Do you have to bring your own or do you just want to bring your own? If the later, I'd probably recommend a "spinning setup" since baitcasters have more of a learning curve unless you make them so tight you can only throw 10ft. Shimano or Diawa on a medium fast rod for me. If you are going with a guide or a buddy with a boat I'm sure both would have a pole you can use.
If being local is important to you then you should probably specify locality. That said, I doubt anyone is going to want to meet face to face for 3 hours of work. People who do this type of work are very accustomed to meeting/collaborating virtually and/or asynchronously.

Its certainly doable, but its not just some layup low hanging fruit unlock. You have to build and maintain the infrastructure for storing/hosting images, again not super complicated but it is something else that needs to be done/maintained. Also, now you are responsible for these dumbass images posted here...forever. Every old thread with a missing image is proof that some service thought hosting images was a good idea and later failed. So, I can see why TD doesn't want to mess with it.
Google Pixel Fold is the name of the first one, Then Fold 2. Then I think they synced it up with the Pixel, so, like Google Pixel 10 Fold.
Resin printing is messy and just all around more involved/complicated than FDM. Sure it has its place, but the people who want a resin printer aren't the people who post generic 3D printer gift advice threads without any information about what they want to do with the printer. Those people want an A1 or P1S so they/their kids can print trinkets off Maker World.

I would NOT get a resin printer.

Bambu Lab is having a pretty killer sale right now. You can get the P1S for $399 or the A1 for $279.

I like the "Apple STILL doing it" here because this guy knows Apple has been caught doing shady shite in the past. Like from 2014 to December 2024 Siri spying case that very recently just settled. On top of selling their users to Google, as already mentioned, and remember when they got caught for their ongoing strategy of making old phones shitty to try to get it's users to buy new ones?

re: Damn. Nice sale on Pixels.

That may have been me, and I meant literally felt premium in the hand, but i understand that is totally subjective.

Has Apple ever lost or settled a complaint/suit against them for privacy related issues, or otherwise been found to be guilty of dishonest practices?

i think they are probably pretty even minus any exclusive games they may want to play. something to consider is if they have friends with consoles and what consoles they have. If thats a factor, would lean towards however that skews since it will probably make it easier for them to play with their friends..
I put one of these in my old truck, not sure if it was the brand you are talking about but they all looked the exact same at the time. It worked great for the few years i used it, but I would get the absolute highest claimed specs you can.

Yeah that toy box looks like a pretty terrible deal. $11 for a 1/2 lb proprietary roll of PLA is a major rip when the rest of the 3D printing world is paying like ~$15 for 2.2lbs of PLA. And you have to pay for the models?

Bambu A1 + MakerWorld free models + ~$15 for 2.2lbs PLA

You get free sound machine when running the fan, no additional power required.
I had to do something similar about 10 yrs ago to run a program to control my CNC mill bc it only ran on XP. I skipped the VM and just brought an old desktop out of retirement.
