I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to get through this, but thanks for the link, this is really interesting.

Given the history of outside influences on Haiti, I'm not sure how much of this story I buy.

Could be "violent gangs" torching "civil society" for "their own benefit".

Could be "revolutionaries" torching "an oppressive oligarchy" for "the benefit of working people".

Both of them would be reported the same way in US, or European newspapers.

I'm just skeptical when I see "violent gangs" taking over public infrastructure and when one of the "first casualties" of a "bloody uprising" is the Prime Minister who is not in fact dead, just forced to resign and flee the country.

They're manual changes. Annoying, but they work for basic stuff.

Let's say that the ship is actually sinking, for arguments sake.

There's a whole bevy of rats swelling out of those fetid waters, the smart ones jumped ship some time ago, given that there are only two viable options in the United States, where do you suppose that they will go?

How will that affect composition and policy of those that remain as The SS Trump slips below the murky waters?

Gotta be able to boot Nazis. Otherwise it'll be Nazi bar.

I'm excited to introduce you to this if you haven't seen it!

I use this as a general guide for every time I buy a new material, manufacturer, and/or color of filament. There's YouTube videos explaining everything every step of the way.

For a new printer (or significant modifications) I'd go through the whole thing. For new filament, if I haven't used it before, I do flow calibration, temperature tuning, retraction tuning, pressure/linear advance tuning, and max flow tuning, not necessarily in that order. I've found that as I've learned and experimented more I've branched out into more esoteric tools for some things.

My filament printer is a fairly heavily modified ender 3 pro (spider hotend, direct drive, dual z axis, spring steel bed, solid bed spacers, herome gen 7 cooler, cr touch, stepper driver diodes, and an adxl345 waiting for me to mount and wire it... I think that's it). So I'm not saying this as a Creality hater, I love my ender, I hate their software and firmware. I had a terrible time with their Marlin firmware and ended up building it myself. I've since switched to klipper though and highly recommend it, it got me a reasonable quality benchy in around 30 minutes.

My point there is that I have had a hard time with the default profiles across the board, even before the mods. For filament printing I use Prusaslicer, though I do like Superslicer and Orcaslicer seems nice as well, I just have all my profiles built for Prusaslicer and it generally just works.

I'm only adding this because I don't already see someone mentioning it.

My first thought was bed leveling, because that's always the first thing, especially with weird surface artifacts.

But looking at the bridging "above" the text and the gaps in the interface between the solid infill and your perimeters I suspect that you've got some under-extrusion going on.

Have you tuned your filament? If not I recommend giving that a shot and seeing if it doesn't clear up those issues.

ETA: I've also found that with text printed on the base I have way better luck when I cut it about 1mm deep (for 0.2mm layer heights)

We no longer have humor, it's been beaten out of us by code reviews and merge conflicts.

DATA ABORT

GE PFVQ97HSPV0DS - the combo one. There's six of us, 2 adults 4 kids. You basically just can't do a "laundry day." We're newly on a septic system too, so we shouldn't be doing that anyway from what I understand.

We are basically doing at least a load of laundry a day. We've had it since November, if you pack it more than halfway full we've found that running it on a timed dry cycle works better than sensor dry.

My wife hates the sensor dry cycle regardless because when stuff comes out it feels "hot and damp" but by the time it hits room temperature it just feels clean and dry to me.

You have to clean the lint trap every cycle (I didn't know people didn't do that anyway) and there's a black filter that has to be washed out every 30 or so cycles, which is a few minutes, it's not like you have to dry it out again.

Honestly, I'll probably line dry blankets and stuff when it warms up a bit, but I did that with our old resistive one too.

Either way, this thing works just as well as any other washer and dryer I've used, you just have to make sure to keep the filters and seals clean so it drains and dries properly.

It works fine for us, a larger than average American family. It takes basically the same time s load would to go through both a wash and a dry cycle.

This is why I bought a heat pump clothes dryer. Such a great set of videos.

If I were to try to explain it to my 9 year old in the shortest way possible:

"It's the exact same thing as an air conditioner but you play an uno reverse card on it."

The "normal" government machine is broken. Attempting to rely on long established norms as guardrails is not something that will turn out well. "The tables could be turned" is not an argument that applies to the current state of US politics.

The Republican party literally told the Obama white house that they wouldn't even hold a hearing for his supreme Court nominee (Garland March of 2016) "because the American people needed to weigh in since it was an election year." Which many people properly identified as complete and utter bullshit.

Then Republicans went from a nomination on September 29th, 2020, to a confirmation on October 26th, 2020, of Amy Coney Barret, who I'm sure is eminently qualified for the position.

Less than a month.

The Supreme Court is effectively meaningless as an institution attempting to maintain a facade of impartiality.

The "system" as it once existed is gone now. Republicans have been waging a war on public institutions for decades and they've won. It's over.

Attempting to continue to play by the old rules doesn't do anything but multiply the effectiveness of the grift.

Is Missouri the new Florida?

This is a sad story, but as a former Missourian it's not super surprising.

There's anger and distrust that's festering there. A societal anger, not a personal one. It's a personification and personalization of national politics.

I can't describe the relief it is to not live in that environment anymore.

I am incredibly lucky.

What if I took statics but swapped thermo for emag theory? I feel like that's pretty even.

I just "finished" a herome parts cooler upgrade on the E3 pro. And holy shit has it made a difference.

I'm in the process of printing random gardening stuff while I put off setting my Saturn back up. I am like a year behind on printing Loot Studios stuff. I wanna paint some minis so bad.

Pee doesn't "bloop"

Moving closer to Canada was not unintentional for me. We got our whole family passports after Biden won, I knew it was only a reprieve. All that said, we can't afford to move again, if it happens we'll be fleeing as refugees.
