  • Would you rather go though zombie-like apocalypses or sever economic downturn with political instability?

    Jump

  • Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock.

    Jump

  • Still pretty common today.

  • We are way overdue for an open source 2d printer

    Jump

  • US patents expire after 20 years.

  • Who among us hasn't heard the tale of Borble a thousand times?

    Jump

  • I was looking through some old vinyl in a store yesterday and found an album from the 50s or 60s called Songs Everybody Knows and I didn't recognize a single song on the list.

  • The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great?

    Jump

  • Knowing the localization and the interaction of everything with each other would have helped me a lot and certainly saved time.

    I guess this is the disconnect. I've assembled one, but I don't feel like assembling one necessarily conveys this. The instructions just tell you which part to attach to which other part. It doesn't explain why much of it is important or how it functions.

    The other difference is that I haven't upgraded any. I have some MK3S+ printers that I are likely to remain that way since the upgrades are so expensive and the process so laborious.

    For personal use, I'm waiting on the CORE One from Printed Solid but it's only available for education, government, etc at the moment.

  • I'd actually recommend the opposite. Unless you're a DIY hobbyist who loves taking everything apart and you don't want to print immediately upon receiving it, it's worth it to buy the prebuilt Prusa. There are so many many steps in assembling a MK4S that there are that many steps to get something wrong. Better pay a few hundred extra to get one that has been assembled by a more experienced person. And I say that as a makerspace coordinator who works with a lot of 3D printers.

    Assembly teaches you how incredibly complicated the assembly is. I've adjusted pre-assembled printers with minor inconvenience. But the first one you put together can take more than the estimated 6-8 hours.

  • I tried, but I just can't go back and play Oblivion after playing Skyrim with all the quality of life mods. I'm waiting on the Skyblivion release to revisit it.

  • Because "reasons"

    Jump

  • Hollywood producers: "13 pages, you say? That's enough for a new trilogy!"

  • The last time anyone asked you to give advice on who the asshole was in a conflict they were in with someone else, what ended up being the giveaway or tiebreaker that led to you coming to your answer?

    Jump

  • It's too vague a question to answer easily. I'd need specific scenarios because the tell and the tipping point might be different in different scenarios. There might be a pattern, but you'd only see it with multiple scenarios about the same person, and even then, there might be some details you're not privy to that would otherwise change your perspective. It's also entirely possible for a person to be right some of the time, but to fight regardless of whether they are or not.

  • How long have you been hearing the phrase "we're in the end times"?

    Jump

  • A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?

    Jump

  • Could I cut up my wish into just wiping parts of a few songs? Like the march tune from Tears of a Clown, the electronic watch alarm in Rock the Casbah, and the chopsticks part of Blinded by the Light.

  • There’s a Big Ol’ Timeline Retcon in Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers!)

    Jump

  • Logan was always killed by Eastasia.

    Jump

  • 35-40 You realize you've spent so much time trying to level up that you haven't done any of the fun quests and crafting you really wanted to do, so you start focusing on those.

    40-45 You look around and realize you've somehow managed to accrue skills and experience and loot and feel cringingly compelled to give advice to other players who are newer to the game. "When I was your level..."

  • What's going on in the other timelines today?

    Jump

  • World President Crypto-GPT 19 issues emergency executive order 00101010101111010101010001010010110101010010010 to secure additional processors in the build up to the anticipated war with the invading Zerkanods who purge planets that elect AGI governments. Secretary of Human Affairs Clippy entertains the human populace with a scripted meme war on brain phone social media platforms against recently uplifted Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa.

  • Is the golden rule really good?

    Jump

  • The problem with the golden rule is that different people want to be treated differently, so they may treat you how they want to be treated but not how you want to be treated, and vice versa.

    Maybe when you're struggling with an issue, you want to be left alone to figure it out by yourself, but your friend in the same scenario would want someone to start doing anything to help out and insisting on troubleshooting the issue together. So your friend ends up frustrating you by offering to help too much when you just want to be left alone and then when they're struggling, they get upset that you leave them alone to deal with it.

    So communication is important. Ask people how they'd like to be treated rather than just assuming they'd want to be treated the way you want to be treated and be honest with them about how you'd like to be treated.

  • There are a lot of hobbies you can get into that can be started with little or not cost, or with equipment/materials you already own.

    Figure out what interests you and see what can be done inexpensively.

    With a phone or computer, there's writing, music, programming, learning new skills, Wikipedia, Pinterest, et al. Maybe take your phone and start photographing stuff in your area that interests you.

    Find someone who has experience in an area you're interested in. People tend to like to talk about their hobbies and interests and they can tell you how easy or difficult it is to get started. They might even be able to help you get started.

    Maybe find a volunteer opportunity that helps pad your resume. Like animals? Volunteer at a local shelter.

    There are a bunch of job certifications you can train for online that can also help build your resume.

  • Nice try, HR.
