 It'd probably be faster if I walked my laptop across the room and plugged it into the router, but  I dig the symmetrical up/down though.

After years of insisting that 3D printers are garbage, I finally got one. I think it's a Monoprice Make Select Plus -- it was $50 from a guy on Craigslist who couldn't figure out how to use it. I think I'm the third owner. Haven't dug into it yet, but I'll clean and lube it tomorrow and see if I can't make it move under its own power. A friend of mine's only comment was "Be careful I hear they catch fire". 3D printers are still garbage, but considering I paid $50 I can walk away from it if it proves being too much of a headache ... and maybe pay real money for a Prusa Mini

Ranzear posted:There are better benchmark/troubleshooting prints than Benchy, particularly because even the cheapest printers should have no issue with its overhangs anymore. It's just a meme these days. This was a cheap printer in 2017. It moves and extrudes, but my settings in Cura are way off. Benchy is still a challenge.

I found myself asking if the random rolls of filament that came with the thing were actually PLA. The answer was no -- it was 3D pen filament that melts around 100c as opposed to 200c.

slidebite posted:I like the idea of a bidet, but I do not like the idea of icy cold tap water I wasn't able to plumb mine in to the hot water, so it's cold-only for me. It's bracing and surprising at first, but once you're used to it it's quite refreshing

My last company was a very small startup. I was the 4th hire, and we grew to 40ish people before I left. For the last ~year of my employ there, I told them time and again that they needed someone to focus on their infrastructure, and I volunteered to be that person. In January, for a number of reasons, I left. It's vindicating to see that they've finally posted a job opening for Devops Manager. I considered applying as a joke, but it's not worth the effort. In other news, I'm really enjoying this used 3D printer I got. I put Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi I had kicking around, and I'm having a lot of fun just letting it do its thing on the shelf near my desk. Now I need to model a spice rack for the kitchen to justify the space it takes up.

TEMs are only free because they're gigantic and a pain in the rear end to set up and use (I should know. I once got a free TEM). People who would buy used electron microscopes actually want SEMs. Those are the ones that, like, let you look at a fruitfly's armpits.

Will post a pic tomorrow! 24.5mm seems likely. 31.8mm is the other likely candidate -- it's more common in adult road bikes and mountain bikes, but my bike has a 25.4mm bar.

I crashed a motorcycle in 2011 and again in 2014 and that left me with collapsed joints in my left ankle. I dealt with it until this year, saw a surgeon, and we're planning to fuse my left ankle joint literlaly next week, setting me up for three months of recovery. That'd be all well and good, only my *right* foot decided it wasn't getting enough love and now it's dizzyingly painful trying to bear any weight on it. Teledoc thinks it's just tendinitis that's going to resolve itself, but I can't take anything stronger than tylenol because the plan is that I'm still getting surgery next week. it sucks. I want to walk, not have both feet out of commission. There's a ton of stuff I want to do around the house to get ready for surgery, but I can't even do dishes like this. It's terribly frustrating.

MomJeans420 posted:I doubt you're dumb if you made it through life this far, I wouldn't put a lot of stock in evaluations from a long time ago. I'm pretty sure any psych evaluation I would have had when I was 10 would be A LOT different than one now. And FWIW, I've seen less intelligent people who are disciplined and work hard do a lot better in life than smart but unfocused and lazy people. Brothers are well regarded, as are HP's nowadays. I wound up with an HP color laser because I'm a precious snowflake and want my printouts duplexed and in color

Safety Dance posted:pain My right foot was swollen like a balloon last night and I couldn't walk. Doctor friend told me to take 4 ibuprofen every 6 hours a total of four times. Now my foot is deflated, but it feels super bruised. I can walk around my apartment though, so that's good!
