  • Did you buy the Pixel 7a second hand or something, or through a carrier? The whole point of the Pixel phones is they're stock Android with zero unnecessary apps pre installed. Your shitty Samsung also has Android, but Samsung puts their own slow, bloated as hell interface over it. Not to mention all of the bloatware pre installed. Stop lying lmao.

  • "People of color" wasn't a term used in the Jim Crow South. They called them "colored people" to dehumanize them. The term "colored people" has a lot of hateful baggage, while the term "people of color" is them reclaiming the term, on their own terms.

  • I've been calling black people black people for 30+ years. They never liked the term "African-American" much either, in my experience. That term was made up by white people that overcorrected their racism. I have never had a single black person get offended or upset, because why should someone be offended by their own skin? I interchange "brown people" but that's more of a catch-all term for everyone that's not a shade of printer paper like myself.

  • That would be awesome! I've got an Ender 6 with a Micro Swiss NG extruder. I was printing decently with the stock hardware, but that stock extruder was a nightmare and kept slipping or completely losing grip on filament mid-print, so I upgraded to this extruder. Now I'm just trying to find that perfect spot to where it extrudes but doesn't grind filament. I've been having some really messy prints.

    I just had a feeler gauge arrive in the mail, so I'm about to use that to try leveling the bed more accurately. Everyone says to just use a piece of paper or something, but different paper is different widths haha.

    I do have a PEI bed, so stuff sticks and comes off way easier now, but I would love to check out your slicer settings to get a good baseline! What kind of hardware do you have, and which slicer do you use?

  • I think most 3D printers are food safe technically, as they get really hot, which should kill the bad stuff. I haven't looked into the chocolate printers, but I've got to imagine it works pretty similarly to a standard 3D printer: nozzle gets very hot and you just insert "filament" rolls or cartridges made of chocolate instead of plastic. A meat printer would need to do a lot more, if you're talking just completely making meat from scratch. Would be awesome, but I think we've still got a ways to go before those are consumer friendly.

  • Personally, if there's even a 1% chance of something killing a kitten, I don't do that thing.

    Definitely talk to your very first, if you absolutely want to give them a bath, but they clean themselves with their tongues, so absolutely not necessary whatsoever.

  • Nope, warm water. Sure, they can come out fine. One of the two lived a very long life afterwards. Personally, if there's even a 1% chance of something killing a kitten, I don't do that thing.

  • Oh yeah haha, if only they didn't spout off the most vile homophobic and transphobic shit in public. I've exposed a few folks because they went on hateful rants on Facebook back in the day. Not very ethical on my behalf, but when dealing with bigots, nothing is off limits.

  • Haha your second paragraph sums it up perfectly. A few folks did share their settings, but they were for completely different printers/hardware haha. Most of the online guides I've found are written under the assumption that you're already a master at the hobby, and it's strangely spread out in random little nooks of the internet - there's not really a ton of centralized discussion forums. Maybe the hobby is way smaller than I thought, or maybe I'm just in way over my head, but I fix tech problems for a living - did not expect this to be as much of a challenge. Never buy a 3D printer if you value your sanity and living stress-free. Sorry, I just needed to rant for a minute haha.

  • Currently my experience with 3D printing. It's one thing after another, and the community, at least on Reddit and Facebook, fucking sucks. If I ask a question, it's always "hey how about you go fuck yourself" or an essay that has zero relevance to what I'm asking. Made a post on Reddit the other day (I know, but have a single burner account until the 3D printing community here takes off more) and just asked to see some settings due to just constantly having issue after issue. Half of the responses were people just telling me they're not fucking wizards and they need to know what kind of problems I'm having. I... didn't ask for that whatsoever. I very explicitly just asked for someone's slicer settings to compare to.
