I’ve never met a mason that didn’t watch TV and listen to the radio but my sample size is only a few hundred.

Damn, beat me to it.

I can also recommend this service.

There was a big headline recently about a tech company accidentally hiring a North Korean “hacker” (I’m just going off the headline) so that might be fresh in memory with regards to your laptop farm reference.

Ah yeah, that makes sense. There’s a big difference between a 7cm folding pocket knife and a 20cm fixed blade rambo-esque hunting knife… And I can’t think of any reason to carry the latter around in a city : )

I’ve carried a knife in my pocket everyday for the past 35 years or so. It’s a useful tool both for actual work and mundane tasks like opening boxes/etc.

A few weeks ago I was hiking near a lake and found a bird entangled in fishing line. It would’ve been very difficult to free it without some type of blade. Hell, it took almost 15 minutes even with the knife because it was so wrapped up and distressed.

I’ve been carrying around multiple little baggies of pills in my backpack for years and over 20+ flights, several international, they’ve never asked.

Some are separated but loose in the bag (ibuprofen, cetirizine, diphenhydramine, from a bottle), and some were trimmed to minimum size from a blister pack and placed in the bag.

They focus a lot more closely on my headphones, charging cables, battery packs, etc.

So whatever is most convenient for you, in my opinion.

EDIT: they didn’t flag my epinephrine auto injectors (see: needles) either the three or four times I forgot to put them in the bin separately. Granted, those were domestic US flights.

I haven’t read the manual but I don’t think you’re supposed to cook your glasses.

Depends on the state. Down here there are pretty much zero restrictions except with an asterisk that it’s illegal to harm someone with them… AKA, an extra charge of you’re a dick and stab someone.

I’ve been carrying an “out the front automatic” for the last few years.

I bought a topo map a few weeks ago for a backpacking trip. Electronics are heavier and less suitable for that purpose in my opinion.

The inside of the can is lined by spray coating an epoxy lacquer or polymer to protect the aluminum from being corroded by acidic contents such as carbonated beverages and imparting a metallic taste to the beverage

Guess it depends on your definition of “plastic” and if someone would colloquially refer to an epoxy lining as plastic. Not here to debate word meanings but there is definitely a liner inside aluminum cans.

Same. I go through periods of printing a lot then getting busy and not touching it for months. I’ve noticed my PLA and PLA+ get really brittle as they age even when stored in a dry box and drying again before use.

I can usually get it to print but I have to be gentle with it.

I mean… Expiration dates are mostly a lie anyway. Just do the sniff test, probably fine.

But, on topic, I do appreciate the post since that’s weird.

I’m not arguing with you, just wanted to add my own little info in the most applicable place (and to complain about touch screens :)

My 2017 Honda Civic doesn’t have a touch screen but I did specifically have to get the “lower end” LX model. All the EX models I looked at were touch control.

Paying less money to ensure I don’t get garbage I hate? Don’t threaten me with a good time.

EDIT: I enjoy how I managed to accidentally format the “not arguing” bit in huge font so I’m screaming at you for some reason… Sorry

Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices… The circle of life continues.

Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I’ll migrate your monolith back to micros :D

Do you work with me? I’m in the US south and my EU colleagues love “y’all” and have started using it (ironically or not :) pretty often.

Warms my heart.

Other recommendations are great but you could also try some type of adhesive AFTER you’ve eliminated any other potential problem sources.

It does look a over extruded. Have you calibrated your esteps? I always need to do that when changing filament types and sometimes even between rolls of the same filament type (especially bargain bin PLA from amzn)

My ender 3 with a textured glass bed sticks perfect with PLA and nothing else. For some reason PLA+ tends to lift. Glue stick helped with PLA+ but I hated dealing with because it REALLY stuck so I switched to masking tape. That does the job and is easier to remove. On my CR-10 with plain glass bed (no texture) I use hairspray… Mostly because that’s what the guy I bought it from recommended and, to be honest, it does work amazingly. Nothing sticks to that glass plate bed without an adhesive but it pops right off once the bed cools down.

That said, I don’t recommend “extra” adhesives unless you’re fully sure you’ve solved any other potential problems. They can be a help/bandaid but if the root cause is something else then you’re just masking it.

Some materials and beds need some help, some don’t. I primarily use PLA and PLA+ with the occasional PETG and TPU.

I feel personally attacked by this comment.

The sites shouldn’t have to maintain that but browsers should?

Also, some browsers are open source.

There’s so many problems with this idea that I don’t know where to start. But, I do see where you’re coming from.
