  • You know, I hadn’t considered that. You’re immortal and so is everyone else. Do you even bother trying to enforce laws? Anyone put in jail is going to wake up back in their own bed. Anyone in jail is going to do whatever they can to escape. I suppose the guards aren’t going to show up for work. In fact, nobody is going to go do their jobs. Why would you choose to slog it out when you could do anything? Power companies will go dark, and public transit will disappear. Telecoms would stop working and anything that isn’t automated will just go away.

    I suppose the early morning hours would be a mad dash for resources and weapons. Anyone unfortunate enough to sleep in that day would wake up to a world gripped in chaos every single day. Late nights would be either a wild party or extremely lonely.

    But with the reset, things wouldn’t fall into disrepair. People who want to restore power and communications go just go and turn those back on. Money would be meaningless, so it would just be civic pride and boredom that brings the world back from chaos.

    Sex wouldn’t mean much. Anyone giving birth that day would probably get weird. Anyone suffering from terminal illnesses would probably secure some great drugs and numb the pain as much as possible.

    We would create a lot of performance art. Music, plays, creative storytelling, everyone would have time to create and consume.

    Physical art would be almost nonexistent. You couldn’t work on a painting or statue, and anything you create would be gone by the next day.




  • Everyone grieves differently. Some people want to talk about it, others want to be distracted from it. Only bring it up if you think she’s in a sharing mood, and let her drive the conversation.

    You could say something like, “I know it must be difficult right now, but if you want to talk, I’m here for you.”

    If she does want to talk, you could ask questions like “What was she like?” People like remembering good times if they can, and it can help them process the loss. But also, some people really don’t want to do that with coworkers. Be prepared for either, and don’t take it personally if she doesn’t want to share.



  • I am mostly happy with my gaming performance.

    That’s the only benchmark you need, friend.

    The 1151 socket is only compatible through 9th gen. I doubt you’d see a performance leap from a compatible socket upgrade, and if you’re getting a new mobo, you might as well upgrade the RAM, and now your GPU is the bottleneck, plus you better make sure you have adequate power for it all. Congratulations, you bought a whole new computer.

    Intel has gone out of their way to make it harder to upgrade components. You should save up to buy a whole new system when you are no longer happy with your current performance.



  • I have zero experience with this, but just thinking logistically, it doesn’t seem like something that will work. Wiring it up is one thing, but it’s another thing entirely to add the control commands to the slicer.

    I suppose you could manually pause the print, retract filament 1, swap the control cable (or wire it to a switch) to Extruder 2, and resume the print. Essentially it saves half a step in swapping filaments mid-print, but it would still be printing a single color per layer.
