There have been several. I think mostly all little things. Someone not making you fish for the last bit of change for a purchase. An rare cup of coffee. One somewhat recent one was I went to grab food at an ethnic restaurant. Real basic place, not a chain. After I’d ordered and they were handing me the food to go, I realized I’d left my debit card behind. I only had $5 on me. He must’ve seen the surprise on my face. Dude behind the counter was “Just take the food, don’t worry about it.” I was really surprised. I tried to refuse the food, it wasn’t like I couldn’t find some cash, but he insisted. So I gave plenty of thanks, took the food, and made myself a promise that I’d pay it back and then some if I could. Funny thing, I used to go to the city the restaurant was in probably every other month or so for work. Never been back for years.

Edit: Just took a quick look and it looks like the place is closed. Shit. Really wanted to pay the guy back.

I feel like there’s a bunch of choosing beggars in here. Grabbed a crapload of free games, games they didn’t pay for, and complaining about how they’re delivered.

And if they watch liberal or spanish-language programming.

Absolutely. Like daddy, they’ve gotten away with everything except being the face of their little mafia. When the fat orange Don is gone, they figure they’ll just step up and keep doing what they’ve always done.

You are not responsible. Even if you argued with someone, you couldn’t have known what the outcome would be. Heart attack or they spent a bunch of time pissed and got in a fistfight later that resulted in someone’s death. You cannot control what they choose to do as long as your actions weren’t intentionally leading the other person to make those choices.

I would check that the print bed is heating evenly. Everyone has mentioned cleaning, that’s definitely a good start, too. But it looks like bands where it’s not sticking. From the image’s perspective, about 1/3 up is a band of poor adhesion, and then at the far end of the plate. IDK how the heating elements are designed, but that could be a. Issue. Otherwise the build plate is warped in almost an “S” shape. Some leveling will help, but not fix a warped bed.

Also, the material deposition looks very thin in general. Make sure the z-step is set correctly, slow down the first layer print, and make sure the temperatures of the bed and hotend are right.

I have an older printer with a warped bed and basically brute force the adhesion with a slightly thicker base layer and then normal layers after that.

They’re not wrong. It’s mired in legal BS. Lawyers saw deep pockets and NIMBYS, and are dragging their feet through the courts and are making free money while costing taxpayers multiple of millions.

But one thing they don’t seem to have is enough.

So perversely chatbots are increasing people’s vocabulary because people read so few books anymore and most of their word usage comes from what they read online?

Should be a full stop with “profit”. All the shitty things that go with companies chasing it.

Because squeezing the workers while doing more causes the line to go up faster than just doing more with added overhead costs. They cannot think past quarterly reports.

Assume whatever makes you feel better.

Yep. It was headed downhill with the bots, reposts, karma farmers, hive-mind, troll farms, and of course the reddit c-suite “purging” the site of things like WPD, morbid reality, spacedicks (yeah, not subs for everyone, but noetheless…not hurting anyone), getting rid of Victoria, getting rid of mods and leaving petty power mongers and sycophants in place, and allowing shit like The_Donald and similar subs to run unchecked. The forced commercialization, crushing of protest and reddit app was the final straw.

Thank you. That would be lovely. I find LED’s flicker sometimes and are too “hard”, they lack the softer, more yellow profile of incandescents.

Probably what his rant is all about.

Anyone care to sum up in a few sentences what this 20+ minute video is all about?

E: fucking lemmy, lol. Don’t watch youtube! Google sucks! Use alternatives! /asks for a quick summary so as to avoid youtube: lemmy: “Downvote!1!1”

This country never ceases to amaze me with how shitty they can be and sweep it under the rug.

Guess Forrest Gump and Benjamin Buford Blue could potentially be examples of the program even if it wasn’t part of the film.

Edit: a quick look says that yes indeed, our movie characters were part of Project 100,000.

Water does have tastes. Hard to believe others don‘t notice it.

I‘ve got this one too. It smells like dry hay or straw to me.

Just ask for more tax breaks. poof Problem gone.

And LLM’s aren’t gamed? Like Grok constantly being tweaked to not say anything inconvenient about Musk? Or ChatGPT citing absurd Reddit posts deliberately made by users to make AI responses wrong?

AI is built from the ground up to do what they want, and they’re no better than those crappy info-scraper sites like wearethewindoezproz dot com that scrape basic info off every other site and offer it as a solution to your problem with [SOLVED] in the result title. “Did you turn it off and on again?”
