  • I think you get the benefit of the airflow pulling in air along its edge to push out with it.

    Like pushing a bunch of water with a broom removes not only the water in front of the broom but also more water due to surface tension and inertia

  • So we’re back to PXI PXE? Everything old is new again.

    Neat technical problem to solve though just for fun

  • If this happens to you such as whether or not you locked your door before a trip do something novel while doing it.

    Standing on one foot, or using your non-dominate hand (or at the end for something like brushing your teeth).

    Helps solidify that you’ve done it

  • It is fantastic. Just wonderful experience that you can only truly ever have once.

    I somewhat joke with my spouse that if I ever have temporary ambesia to have me play it so I can experience afresh again

  • I’ve bought it about 5 or 6 times now

  • It’s great. And if you ever get stuck just pull on another thread since many of them overlap.

    Feel free to ping me and I’ll do my best to give non spoiler hints if you ever feel truly stuck.

  • Outer Wilds. Every time it’s on sale I buy a copy as a gift for a friend of mine.

    It’s an absolutely impactful experience. One best played blind since the unlocks/progression is knowledge based.

    A masterpiece of mystery, story telling and exploration gameplay.

  • Audiobooks. Libby app for local library and countless audiobooks already covered by your library card.

    I’ve listened to/read so many books. Short ones that are 4 hours or so to entire series where each book is about 20 hours or so.

    Long drive? Audiobook. Yard work? Audiobook.

    I find myself looking forward to the mundane chores because it gives me an excuse to get back into whatever story/book I’m enjoying.

  • Not natively no. What you’re looking for is this

    Achieve true 3D printing with non planar slicing Note: Check the update below

    Conical Slicing: A different angle of 3D printing

    Not something easily done with slicers and there are hacks to do things like this but nothing that works out of the box and it’s a tough challenge with various nozzles, toolheads, material shrink properties

    Edit: More recent update that could be of interest

    Non-planar 3D printing in a modern slicer thanks to the community

  • I’ve had some luck with attaching silicone pie mat to prints that I wanted to have a grippy surface.

    Downside is it picks up any grime, dust, dirt easily. No biggie when you throw a silicone mat in the dishwasher, more of an issue when you can’t do the same with something 3d printed.

    Another consideration could be large furniture non slip pads. Something made for putting on the feet of a couch/sofa for example, cut to size?

  • What about good ole Big Top Beer at my local Raytown market

  • Not sure. Like any field I suspect there’s specialties including people who do research/modeling vs consuming that data and advising based on it.

  • Code and snippets to analyze data work well when you can send chunks of it to multiple servers (think analyzing the effect of weather patterns).

    Since a lot of that stuff is running on Linux (similar to cloud computing) it makes sense that people that write function/scripts/utilities would already be comfortable in that environment and use it as their daily driver.

  • Agree. Where’s the smoke?

  • Author of American Gods, Coraline, countless other gems and the co-writer of Good Omens with Pratchett.
