This is fantastic advice. Imo it shows good mental health. My wife and I first started hanging out because I organized weekly friend dinners where I did most of the cooking. But having physical tangible skills with something to show for them was also good. Woodworking, hiking, cooking, reading, etc

Yeah you can only use their slicer. They did make a plug in to allow the use of other slicers but it still goes through their systems. After the backlash, they did implement a "developer mode" but there's some downsides to that. This should give a good overview.

Yikes that's bad. Looking at the price and style of the Artillery Genius, you may be well served by an Ender 3v3 SE. The Bambu A1 is also really good but they're pretty closed and have done some shenanigans lately to fully close. If you don't mind some extra money the Prusa Mk4 is great.

Yeah that's totally fair. I've never had to do that (except hotend but that was by choice) on my Creality but I've had to put a bunch of work into it to get it consistent. Prusa and Bambu are about as consistent and print out-of-the-box as you can get with a 3dprinter.

A lot of people recommending Bambu. I'd be wary of them because of everything recently. Prusa is top notch but pricey. Mk4 or CoreOne. If you're willing to spend a bunch of time tinkering Creality is good budget. If you want to just print and don't care about open source Bambu is still good.

I'm not gonna yuck your yum. But it is only sludge because you distill it. Otherwise it's just dissolved minerals ;)

Is there some problem with minerals in the water?

That sludge is very likely just minerals in the water

I'm assuming you don't know who @margaret.bsky.social is based on your response. They run a podcast about emergency preparedness from a leftist and community standpoint. I understand how this may seem like fanning panic but their entire goal is to help people be prepared so they don't have to panic

I don't think we owe them an apology. They over promised and under delivered. Once they released and realized it was a massive disappointment, they made it right. We don't owe them an apology for initial criticism but they do deserve praise for what they've done since then.

Honestly I think you may want to consider book piracy. I figured, they're not getting any money if you borrow a physical copy at your local library, so if my local library has it, why shouldn't I just download it. Book piracy is INCREDIBLY easy.

I don't find this convincing. In the same way that I care about the life of a Palestinian despite them possibly hating LGBTQ folk, I care about people who may have voted conservative because their life still matters. I don't find it useful to try to fuck over red voters who got duped

I agree with you mostly. The boomer generation massively screwed over America. But the working class people who are living off a pension are not the same people who fucked over our current society.

You should care though because the livelihood of many elderly people relies on it. That isn't to say we need to maintain it forever. We need an alternative. But right now it is vital for a good chunk of old people to live.

I basically only grocery shop at Costco so idk if it's different there. Really only watch one football team but I kinda just tune out during adverts so I may have just missed them

I think it's probably easier than you think depending on media consumption habits. I basically only know about it from socially media and the last movie I saw in a theater. I don't watch broadcast TV and use an ad blocker and haven't seen anything about it in the places I shop.

I think many writers are realizing that media literacy is at a low. Many pieces of media that had less than subtle meanings are getting even less subtle because people took them the wrong way. Liked the wrong characters. The Boys is one example of this.

I'm such a huge fan of this book! I keep recommending it to people cause it was just such an incredible read.

It kinda feels like the pendulum is starting to swing with movies at least

No that's not a reliable way to do this. For example, if a contract falls through, then that streaming platform you "bought" it on loses the rights to the media and so do you. This happened recently with Sony whose customers lost rights to ALL Discovery media

Seconding them. Their exposé on the fundamentalist hate church was extremely revealing

There isn't a video because these things happen on such a large scale over a relatively long period of tens of thousands of years. This particular image was captured by Hubble in 1998 so it wasn't AI. However, anyone with access to a sufficiently large telescope can see the emissions themselves.

Since you're a professor, one source that may be good for you is the YouTube channel Ethan Chlebowski. He goes about food in a relatively academic way. His website is also cookwell.com. Adam Ragusea is good for a no nonsense approach for just good simple food.

Any pictures of woodworking projects? I always love to see what other people have worked on
