That vase shows up everywhere. It was on Thingiverse for years before Printables even existed.
If you browse filaments on Amazon right now you’re likely to see that vase model as an example of the filament in the pictures.
If you go on etsy, you’ll see that vase being sold and has been sold there for years.
To showcase fancy filaments, YouTubers will often print that specific vase.
It’s been printed millions of times worldwide.
That vase was featured on Daily Dose of Internet twice (not that that matters much but it’s an interesting thing considering that Daily Dose doesn’t usually care about 3D prints).
If you’ve been in the hobby for five years but don’t know about that vase, you’ve been living under a rock.
I actually asked Gemini for an estimate of how many prints of that model exist worldwide and it said “1.5 million and 3.5 million prints”. Based on all of Google’s collected statistics about it on the Internet.

It’s almost as if you take on some risk when you buy companies 🤔

They obviously wished for fame and the tree obliged.

This just means they really are a stone’s throw away from us in the tree of evolution.

Mental picture required: The note will not take effect unless the writer of the note has the person’s face in mind.
40-second rule: If the new form and/or personality are not written within 40 seconds, the person will Yuri at random (with whoever is compatible and closest).
6 minutes, 40 second rule: After writing the basic details of the Yuri, additional traits can be specified within the next six minutes, 40 seconds.

Massive overkill!
That’s a great Home Theater PC. Hook it up to your TV and install KDE Plasma (distro of your choice 👍) then just crank up the global desktop zoom to like 225% and get:
- A real wireless mouse that has a long range (e.g. $10 TEKNET cheapo deal with 10% off coupon today, LOL! a.co/d/02qG1oHO )
- A wireless keyboard/trackpad combo that’s made for that kind of thing (they’re all terrible keyboards—it’s only purpose is to get you through the boot menu/rescue process if something horrible goes wrong). Use SSH for doing any real work on the thing.
Now install Docker and all the containers/servers you want!
I have a ~14yo HTPC with a mostly modern GPU (8GB) that only has 8GB of RAM and four cores on some old AMD CPU. It’s running four separate servers for my self-host purposes and it doesn’t break a sweat.

It’s a 5.25" slot cover, duh! You’ve got three of them.
(Plus a hard drive with a vent, a 3.5-to-5.25" floppy adapter, and a CD ROM drive)
