less resistant

You mean “less vulnerable” here?

I don’t think we can move most people out of PLA. It’s cheap and available everywhere. But I do agree it’s worth pointing that some plastics do not have this problem.

The humidity here varies between 3% and 100%.

Things change from PLA being regenerated by being left open to it not lasting for two weeks before it needs drying.

Unless you live somewhere where it’s always close to that low in my interval, I do strongly recommend a drybox to anybody wondering if they need one. At 60% humidity, PLA already visibly degrades way faster than you will use in a hobby.

Also, in my experience, filament driers only help with close to dry filaments. The temperature you would need to really dry them is larger than the glass point of most plastics. Microwaves work better (I guess because they heat the water in an uneven way) but it’s still hard to regenerate very moist filaments.

Filling a house with scented smoke was also probably a quite successful way to push the plague out of it.

Those masks aren’t medieval

Almost none of the medieval stuff in popular culture were.

It wasn’t, though. The planets were basically defined as “it’s those 9 there”.

People only started to push for a property-based definition when we started finding exoplanets. And only really moved into it when a 11th candidate was found and there were some 3 or 4 more possible ones.

By any reasonable measure, the “Wester Civilization” started on either Iran or Iraq.

Culturally, anything west from India has to be “Western”.

IMO, the easiest way to make your system not swap into some disk you don’t want it to is to not enable any swap partition on that disk.

If it’s using that much RAM for cache, it will survive not having a swap with a minimum impact on performance.

Well, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to betray the Soviets or face the French right on…

Well, it’s a very stereotypically British thing.

IMO, if you are printing PLA, it’s not worth it.

The usefulness increases with the temperature. It dramatically reduced my printer’s consumption when the bed is 95°C, and allowed it to heat up to 115°C (I didn’t try anything further).

I have an adhesive insulator from Aliexpress. It has lasted for a few months without any visible wear, but I can’t say much about its longevity. But given the price, I would be kinda ok with it lasting only a couple of years.

You can cross a desert, you only need to carry water and food.

Just try walking 100m into a forest.

Russian civilians in 1812 after interacting with either of those…

You won’t believe what happens next!

1980s…

You meant the military dictatorship or Sarney’s almost dictatorship?

Yes, it’s a bit surprising that they were doing some targeted ethnic cleansing on the middle of all that random killing. But then I’m not sure which instance of it you are talking about.

Cue for the French military command nervous because a single missile costs more than all the fishing revenue in a decade; while the Brazilian military command is nervous because “WTF, president, are we really getting into war with France?!”; while the French population is nervous protesting their government using the military to cause an ecologic disaster; while the Brazilian population is nervous making some samba about how crabs are fish when the tide is rising only.

Ah, no, that in my comment is not a definition. You are misreading it.

No. You wouldn’t first have to conquer all other states.

What make a state exist in your society is the existence of violence, not the existence of other states.

Oh, I though I saw news about him dying, but I probably mixed it up.

It’s really amazing how the anteater starts going into defense mode, and he reacts like he has no idea what was about to happen.

Did this guy really survive until recently?

Not entirely sure what “cold pull” means.

You unscrew your extruder, heat the hotend up until you can barely push the plastic across (~170ºC for PLA, ~180°C for ABS), push a bit of it and then pull it out.

Cut the end of the filament and do it again, a few times.

Oh, man. If those are the normal-ish guys that start it, I don’t want to know how the dumb crazy drug-addicted genociders look like.

The circus part was added thousands of years later.

Well, that’s not what they did differently.

I imagine the quicker he inspects, separates and freezes the semen, the best results he will get with using it to fertilize camels later.

He’s coordinating artillery and cavalry…

Plenty of people tried exactly the same afterwards… with exact the same results… including the surprised pikachu face.

Château is the French word for castle.
