I ended up picking up smoking in college in the early 2000s and I have to wonder if the constant exposure to second hand smoke in places I worked, in cars from family members, etc, was a factor
I was disgusted at the time but then I fell into it. I quit eventually, which was a nightmare, but I do think the exposure to second hand nicotine from the age of like 2 was maybe a factor

I wish mangaupdates/bakaupdates did anime too. It’s the best aggregator. No bullshit, no ads (probably, if there are any they disappear with Adblock), straightforward design straight out of like 2005. Given their relationship with scanlation groups they could also have a pretty awesome database of fansub releases potentially.
Would be so much better than those random spreadsheet websites where some discord channel decides the best release with no criteria they are willing to share publicly and erases the existence of all others like seadex and sneedex.
But even if they didn’t I still would prefer to just use that for everything. It’s just a comfier website. I hate MAL, anidex, etc
- Comment on Best way to prevent Bambu A1 mini from updating firmware? 1 week ago:
That’s similar to the isolated vlan but someone who knows more about networking than me will probably be able to explain why the vlan is superior. I would imagine it’s failsafeness, the vlan is just its own thing
The benefit of doing the domain specific firewall blocking would be if you wanted your printer to otherwise have internet access (eg to check octoprint remotely). I don’t print when I’m not home due to the risk of fire and I don’t trust opening up my printer to the web, so I don’t bother with this. Others may have different opinions on acceptable risk
- Comment on Best way to prevent Bambu A1 mini from updating firmware? 1 week ago:
Easy mode: don’t connect it to internet
Slightly harder and mode: add exceptions for bambus servers in your routers firewall so that requests to that domain are blocked
Dependent on hardware that you own and less likely: create a virtual lan for your 3d printer that does not have internet access but has intranet access, allowing you to connect between computers but not to the web (my preferred solution)

Working hard increases the chances of success is a better way to phrase it but networking is basically a necessity and luck is paramount
- Comment on Luxury bones? In *this* economy. 2 weeks ago:
I do own a house (finally got one in my late 30s) but part of what got me here is ignoring dental care (missing 2 teeth)
I would be missing three but I went to Costa Rica once for unrelated reasons and got an implant while I was there. Ruined my trip a little bit because getting an implant sucks but it was $750 vs $5100 in America (with pretty good insurance)
If you’re missing teeth for a long time (I’m pushing 8 years now) the rest of your teeth start moving around. It’s a real problem. Additionally once this happens missing teeth can exacerbate hip and back problems! Your jaw misaligns and then your posture gets fucked up

- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a three way street though. Lazy consumers are to blame for enabling but bad companies are worse for having anti consumer practices to begin with. And the biggest failure of all is our government for allowing anti consumer behavior to run rampant and not allow any meaningful regulation to go through because they’re utterly corrupted and pro corporation.
In the “normies” defense in a functional society I shouldn’t have to research every purchase I make to ensure it is not hostile against me. However, we live in a dystopia where it is necessary to either manufacture your own foss solution or research for the purchasable option (that is often just the least hostile but still fairly hostile)
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 2 weeks ago:
We have become so normalized to anti consumer behavior it doesn’t even matter anymore
Like it used to be that a videogame manufacturer charged for a dlc that was already on the game disc, you had to pay to unlock data that you technically had purchased but not licensed, and people threw a fucking fit. Now it’s like “this new tech device will only work if you insert $20 bills every 30 minutes” and people are like “oh well that sucks but what are you gonna do? I need a toaster that can send me a notification when my toast is done”
Fuck the companies that do anti consumer bullshit, fuck the youtuber dummies that normalize it because they got $50 and a free shitty printer, fuck the government that has completely failed to regulate anything, and fuck the dummies who constantly enable this nonsense because they refuse to spend 10 minutes researching their purchases and instead spend the rest of their life in credit card debt because they have $1100 in monthly subscriptions to stupid bullshit that makes their stuff work for 18 months until the company goes bankrupt, their device is bricked, and they replace it with another piece of shit that has the same anticonsumer bullshit
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 2 weeks ago:
I build an original voron 1.0, reused the parts to build a 2.0, and built that into a 2.4 with mostly newer parts because the frame was just fucked from all that nonsense. I have a very low serial from back when they did that on the subreddit, not sure if that’s still a thing
Even with the raggedy frame it was a great printer. But building it properly it’s bulletproof. Costly but if you want a forever printer that you can mod it’s the way to go imo

- Comment on How effective would sanctions on US by the international community be? 2 weeks ago:
To be clear I agree with you still. I think they should do it but I think they won’t
I am an American and this action will cause me pain but I think things need to get worse here unfortunately. I think the only potential silver lining of this situation is that it may get so bad that people finally develop a bit of class consciousness and demand change.
I do not hold out hope for this though, and even if it does occur I do not hold out hope that it sustains beyond our four year election cycle. Power forces and moneyed interests working against it and such. But it would be nice
- Comment on How effective would sanctions on US by the international community be? 2 weeks ago:
Ultimately I agree with you but if I’m a leader of say, Canada or somewhere in the EU I wouldn’t bank on it
For one I’ve also been around many “disordered folks” as you call them (outpatient therapist) and rhetoric can escalate. This is a common behavioral pattern called an extinction burst. You stop giving into his bullshit? That’s the most dangerous time of all. Even putting that aside there’s just the risk of him getting escalating amounts of unchecked power. Those threats might get cashed once he decides he wants to check and see if he can actually get away with it.
But that aside it’s not him as much as the entourage. There’s a group behind him and some of them are clearly looking to push him towards alienating the us from all their allies. He doesn’t work in a vacuum. He has a bunch of people saying “maybe you should do this”. He even has people saying “you have to do this, I gave you x million dollars”. Again, if I’m leading Canada this is what truly worries me. Trump may be a chickenshit but the warhawks behind him that want to sell a bunch of military gear and get contracts are frothing at the mouth for this kind of thing.

You’re seeing the end result of “boycott” problems right now though
They will simply take your money. They will pay you increasingly less, tax the little bit they pay you increasingly more, and use the money from the taxes they forcibly take from you to launder your money right back to the oligarchs. Why do you think musk is destroying shit? Why do you think they are pushing to privatize everything? That last little bit of power you have, to vote with your wallet, will become increasingly meaningless
- Comment on Purchased an Osborne MPV1024 monitor and it just works 2 weeks ago:
Do you know much about crt maintenance? If so get on it!
If not: it seems like it’s in good shape but based on your description of the arcing sound and image distortion you may have high voltage leakage.
Before investigating the fix for that start with basics: clean the inside of the case. Open it up, don’t touch anything dangerous yet (turn it off and disconnect power though, obviously). Blast out everything with compressed air. Dust build up, insect nests, etc can wreak havoc but I don’t think this is the issue. I bet it’s the anode cap
Pretty easy fix: clean the anode cap. Power it down, let it sit for a bit, look up how to discharge the tube (you basically bridge the anode to ground with something like a screwdriver. This is dangerous though bc very high voltage so watch a video to see what to actually do and use an insulated screwdriver, obviously)
Once the anode cap is off clean it and the area around it with isopropyl. If the anode cap is damaged that poses a bigger challenge, you can sometimes source a replacement still or bodge repair them if not
If it’s not the anode cap next check is flyback. This is easy to diagnose generally. Just look at it: does it have cracks, does it smell, burn marks, can you wiggle it/is it loose (power disconnected obviously) then that’s probably got some issues. Sourcing a replacement can be a pain
Finally check grounding straps. Less likely but could be a factor
If none of that works it’s probably arcing inside the tube. Sorry if that’s the case and enjoy it while it lasts, nothing lasts forever. This is probably not the case, maybe

So what you’re saying is cows, pigs, and chickens just gotta start eating people to save themselves
- Comment on Happy Birthday Emma! 2 weeks ago:
People eat alligator, crocodile, shark, bear, and snake, all of which are or can be carnivorous
Again, you just make a weird distinction. This isn’t even an “American culture vs Asian culture” thing. Gator and crocodile are pretty big in the southeast.
But whatever you need to justify killing a pig that has a deeper capacity for emotional intelligence than your dog does as well as stronger ability for numerical reasoning skills and independent thought

Lots of cultures eat horse. I have a Japanese friend whose favorite decadent meal is raw horse meat.
I think eating any meat is fucked up if you’re in a developed nation where it is simple to get adequate protein and calories without animal sources
I also think if you’re going to do it it’s weird to make a distinction between animals that are simply domesticated (like dogs and cats) versus animals that are quite intelligent (like pigs, who are objectively more intelligent than dogs)

I don’t know what demographic you think these people were. They were by and large African immigrants. It’s weird that you’ve created this boogeyman version of them in your head though
They would make stuff like jollof rice and share it with everyone. Super nice people. The only politics they ever brought up was one guy I got to know well would talk a lot about how the elections in the Congo at the time (2010ish) were rigged and the leader at the time was concentrating his power; that war was inevitable if someone did not intervene. He apparently was right because the m23 has been going off there, though admittedly I don’t know the full scale of the situation
- Comment on What peripheral do you think should make a comeback? 3 weeks ago:
I want a lightgun that works like those big chunky ones you’d see on arcade machines back in the day that weighed like 4 lbs and had servos to give it real clacky recoil. I know people make these and you can buy them (or even just pull ones off an old arcade cabinet and interface them with the hardware) but they’re way to expensive for me to actually buy though.
If it was like a $50-100 project maybe but I’m pretty sure it’s like $600+ and that’s just an obscene amount of money for this. But it would be fun

- Comment on If we need a common enemy for people to get along then society has already failed 3 weeks ago:
So you were administering systems or something similar? Then sure, I am sure for you and your team it brought you together (and maybe some tension at times). Glad it went well. But society as a whole? Eh
That’s the challenge though. On a micro level it’s easy. I work in mental health and I have similar stories from my days working in hospitals (I do outpatient work now) where our unit staff have banded together for challenges. Covid was like that at the beginning. Then it fell apart because everything became politicized thanks to our dogshit leadership at the time
But finding something that can (for the most part) unite all of society? Even limiting it to just the US that’s a talllllll order. Especially if you also don’t want it to fall apart after a month like the Covid thing
