Have you read Vonnegut? Best give it a go.

Cat’s Cradle is my favorite but Slaughterhouse-Five is about as good as it get in regards to overall wtf is going on here, and really explorers this idea of reality being something totally different then what we think. And do make sure to check out The Sirens of Titan for the alien zoo parts

my mrk3+ needed some mods and a little tinkering but it’s always ready to go now. Prusa for life

it was fun when I felt that I was being honeytrapped

reminds me of a time back in the early 2000’s when my work decided to try using thinclients from HP to host terminal sessions to access the EMR at bedsides in a hospital. We had like 10000 of them. When we started to test them, one of the security people was seeing how it would handle the known virus at the time… well they were able to infect it at boot… and it spread to all the other devices until the plug was pulled on the project. Somewhere in the network, it was being infected before it could even load its firewall or its antivirus. So all 10000 of those devices were junked.

I’m guessing it’s one of those public awareness campaigns about the dangers of STDs and drugs and alcohol.

the only invasive species that everyone loves!

they don’t generally cause problems because they love to disrupt things we all consider pests, so thats why they don’t get labeled as invasive species

I don’t know if the printer analogy is a good one but I’m down with what you’re saying. The rise of GUI in the early days really did push printing in extreme ways

I find autocorrect to be the stupid thing sometimes, I text my wife’s name often enough and its not a common name but you’d think that since I type it so often, that autocorrect would assume that I am typing it again but nope, it never guesses correctly. It can never autocorrect my last name either… EVEN WHEN I ADDED IT TO THE DICTIONARY

this makes me laugh

I am almost 51 but I was ultra poor as a child and the only debt I have now is the morgage, but my luck has been good and I bought way low and the house is almost worth 2x what I payed

74 seems like a good age…

my body is not a temple*, it is an amusement park

this is the way…

I’m for them, exclamation points, exclamation points with question marks repeating, and just lots of quesion marks.

this article would be more helpful if they included info on how its spread… a grapic that suggests phishing and melicious website is kinda weak sauce.

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

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

while I have little sympathy for them if the accusations are true, cutting all those people at the same time is just stupid and dangerous. Hopefully there’s still people around the know how the systems work…

Windows 95 can’t run most of the modern virus files. It is mostly 16bit DOS that loads the 32bit initilization before the GUI presents itself. Anything looking for Win2k (NT) paths will fail. The virus wont know where the OS folder is
