While your quote is meant to be snarky, my understanding is that sign isn't at Dachau any longer

It seems strange that they removed the sign after the fact. Unless it was to prevent theft.

Copperhead Road in Johnson County TN (that Copperhead Road) is now known as Copperhead Hollow Road for that reason.

Well, it’s also the courts. The government recently tried to break up Google but the judge refused

Bidens administration was breaking up Google before Trump came in and stopped the breakup.

Elections have consequences.

Matt Stoller is always worth reading.

I second this. Occasionally the head will jam, but it is easy to clean them out. But, the A1 mini is the first device that really just works. It's so much fun.

Do not be an idiot like I was and try to print in an outdoor atrium to avoid fumes. That's really not an issue these days and humidity will kill your filament. For many reasons related to humidity control, it is useful to invest in a humidity monitoring filament holder.
