I had to buy a 2008 car to get these things you listed

I’m thinking William Gibson probably gets it right with the Neuromancer story

what don’t I do… some days… I tell you. My job is Systems Administrator

IMO AI would probably do the job of CEO better than a human. It wouldn’t be as greedy and would be happy with any growth while being humble enough to make decisions that might be personally embarrassing

funny… i expected IT workers to be in that list but we’re not. AI couldn’t do my job but it could be my boss and that frightens me.

oh dear…

Birdcage does set a high water mark, but he had a hard time being public about it so he’s going to need to try harder

the dieing days are here for the first wave of boomers and it’s only going to increase… day by day

im genx and I’m of the opinion that my parents and their generation are the most selfish and most self centered generation in the history of this country. They spoiled their opportunities to do what they thought was right as young people… so some genxrs are also pieces of shit but most people of my generation understand we are a skipped generation and the young people are the future. We are not like our parents that is for sure.

I have had this problem! I just decided to leave it alone and live with the single kernel setup. I have to upgrade someday soon and soo this is a good reminder to make that partition twice as big as it suggests

I am in tech, I am in a union. Its fucking great!

FUCK YOU ICE AND FUCK YOU Senator Blackburn you fucking hack. I mean, you have to earn it when a Chinese puplic offical calls you a lifetime bitch!

The European Union bureau chief for China’s state-owned China Daily, Chen Weihua, responded by tweeting, “This is the most racist and ignorant US Senator I have seen. A lifetime bitch”.

wait until the boomer generation stops using it…

it’s situation dependent for sure but I listen for junk jargon most of the time and then do root cause analysis like questions on it. like trying to find the answers to asking why to everything they say. why does it work like that? Does it support xyz? why? why… . Gotta do it right so your coworkers are in on it. there’s a uncomfortable laugh when you know you hit the mark.

As a System Admin, I totally feel this. I fucking hate vendors and their bullshit marketing. In generally during the times that I have to deal, I will usually hear them out. But if the rep is annoying I will start the Q&A with questions that are designed to destroy their presentations or expose how little they know about their products. Good sales reps know how to react but bad ones just dig it in deeper and it becomes a show.

Good answer!

I remarked to my wife the other day that I think THC is the greatest assistant chemical that a plant ever generated. Hell, cannabis/hemp might be the first plant grown on Mars because its science is so understood and predictable (because of the abuse/enjoyment of it). Only coffee and caffeine could say the same, but whole cultures have not tried to eradicate coffee trees.

I hadn’t watched it till now… yuck!

but probably something anyone that wants to talk about this should see

but it got me thinking, I think the shooter was aiming for his mouth and the drift made the shot hit a little lower

you might want to check how tight the filament is before it goes into the system, like it was a popular trend to find a way to get your spools on bearings instead of free spinning, as that extra tension goes a long way to create problems.

Good luck, hope you can fix it without having to tear down the whole print head

It depends on the filament you use but if you are using brass nozzles, best to get use to replacing them periodicly. Just look at thingaverse or the prusa site for nozzle assessories and look at how people make cases for multiples sizes and numbers of nozzles. IDK what kind of quality that FlashForge has but its pretty typical to wear out the nozzle (just maybe not as fast as you are experiencing)

but you might be having problems with the preloading or the tension on the filament feeding gear. IDK the method that your printer uses but I had similar problems with my PRUSA until I replaced the Hotend PTFE tube. Those will also wear out so get a few if your printer uses that feeding system

I just can’t get past the first part… JFC you created this mess yourself!

I loved Klarna’s pay-later option. Especially in the weeks before Christmas, when expenses add up, it was encouraging to be able to order gifts and outfits for New Year’s without having to pay for them until the holiday madness was over.
