Not true. I’m a gamer, and I don’t hate women. I just hate when they won’t sleep with me even though I took a shower last week and held the door for her at Starbucks.
Saying they picked their parents wisely is a sarcastic way of saying they were lucky which family they were born into, in a way that pokes fun at our tendency to attribute their success to decisons rather than luck and circumstance. The reviewer does not honestly believe they consciously selected their own parents lmao
It perfectly fits with the rest of their argument that billionaires owe their success to luck and circumstance more than whatever magical secrets the book author is claiming. Not sure what else to tell ya bud.
If enough people love it, then full service pumps will still hang around as an option. Personally as someone who lived in Minneapolis for 20 years, full service pumps would have been fucking amazing in the winter, but mandating them by law is just stupid.
The fact that full service doesn’t exist even in the frozen tundra of MN leads me to believe very few people are actually willing to pay extra for it.
If people were willing to pay what it cost for those services, they would still be commonplace.
Blame the people who will drive across town to save 10 cents on a can of soup as much as the companies who have found competing on price to be a viable strategy.
You can still fly with plenty of luxury and service, but you’re going to pay more than a cheap coach seat. I can go to a store where my groceries are bagged for me, but their prices are higher than Aldi, where bags are not provided. I can get custom steaks cut to my liking, but it’s going to cost me well north of the pre cut steaks at Costco.
Who knows if full service will stick around. If it costs and extra $.50 or $1.00/gal to fill up, are more than a tiny fraction of people going to pay for it? Probably not, but at least people aren’t being forced to pay for a service they don’t value.

I like it. It’s hard to describe, but it feels like absurdist GenZ humor dished up in a way that’s familiar to those of us who grew up on lolcats and rage comics. You have successfully bridged a generational gap with memes.
Elder millennial here. Personally I view this as the kind of good natured ribbing that comes from a healthy relationship between an older and younger sibling. I think our generation (and Gen X too) have an overall positive view of Gen Z, but you are out of your mind if you think we’re going to pass up an opportunity to give them some shit when it’s warranted!
Rainmanslim’s comment doesn’t strike me as mean-spirited at all. If anything it’s the opposite of condescending because it acknowledges that the cringiness of being a teenager knows no generational bounds. Embrace it and enjoy it, and then enjoy it again when you’re old enough to laugh at your younger self!
Mate, that is a whole lot of projection and assumptions in one post. You do you, but I hope someday you learn that being able laugh at yourself is a strength not a weakness.
Man, if you are in your 40s and still clinging to this idea that you’ve never done anything embarrassing in your life, have never teased a buddy for something stupid they have done, and feel the need to get all self-righteous on me for enjoying friendly banter between strangers then I don’t know what else there is to say here.
I actually have Marlin + Octoprint but found out recently that Klipper exist. I read everywhere that Klipper is better but I don’t really get why. I understand that Klipper use raspberry as powerfull calculator instead of the STM32 of the printer, but octoprint is used to send Gcode to Marlin too… So what’s the really...
This might be situation dependant, but I personally (Ender 3 S1 Pro) spent weeks searching for ready-made firmware, then learning how to modify and compile firmware, then troubleshooting why I couldn’t get Linear Advance working, only to finally figure out that it just plain wasn’t supported by Marlin on my hardware.
I was about to give up and just go back to the stock Creality firmware, but decided to give Klipper a go without really knowing the full capabilities, other than that it natively supported Pressure Advance. In a fraction of the time I had spent dicking around trying to get a single feature enabled in Marlin, I had my printer running off a slick web interface, fully tuned up and printing substantially better than I was able to achieve with Marlin.
Now, granted, I never tried to get up and running with Octoprint so I probably am only half answering your question, but as a relatively casual printer I have found using and tweaking Klipper to be substantially more straightforward, and would not hesitate to recommend giving it a stab as long as you have a RPi laying around already.

In lots of the old forums I used to use, commenting on a thread would subscribe you to it. I have no idea if the software supports it, but I’d like the ability to sort by New Posts to Subscribed Threads, or something similar. I think being able to keep tabs on activity in threads you have posted in might help prolong the lifetime.
The comment about thread necromancy also brings back memories. I’m not really sure why that was ever such a taboo, especially since reposting old topics was also frowned upon…
can our brains actually learn to comprehend, to envision dimensions beyond the perceptible three? how could you describe higher dimensional shapes in a way that would allow someone to visualise them?
The way that works best for me is to use time as the extra dimension. Each moment you observe is a 3d “slice” of the universe as you move forward in time at a fixed rate.
To analogize, imagine a circle that lives in an XY plane, moving around in this plane as the plane itself glides along in the Z axis. You’d see some weird snakelike structure growing off towards the sky, but the circle only ever experiences it’s movement in the XY plane. It surely remembers where it was before and has some idea where it will be in 5 minutes, but you can see every point of it’s existence in 3D space all at once. Likewise a 4d being could in principle see your entire timeline at a glance.
This has some weird Lovecraftian implications though if you imagine what that 2d circle would see if it a 3d sphere happened to cross through its plane, and then extrapolate that to the 3d world… The exercise is left to the reader 😉
It all depends on the application (which the article doesn’t really get into). There are plenty of electronic devices which dont see particularly demanding lives, and where failure of the electronic components is not what typically leads it to being tossed.
That said, it sounds like it’s only the dielectric substrate that’s biodegradable, which means the traces, plating, solder, and mounted components still need to be dealt with–which is much more concerning than epoxy resin and fiberglass, polyimide, or polyester, depending on what type of pcb is being displaced.
The best use case sounds like it would be to make recycling easier, since once you dissolve the substrate, the rest of the metals should be much easier to recover.
ETA: I currently do a lot of work with medical wearable device development and manufacturing. Those are by nature disposable electronics with lifespans measured in hours or days; and especially in a clinical setting, would be much more likely to end up in the correct waste stream for recycling. That is one good use case I could see for such a product.
Found these two prime ribeyes on sale for $16 a pound. Smoked them at 200 for about 50 minutes. Then pan fried while spooning with butter. Finally I hit it with my cooking torch, topped with compound garlic, and rosemary butter.
For whatever reason I’ve never thought to hit steaks with a torch at the end… My stove has trouble keeping my skillet at good searing temp, so I will be trying this next time! 🤤
I mean, going off the community description, it’s neither “open ended” nor particularly “thought provoking”, so I think downvotes are perfectly warranted.
ETA: the “you know, where dissenters get downvoted” also seems pretty bait-y because it presumes that downvotes indicate dissent rather than indicating a lack of value to the community/discussion.
I’ve been using Cura as a slicer for my Anycubic Kobra since I got it a few months ago. After a few weeks I discovered octoprint which was amazing as it let me start and monitor print jobs whilst out and about....
I don’t have specific advice, but I am genuinely curious about what your circumstance is that you:
are yourself away from the printer so often,
have ready access to the STLs you need,
have access to a machine with slicing software,
and cannot start the print when you return
Legit question, because knowing the situation might prompt better feedback. Or if this is a case of “it would be cool to do so, just because I can…” then carry on and ignore my post lol!
Gotcha! I’m curious to hear what others have to say, because a web-based slicer does sound like a neat idea. I could see it being challenging due to the processing power required to slice more complex jobs. And also if you’re anything like me, you often slice a job a half dozen times or more while tweaking settings to get it just right, while flying around the model and checking tricky areas closely. If you’re self-hosting, maybe the processing power is not an issue, but it would require a decently advanced interface to ensure you don’t come home to a pile of spaghetti because you weren’t able to check the slicing job adequately.
The best I can come up with is to remote in to your main slicing machine and do the work that way, but I’m hoping I can learn something from this thread!
I use textured PEI, and this is pretty much my regimen for PETG as well. So far, a thorough 90% IPA wipe with a lint-free towel or microfiber right before each print is all I have ever needed to get good adhesion.

Same here. I had like a single-digit comment count on Reddit because it seemed like anything I had to say was either chucked straight into the garbage bin of buried threads that never took off, or lost in a sea of thousands of similar comments. I’ve posted more here in a few weeks than 10+ years on Reddit. It feels like there is at least ROOM for conversations here instead of just bickering or meme comment chains.
Guys, hear me out… maybe rich companies aren’t evil because of some top-down direction to be evil, but because the system through which they become large and rich encourages them to be evil. In that light, Wal-Mart has two choices: either they can be large, successful, and evil; or smaller, less successful, and not as evil. Surely I’m not the only one intelligent and worldly enough to realize that these companies have no choice but to keep wages low and muscle out local competition if they want to dominate international retail.
“lol” is punctuation. A carryover from a time before we had a thousand different emoji to pick from, and also when casual IM communication was not yet so ingrained our culture that conveying subtle tone came naturally. Lol
