  • LIES! There is no such thing as a bad boi.

  • Compromise? Ai art must be tagged so.

    There’s a lot of creative ai art out there, is it as impressive as say, a painting? No. But is it still art? Sure. What is “art” anyhow?

  • Looks a bit more like salt+vinegar (in water to control the speed)

  • I feel like that dog’s theme song is a rickroll on repeat

  • Kaspersky. Back when the russians started getting weird with things, and kaspersky... got dubious... I canceled my subscription and switched to a different AV. when it was about to expire, they sent a 'we'll automatically renew'. So I tried to log in- my credentials were invalid- I use a PW manager, so no. It wasn't a bad password-
    the password reset option wouldn't work (literally wouldn't send the validation link.)
    Called their CS who told me that subscriptions were handled by a 3rd party in the US- Digital River.
    Digital river said I should cancel it on their website.
    got DR and Kaspersky's CS on the same phone call. they finally complied and canceled the subscription.
    A year later... "Your subsctiption will automatically renew!"

    called them again. sent a letter. thought that was that until I saw they billed me anyhow.
    tried to call them. they were giving me the run around.

    Called the bank. to report fraud.
    They were useless until I told them my next call would be FBI's financial crimes people. Suddenly, that charge back became super easy.

  • I like the whole "save water" bullshit. like in california. Or anywhere else being fed by lake mead. Like, "You need to take shorter showers! conserve water". the ten minute shower they're berating consumers for... is literally nothing compared to the water straight up wasted for California's agriculture. (and by wasted, I mean water lost before it even gets to the plants.)

    Most of Lake Mead and the Colorado River aren't used by people. it's used by corporations that don't give two shits because nobody gives a damn about them wasting water- can't harm the jobs, now.

  • Truth.

    Jump
  • truck nutz. like. not new (which might be a gag. I did zip tie some onto a friends car once. But, uh, it was a prius, and they were dragging on the gorund.)

  • It’s not a “reputable” thing … it’s a process thing. Scales don’t get zeroed every time a fresh spool is loaded. Doing so adds complexity.

    It’s pretty common for consumer goods to include the mass of packaging when the product is sold by mass across most industries.

  • the spool is frequently included in the weight of the roll, so you're getting 1kg either way. you get more plastic for printing, though.

  • Are you printing gaskets in tpu or just laying filament and compressing that?

    I usually go to a trick I picked up someplace off the Internet using silicone caulk squeezed into an appropriate diameter of fish tank airline tubing. (Or for much larger seals, flexible pc liquid cooling tubes.)

    The trick is using an air compressor to blow it out of the tubing. (You can also make hollow seals by blowing the tube before the silicone is set.) then, just glue the ends with a dab of leftover caulk.
