  • Alcoholic after one drink. Fantastic after zero Fantas.

  • This is why I drink gin and tonic. A proven prophylactic against malaria. The worst killer disease the world has ever known. So I can't be an alcoholic.

    One can't be too careful you know.

  • You were lucky. What would have you done if you couldn't prove you no longer had possession of the car? If they had ticketed the driver directly, none of that could have happened to you. There would have been nothing for you to prove.This is why the state I live in has had that law requiring ticketing the actual driver and not the car decades before traffic cameras were even a thing.

    And since there are no self driving cars that can be commonly found on the roads today, that's a silly idea. And IF that time ever comes, someone is still going to need to be liable for that self driving car as it goes down the road. That software is going to be so locked down it must follow all laws without exception. Because the company will hold the liability.

  • You what really works? Having a law on the books that plainly states the "the driver must be ticketed". And NOT the vehicle. So unless they pull the car over and hand the ticket to whoever is driving, they can't use cameras for that purpose.

  • Prusa releases upgrades for Core One+, Core One L, and XL

  • Hey, it's cool. I got that tee shirt too.

  • How many is multiple? I want to know because this is important information to me. But I also want to be unbiased in my evaluation of risk.Your link is the first I have heard of the mini having issues. And they only list 1 mini, all the rest are A1 machines. I cannot find in my searching for any other mini that has melted or caught fire. It certainly does not show up in any other 3D printing forum I have been in except here this one time for one machine.

  • I'm in the US and on 120V power. Which only provides a quarter of the power vs the 240V mains used in Europe, to the heat bed making it far less likely to happen. Plus, I use a surge protector for it. Nor do I run overnight prints because I don't trust ANY 3D printer. And that includes my Prusa. I'm no Bambu fanboi, but one reported case of a mini catching fire is statistically irrelevant.

    That said, there is an inherently greater risk of fire with certain types of hobbies. And 3D printing is one of them.

  • I’m giving it a go too. I got some noticeable warping on my first try. Shows promise, though the implantation of Orca seems a bit unstable for me running in Kinnonite. I intend to follow and test versions now and then.

  • I got tired of waiting for that and was going to buy the Qidi X-Smart-3, but I waited just a couple of months too long and had to settle for a an A1 Mini combo instead, and no it's not connected to the cloud.

    I do have to admit, I do like the AMS lite because it allows me to use every last gram of filament off of a spool and then auto switch to a new spool. But I did have issues with their software/firmware in the beginning. It damaged both of the plates I had within the first month. I had to wait for the next firmware update for the fix.

  • That's why you have lefsa with it. You can use it to patch any holes and it's stronger and tougher than steel.

  • Lutefisk is delicious served with warm cream and melted butter.

    ***For those that do not know, lutefisk is cod that has been soaked in a lye bath to change the texture of the meat and help preserve it. It was a pretty common food in Scandinavian country's back in the day. And came with immigrants to Minnesota. Though it's not nearly as common as it used to be. Interestingly, Minnesota imports cod from places like Norway and then makes the lutefisk and then exports it back. And it's often sold and eaten around Christmas in parts of Minnesota.

  • Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware

    Jump

  • Since I've been Windows free for several decades now, I will hard agree with you that running your favorite distro is the Waytm But I like I said, I'm under no illusions that my old hardware has a life span. Like me, someday it's going to die and not even running Arch can fix it. And if there are no old affordable parts or whole computers, what then?

  • That's the kind of bridge you need to plan on crossing long before you get there.

    It's like driving a big truck. You get to the bridge and the sign says 5 ton(ne) weight limit and you're driving a 40 ton(ne) truck. And there is a line of cars behind you that stretches to the horizon. You can't turn around now. What are you going to do?

  • Look at the long game. Installing a Linux distro is great. But what happens when your GPU/CPU/SSD dies and you can't afford or buy replacements?

    They got more time and can afford to wait us out.

  • I made Mayonnaise

    Jump

  • Sigh, my wife just drove 40 miles round trip to get a jar of mayonnaise to make potato salad. We do have all the required items to make it at home.

    And the worst part of it all-- The grocery store was out of real mayonnaise so she came home with Miracle Whip......
