@kodi I'm told I'll seem more like a real person if I put something here And that will make it less likely that I'll get blocked But then I think about how strong the desire not to be perceived is And I wonder why I'd want to avoid being blocked

and each of rapa and oleracea are determined to entirely fill that domain.

And there's a huge overlap in phenotypes between the two species, as well! Like there are some rapa cultivars that can look and taste very much like broccoli - even though a lot of oleracea cultivars DON'T look or taste like broccoli. It's like there's this giant domain of "what brassica is like"...

If the screenshot doesn't include alt text with the names of all the people quoted or mentioned in the screenshot so my mute rules will work, Kiefer Sutherland will hunt the offender for sport.

Going to go out dressed as Goofy and Pluto just to cause another entire layer of discourse.

Chris @kodiak.app · 13h

I'm pretty sure the discussion was literally just you waving your dick around.

I have this thing where I ask myself "what is the best outcome I can hope for here?" and if it's the same outcome I can obtain by doing nothing, I do nothing.

For example, here the best outcome is "no one dies and I do not go to jail." Easily accomplished without a laser! Done.

This is awesome, but also I love how it kind of sounds like you were deliberately hiding from them to increase their anticipation.

My understanding growing up was that you could be Jewish, Christian, or Catholic and whichever one you were meant you had to hate the other two. (I had one Christian parent and one Catholic parent, so I assumed there was some sort of Romeo and Juliet thing there. We were not very religious.)

I'm so glad that I saw this movie three times before learning about how much some people hate her performance. Her performance feels so real to me, and the movie wouldn't make sense without it.

My Cousin Vinny would read a lot less sympathetic if the person making all the gaffes were a career prosecutor, I'm learning.

At *worst* your response should be "I'm not sure if this is OK but they're not going to lose THEIR law license so I'm going to shut it down while I check."

BUT ALSO when you DO Continue Watching, it must be possible to navigate directly to the previous episode of the show when you realize that you fell asleep and it kept playing, rather than having to back out and go to search.

If you write phone apps, you get the same thing only instead of "great life story" it's "idea for an app." Hilariously, it is generally REMARKABLY easy to get these people to spill the beans on their incredibly valuable idea without ever committing to anything.

Or if you decide you hate it, it shouldn't be hard to unload the A1 and recoup some of the cost.

Easiest to get a printer that's easy to use and give it some very forgiving filament to start with, and learn from there. Even if you decide to add a more expensive printer later, there will still be times that the A1 mini cuts your print time in half because you can use it for small pieces...

I would definitely start by getting a Bambu A1 mini with a spool or two of Bambu-made PLA and a spool or two of Bambu-made PETG. The Bambu software is EXTREMELY plug-and-play for a lot of things; there's a learning curve to printing and there's a learning curve to designing models...

Chris @kodiak.app · 2d

Mostly what I've seen is that stuff that starts out low-quality gets much worse when it gets wet, but good filament is a lot more resilient.

Chris @kodiak.app · 2d

Yeah, mine is Comgrow, apparently, it was just whatever happened to have a discount on it at the time. I mostly just keep my PLA in a closet, and some of it still prints without a problem, but if it does something weird I dry it out and try again...

Chris @kodiak.app · 2d

It's mostly recoverable as long as you have 8 hours to dry it out before you start your print. My drier has a hole in the top so I can print right out of the drier.

"The problem with billionaires isn't..."

My dude, if the past six years have taught us ANYTHING, it is that it is entirely possible for there to be MORE THAN ONE PROBLEM.

Like, I never actually saw Tron, but I was still nostalgic for it because I spent so much time playing the games.
