  • If I recall correctly, it was written by Plato based on the witness of a person in an adjacent cell. By all accounts, he was not a charlatan. He kept talking to people about all his usual stuff and telling people to quit crying because it’s not that big a deal. When the guard came with the drink, he thanked him for his troubles, and asked him how to make it work the best. The guard told him to drink it, and then walk around his cell until his legs feel heavy, and then just lay down. He downed it in one pull, paced around his cell making jokes about how he was taking this so much better than everybody else around him until he had to be helped into bed. He picked that moment to remind his main student, Crito, that he owed an animal sacrifice to Asclepius, but hadn’t gotten around to it yet, and died. Legend.




  • I’ve always loved this painting, because it looks like he’s flipping off of God while he tells the guy in red everything that he hates about him personally. His friends behind red, are trying to get him to go home because he’s drunk and causing a scene, and the two guys in back it just came to watch the drama when they heard commotion. The bartender, who still has his tab open, is handing him another drink.


  • I think I subconsciously added the ‘boring’ part simply to make clear the fact that I didn’t consider the ‘straight cis’ part to be in any way superior, like a title of prestige or anything. I dream of the day when this sort of thing is put in the same category as learning that someone is left-handed. It’s a point of notice given the rarity, but it will never change someone’s opinion of you after learning that. No accommodations really need to be made at this point, because the fraction of the population that is left-handed has long since been accounted for and designed around. The most complete level of acceptance that can be reached for any concept is when it can be safely ignored while still acknowledging that it exists. I feel like we’re nearly there with gay people, in that, it’s something that can be mentioned without changing your tone of voice at the office. There’s clearly still work to do though, and I’m glad to help out however I’m able. You just keep being you.



  • Not quite sure what your concern is with the top fill pattern. It is a load-bearing part, so it kind of needs to be the way it is to retain the part coming out the other side. As far as the extruder exiting the perimeter of the model, I would remind you of the possibility of printing more than one model on a build plate. Although, I hadn’t yet considered trying to print only one to see if it still happens, as a troubleshooting approach. I’ll try that later, to rule out the possibility that it’s being mechanically pulled off by an extruder transport move.



  • I’d considered raising the temperature a little to get the perimeter to stick better to its neighbor, but I wasn’t sure if hotter printing would worsen the thermal contraction, which is what I was originally suspecting was happening. Nothing ever pulls off from an outer perimeter, it’s only inner perimeters of empty loops or holes.
