Trump is still an anomaly. It’s been bad, but this is something else entirely. He is simultaneously the dumbest, most evil, and most corrupt President, and it’s not even close.

He commits new acts worse than Watergate multiple times a week.

SV08 Max - the blob was my fault for not watching the first layer.

The US has a gun violence problem, but that’s mostly due to the fact that the US has a general violence problem. If guns were the while problem, then we wouldn’t also have more stabbings than most developed countries.

Always use a glue stick with TPU. It’s used as a release agent, not an adhesive.

Not knowing this, I once printed TPU directlt on my smooth plate and absolutely destroyed it getting the print off.

I have the SV08 Max, and I’m mostly-happy with it. I’m gonna focus on what I don’t like about it since I’m a person on the internet and that’s what we do:

1. They really could’ve provided more profiles with it. Especially for nozzle sizes that aren’t 0.4 since they sell nozzles for it ranging from 0.2 through 1.0
2. They don’t seem to be interested in making a smooth plate, which is annoying.
3. It is a huge PITA to load filament. The automatic feeder stops pushing filament through any time the end of the filament hits a curve in the bowden tube. I wish you could just disable the fucking thing long enough to push new filament to the extruder by hand instead of sitting there for 5 minutes constantly pressing the feed button that moves the filament 1 femtometer at a time.
4. It is really, really loud. Like louder than my 3 other printers and my laser (with exhaust) combined. And I have the enclosed version.
5. The included spool holder should have been designed for 3 or 5kg spools. The machine is designed for giant prints, so should he able to handle large spools by default. But that’s fixed easily enough with a print.
6. The intake and exhaust fans are too close to each other on the enclosure so don’t actually lead to proper air circulation, so the doors have to be left open if you’re printing low-temp filaments like PLA and PETG.

Have you ever tried scanning a book? It’s a huge PITA.

They just cut the binding off so they can be run through a document feeder.

I don’t use it, but I get why it’s important.

How many of us came to Lemmy because reddit blocked the API for our apps?

Its a leftover from legal loopholes that don’t really exist most places anymore.

Open container laws allows DUIs for having an open alcohol container in the car, but if the label was hidden by the big paper bag police didn’t have PC.

Now lots of states have an agreement to submit to breathalyzer tests as a condition of having a driver’s license, so if they see the paper bag they’ll ask you to blow in the tube or revoke your license on the spot.

My understanding of it is that the agreement to submit to a breathalyzer is essentually a contractual agreement with the state as part of the agreement to issue the license. It makes it a civil/administrative issue, meaning you don’t have to be convicted of or even charged with a crime for them to revoke your license over refusing to blow.

I’mstill amazed Tailspin existed. Retrofuturism with sky pirates and the cast of the Jungle Book. It’s an insane, awesome concept.

Those twist ties that come with the new perfume gun you’re trying to open.

That sucks. Yeah - we have those temps in Texas for months at a time, but at least we have air conditioning most places.

It’s also one of the reasons development is so hostile for pedestrians and cyclists here. We design everything around taking air conditioning with us wherever we go, which leads to car-first development.

It was shortly after covid that she went kinda crazy, so I’ve wondered if she had some long-covid issues.

Bibles. There are so many fucking bibles. When I worked for a church we probably had 20 people a year buy a while new set of new bibles for the church. Like - we already had like 3,000 bibles with a weekly attendance of about 500. We didn’t need new bibles, but people just kept giving them to us.

It’s the most-printed book of all time, and they just don’t stop making them. It’s insane.

Had a friend who’s wife started assuming he was cheating or trying to cheat with any other woman in his life. It was very extreme. Like - he once held the door open for a random woman entering a restaurant and she started accusing the woman of being a whore.

He ended up staying with her for a few more years because their daughter was 16 and he didn’t want to end up paying child support, and when they split up the 18yo daughter moved in with him.

I work in the development department of a very small municipality, and am also the GIS department, website dude, and in-house IT.

Our Public Works director didn’t want to learn to browse my maps on the web portal, so he spent like 35 grand on a third-party GIS tool thay was supposed to be super easy - we just had to provide the mapping for it.

He just assumed he could have me build out and maintain an entirely separate GIS system just for him.

He no longer works for the city.

They don’t, which is why they can’t prohibit this satellite. It meets all their requirements regarding radio interference.

The Satellite should absolutely be stopped, but the FCC isn’t the agency to do it.

It’s better.

Cities have to report on their budgets, and spending more taxpayer money replacing cameras the public doesn’t want that are very much in the public eye is something many City Councils won’t want to continue.

For cities where Council is split on the issue, this kind of expense is the kind of thing that may push that last vote over the threshold to cancel the contract.

Flock still makes its money, but their contracts aren’t renewed and the cameras are covered up, so it’s a win overall.
