What information has come out that makes you say the last paragraph? I’m not doubting it’s validity in the slightest (I don’t think this guy is exactly an infallible source of wisdom), just haven’t seen a lot directly from him that would flesh his views out that much.

My understanding is that initial reports just stated that he was reported inside a McDonald’s, and lots of people and articles assumed it was a customer. But every recent article I’ve seen states it was an employee. At this point it could be either one, but from what I can see, I think it was an employee.

It was not a customer that reported him. It was an employee. Your misinformation is probably not appreciated by the person you’re pretending to be concerned about.

By watching the whole video and reading the linked article, you learned that the man you’re screenshotting and mirroring isn’t the person you think he is, right?

I’d be keeping my head down if I was him.

You say this, but you’re posting articles with a video of him, falsely stating that he’s the one the made the report, when if you watch the video it’s pretty clear he was not. You really should edit this comment and your parent one if you are concerned about this completely innocent person’s well-being.

I’m sorry you got a rough rub, man. I’m heading in a similar direction (moved out at 17, now late 20s working a dead end job to barely afford bills and halfway trying to go to school) and yeah, shits depressing, especially when you have friends that had similar interests and skills as you that were able to make something out of them (my friend who’s floor I slept on the last year of highschool is now a literal rocket scientist).

Just remember, we’re never truly worthless! So long as we keep clocking in every day, we have immense value to our employers. And what more could a person ask for.

Apparently (some/most) auto sunroofs work in a similar way

That’s how your normal automatic car windows work, too.

And I don’t want to live where you live where anthills are more formidable than my shoe 😅

Not at all, just like we don’t recognize or care for the hundreds of ants and anthills we destroy in every step. It doesn’t have to care about you to squish you

Oh no no, my friend. If the wealthy being gunned down results in gun control, it won’t be for them. There will be some kind of exemption for private security that will be extremely expensive to get. Those wealthy enough will be able to find ways of sourcing their own if they want one. We’d be the ones without guns in that scenario.

and this can result in data loss.

And computer loss.

And house loss.

It’s mostly irrelevant to your point, but I’m pretty sure the second one at his golf course was an unrelated shooting where someone else got shot. I guess it could be a cover story where they shot the attacker and didn’t want to make it seem like a trend for the media, but I don’t think we have any confirmation that the was indeed a second attempt

Shit, next you’re gonna tell me Vulcans aren’t real.

I actually have a good amount of experience with this exact type of thing.

Fanciest, nicest, easiest, most expensive method will be to buy filament in desired colors.

Slightly cheaper option, print them all in one color (preferably white), get cans of spray paint in whatever colors you need plus a clear topcoat (I’d recommend matte or satin for game pieces), paint and top coat them

Cheapest option, get one can of white spray paint and a variety pack of cheapo craft acrylic paint (you can probably find a 10 pack for $5), base coat white, use a sponge brush with the acrylic paint (you’ll need a few layers), then finish with top coat. Most time consuming and outcome will depend on how many layers you feel like doing.

If I didn’t already have a rainbow of different filament colors for this exact scenario, I would go with the third option. You can layer them up until you’re satisfied with the quality, and white base coat is always good to have.

Interesting. I always assumed it was because the pcie slots were below the CPU, and the protocol was designed to avoid dumping hot GPU exhaust air into the CPU heatsink. Shame that BTX never went anywhere, but makes sense given the established market for ATX-variant cases.

When you’re using push-to-talk in a voice chat lobby, and someone tells a really funny joke. Do y’all mic up so the homie knows you think they’re funny? Especially in lobbies where everyone is using PTT it can be really awkward when someone tells a joke, there’s silence for a second or two (while everyone laughs off-mic) and then one person meekishly keys up with a “heheheh”

Bro cringe.

All very good points. I think if I want to continue entertaining this idea I need to adjust my sights to a more general number than anything exact. Another user pointed out that time spent testing vs time saved would be a pretty close cut. I might devise a test to find a general minimum, increase it by a fair margin, and call it close enough.

Time saved vs used is a pretty good argument against.

My previous printer (Anycubic Mono 6k) allowed you to change lift height and speed on the printer during a print, so I could just lower it until just above hearing the separation. My current printer (Saturn 3) doesn’t have this capability, so it would have to be multiple prints, which would take a couple hours.

What might be a better solution, is to do a similar test, again with “worst case scenario” (ie a cup with no suction cup release hole, or a very small one), increase the result by a large margin of error, and go with that until I need to replace the FEP or prints start failing.

Dunno why they don’t have a sugar option.

That would also be the “worst hangover imaginable” option.

The orange ones are liquid sex.
