one: the net result is a fascist America.
When a majority of Americans vote for fascism, that makes America a fascist nation. You may be a nice guy but you're not in the majority, so you're not representative of this country.
As for being nice, why should I be nice with this piece of refuse human being?
This racist bitch is proof that Trump and MAGA did not happen in a vacuum: she IS America. - the racist, bigoted, fascist America that this nation truly is.
Ultra-rich psychopaths only do philanthropy for two reasons:
1/ Tax evasion
2/ Currying favors from left-leaning governments and improving their image
The Trump regime eliminated the need for 2/. The Billionnaires now feel free and empowered to be themselves openly and without shame.
The crime brotherhood protects its own kind.
Most of that pressure is artificially created to get lawmakers to sign bills without reading. Creating a sense of urgency is a classic scamming technique and it's used extensively in the political world, because most politicos are really nothing more than con artists.
Something tells me Clarence Thomas recently had his motorhome jazzed up for free...
Using Copilot even as a mere coding assistance is insane, if no other reason than you're sending all your code to Microsoft, and you also let them monitor your work habits in uncomfortably intimate details.
I didn't do it on purpose. It just happened. I guess living out in the sticks does help: it's not like we don't have electricity or internet out here, but the first neighbor is 3 miles away, the town is 5 miles, and we have real starry nights here. So it's quite easy to turn off the light and experience a, quiet peaceful night at the hours at which sleep should be happening naturally.
I fall asleep around 8 or 9 pm and I wake up around midnight or 1am, watch something quiet and peaceful so I learn something interesting without falling fully awake - and more importantly without waking up the missus - then I simply fall back asleep until 5 am.
I live above the arctic circle, so when it's winter, I usually sleep longer. And when it's summer and it's daytime all night long, of course I sleep less. But on average, I sleep 2 x 4 hours per night. I feel just as refreshed as when I slept 1 x 8 hours. But perhaps feel less "disconnected", if that makes any sense.
I practice biphasic sleep - have done for decades.
I usually put on a light documentary - something about nature or technology, not exciting, terrible or controversial.
So I played with all kinds of settings in PrusaSlicer. Nothing changed anything.
The only things that did improve the outcome some was:
Forcing the letters to be printed first: then the letters are smooshed and bleed into the background instead of the other way round, which arguably looks better / more legible. Nothing to write home about though.
Dropping the first layer's height to 0.1mm (the other layers are 0.2mm high): that improves the letters a bit.
Dropping the first layer's height to 0.05mm: because the first layer is so thin, it becomes kind of translucent and the wider white letter beneath it sort of show through. The net result is that it drops a kind of gaussian blur onto the lettering, which actually improves them - especially at a distance.
Other than that, there's just nothing for it. And half of the suggestions I got concern other slicers, and I couldn't find them or equivalents in PrusaSlicer. Oh well...
I guess that's as good as it's gonna get.
I'm printing those little cable pull tabs on our Prusa XL printer. In the models, I added markings to identify the type of cable, printed directly into the tabs with a different color PLA loaded on head #2.
The problem I have, as you can see, is that the white letters are "overrun" by the back surroundings.
I have to print those parts face down: when the first layer is laid down onto the bed, the black surrounding is printed first with head #1, leaving empty space for the symbols, then head #2 comes in and fill in the spaces after the head change:
The problem apparently is that the black material gets "smooshed out" on the bed and partly fills in the void, and then the white PLA doesn't have enough space to make nice, sharp letters.
It wouldn't be a big problem with larger letters: they would just look like they have fuzzy edges. But those letters are 3.5mm in height and only two 0.4mm-wide lines at the most, so it's basically all fuzziness.
It doesn't happen when I print face up. But then I have to have support for the tabs' walls, and since I print those things by the hundreds, I'm really not keep on having to remove support on hundreds of tiny parts. So it's not an option.
I tried printing slower but it doesn't change much of anything. Not to mention, again, I have to print those things as fast as possible to print as many as possible overnight.
And of course I can't increase the size of the letters: they're as big as the tabs' size will allow.
The letters are readable enough, but they don't really look great. Is there any trick to reduce or eliminate this? I was thinking of trying to print the white first with head #2, then the black with head #1, but I can't find an option in Prusa Slicer to invert the order in which the heads are used.

Not to mention the "Governor Trudeau" extra-dumb.
God I hate politics-by-Twitter. I'm appalled that the US is turning into a fascist country, but I'm even more appalled by how pathetic, puerile and trashy the US' new fascist overlords are. At least Hitler dressed in Hugo Boss and made speeches that enthralled people: MAGA dresses like tramps, Steve Bannon-stylee and bullies other countries like kids on the playground.
I'm not condemning anything or anybody. There are plenty of good Americans in Trump's Nazi America like there were plenty of good Germans in Hitler's Nazi Germany. But good minorities in fascist countries don't make those countries any less fascist.
