  • I also thought I'd miss Hulu and Netflix a lot more than I do. What used to irk me so badly was how utterly shit Netflix is when you just want to sit down and find something new to watch. Their front page would be list after list of things like "Hot New Comedies" "Best Independent Films of 2025", "Classic Action Flicks" and somehow it always felt like the same 30 or 40 movies randomly shuffled together. So I'd spend 15 minutes scrolling through the same slop in different orders, get frustrated and search for a movie that I remembered wanting to watch, only to find that it was on none of the services I was subscribed to, and cost $8.99 for a single watch of a 20 year old movie.

    We had been Netflix subscribers since the very start when they delivered discs through the mail. Kinda sad how they went from having virtually anything you could think of to watch (and having a halfway decent recommendation algorithm to boot!) to where they are today.

  • It sounds super obvious, but i never thought to cook hasbrowns in the bacon grease... Mostly because I'm fully converted to making bacon in the oven these days.

    Definitely going to give this a whirl next time we're doing breakfast.

  • That is equal parts terrifying and cool as fuck!

  • What a nasty question!

  • I didn't get it til another poster pointed it out -- instead of the kid eating the marshmallow, the marshmallow is biting the kid's arm.

    I glanced over the comic a couple times, and each time I saw the kid tossing the marshmallow in the air as if to catch it in his mouth.

  • Whorf

    I think I think i read that fanfic back in the 90s.... co-starring Long-Luc Dickhard and Chestly Crushher?

  • You will actually get some hardcore libertarians unironically making the argument that regulations are completely unnecessary as long as you have a strong court system to award damages in the event that harm is actually done to an individual.

    Which, sure, in a frictionless, spherical universe full of perfectly rational actors that exists only in a textbook, maybe that argument has some merit.

    In the real world it means arguing that disfiguring people or giving them horrific terminal cancer should just be a line item on your ledger, next to rent and breakroom coffee.

  • I just searched it a bit, and I think you're right. I was thinking the paid tier only let you use port forwarding and access their servers optimized for P2P traffic, but it sounds like they actually block P2P traffic on the free tier.

    My bad!

  • Technically you can torrent with it, but the free tier does not include port forwarding, so you will not be able to seed very effectively.

    Edit: disregard, I was remembering incorrectly.

  • If people don't want these things in their air, why don't they just vote with their wallets and NOT BUY products that create these byproducts, or move to a place that better suits their snowflake-lungs?

    Worst case, if you develop cancer after 5 years of exposure, you can exercise your right to sue the company for damages and be made whole again.

    We don't need government hamstringing industry when the free market can sort these things out!

    /s (because who the fuck knows these days)

  • I don't want to be an alarmist

    But in that harmacy there's a harmacist!

  • Have you looked into Remote Path mappings? I have not had to employ this myself, but my understanding is this allows you to avoid file duplication when your *arr and torrent client are using different filesystems.

    Maybe I'm mis-remembering though...

  • Maybe a dumb question, but have you enabled port forwarding in your torrent client and ensured that the VPN server you are connected to allows port forwarding? Proton has decent documentation on how to do this, but it's not obvious if you didnt already know you needed port forwarding.

    This had me tripped up for nearly a full year after I got back into torrenting.

  • Exactly, if you prevent crime in the first place, there's no criminals to be tough on.

    Conservatives don't want to actually prevent crime, they just want to be able to loudly and visibly abuse and imprison an out-group.

  • True... but i mean lasers are cooler by virtue of being lasers. 😁

    Personally, I'd be worried about subjecting the printer to the lateral forces and torques a knife would put on a printer that was never designed to contact the workpiece, if you ever wanted to use it for FDM printing again. But maybe that would be a good project for a printer that was already beat up a bit.

  • Since you mention the Ender 3, mine came bundled with a laser cutter attachment. I have never actually gotten around to using it, so I can't offer much other than to say that such an official accessory does exist and might be less of a hassle than some of the DIY options you are considering.

  • Thats true, and a good point.

    But as long as you go straight from the original packaging to your dry box, you shouldn't have to worry much about it ever getting wet to begin with.

  • There are probably cheaper bulk options--but I personally bought some 50g satchets that change color when they start to saturate, for convenience. 3 of those keep a large bin dry for a few months depending on ambient humidity and how often you open it.

  • It's crazy easy too. You can get a decent size plasric tote with weatherproof gasket for about $15-20, and a few packs of reusable dessicant packs will.run another $10-15.

    For about $30 all in you can keep 6-8 rolls of filament below 10%RH full time with zero hassle.
