For a quick and dirty clean room run the shower really hot for a few minutes to make a bunch of steam and then wait for the humidity to naturally equalize, boom you got a few minutes to do your swap job.
I’ve never heard of this… what’s the idea behind it? That you get the RH near 100%, and any dust particles will be a nucleation point for water to condense on, causing them to literally rain out of the air?

- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 2 months ago:
Or do you actually not do this and live in a disgusting, filthy, dirt-covered house all the time?
Sadly, in my limited experience with people who wear their shoes inside by default, it has been this one.
- Comment on What's the best type of food to eat in an active shower? 4 months ago:
Something hot in an open bowl sounds like the worst food to eat in a shower TBH.
I’d go with something cold in a tune, like an ice pop. Or maybe a beer in one of those fancy insulated tumblers with a closeable lid.

100%
The good news is that it looks pretty uniform front to back, so the bed is actually probably close to level despite z offset being too high.
I’m actually kind of impressed with how well the lines are sticking despite how little contact area there is!
- Comment on Issue with Klipper on Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus 6 months ago:
Can you provide any more details on what is not working and what might have changed since things stopped working? There is not a lot of info to go on.
I’ve been running Klipper on a Raspberry pi with an Ender 3 S1 Pro for about 8 months with virtually zero hiccups, but I’d hardly claim to be an expert.

I second callcc’s suggestions. I don’t think it’s a slicer or hardware issue, just optimizing your print parameters for the filament.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 to get the final seal of approval early next year, new standard is up to 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6 6 months ago:
You have a point about how silly it is to scrimp on ethernet ports in new construction/remodels–wifi with a wired backhaul is unquestionably preferable to pure mesh.
But to say “wifi has nothing other than mobility” is purely asinine. It’s like saying that planes offer nothing over cars except the ability to travel faster–yeah… that’s kinda the point! Compared to the number of networked devices in the average home, there are very few current or near-future devices that could leverage even a gigabit connection fully, let alone justify a dedicated wired connection.
Streaming video needs a few 10s of Mbits tops, security cams are similar, streaming audio needs a fraction of that, your smart home devices & hubs are negligible, mobile phones and tablets downloading 100MB apps barely even blink at current wifi speeds. Even the average WFH-er is going to saturate their company’s VPN before their wifi connection struggle.
Is an ethernet connection technically better in some of those cases? Sure, but the vast majority of people would notice no functional difference aside from having to plug in a second cable.
- Comment on Weird vase mode bulging 6 months ago:
It looks like it’s happening at about the area of steepest overhang. Is it possible the bead of filament is not grabbing onto the previous layer and dragging/sagging?
Maybe try slowing down the print speed a bit and/or increasing fan speed.
- Comment on Reactionaries and inconsistency are a match made in heaven 6 months ago:
It is kind of strange how much more of a visceral reaction people have to the idea of poor people cheating the system, compared to rich people cheating the system. Logically, it seems like the latter should get people a lot more riled up, which I guess speaks to the power of their propaganda.

Isn’t that just kind of… how names are supposed to work?
- Comment on what is the correct way to use the word "backorder" in English? 6 months ago:
“Backordered” or “On backorder” are the normal usages as an adjective.
But “In backorder” would also be perfectly understandable.

I mean, I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t give it a try, assuming it replaced 8 hours of awake work.

Skyrim, by a longshot. That theme never failed to get me cranked get my Nordic adventuring on.
- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 6 months ago:
I dunno, being able to get my 8 hours of work in AND get a full nights’ sleep at the same time, leaving 16 hours for leisure sounds awesome to me!
At least that’s how I’m choosing to believe this will play out, for the sake of my sanity.
- Comment on YSK that if your turn signal is blinking unusually fast (like 3 or more times a second), it generally means you have a bulb out. 6 months ago:
The best option would be for ongoing training for driving. Agreed 100% there!
The problem (and probably why you’re getting downvoted) is that physically using your 2-ton vehicle travelling at freeway speeds to coerce someone into doing something is not really communicating. It’s not a method prescribed by any kind of authority or training, and is actively discouraged by most! Sure it may get the result YOU want in the moment, but communication requires understanding.
Personally, if someone were to overtake me and then slow down intentionally, I’d take that as them being an inattentive driver at best, and a passive-aggressive jerk at worst.

Honestly the best solution, as with most traffic annoyances, is just to quietly curse at them as you go about your day and let the police deal with enforcing the laws.
When trying to teach someone a lesson, you might get the occasional person who was absent-mindedly being annoying, but most people are just going to come away from the interaction thinking YOU are the asshole. Not to mention the person who is being an asshole on purpose looking for confrontation…

- Comment on Using voice analysis, AI diagnoses type 2 diabetes in 89% of women, 86% of men 7 months ago:
When this was posted a few weeks ago, it was also pointed out that your socioeconomic status and geographical location can probably also be predicted pretty well by voice, which also correlate with T2D risk factors.
It is a neat finding and all, but unless there is some underlying physiological tie between T2D and your voice that’s not explainable otherwise, it’s kind of the diagnostic equivalent of “psychic” cold reading.
- Comment on LinkedIn Issues Warning to Site Shaming Pro-Palestinian Sentiment. 8 months ago:
Is anyone scraping LinkedIn’s data to compile and shame pro-Israeli / anti-Palestinian sentiments and thereby creating a need to censor “both sides”?
It’s an honest question because I don’t know. But being pro-Israel is certainly the default majority/establishment stance right now, with pro-Palestine a vocal minority (at least in the West), so directly comparing them ignores the relevant nuances.

Refer to my second point then.
- Comment on Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts? 8 months ago:
Fully agreed that Hot/rising is garbage right now. It seems to weight very recent posts with zero comments or upvotes equally with older posts that have robust discussion, so >80% of the content is the same as sorting by New.

This looks like what you’d get if you asked an AI to produce a picture of Janeway after feeding it a training set consisting entirely of Ben Garrison’s Trump cartoons.
