And lets take a step back to see the forest for the trees and realize the destination for this energy is more AI slop with little to no use for anyone.

- Comment on Question: To replace or attempt fix 4 days ago:
This is basically me and several people I know who all grew tired of the constant tinkering and print failures and quit using their printers almost completely before upgrading to the new crop of printers that just work (in our case Bambu) without all the fuss. I now have 3100 print hours on my X1C after about a year and a half which is probably 2-3 times the usage of my old Artillery Sidewinder after 3.5 years of ownership and tons of mods.
- Comment on Why does my overhang/bridge look so bad? Isn't this small enough to be done better? 4 days ago:
See if you can change the number of bottom layers or the bottom layer pattern to get a different result.
- Comment on YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases 5 days ago:
Im not great with budgeting but this is what I do. I just keep a pool of money for ‘whatever’ purchases.

- Comment on How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder? 1 week ago:
Seems like you answered your own question.
We had a week long power outage after a winter ice storm a few years ago and would have been screwed without our gas water heater and fireplace, so I’m a big fan of having both gas and electric.
- Comment on Printed this extra long cat snake on my ender3v3 (this thing is longer than my 10yo!). The print came great for the most part. What do you think happened at this one spot? Bed adhesion issue? 1 week ago:
I do both. Ive never had good luck just using dish soap and water alone and still have adhesion issues until wiping with IPA.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 week ago:
Those are all physical devices though. I agree platform exclusives aren’t good for anyone but the companies but it does seem like most are moving away from that model with these newer generation consoles.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 week ago:
I don’t think its necessarily the prices that are the issue but what you’re getting for it. Games have historically not kept up with inflation and still cost less than what we were paying for SNES carts in the 90s, but now they’re the 15th sequel of some franchise and are only half finished so there isn’t much draw for customers.

- Comment on No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter - Waterfox Blog 2 weeks ago:
Im genuinely confused by your reply. I wasn’t referring to ladder climbers in a positive light. I see them shoehorning AI into pointless projects that dazzle the bosses because they don’t know any better or because they want to dazzle their own bosses with more jumbo jumbo derived from their own reports.

- Comment on No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter - Waterfox Blog 2 weeks ago:
What about all those ladder climbers who want to sound like they’re tapped in to the pulse of cutting edge technology to the bosses? I work with engineers and it seems to be pretty split between full adoption and full rejection.
- Comment on Selling my old printer, looking for feedback 2 weeks ago:
Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are places that people sell their used items. I think “Kajiji” is one in Canada maybe?
- Comment on Selling my old printer, looking for feedback 2 weeks ago:
Can you check your local FB marketplace and Craigslist for similar printers? That’ll probably give you the best idea of what they’d go for locally. That said $200CAD doesn’t seem terrible, but with everyone buying CoreXY machines these days, that drives the price of the old bed slingers down even further.

- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 2 weeks ago:
They’ll do both just like they did in 2007/2008. These AI companies and their investors will get bailed out while the rest of us lose our jobs and have to move back in with our parents in the van they already live in.
- Comment on What is the right way to slice/support this model? I've had this fail to print 4 times on my Ender 3 v3 CoreXZ 2 weeks ago:
As mentioned this is not easy to print. You might consider cutting the model into two pieces. From the shown orientation, I would do a planar cut just below the top surface, trying to capture those “screws” (I don’t know what they’re called, they tighten the strings) in the top cut and then flip the bottom section over so the spherical dome is printed like an upside down bowl. This should only require supports for the large piece at the top of the neck.
- Comment on I bought an Ender 3 V3 (corexz) recently, and have been having bed adhesion issues. Please help me interpret this bed adhesion test result 2 weeks ago:
Crank down on that back left corner a little more and rerun this test to see if you can get it under a 0.2mm range for the height difference. Since you’ve moved the printer off the table and on to the floor it may have altered things so you’ll want to redo it anyway (and any other time you physically move the printer).
- Comment on I bought an Ender 3 V3 (corexz) recently, and have been having bed adhesion issues. Please help me interpret this bed adhesion test result 2 weeks ago:
I think its a bit excessive. That shows there’s almost a two and a half layer (at a standard 0.2mm layer) difference between the high and low spots. On my old printer with klipper installed, I would shoot for less than 0.2mm.

Many states have made these illegal. I got pulled over for one of these in my blue state almost two decades ago.

Thus has been the norm for years. Those red light and speed cameras in your town are also owned by private companies.
- Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 3 weeks ago:
I’d bet you could soak it in some CLR to get rid of the deposits.
- Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 3 weeks ago:
I think the doctor can give you a medicated cream for that and you should probably drink more water.
- Comment on Filament splicing? Do any of you guys do it? 4 weeks ago:
Not completely unnecessary. I have several 95% used tricolor filaments that aren’t wound with the colors in the same orientation so I can’t just feed a replacement in. I’ve tried splicing but it’s been insanely difficult to get them to line up properly while the plastic is still heated.
- Comment on Whats going on in YSK? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s a test to see if they can make the bot convincing enough to fool people and delete the ones that don’t.
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 4 weeks ago:
Great sentiment but we all know a business will get a pass for this just like when Meta got busted torrenting all those books and were told its okay because they’re using it to train their AI.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 4 weeks ago:
What’s hilarious is that this started with Win10 so its been an issue for over a decade now and two major revisions at least (possibly started on Win8).
