Maybe it's playing devil's advocate but how is this consistent? Can you put a listing in Amazon, booking, Airbnb.. and tell the customer 'don't buy it here! Come to my site or call directly to us and we'll give you a better price without Amazon's (or any other) cut!'? Also with the third party apps/stores on iOS (which I support more than this one even if I feel that it can go very wrong) I don't see them doing it with other platforms like Nintendo's or Sony's (PlayStation).

I think it is unlikely. The us is extremely expensive compared to Russia or China, like a janitor in an American weapon factory is probably better paid (in absolute terms, not taking into account cost of living or anything) that a top engineer in a Russian or Chinese one. I don't think they could afford them.

Do a search for 'sedes (or sedia) stercoraria' and/or 'Pope Joan'.

While you are right on everything said there's only three requirements to be pope: having a penis, being baptized in the Catholic Church, and having being ordered a bishop. The last too can be done real quick in a pinch so the only hard pre-requisite is having your junk hanging down there, no need to be a priest even.

Does she have a penis? Because that and be baptized in the Catholic Church are the only requisites. And they DO check! They have a special chair for that purpose and all.

No. I'm not claiming such a thing, read the comment again, please. I wasn't even one-upping the Americans just equating the situation–they have fascists, we have fascists, Oprah's voice 'everybody gets fascists!'...

The tech very much has existed for a few years now, but not on a home setting. I don't know about this product because as you said there's very little info, but as professional and industrial uv printers go the consumables would be the uv-curable ink (which is some nasty shit) and the parts that get in contact with it–printheads, caps, wipers, dampers, filters, pumps... not every printer has all of these but all will have some way of delivering the ink to and to clean the printhead(s). They have white and usually varnish inks, and they chug these two while the colour layer is similar to that of a regular inkjet printer. They also waste ink on the cleaning (that you'll do a lot) and this one seem to include a tank or cartridge for fluid for auto-flushing. Also electric and electronic components degrade and fail as well. None of those come cheap, uv lamps are pretty pricy too but last long (I don't know about this one, it seems pretty small. The ones I've seen are more robust with radiators and fans, the cheapest of which costs more by itself than this whole machine) if you take care of them.

The latter. Think an inkjet printer with uv-curable ink, and instead of paper it prints on anything you can put on its bed. They come with white ink, and usually varnish. You can make some relief with more quantity/layers of white and/or varnish. In industrial/professional shops is rare to see these '3d' (also referred as 2.5d) effects, I only know one that prints high-end-ish pieces (for a big markup I guess) and one that specializes in prints for blind people so they use it for putting braille in lots of things, mainly for the time it takes (and I'm talking about professional machines) so most people do flat prints that are also pretty cool.

Absolutely not? Like, we have real og facists™️ (not gatekeeping 'it's not fascisim if it doesn't come from the Fascia region in Italy, it's just sparkling authoritarianism', just saying that there's a continuity and fascist traditional over here) and they have an important presence in our politics since forever.

Aye but light, being a wave, doesn't travel at the same speed in every medium. In a high refractive index media the wavelengths of visible light would be shorter. Would this not reduce the effect of diffraction on them for normal-sized pupils?

Look again, mate! The one on the right, almost out of the shot.

What if the refractive index of elvish eyes were somehow absurdly high? Paired with a very high resolution and sensitivity retina of course.
