The implication is that it's your own blood, but I like the planning/forethought. I think you'll be going places. Probably at a run.

There are a lot of never-maskers out there, but I’d say that I’ve seen at least an order of magnitude increase in general usage even years after the lock downs and mandate have been lifted.
And, unlike engineers in manufacturing whose deep-pocket corporations bought an exemption, Engineers in the A/E/C field are licensed. And if you screw up you can lose your ability to work in your field…forever.
Feel the hate. Let it flow through you.
Trick question. The answer is that no party has a majority in the senate. Two independents caucus with 49 democrats to form the leadership structure, but that is not a party majority - merely a ruling coalition.
Oh, I didn’t mean to come off as dissing Prusa in general. I ponied up for an XL and it’s night-and-day better than any previous printer I’ve owned.
If this was during an auto level, it's my humble opinion that this is a manufacturer's defect in the machine that caused the damage. There should be proper coding to ensure that any increase in sensor pressure by (delta p) halt that machine and that there should be a pressure offset in the sensor such that a loss of signal or anomalous zero reading or lack of reading is done prior to levelling to ensure that a sensor failure has not occurred. My XL freaks out if a fan isn't spinning at the right speed, so they clearly know that a nominal operational check before the print starts is proper engineering design.
Of course you won't get anywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of 3D print failures really are user error so I suspect that's their default response and it takes them a good deal of proof to push them of that mark.
Indeed, I'm not sure even testing is sufficient. My family recently got it (my wife and I visiting my parents), but thought nothing of it for a week. My father had a sore throat, my mother had watery eyes and some nasal congestion. My father masked indoors (because I don't want a regular cold either) and chalked my mother's symptoms to seasonal allergies (the cars were covered with Pine pollen all week). Then, on the drive home, my wife felt off. 10 hours in the car together. She slept in the guest room that night and, just for grins, tested for Covid the next morning. She was positive. We called and had my parent's test - both positive. I tested negative so I packed my things and rented a hotel room for the week and worked there alone. I tested every other day and was never positive, but I cancelled all my client meetings.
I still never "got it" but...is it really feasible I didn't have some low level? This is my second trip in a car for multiple hours with someone who tested positive the next day. Granted, I'm about 4 vaccines in (2xOG, 1 updated, 1 XBB variant), but so is my wife. I have to think that I had some sub-clinical level of viral load, or at least below the antigen test threshold, but I'm thankful I escaped symptoms.
Not to defend them or minimize the corporate stupidity, but it sounded like there were less than 100k people affected out of tens of millions (100m?) accounts. I get that it was a big deal for those affected, but a 0.1% outage doesn’t seem “major”.
The miracles never cease!

I've been wanting to try and make a mount for space gaming to go with my office chair - a Steelcase Leap. The organic-ish arms didn't make an easy way to create a clamp system, but in fooling around with it recently I noticed I could remove the armrest pads and they had a nice 4-bolt pattern. Since this is my office chair I need to be able to swap in or out of gaming setup easily.
I added a 30mm tall adapter that lets me slide a 6mm x 30mm (actually, 1/4x1-1/4) bar in and secure at the back, with a plate adapter to mount my old HOTAS4 to the bar, and a pin at at the rear for quick release.
The plates and adapters are eSun PLA+ which is fairly stiff but has some durability/ductility to it. The bar was supposed to be 6061-T6 aluminum but I was lazy and didn't feel like making a mess in the shop, ripping down some surplus plate I have, and I was too cheap to go out and buy 1/4x1-1/4 steel bar stock so I decided to print the bars from PAHT-CF (high temp nylon with carbon fiber). The 385mm bars just barely fit diagonally on my CR-10s.
Banana for scale but, also, the desk is 6' long and the little monitor is 43" (and will be re-purposed elsewhere).
Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.
I looked all over the Golden Circle for some kitschy souvenir shirt to bring home and was hoping for a call back to the 2008 Journey movie with Brendan Fraser. Doubly disappointed as Aníta Briem (Hannah Ásgeirsson) is a native Icelander.
Since I couldn't find one, I made my own.
(I didn't actually make it to the Snaefellsjokull glacier in either of my two visits to the island. Maybe next time, and I wear my new T-shirt.)
I might have to look more into my state's right to be forgotten law. I used PDS for about 2 weeks until no more zombie posts were in my profile (most resurrected by the opening of closed subs). I was cleaning out some gaming book marks and clicked on a reddit thread I'd kept and, lo and behold, I found myself in the comments. Except I'd purged all of those. And searching for myself yields no results. This is...disappointing.

I'd never realized how convenient/natural a joystick is for adjusting your side mirrors. I'm not even sure my wife has the reach to both press a touchscreen in the center console and have her head in driving position to adjust the mirrors with real time feedback. Even I'd hate to have to tweak a mirror while driving with a touchscreen.
