  • Then why do we use them on our assholes?

    The epithelial cells keep reproducing, so any cells your tear off while wiping gets replaced.

    But I still concur: it’s 2025, we sent people to the moon almost 60 years ago, we built a world wide computer network, and I can watch porn on a little plastic rectangle, using wireless headphones, so nobody notices that I’m jerking off on the bus (ok, that last part isn’t true, they definitely did notice, and I’m not allowed to drive the school bus anymore /s) … still though, we’ve come so far, and we’re still wiping our asses with dried tree mush? Wtf? At least we’re not using the toilet brush like the Romans, but how about we tried something other than scraping feces from our skin? Maybe a build in bidet? I have never found them in the wild, but when I do, I can guarantee that I’m trying out the warm water and blow dryer options… Maybe while using my wireless headphones and plastic rectangle ;-)

    Are we stupid? (don’t answer that)

    Yes (sorry, too stupid to understand rhetorical questions)



  • First rule of PETG-club is “dry your filament”, second rule of PETG-club is “dry your filament”… Thrid rule? Nope, it’s “store your filament dry”

    Jokes aside, other things you could look at:

    • nozzle, how worn is it?
    • calibration tests: did you do a temp tower? Calibration cube? Retraction test?
    • The vertical surface doesn’t necessarily have that appearance as a result of wet filament. In my experience, wet PETG will result in more random variations than that. It looks too regular IMHO, is everything that should be tightened actually tightened?
    • have you calibrated the extruder steps?

    [a] Fork That Promises Better Features

    Have they released anything yet? Or are we at the project stage, where they’re yelling at their CLI confused about git?

    Promises are cheap, releases matter. I mean I could announce a project called Betterfox, promising to bring better features to a well-known browser. But in reality I’m by myself, overly ambitious, and going to leave the github page abandoned after the initial commit.
