Lawngeray definitely makes it less appealing.

Agreed, I was visiting earlier in August and it was such a pleasant experience walking around the city in general but especially the pedestrian only roads. The ones they have implemented in Vancouver aren't nearly as lively and nice. Especially with our new mayor and council essentially just paying lip service to the concept this summer.

I've also been caught out by this in other places. I was in Hong Kong and went up to The Peak, which has a 3km path around the top. I thought one water bottle was enough for a flat walk in 35C humid summer heat. It wasn't and ended up rationing water halfway through and chugging two whole bottles of water when I got back to where I could get water again.

Yes, we have a small sandblaster at work for cleaning up SLS Nylon prints.

How to stay safe in the wilderness. We get too many people that aren't from around here that think you can do a hike late in the afternoon wearing sandals and only bringing a water bottle. People don't realize that the wilderness is a dangerous place if you aren't prepared. Weather can change rapidly and you need proper clothing and footwear to account for it. Make sure you have enough time for the hike and bring the essentials just in case something happens and you need to spend a night outdoors.

It's like a fever dream of different themed rooms done up by various artists around a general theme as an immersive art experience.

As someone who is well above the limit of getting any help these payouts pisses me off. The people that get them only have a temporary reprieve from their expenses and the money goes right into the pockets of the people profiting from the current high costs. Where if they actually fixed the problem everyone that is dealing with unaffordability would benefit long term while the people profiting off it would pay the cost.

The interesting thing for me from the tests was showing that anything above 1kHz is just passive noise cancellation. I have acoustics notes from university that are over a decade old that have 1kHz listed as the limit of active noise cancellation and it apparently hasn't been improved in all that time.

A 600 sq.ft condo is about $850k. On the standalone house side an older 2000 sq.ft house goes for over $2 Million.

Fuck major ISPs support smaller ISPs if you have one available. I literally emailed my ISP about a deal they have going on and it took 2 emails to reduce my monthly cost by $5 for higher speed. My previous ISP actually reduced my bill without me doing anything after their costs went down.

The US divide is really less Blue vs. Red states and more rural vs urban areas.

I wish the 3D printing community would at least start uploading STEP files with their STL so people can edit without much trouble. So annoying to get something that has a license that allows editing but you are stuck with the garbage low resolution model that someone has exported that can't be edited directly.

Especially now that Prusa Slicer takes in STEP models I don't see a reason to use STL.

Agreed, I was on vacation earlier this month for a couple weeks since it was the only time that made sense with my work schedule. It was just brutally expensive to stay anywhere because things were booked up.

I didn't specifically give up reddit completely, but I have drastically reduced my time on the site, especially since I only ever go onto it when I'm sitting at my desktop and I go to Lemmy first.

It sucks that a lot of communities aren't large enough to sustain content and have remained on Reddit. Even the larger communities tend to get stuck on the same few posts for multiple days without new things pushing them down the list (e.g. the recent LTT drama just would not leave my feed for far too long). For sorting Active is far too sticky, even Hot doesn't clear out posts fast enough.

I find that while I get votes on my comments, the amount of replies and such have definitely reduced, indicating there is less engagement going on within the comments on Lemmy to me than when everyone was moving over.

For reference, in working with parts that interface directly with optical components about the tightest I'm ever comfortable specifying at production volumes is 0.05mm and that is for very specific dimensions and not entire parts yet he is demanding 5 times lower tolerances here.

Yup, you can put a red dot in your mailbox as an indicator that you don't want any unaddressed mail. You will still get anything with your address on it and political party mail (they have to deliver those) but it cuts out the best majority of crap.

You just have to go for it and figure it out. I just used it for planning a vacation and found it quite useful and nicer than other options I have used before.

Asianometry has an interesting video on the rise and fall of Daewoo that is definitely an interesting example on how not to run a business.

Just an English transliteration of part of their Chinese name "hǎi kāng wēi shì"

Nothing wrong with a MK3 at all. The changes made since then are more nice to haves rather than big leaps forward. The printer will give you reliable high quality prints even if it is a bit slower than MK4 and has a tiny bit more setup for getting the nozzle distance correct.

I had an order in for the upgrade kit for my MK3S and quickly came to my senses that the benefits are minimal.
