Everyone is bracing for the economic free fall that is going to be the next 5 years. We are still at the upper end and it’s only going to get worse under this administration.
So, I have no doubt that people just aren’t spending money on the kinds of things that they were even just last year. I wish I had something better to tell you, but it is going to be a while before we see people having the money to spend on custom designing anything. As the previous poster pointed out, you need to either decide to get rid of stuff and then sell it like you want it gone, or accept that now it is just a hobby that basically paid for itself.

There will come a time when your AI girlfriend’s context window fills up and its responses become increasingly unhinged and nonsensical.

Wait… So I have already been dating AIs and the didn’t even know it? This explains a lot.

“Sorry, my butt called you.”

That’s good stuff, I was just coming in here to find out if everyone just happened to have been bitten by a werewolf back in the day, but I didn’t even think of Werewolves of London.

Nice face pubes, dickhead!

I now have a new insult ready and loaded.

Seriously, 98 was just the third addition of 95, it wasn’t really some big thing of its own.

That sucks.
Is your cpap a unit like the resmed where the water tank can be removed and not used? The reason I ask is because I am curious if you can hook it up without the water tank and let it run for longer than 10 minutes without you wearing it and then check to see if you still smell the burnt plastic? That would at least let you narrow it down to whether it’s a water tank issue or something in the head unit.

Take it apart and wash everything. I literally just finished replacing the motor on my ResMed S9. It has 8 allen head screws in total, and they were all the same size. I used an allen wrench that came with my 3D printer, it’s not marked but measures 2 mm across. It took me less than 10 minutes to get it apart. This guy has a pretty nice breakdown.

Everything except for the main board, SD card, and motor can be washed with dish soap in your sink.

I’ve taken apart a couple others and they were pretty simple too, so I willing to bet that you can find a tear down video on pretty much all of them out there.

Make sure to wash the water tank really well and wipe it’s inside down. Mini cpaps coat there water tanks with a bittering agent that stinks when you run out of water. So just be sure and never to let it run out of water, or turn off your water function.

Just print the cover and wrap any existing book.

Right next to “Lowering your expectations when raising an ugly child.”

That’s ok, it will still come out wrong because of some issue that you never thought of.

This is why people share their models so freely online. It’s not pride in what they’ve accomplished. It’s because they’ve just spent 3 weeks and $60 in plastic to finally “correctly” print something that cost the original manufacturer $0.15 to print and would have worked perfectly if they had just stopped cutting corners when they got to $0.17, but saving that extra $0.02 per item made sure that it was definitely going to fail.
And by sharing it you pass the curse onto others and enable yourself to finally produce a print that is still totally fucked but just good enough that you are willing to call it done and start the cycle over with something else.

It hums the notes to the company jingle every time you orgasm.

For us older folk, and unfortunately, also for some younger folk that grew up in more “conservative” small towns, borrowing and fancy math trickery was the work of the devil.
We were required to memorize the addition tables as well as the multiplication tables. And even then, addition could be done on your fingers and toes so as long as you could add the big numbers like 8 & 7 together faster than the really slow kid could take off his shoes and work it the hard way, you were considered proficient at addition.
So ya, there’s a wide swath of America that just sucks at basic math.

People also understand degrees of meaning and hyperbole. The fact that you seem to think that my response was a comeback shows exactly why you are struggling with this entire argument.

Every time I go to the park, I’m able to knock balls right out the park with my favorite bat. Am I more likely to get a career in major league baseball or arrested for animal cruelty?
Your argument is on par with arguing that because you saw an article about people playing base that you think we should arrest everyone in the stadium for animal cruelty.

If your results are different, then by definition what you did was not exactly the same.

I spent my entire teen years and a good portion of my 20s pounding it daily, often multiple times a day.

That’s why I started smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol at 12yrs old, to stunt my growth as much as possible. And now that I am an adult and 6’3", i thank God I did it, imagine how huge I would have gotten otherwise. So now I should have plenty of vein to spare.

Of course they do, that’s exactly what the billionaires are paying for. Those highly paid PR teams have this shit down to a science.

Oh look, it’s Twitter O’Clock.
