  • Depends on what you want out of your printer. 5 is the minimum for me for multicolor prints. I usually max out my MMU when I'm doing that, and the new color mixing can take advantage of even more.

    3 is probably all you need for structural stuff. One PLA, one PETG, one TPU and you can make tons of very unique, useful items. But 5 colors + support + TPU? That's an amazing amount of flexibility and design options.

  • Yes, because two decimals of accuracy is very important here. The kiln keeps temperature that tightly controlled.

  • Copy/Paste it into notepad, then copy/paste it from there into whatever else you want it.

    That's been the go-to for removing weird characters from text since the beginning of time. You SHOULD do that any time you copy text from any web page to remove any hidden text, or weird formatting.

  • That is an option. For smaller setup, capacitors are used for high peak demand applications.

    Sometimes a mixed setup is just not worth it, cause the peak demand is the important part, so you end up with like 80% LiPo and 20% Na.

    But I'm certainly no expert on the economics of infrastructure battery installations.

  • Kind of, yes. But more importantly, it also means it can only push enough power to run at 3c. And that's probably not for the full charge of the battery.

    So a 100 amp hour battery rated at 3c can push out 300 amps. Which also means that if the grid needs a short spike in power, it might be limited.

    It shouldn't be too hard to get a 15c LiPo battery, which could push 5x as much energy at peak demand.

    You'd probably kill the battery if you charged it from 0-100 at 15c, but for short bursts of charging and discharging, it should handle it just fine.

  • Libraries usually have a printer or two you can use.

  • Naw, Mathologer is fine, he starts out super basic and builds on it until it gets very complex.

    If you're not interested in the complex, you can just dip out when it gets too heavy.

  • Do you ever get tired of finding the worst in every situation?

    Virginia isn't even the biggest problem, you don't have to smile and dance, but just don't be angry about it for a bit.

  • You can't put a barrier between emergency services and someone in an emergency. Sometimes they literally don't have the ability to press 1.

    Just overstaff your call center. That's it.

    Spend a little extra money to ensure your emergency workers aren't stressed out 24x7, and they'll have the staff to manage a bigger event.

    It's an emergency service. Spend money on it like it's important.

  • Drove a few hours for both the 2017 and 2024 eclipse.

    Waited several hours afterwards to go home both times.

    The 2024 eclipse was a much easier drive home (though still not great).

  • Well, if they started at the oldest and then realized there were even older stars, then we'd have a bigger problem.

    Astronomy starts with the names, then works towards understanding, which makes almost all the names wrong in some way. Sometimes very wrong.

  • Tried that for a while. The battery turned into a spicy pillow and nearly broke the keyboard from how much it puffed out.

    If you do that, make sure the laptop has a feature to keep the battery from charging to 100% at all times. UPSs with lead acid batteries handle sitting at 100% much better.

  • Just make them leave it off. Anyone caught using a phone gets it taken away the rest of the day.

    That's what we did with anything that was distracting when I was growing up. You can have it on you, but if they see you using it. It goes into the principal's office until EOD.

    It's not super easy to find, but there are stores that sell just plain clothes before they're sent to print shops.

    But otherwise, it's kinda hard to find quality clothes with no branding on it. It's not like you go to a store and there's one plain shirt and then the same thing but with a big logo on it.

  • I miss the Nexus line of phones.

  • I'm old enough that I took my Computer Science AP test in PASCAL in pencil on paper.

    You can absolutely handwrite tests in any subject.

    You can also provide workstations with no internet access for programming if you need an IDE/Compiler/etc.
