My own anecdote was about polycarbonate printing. But I would be very scientifically comfortable that ANY plastic brought at or above its glass transition state is going to outgas toxic materials. And that includes PLA, ABS, HIPS, polycarbo

Yep. I was also one of those employees that was "given" a 2% raise. I made a point to say, "So, that's a 6% pay cut when comparing to inflation?" The call got real quiet, and then moved on to other topics. Lest to s

Long story short: it's perfectly OK to lie on governmental forms, provided you don't get caught. Forms also lack any nuance, so mild funny things appear to be "serious transgressions worthy of the state apparatus".
