I’m currently printing a thing with black PLA and it might not be enough. Can I put black PETG in there when it runs out and continue like nothing happened? I’d adjust the nozzle temperature, of course.
There’s a reason why PETG/PLA are used as interface materials for supports in multi-material printers. There’s no molecular bond and so the parts will snap off very easily.
Can be from any genre. Mine is when an acoustic guitar comes in towards the end of a song and totally changes or reframes the mood/energy (see “Money” by Widowspeak)
I love when the track goes completely silent for a single rest after some buildup and then punches back into the full chorus. If that “gap” in noise is part of the melody itself it’s even cooler. It makes the following sound so much more impactful, even if the actual volume hasn’t increased by much.
I’ve never played D&D and I’m getting into BG3. I must be marathoning my characters cause I’m usually out of spells when I run into fights. My useful exploration spells also cost spell slots so I’m usually proceeding with cantrips for my adventures until I decide I really need to recharge....
There are certain timed events that will trigger if you long rest nearby, so make sure if you’re near a place that looks like it needs immediate attention, that you don’t long rest quite yet.
I got a Wizard minifigure from my LEGO store for free on my birthday and decided to do what I’ve been doing with all my minifigures - build him a biome....
I’m getting to the point where I need some storage other than plastic bags for my switches and caps. I’ve seen some fancy keycap storage like these and these, and some switch storage like these....
I’m going to go against the grain here and say you should get a Prusa. I had an Ender 3 V2 as my first printer and it was an endless series of headaches with all of the little adjustments and tweaks I needed to make every other print. I nearly gave up the hobby and took a break for about a year because I was so sick of it. Furthermore, an Ender absolutely did not teach me everything there is to know about how 3D printers work, even with all the fiddling.
Eventually I got an i3 MK3S+ kit. The kit helped me to actually learn everything about what goes on inside a 3D printer. I would recommend staying away from preassembled printers, at least at first. Ever since building it, it’s basically been a fire and forget type of machine, barring routine maintenance and a shorted thermistor that was my own fault. It’s my main workhorse and I now use it to run a small 3D printing business.
On top of all that, Prusa’s designs are all open-source, their printer profiles are extremely well-tuned using PrusaSlicer, and getting official replacement parts is a breeze. It’s definitely something I would get if you want or need something that can’t have a lot of downtime.
As for your question regarding PLA, it should be okay, but if you’re really concerned about it, you can get an enclosure to help contain the fumes. I have the official Prusa enclosure with all the add-ons. I think you can get it bundled with a printer for a discount.
Even a hotbed replacement isn’t that bad. I ended up swapping out the entire hotend when I shorted the thermistor because I thought I also broke the heater cartridge as well. You can partially disassemble the MK3S’s tool head and it’s basically remove-> insert the new part and close it up again - > rewire.
I recall hearing a long time ago that most news sites, magazines, newspapers, etc. tend to target a sixth grade reading level. So, I don’t know if there’s been a sharp rise, but it’s not really surprising considering how far beyond most readers should be.
Also got it belted up, but found out afterwards that I used a grease that is controversial on the rails (superlube with syncolor). It’s recommended by LDO and Nero3D uses it in his video, but many folks on the Voron Discourse say it’s a no-go. I’d rather not risk it, so I’m uninstalling the rails, cleaning/degreasing...
Im looking into building my own Voron myself, but I’m hesitating because there are just so many unknowns for what I want to do. Are you planning on installing multiple toolheads, enclosing it, or adding extras like runout sensors, load cell sensors, etc?
I have an i3 MK3S+ with the official enclosure. In my experience it doesn’t really affect PLA unless you’re printing something with zero infill. I had one print that kept curling, and all I had to do was just open the doors.
I’m struggling with CSS Flexbox. Each time I think I’m about to get it in an aha momet, I’m actually two steps backwards. I’m taking The Odin Project course and I’m at the phase where I am building the landing page. I’ve worked on it for 16 straight hours and I’m almost finished. It just looks like shit on a small...
So, for flex-direction: column, usually you’ll want to use it when you need multiple items to be consistently spaced vertically. For example, you have a testimonials section on your webpage with some divs that contain quotes, and you want them to be centered in the page, stack on top of each other, and have equal spacing between each quote. This is where flex-direction: column comes in. You just set the flex five to the height you want, slap display: flex and the flex direction properties on it, set justify-content to between, and maybe align-items to center so that all the child divs are in the center of the parent, and voila!
In real life, you’ll mainly see this used on mobile, where lots of elements need to be stacked on top of each other, but there are cases on other viewports where it makes sense. For example, in lining up fields in a vertical form like a login or sign up page where the username, password, and login/create account buttons are all stacked on top of each other.
This has been on my mind lately. My dad is going through it, his sister has got it pretty bad and I apparently have the predisposed gene to get in my future....
You could get hit by a truck the day after having your child leaving them without a parent. Don’t let fear hold you back. No one lives without experiencing any suffering at all, it’s just part of life. If you love your children and care for them, then they’re already setup to have a much better life than most will.

Rick Darge is fantastic if you’re into high-quality, short form sketch comedy. Krazam has grown recently but is still relatively small and makes more tech-related sketches.
For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie...
Hot take: I don’t “get” Spirited Away. Like I appreciate the art and animation, but the story and characters are a confusing mess to me. I’ve heard the explanation of “it’s a critique of Japanese society”, and looking back on it I can see the symbolism, but if you need additional context for the story to make sense, then I don’t think it’s a very good movie, at least I don’t think it deserves universal acclaim if it only makes sense to one specific culture.

Well, self awareness goes a long way, so you’re on the right path. Lots of people get crotchety and cynical by focusing too much on things that are outside their control. Focus more on areas of your life that you can influence, and learn to enjoy your life for what it is rather than what it could be.
Honestly, if you’re the type of person who’s prone to this, disengaging from hyper cynical social media platforms (yes, including Lemmy) is probably another good idea.
My dad used to be super into politics and consumed rage-bait news on TV and social media a lot, especially during the height of covid. Once he unplugged from all of that there was a noticeable shift in his demeanor and I would say that he’s significantly happier and more content now.

If you’re looking for a good JRPG, I can’t recommend the Persona series enough. I hate traditional JRPG’s but I love Persona and have dumped literally hundreds of hours into P5/ P5 Royal. I know it’s not pixel art, but the art style is very unique and fun to look at.
