I came here to say it looks like an HBJ

One DAY, you’re young. And then the NEXT. You’re standing in your BACK YARD. Like this. Staring at your bird FEEDER.

Agree 100%. My first printer was a cheap Kobra 2. I had a lot of problems with it and I’m not sure if it’s because of the printer or because I was changing settings without knowing what I was doing.

At any rate, I wanted something better and didn’t want anycubic, but Kobra 3 with AMS was only $299 at the time so I got one. It worked great. I started on some large printing projects and ended up getting a second one for $299 to spread the workload around.

I have about 600 hours on both and they’ve both been great. I have a Snapmaker U1 but I’m going to keep using the Kobra 3s for basic prints as long as they last.

It’s been a few years but I don’t remember it being too hard to set up. I did it on slackware, compiling everything from source, so anybody should be able to do it on a distro with dependency resolution.

They provided a zip file that is updated every so often (hourly?) and contains data for your specific region. I just used that. It does have an option that people can use their own data, but I think it’s because most NWS offices run this model in addition to the national models they get from upstream. No normal person has enough input data to be useful.

I haven’t done it in a few years but I used to run my own weather model. If fed the correct data and given time to crunch the numbers, several times a day you can create your own weather forecast that is probably (hopefully) similar to the freely available forecasts from the weather service, TV, radio and apps.

I would think the perimeter would have a lot of leverage on the center. I have a Snapmaker on the way but haven’t printed with different materials yet. There’s like 50 trees around the perimeter. Is it possible to make, say, 2 or 4 of the trees in PETG? Maybe that would be enough to keep it anchored.

I think the grey edge looks better than 100% white. Things like this are the reason I have AMS, all my prints are functional and could be done in one color, they just look better when they’re not. And if it’s for screws and hardware, they’re going to be down in the white where they’ll contrast, not hiding up on the edge.

Motion sensor positioned really close to the shower controls so it doesn’t see anything but them/your hand moving.

The bigger question might be how do you turn it off? I like the vibration sensor on the shower head

Slackware. In 27-ish years of using it, it’s never once crashed or failed to install

"I’ll weigh in a little bit here, I guess. At this point, I’d rather not implement something like this and don’t see the point of the legislation as written (other than, more than likely, get a foot in the door.) But my code is my speech. I doubt these laws would survive a challenge, as it’s pretty clearly government compelled speech.

Any lawyers looking for a test case? :-)"

I can’t find anything concrete from Fedora but the Fedora leader was thinking of ways to comply in some manner a month ago and had more ideas recently

Slackware on desktop, laptop and mini PC, Debian on anything smaller

Get a $250 printer and start using it. It may be all you’ll ever need, but after a year or so it’s likely you’ll start seeing other printers with different functions that you think would be useful and will decide to upgrade. Hopefully you’ll know what you want by then.

What kind of car were they in? They haven’t made dome lights that big in cars since 8 tracks

I found this which confirms it’s for adjusting the controls before getting in. I think this one in particular didn’t have people with disabilities in mind and is a poor execution all around.

I don’t doubt this may be the purpose but the execution looks bad. It may be an illusion but it seems a little far away from the water controls, you’d have to go past elbow deep. The toilet is definitely in the way. You can’t get to it with a wheelchair or while standing, you have to be sitting on the toilet.

Time for a reboot!!

Anybody ever read the Godfather book? It’s… kinda weird. Every time a new character is introduced, it’s goes into their sexual history. Like, do we really need to know Rocko is an attentive lover with a string of girlfriends that he has no trouble keeping satisfied before he goes and kills some dude?

And then there’s a part of the book that is about… How do I put this…

a woman getting a pussy tightening surgery.

It’s the bridesmaid that Sonny fucks in the closet at his sister’s wedding. She sought out Sonny, as did all the other women “with big mouths and wide hips” because he had a legendarily big cock and it was her only hope to get any pleasure, on account of her gigantic pussy and all.

After he dies, she tried to commit suicide. Not because she cared for him, she just figures she’ll always be alone because no one else in the world will have a cock that will be adequate to work with her ginormous pussy.

But much later in the book, she’s living at the family casino in Nevada, and her doctor boyfriend finally talks her into having sex and discovers her pussy is huge and convinces her that he knows a great plastic surgeon that can fix it. It walks through the consultation and surgery and everything. Not in explicit detail, but, like, it’s so weird.

And there’s weird comments like (not a quote) “Don’t worry, doll. I do great work. I’ll fix you up so nice he’ll be calling me every day to thank me.” Shit like that.

And it worked. After she has the surgery and they have sex, her doctor boyfriend immediately proposes to her.

So, anyway, yeah… I don’t know why they left the great pussy tightening subplot out of the movies.

I got obsessed with uptime in the early 2000s, but for my desktop Slackware box. It ran a bunch of servers and services and crap but only for me, not heavy loads of public users. Anyway, I reached 6 years of uptime without a UPS and was aiming for 7 when a power outage got me.

It’s legal in a lot of states in the US

I don’t see how it is a logical fallacy. A fallacy is when the conclusion is not supported by the premises. “Nothing to hide” is only one of those two required elements, the premise. The conclusion is undefined and might or might not be supported by the premise.

“Nothing to hide” is often a fallacy when arguing, say, government surveillance. “If you have nothing to hide you’ll accept metal detectors at the airport” is a fallacy. I accept metal detectors, but it’s because I value everyone’s safety over my minor invasion of privacy, I don’t think the premise of “nothing to hide” leads to the conclusion.

But I can’t say for sure every “nothing to hide” argument would be a fallacy without the rest of the argument.
