Dayum. How often do they need refilling? With rebco magnets out there, surprised we're not using more ln2 instead.

Maybe just older machines?

Yes it does. Lives matter more than objects, that's some crazy basic truth people understand past being a toddler.

Hmm. Just how old are you anyway?

Lower compression ratios are a common trick to increase longevity and fuel compatibility. You reduce horsepower and fuel efficiency, but gain reliability.

Well.. he was doing ok in NYC for a while, and that's a tough gig. I'd call him a petite bourgeoisie if we're talking about the actual definition of the word lol.

If we're taking about his chutzpah, giving a billion dollar company the figure on the regular, that's just the NYC mentality. The social stratum in the city can be very strange, for ex living in the building next to trump himself, but knowing he's completely divorced from the realities of a regular guy.

We might be from the same city, but some of us are new yorkers, some of us merely do business there.

What's wrong with Louie?

Dinkins was pretty cool.

But look, it's a megalopolis of people working hard, tired af at the end of every day.

Want political office? You gotta have real money, real connections, and the time and energy to get that power.

Unfortunately that magically counts out the majority of us.

Ey fuck you, buddy 😆

Yeah, I've been wondering about that.. any theories?

Been enjoying it up here, personally. Hope you guys enjoy the stay.

Anyone else hear these jets? They're zipping, and how.

E: Blue Angels doing some practice.

Anyone have input here?

I'm trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I'm aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.

I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?

Google Pay alternative?

Hey there, I'm looking for an alternative to Google pay that'll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

I don't have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don't get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

 

What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

NBD, but what the fuck?

Gluten free? (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to make gluten free bread that might be as soft and fluffy as that previously posted Japanese milk bread appears to be?

Some interesting ideas on reducing the time to decrypt certain ciphered info, in spite of axolotl's large key-size.

How's the weather up there for riding? Not afraid of water, just careful with it.

Hey everyone.

I built an mk3s+ from its kit form successfully, tested a few PLA prints with the stock 0.4 nozzle.

I've set prusaslicer to use a 0.6 nozzle now that I've upgraded, and am using PETG. Prints look pretty bad, in spite of calibrating z-offset etc.

If you were doing something like this for the first time, what would your setup steps be like?

To be specific, using a diamondback 0.6 nozzle, matterhackers PETG at 235c.

Issues I'm seeing are a really bad loss of detail, lots of stringing, etc.

eta: added a photo of a moderately post-processed part. Notice how rough the top surface looks, there's a disconnect between perimeter loops, etc.
