Military can hire an outside firm to examine the redesign issues, hand them tens of millions of dollars to do it. After a couple years just drop the issue once the orange man-child is out of office. Generals can tell him it's being worked on while changing nothing, and some senator's favorite contractor (probably General Dynamics) gets a cash windfall for doing jack shit.
I saw that article a while back, and thought the lasers would be handy on cameras. You can buy 1064nm IR spotting lasers but they are rather expensive. A 1 watt model will be about $1000.
They were definitely great when I sent them a used ProAm I had bought. Supposed to convert it over to a ProLight version, but I think they sent me a pretty much new marker, didn't recognize any "old" parts on it. Haven't played in years, but still have it stored away.
Is your printer set up on a good, solid countertop? If it rests on something that has any wobble, like a folding table, it can translate into poor prints. The higher off the build plate the print goes, and the faster you run the printer, the part will wiggle a bit without a solid mount. Also make sure all the frame screws are tight.
Have a couple Sceptre monitors around the house, about 10 years now. They're great, no smart garbage installed. Don't know of another brand making something similar.
MEK can be a great solvent, but also rather toxic. Not something you want to be working with without gloves and ventilation. Guy on a paint crew I worked with called it "methyl ethyl killya".
That's what I switched to about 2 months after getting my Ender 3 S1 Pro. Klipper running from a RPi, lets me push sliced files out over WiFi to the printer right from Orca. So much better than dealing with SD cards.
Yeah, the bottom of the beaker was probably wet. I've seen them scoot sideways a little as the moisture flashes off but never all the way off a hotplate though.
I know what you mean about it taking your breath away. Took a sip of lab grade anhydrous ethanol once (200 proof), really do not recommend it. My lips and gums burned, and my tongue shriveled as the ethanol sucked up all the moisture in my mouth. Nothing good about it.
Team Internet Paintball from 1994. My member number was TIP#860. Still have the patch on an old set of cammos, if I didn't accidentally get rid of them during one of the many times I've moved over the years.
Flogging Molly! Took my girlfriend (now wife) to see them for the first time 23 years ago. She loved it, so I figured she was worth keeping. We've seen them eight times now over the years, always a great show. Thankfully Dave King made it through his head injury and coma, so the band may be back playing again this year.
