It was around the time SciFi was becoming dark and moody (i.e. BattleStar Galactica and stuff). This just kind of followed the formula.

It’s funny because after watching the series a few times, now I think it’s the movie that was badly cast.

Oh look. The Russian agents are openly operating in the US now and killing US citizens they deem enemies.

Did she fall out of a window or get unexplained radiation poisoning?

i think they will probably be safe. Trump is in the pocket of tech billionaires and they need cheap labor.

All the Youtubers Bambu sponsors are like, “I was terrified of 3D printing. Wasn’t that something only nerds do? Then Bambu sent me a free 3D printer and several hundred dollars and I’m telling you guys, you don’t even need a brain to use it!!!”

Jokes on them. If they replace everyone’s job with AI there will be a whole lot of unemployed people with nothing better to do other than build guillotines.

I misread this as you have a heater in your bed (the one you sleep in) and you dry your filament in bed.

It’s alright. Had a shitty past few weeks but that helped me come to the realization that I was caring too much about work. I’m naturally a self-motivated person and have a desire to do well and improve whatever company I’m with. This leads me to becoming too emotionally invested in my work.

I realized (yet again) that my company doesn’t deserve my best and they don’t appreciate it so stop giving it to them. I’m more checked out at work but generally more happy.

“Self-host” is just a euphemism for “pirate” right? …Right?

I’ll have to give that a whirl also, thanks!

I got too used to Fusion 360 and now I’m stuck with it since I can make stuff fast, easy, and parameterized with full change history and it’s too much effort to learn something new to replace my workflow. Also its the CAM software for my CNC.

I’ll probably play around with SCAD/Build123d though for fun.

I just got yelled at for being proactive at work and working on stuff in my downtime to complete something before our estimate and improve our product. Apparently that’s a big no-no. You’re not supposed to ever finish before the estimate you give nor finish past the estimate. You must work the exact amount of time that was estimated. This wasn’t even my estimate. I have a much faster estimate and my boss basically doubled it, which I was like fine, sure, but I’m getting blamed for the estimate being so long now.

I’m so done with my job. If the job market weren’t a literal dumpster fire right now I’d just leave. I just set my LinkedIn to “Open to Work”. Sorry I have a good work ethic. Corporate politics is utter bullshit. I guess the lesson learned is don’t ever tell anyone you are being proactive. Finish the work, and then literally do fuck all, and fuck off to wherever while you pretend you are working until the estimate date is reached.

Also i guess i can’t say I’m the “only one” since 90% of people don’t do this but you only remember the ones that do I guess.

PLA worked fine. I just bought and loaded some new PETG btw and it prints pretty well so I think everyone is right that the filament is just really old/wet.

Threw 80 bucks out to get a dryer.

Yeah sounds like I may have to invest in a dryer then.

I’m using an Orca profile for the Snapmaker printer but other than that I’m not sure. Kind of just trusting they set that part up correctly.

240. I live in the PNW but I keep my filament in dry boxes. I’ve never dried my filament.

I have never dried it before, no.

It’s a few months old. I have printed with it before and while it was never perfect it was never this bad. I’ll have to get back to you on a temp tower. I have one around somewhere.

It’s somewhat old but I keep them in dry boxes with silica beads and a hygrometer. The humidity never increased past 20% I believe. Usually stays around 15%.
