empireOfLove,

then you find out the power went out, and your boomer habit of using a normal AC powered alarm clock (so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality) just bit you in the fucking ass

empireOfLove,

Yeah. A clock with a full backup battery (not judt time keeping) is on my list of things I should get but can’t be assed to go look for.

empireOfLove,

Just keeps me from using the damn thing. Whenever you’re in bed you should be sleeping, your brain gets accustomed to that habit of lay down = sleep.

If you have your phone there while laying in bed and decide to pick it up to scroll lemmy/instagram/youtube/whatever, the stimulation and blue light will make you want to not sleep. Plus you might end up burning two hours of your sleep tine and not realize it…

He doesn’t have a chance in the popular vote. He already lost it once (twice, technically). And with how polarizing he’s become, only the more extreme fringe actors are outright supporting him, and those with real money want a “safe” candidate that allows them to keep grifting behind the scenes without causing such a big ruckus. He’ll lose a lot of big donor support, and people are growing tired of the constant outrage news that he generates.
We’ve seen how he performs a symphony of a clusterfuck in a 4 year term, and not even the GOP itself is jumping right at the idea of embracing another 4 years of that struggle- they’re waffling at the idea, and a lot of the extremist upstarts that got a foothold under Trump now want to knock him out of it so they can have their own moment of glory. But Trump was a one-time shot. He was THE face of “The Big Businessman, doing a Business” that appealed to the older, more bootstrapy kind of crowd that still unfortunately dominates the actively voting public. All the younger extremists are trying to parrot him and can’t quite get away with the same level of “crazy” energy without looking actually crazy, since they don’t have the gold-plated toilet of “American Success” to back them up.

But regardless of that, will every hard-right extremist fight tooth and nail to ensure he still wins, including but not limited to high treason, rushed gerrrymandering, voter intimidation (or outright slaughter) and the active dismantling of every aspect of democracy down to the local voter box level? You bet your ass they’re gonna try here.

empireOfLove,

I’ve almost always used PrusaSlicer just because the only printers I had access to were mk3s+.

I’ve started playing with Cura though because A. i wanted some more complex prints that PrusaSlicer struggled to support, and B. We also got some creality cr-30’s functional at my college again. So far I still feel Prusa is easier but that’s likely just familiarity.

empireOfLove,

Reminder that Panera sold out to venture capital in 2018 and has been actively enshittifying their entire chain ever since

Leeches, the entire lot of them

The secret is to gamble with other people’s money…

How much did it run you all in?

I’m a little iffy on jumping on the Chinese supplier train just because I worry about longer term parts and software support. Id rather support a based company like Prusa, except Prusa just isnt keeping up with everyone else in the features/capabilities department… But if the Chinese supplier’s quality passes, it’s hard to argue against.

empireOfLove,

Hmm. If the common wear items are commodity parts I’d probably be okay with it.

It being a high gear ratio direct drive is a huge plus too. I like my TPU.

I’ll add it to the consideration list for next year’s graduation present to myself. However without a multiextruder head or filament changer (I REALLY wanna do disolvable supports), it’ll be lower on the list. Thanks for providing your experiences!

empireOfLove,

Yeh but then I just dismiss the timer and it is gone from my brain before my phone is even set back on the table

empireOfLove,

Mmm clothes smelling like dirt 🥰🥰

empireOfLove,

Damn I wish I had money

empireOfLove,

I prefer One Giant Onion myself

empireOfLove,

Do I, though??

empireOfLove,

Maybe I am, maybe I ain’t…

Made an enclosure for my beepy. I think enclosures are my favourite part of printing (lemmy.world)

I grabbed a beepy a little while back (if interested BE ADVISED: they’ve since gone dark and left a bunch of people holding out for one, I got really lucky and ordered super early) so I could work on some python stuff on the go. I didn’t like having all the parts exposed, and the cases available seemed too flimsy for my...

empireOfLove,

The design-model-to-print pipeline is really what I enjoy the most too. Very nice design work!

Feels like a lot of people get into printing but then just print existing models from online- which is valid, but missing out on a HUGE opportunity that is really what makes 3d printing useful.

empireOfLove,

Feels like it sometimes. I mean hell, the last time it broke I had to email Jonah to even get him to come look at it… to think it’s managed to run this entire time with zero interaction or maintenance is scary.

empireOfLove,

One of those shitposts where I cannot tell if it is a legitimate real post or an edit

This is a weird timeline

empireOfLove,

folder.old

then it’s all fun and games till you’ve been fucking with it for 3 hours and you get to folder.old.old.old.old.old

empireOfLove,

Finally an answer to the age old question.

What in the fuck was that kanye??

I told you to do some shit for the kids!

Engineering your microwave's Popcorn button (img.wonderhowto.com)

A friend recently pointed out that, despite most microwave ovens having a Popcorn function, most bags of popcorn specifically say NOT to use that function. It got me wondering how the Popcorn button works (or doesn’t work). Apparently there are several different approaches in common use....
