I was corrected endlessly until I used water-vuh-leet.

Pronounced water-vuh-leet in the bastardized Dutch that is rampant in upstate NY.

Haha, I watched the David Lynch Dune after I really enjoyed the new one and was flabbergasted by the weirding modules. It was a fun watch though!

I usually see people saying the batteries will catch fire and the toxic gasses will kill everyone within 3 miles. Like many NIMBY complaints, they are barely based in reality and blown away out of proportion.

I've seen a dozen or so grid scale battery projects local to me in the NE. The majority are hung up in litigation with local NIMBY opposition. The scale of the opposition always surprises me, I can't help but wonder how much is grassroots vs anti-renewable lobby.

A place I worked at had a "union scare" as management called it. They forced everybody to watch anti-union propaganda video. It was tough to stifle the laughs because it was so cartoonish and infantilizing. Management keep eyeing the employees during the whole thing.

It certainly left a bad taste in my mouth.

I was a bit conflicted with the success of Bambu because they indicated their consumer hostility somewhat early on. I'd much prefer that for a company that furthers the ecosystem and encourages openness like Prusa or Ultimaker. Bambu kept making super compelling products though. I'm hoping that they see this as an opportunity to repent and reshape the company. It feels like they're more likely to dig in their heels. Luckily this controversy is before they could really establish monopoly like Adobe.
