- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 6 hours ago:
Acronyms vs Initialisms
No one is going to try pronounce Fbi, it’s awkward.
There are terms that bridge the Acronym/Initialism divide. SQL-Sequel, URL-Earl and GUI-Gooey are some that come up fairly regularly in my line of work.
The bottom line is; Language is used to communicate concepts. We are lazy and do it as efficiently as we can get away with. The rules have changed a LOT to get us where we are today. It would be blind hubris to think the change will stop just because we don’t like it.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 2 weeks ago:
No to self defence. You learning self defence will only provoke a stronger response from the guys who will go up to and beyond killing you, and may call in actual military support if required.
Civil disobedience feels like a better approach. Forming human walls, information networks and rapid support responses slow and mitigate attacks on your community.
Applying pressure to your representatives also can help.

Of course, not all the companies survive and now there’s decreased competition, so we can shove prices up a little bit further

- Comment on Any idea what might be going on with this print? 1 month ago:
The fact it happened at the same z location twice is telling.
Try a slim vase-mode print that reaches past that height and see if it happens again.
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 1 month ago:
All true, but sometimes a clog turns into a Clog and it’s time to just drop in a replacement while you try and fix the clogged one.
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 1 month ago:
Addendum: If nozzles are cheap, you could pick some up. They are consumable parts.
And you could grab a tighter nozzle too, for better details in your prints. (Though the print time goes up dramatically!)
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 1 month ago:
Those are fine picks.
Grab some big ziplock bags and a pack of desiccant sachets to keep the filaments dry while in storage.

- Comment on One Punch Man S3 Director Shinpei Nagai deletes his twitter account due to the pressure, calls out people who took his tweets out of context/exploited the staff's struggles for "rage-baiting" 2 months ago:
I haven’t watched any S3 yet, (I definitely will) but reports seem like a big step down in animation quality.
I don’t know who is to blame. It might be the director, but maybe they did the best with what they were given. Maybe the producers didn’t spend enough time or money on the project. Maybe they couldn’t get the raw talent they needed. And, of course, maybe the director fucked it.
I don’t think we will ever know. That might be intentional.

I’d personally be looking towards Prusa, in that case.
- Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad. 4 months ago:
Bambu p1s + ams.
My maker space got one because we were sick of farting around with half working printers, it’s been a workhorse for like 2 years now.
Then I bought one 6 months ago and I can count on one hand the number of failed prints.
