  • Don’t vote, don’t get to complain.

    Not saying that you have to vote when you dislike the options given. But you do have other options. Like spoiling your ballot, or nullify your ballot.

    Yes the results are the same, but by voting this way, you are actively participating in your democratic process. While not voting at all you are not. And if you do not participate, in my view, you cannot complain about the results.

    Oh and if you don’t know how, on election day just ask the poll workers. They should’ve been trained on how to handle it.





  • When I was in Uni, we had the opportunity to apply for co-op at Black Berry when they still made phones with their own OS.

    I was getting into mobile dev at this time and applied and got an interview.

    I didn’t know what I was expecting but what I got was a 10-20min sales pitch for their phone and I wasn’t asked a question… I don’t think. From what I gathered afterwards they just wanted to hire/rehire one guy and had to interview others to be in the co-op program.

    Believe it or not I wasn’t sold on black berry after that.



  • For me I was looking for reliability, so I ended up with Prusa. But I ended up with them thanks to a few simple rules I followed.

    1. Can the machine and it’s parts be replaced with off shelf components?

    2. Does it use, or is the platform compatible with open source slicers (Prusaslicer/Cura)?

    3. Does the community support the device with mods on 3D model repositories (Thingiverse/Printables)?

    4. Does the manufacturer have a track record for support (or the lack thereof)?

    Before I got my Prusa, the Creality Ender 3 was the goto, and it was a really reliable machine. For my printing needs I need a direct drive print head, and a better auto bed leveling routine. But the Ender 3 s1 looks pretty good as an alternative.
