Of course there’s a difference, one is a place where the mentally unwell go to get what they need before moving on in life, while the other is being defunded by the former.

smoking weed is supposed to be an experience
I mean if you just started smoking yeah. When you’ve been smoking for 10+ years not every session needs to be life changing. I’ll roll up a nice joint or pack a solid bowl for fun times when I want the “experience” but for normal getting high purposes the pen stays by my side

Yup, I know your feel. The most recent example I can think of that has a good blend is the Halo series (at least on normal or hard). You can jump around to try to avoid getting shot, run to a different area, sometimes find different guns laying around to help certain situations. I had a good time replaying the original when it came to PC.

I noticed that Walmart has started using the cheap shitty ones again. Haven’t looked to see if they claim to be reusable but they’re hardly durable enough for the first go.

My guess would be that you could control things like playlist, shuffle, etc. Like a smartwatch interface but only for music.

I think the purpose of it would be to control the device the headphones are connected to, rather than be the source of the media

Fun fact: the word “factoid” means a false bit of information that is being passed as fact. It doesn’t mean “a small interesting tidbit of information”.
Though I suppose the official definition will be changed since the proper one is seemingly dead

If it makes you feel any better, I made the “without the hard R” joke to myself when I initially saw the sub name, haha

‘appers’ being ‘rappers’ without the hard r
Pretty sure it’s because it’s a subreddit, so it’s written as r/appers.
Garbage content regardless, though.

- Comment on The box that Doom comes in will play Doom 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know of any videos, but the concept seems to have gotten pretty popular in the last year or two. I’m in the 3D printing community, and there’s pretty frequently a “magic floating <whatever>” in the “popular” section.
I assume the most difficult part would be determining what size magnets to use to achieve the desired float height. The rest should (in theory) be relatively simple; the magnets’ natural characteristics do all the hard work.
- Comment on xkcd #3075: Anachronym Challenge 5 weeks ago:
I couldn’t tell ya 🤷🏾♂️ it’s entirely possible that the risk of the lenses splitting was exaggerated to justify their requirement of buying the more expensive lenses with the half frames.
Unrelated, but when I was buying my glasses, I’d fallen in love with these half frames, but disappointedly told the tech I’d have to pick a different pair when she told me about the increased expense. (It wasn’t that much more, relatively speaking, but I already couldn’t afford the glasses, and had explained earlier that I was trying to do things as cheaply as possible). When she saw how upset I was over not being able to get the frames I really liked over an ultimately negligible amount of money, she gave me the glass lenses for the plastic lense price.
- Comment on The box that Doom comes in will play Doom 5 weeks ago:
It is done entirely with magnets.
There’s a few ways it can be arranged, but typically, there will be a large, powerful magnet in the base, a small magnet at the bottom of the floating object that is attracted to the big magnet (to keep the object upright), and a series of other magnets around the object that are repelled by the big magnet (to make it float).
I’ve seen some that use a secondary “key” magnet on the base and object that is the opposite polarity of the base magnet, that forces the object to sit in a specific orientation. Otherwise, the object can just kind of freely spin/float, so long as the bottom magnet stays pointing down.
- Comment on xkcd #3075: Anachronym Challenge 5 weeks ago:
you can get actual glass glasses, but typically only for unusual prescriptions.
It might vary by vendor, but you can definitely get real glass glasses for a normal prescription, if you pay for them. I think it’s sold as kind of a premium option.
At the place I got my last pair from, if you got half-frames (ie the ones that only have a solid frame around the top of the lenses) they made you get glass lenses, because the wire that goes along the bottom of the lense causes the plastic ones to split over time.

Double check the settings in your printer and slicer that “screen brightness”, “screen power”, “max power” or something to that effect is set to 100%. I’ve seen some default to 70%-80%, the theoretical reason being that reducing power to the screen can lengthen its lifespan… however, afaik these claims have not been backed up by data, and the logical counterargument is that any lifespan gains will be offset by the increased length of time the screen is on. Even if you can squeeze a few extra prints out of the screen before it dies, you’re making all your prints take way longer than necessary.
For reference, this is the recommended printing settings chart provided by anycubic for their standard gray reason; the recommended exposure time for your printer at default layer height is 2.5 seconds. If you’re using 100% power, you’re more than doubling the normalexposure.
- Comment on Continuous Print Fails 1 month ago:
exposure, which is set at 6 seconds
Woah, don’t know if this could be causing your problem, but this seems really high. I used to used a Mono X, highest exposure time would be in the 3s range. Are you maybe printing at reduced brightness?

- Comment on I have a question in regards to 3d modeling for a filament slicer addon to my hotend 1 month ago:
I’m also confused by what you’re trying to do. When you say you found “the step file for a generic filament slicer”, what is the model actually of? When you say “combine the two”, what do you mean? Are these two parts that fit together that you want to make one model, is it two separate things that you just want attached as one piece, are they two variations of the same thing that you want parts of one on the other, etc…
