The wording around "preserving their fertility" just feels creepy on top of the transphobia to me.

Are they going the extra mile to prevent children from being exposed to reproductive toxins because she feels so strongly about it? Make sure no child can be exposed to heavy metals or industrial solvents for example, that on the table?

Prusa's first layer calibration in the past would do a long line across the plate to give you time to adjust, I personally just use a piece of paper or feeler gauge (have a tap probe) to set my offset and then run with it. Auto levelling and meshing work extremely well in my experience, if you have something adjustable imo you're best doing that offline anyhow, the nozzle to surface distance is what matters, you don't need to push plastic to measure that, in fact I wouldn't even attempt to do that until I was confident in my measured offsets, tool crashes suck and super close scraped on plastic sucks to remove from a surface.

Absolutely! Sorry my bad, first thing I did for my prusa enclosure was create recirc filter and did the same thing with my voron so my brain just assumed it was standard practice

In an alternate universe, one can imagine there's a Tory leader who's spoken of the same way and has made them unpalatable.

Harper's mine but that's when I actually could vote so I'm biased. Maybe Diefenbaker? Know some people who romanticise the avro arrow who dislike him for canning it and blame it for brain drain.

Assuming heat creep. Pla's transition temp is like, in the low 50s +/- a few deg c if I recall, it goes wet noodle and can easily cause jams, absolute pain in my ass doing a bunch of pla prints in the summer on my mk3s inside a prusa enclosure, ended up setting the plate to something like 30c, had issues even with the 140mm exhaust fan on to try dropping the chamber temp. I rarely print pla in my voron, it's basically hot bed set very low and relying on my print surface to keep the print anchored when I do. Not had issues with petg in an enclosure, personally would recommend using an enclosure for all prints anyhow, even pla gives off some nasties as far as I recall.

I personally prefer abs to either petg or pla for general use, I keep all on hand as there's not a filament best for all use cases.

Edit: Assuming you have an enclosure filter. I highly recommend something like the nevermore (use a stealthmax on my voron). I do also keep my printers outside of my home, which I know not everyone can do. If I had them inside, I'd set up something to vent the room outside as well as having enclosure filters, some filaments are worse than others, Nevermore includes citations to a bunch of relevant studies regarding air pollution while printing

Go with something like FiiO's excellent line of Bluetooth/USB-C DACs,

btr7, btr5, btr3k. They support high fidelity Bluetooth codecs, but the USB-c option is really nice, I've had a btr3k for years and it's an easy recommend. FiiO in general do really nice audio products for the price in my experience.

I'd still like to have a 3.5mm jack on my phone though and a decent internal DAC, give me an option, use something external to drive higher impedance stuff if I want.

Huh, it's interesting that all but Ontario are predominantly Hydro on that list Ontario's Nuclear 1st, then Hydro.

Source if anyone's interested, can go into specific provinces.

My highschool blasted Christmas in Ignace - Arrogant Worms every single day during fundraising drives, they'd stop when they hit their goals. Was very effective.

Yeah, Canada did the same thing last time.

At least we have CETA this time, even if it's only provisional ATM.

Like the idea, be great if you had something like miniDSP ears to test with. Would denser infill help the sound? Pads are massive in terms of sound, I put the wrong pads on my dt880s in the past and they sounded like straight garbage, be worth trying to replicate the same sort of density/sealing of your existing pads.

Trudeau and Freeland handled the last term better than anyone around here expected.

Definitely helped having a PM with experience working with children.

I had a Microsoft Encarta on a cd that I used for projects when I was young, Wikipedia launched midway through my grade 5 and by grade 6 I was using it for research (despite the "you can't trust Wikipedia, anyone can edit it!" that was still a thing into grade 12 from my teachers) for any school project. My parents also had a copy of the Oxford's Canadian English dictionary that was an absolute time, used that a heck of a lot too.

I use Wikipedia as a jumping off point, good to get information, get the details from citations. I wasn't old enough to do complex work pretty wikipedia, but I'd imagine it'd be the same thing, encyclopaedia to lookup a topic, dive into reference materials for details from there.

I'll throw my hat in for Harvey's, easily one of the better veggie burgers and you get to choose toppings.

Like the guy who owns the flames N Murray Edwards who were trying to get the city to buy them a new stadium that they've finally got funded. I recall allegations that they were trying to use it to influence the municipal election/make it an election issue.

Not saying government shouldn't pay for infrastructure, but the public paid for a large portion of the development, they're not giving back shit unless it personally benefits them, financially, influence or just public image. That level of wealth is unfathomable and you do not get to that level without exploitation, there is absolutely no such thing as an ethical billionaire, that includes people benefiting from generational wealth.

You know what would be beneficial? If the wealth they're hoarding went back into the system. Imagine if those billions just sitting there doing nothing but generating dividends actually were invested into making the world a better place. At the very least, money in the hands of the people who's labour went into generating their (virtual) wealth.

General recommendation for spool3d, they may be on otherside of the country but they have a solid selection, fast fulfillment, and some really nice house brand filament, more or less buy everything parts wise from them and 3D Lab tech.

Edit: Matter3D have some great black friday sales on right now too, filament manufacturer in BC, really like their filament, particularly their abs, free shipping >$80 CAD in Canada as well.

So you're saying solar freakin benches is the answer???!!!‽

Might find this interesting, uses abs, there's an example at the end of using one of the fdm printed lenses with lasers

I've tried with petg, was just for looks (transparent cases) rather than optical use, wasn't super satisfied with it. Might try abs, it takes to acetone smoothing really nicely

Everything I've seen says do it in 30s bursts and stir, apparently does a good job of melting it with breaking

The collage with artist information was really cool with the Zune media player, I'm Canadian so we didn't get the Zune pass for a while, that during the iPod era was ahead of its time as a streaming service.

The hard disk in my Zune died years ago and its totally been lost in moves unfortunately, would love to have flash modded it like people do with their old iPods, having a dedicated media device would be great. I've seen refurbed zune HDs on eBay, temptation is there, just need to find out if there's any way to sync with the Zune media player, had a Foobar2k plugin years ago that did iPod syncing, something like that.

I legitimately miss my lumia 1020, I really liked the way that applications "flowed" as well, entire ui was really intuitive, maybe partly because I had a zune with the touch pad for years before getting a wp7, zune was another solid but memed on device.
