I had weird stuff like that start to happen with my BL Touch. Turns out the bracket I’d printed had started to crack in a hard to see spot, so every bed mesh I took was a little different. Am ordering a metal bracket to replace it.

If they find your coded diary, they are just going to torture you until you reveal how to decipher it if they have even a remote reason to suspect you. Everyone thinks they’re a tough guy until they’re waterboarded or they have their fingernails or teeth pulled out with a pair of channel locks. Everyone breaks under torture. The idea that someone can last until they’re killed is a Hollywood fantasy for action films.

The idea that governments are going to expend valuable resources like learned individuals or AI to crack some individual’s code is just Hollywood thinking. If you’re a suspect, the government will monitor you. If you do anything to make them up their suspicion, they will bring you in. They aren’t going to spend untold amounts of money deciphering every suspect’s diaries or writings. They’ll just torture it out of you, either physically(fastest) or mentally.

And let’s just put this out there - if some desperate person fingered you for being whatever, having anything written in code is as good as being guilty to them. You will not return to your previous life. At best you’ll be released and monitored till the government tires of you or it falls. The latter is no guarantee it will end. Just because the government might be replaced doesn’t mean that those taking over will view any more favorably. After all, if you were deemed to be a security threat before, what makes you think they won’t take that to heart. Once deemed a security threat you will always be a security threat, even to those who you may identify with.

I think you’re overestimating what governments like this have. What is more likely is that the government will just snatch up someone who knows the the made up language, torture it out of them, and then go from there. Far less resource intensive than having departments to decipher coded language.

Exactly. Superman may be the most powerful being on Earth, but hit him with kryptonite or magic and he folds like a deck of cards. A molotov cocktail will bring the Martian Manhunter to his knees. The Green Lantern is boned against anything yellow.

I’d call it something like epanaliphobia going off the word for repetition in Greek, epanálipsi. Dunno what the word would be in ancient Greek.

Undecided? Is that a backhanded way to say non-binary?

I’m in America and I love to push my car to its limits. I will take turns unnecessarily fast. Give me a relatively clear rural road and I will be punching that speed or greater if it’s long and straight enough. Put me on a dry dirt road and I go crazy, nothing is quite like leaving a huge plume of dust behind me.

Finding out risk taking was a symptom explained soooo much about how I drive sometimes.

Edit to add: I’ve done about 160 kph(100 mph) in west Texas on the desolate straight interstate out there. That’s kind of a limit for me in a regular car without more safety features.

For the love of god. I know why they use fax, but it is so damn frustrating in the age of texting and email.

I just got on Adderall at 54, with all I heard I figured I’d have to hunt it down. Nope, my regular pharmacy had it. Scared what it’ll be like next month.

Got any, uh, links for a, uh, friend of mine?

Why does your SO enter into your taking care of your mental health? This is all about YOU, if they don’t like it, they are free to leave and find a partner that does not have it. Never, fucking ever put someone else’s opinion before your well being.

It’d be over in an instant for the lucky ones.

It really doesn’t to businesses. Many places I’ve worked didn’t upgrade the OS until they did a hardware refresh.
