  • I’m referring to the relationship between someone offering you more money for the same work the difference of which gets passed on to consumers.

    A few consumers are going to a business and offering more money for the same work. The consumer is the business’s boss just like your boss might offer you more money. You aren’t going to turn down the raise because it will hurt other consumers just like the business isn’t going to turn down the money even though it will cost other consumers more.

    and if i did i sure as hell wouldn’t care if their CEOs got a paycut to benefit the consumers

    I brought that up because that wasn’t going to happen. If you get a raise, your boss isn’t going to take a paycut to make it happen. The raise comes from the consumers.




  • you’re robbing yourself of the opportunity to grow and expand your horizons as a creator,

    I have never used AI for my 3d modeling but please. EVERY remix on printables is “stolen”. But actually not stolen because the cc license says “USE IT for non commercial”.

    What you are describing is “Don’t use a service that steals for you. Spend years learning how to steal by yourself.” If you aren’t the Picasso of your generation and inventing an entirely new style like cubism, you are only stealing ideas that you see around you and teaching yourself how to incorporate those stolen ideas.

    Many people are trying to solve little problems like “I want a 3d model of my cat.”, not change the art world.










  • Are you sure it’s 35% ? I’ve found those cheap digital hygrometers to be off by 10-15%.

    I bought a box and some say 10 and some say 20. I ended up buying several different brands and price ranges of hygrometers to try and figure out which ones were correct.

    I use cereal boxes with desiccant and without any active dehumidifier they stay at ~25% despite being frequently opened and closed. So like others suggested, put a large flow-through bin of desiccant in and forget about it.

    Also is that a compressor dehumidifier? I suspect it’s a desiccant wheel because it’s so tiny.






  • They are large and heavy. They are only useful for their virtually infinite life. If the military needed it for a few of their bases, they’d contract it out, a few hundred would be built and that’s it.

    For example a few thousand ISDN adapters were built for the government military. But it lacked corporate support because the Telcos didn’t want it cutting into their profits. So ISDN barely existed for consumers. Consumers suffered with 56k modems for 5-10 years until broadband- which telcos sold for more than a phone line, were immune from all the competition requirements of regular phone lines, plus got TV programming profit.
