Everyone should start intentionally misgendering Missus Keith Self.

While thats true in the real long run during stable times, that also assumes there are not overt outside pressures forcing the market in one direction.

Trump does not bring stable times and is actively sabotaging economic stability.

How long before Trump also says "ok therr is ceasefire, that means wars over, i win! we can lift all sanctions on Russia effective immediately"?

haha this was the only way I ever got anything submitted in college and was able to still get high grades

wait what do you mean I'm now incapable of self regulating my time at a professional job without steady deadline flow and am a permanent procrastinator that is wholly "unmotivated"?

That's why I said "for now". I was mulling buying in after the election when corporate interests were riding high on a "pro business" President. But I didn't. Now I have that cash free to buy in when we hit the bottom of the slump, if there is a bottom...

Looks like I might have made the right choice keeping my non-401k savings out of a market index fund for now.

IMO having the ability to do TPU is way more versatile than going to another rigid structural filament.
ABS/ASA is just "pla but more impact resistant".
TPU is "haha funny squishy wait this turns into a living hinge?" and opens up a TON of print opportunities.
I had a lot more fun trying out TPU (both high and low durometers) than switching to any other kind of filament. Whatever you print basically becomes shockproof l, is squishy/bendy, and you can chuck it across a room full-force with no problems. Super fun.

However, TPU is happiest with a direct drive extruder. High durometer (95a) TPU's are fine, but not optimal, in bowden extruders, while low durometer (Ninjaflex) straight up won't print right thru a bowden. So keep your type of printer in mind when shopping for spools of test filament.
