Geez, you’ve eaten so many chemicals, that’s all you are made up of now
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 week ago:
Your best hope for storage is it not getting much wetter, ziploc bags with silica are fine, a tub is easier to paw through and grab what you need quickly.
A drier will actually refresh a roll and get it printing close to new again. Look for excess stringing for the early signs, and the filament bubbling and/or popping as it comes out of the nozzle for extreme signs of wetness.
I’m in a fairly dry environment, I’ll happily leave a roll on the printer for a week without adverse effects. But always store an opened roll off the printer in the tub. 3d printer filament storage
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 week ago:
Store filament in a big plastic tub with a kg of colour change silica. But yes a filament dryer is a good investment too. Just a single roll one will do.

- Comment on Can mental health medication change nature of dreams? 4 weeks ago:
I pretty much stopped remembering my dreams after some serious surgery when I was younger. I put it down to the 12+ hours of anesthetic. I occasionally remember that I had dreamt when I wake up in a weird mood. But no idea what the dream was about.
- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 4 weeks ago:
Keeping people in unproductive jobs isn’t an excuse to keep a drain on the the system and bloating costs of health care.
What do they do in other countries that don’t have those roles? They find jobs elsewhere or train in something else. Of course you wouldn’t be able to reform healthcare overnight, it would take a decade or a generation.
- Comment on Did they stop throwing dildos at the WNBA? 4 weeks ago:
Not the Western New Brunswick Archery championships?
- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 4 weeks ago:
Think about all the people involved in health care that aren’t involved in actually providing healthcare. Billing, debt collection, assessing insurance claims, denying claims, legal fighting over denied claims, advertising etc.
All that money is better spent providing healthcare.
- Comment on Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines? 5 weeks ago:
Wood chippers exist and are pretty much this
- Comment on Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"? 5 weeks ago:
You need a speaker held high above your head to sound taller
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 5 weeks ago:
There are also stable companies with a solid revenue stream that don’t have much growth potential, so pay out the profits as dividends. These are more in demand for retirement funds or individuals who get to point in life they need to start living from their investments. Yield is always a calculation of dividend + growth.
Tech companies that don’t pay a dividend and reinvest everything into growth is a relatively new concept
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 5 weeks ago:
It gets stored elsewhere if you continue to consume more than you use, like the fat cells deeper in your abdomen where it’s much more dangerous to the health of your organs
- Comment on "Valve must stop making excuses": Steam under fire for "significant price disparity for PC games," causing regional pricing that's "often 20% to 30% higher than the dollar equivalent" 5 weeks ago:
But it’s the opposite in NZ and Aus, we pay more when converted back to USD while the spending power is much less.

Yeah we would, stay away
- Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 5 weeks ago:
They are 3 raccoons in a trench coat.
What even is this question?!
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
I have all my music on a nas with plex so I can stream it from there. Home assistant and Music assistant allow me to play it to any room in the house. Mobile data is expensive in NZ though so I have a terabyte of sd storage in my phone and in the car head unit with music from band camp, ripped cds, ripped vinyl, dj sets from YouTube and mix cloud.
- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 5 weeks ago:
It started with the Rode Go mics which for $200 you get 2 mics and a receiver with some crazy good noise rejection and gain control. 40 hr battery life and easy to work with. There’s now several copies from dji and the like that are even cheaper.
YouTubers didn’t mind the blocky look as it let them get great quantity sound in not ideal locations, without messing with traditional lapel mics(boxy clips, cables and tape). The closer you can get to the mic the more background noise you can deal with.
It then became a trend. Just as Rode have come out with a new version that’s 1/3rd the size
- Comment on Is it possible to 3D scan a motorcycle helmet and make smaller replicas? 1 month ago:
Some dulling spray will give you decent enough coverage for a laser scanner to pick up the shape. Helmets tend to have large featureless areas that make optical based scanners struggle and photogrammetry not feasible. A good engineering level scanner will be just fine.
- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 1 month ago:
Air resistance would slow it down so it’s falling at 11m/sec, or it would tear it apart
- Comment on If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest? 1 month ago:
Proving you are ultra mega hyper straight, is a pretty big indicator you’re quite gay.
- Comment on The Rapture could have happened, but nobody would know because everyone got left behind 1 month ago:
I love it “oh I’m sorry you didn’t get picked, was it because you were thinking about what the gays really do in the bedroom?”
- Comment on Question about wifi-speaker for laptop, or docking station setup. 1 month ago:
I’ve got a pair of Eris 4.5bt studio monitors next to my PC and they would do you very well in a small space. Incredible sound quality. With both wired and Bluetooth options, you can add a sub later if you feel you need it… Eris Media Reference Monitor Pairs – PreSonus www.presonus.com/…/eris-media-reference-pairs?pag…
- Comment on Question about wifi-speaker for laptop, or docking station setup. 1 month ago:
You’ll be just fine with any modern Bluetooth speakers, anything after Bluetooth 5 has high quality audio codecs. And 10+ meter range. Look for one with multi point audio so you can connect your laptop and phone at the same time.
