What happened?

So they’re fighting the war on climate change… on the side of climate change?

Yeah, that’s the one I was thinking about. I followed him on Twitter when it still existed, but haven’t seen anything of him since I left.

but also fuck Ben Garrisons 8,500 labels on his political cartoons

Wat. It’s Ben Garrison. That’s his thing. He makes fun of excessively labeled political cartoons by doing it over-the-top. He also has a sad Statue of Liberty in every comic.

Okay, I was completely lost.

That’s still incredibly cheap compared to european gas prices. Here in Germany it’s (converted to Freedom Units) around US$8/Gallon.

The german language has two words for “owl”: “Eule” and “Kauz”. I’m a native speaker, but I had to look up what the difference is (Wikipedia/Deepl):

“Eule” means “owl”.

“Kauz” also means owl, but specifically the small, fat and grumpy looking kind:

Various bird genera and species from the family of true owls (Strigidae) are referred to as [Kauz]. The differentiation between the terms “Eule” and “Kauz” is a peculiarity of the German language and has no equivalent in terms of zoological systematics. [Eule] are generally rather elongated, slender bird species, whereas [Kauz] have a stocky, large-headed shape

[Eule] are considered thoughtful and wise, whereas [Kauz] are considered clumsy, eccentric and reclusive.

That’s literally it, it has nothing to do with biology. So the correct translation would be “grumpy-looking goshawk owl”. 😉

It’s called displacement aggression The sportsball fan identifies with his team to the point that it feels like he lost the game himself. Since he can’t express his frustration and subsequent aggression towards the opposing team (since he is in front of his TV several 100km away), he expresses it towards the next best thing that is weaker and accessible, e.g. furniture, walls, wife and kids…

One point I want to add: Throughout most of human history, it was economically beneficial to have lots of children. They were your retirement plan (and cheap labor).

In most developed countries, this is no longer the case. People who want children get one or two, just to scratch the itch, but that’s not enough to sustain the population (without migration).

Have you adjusted the speed settings according to what the manufacturer says? LW-PLA can only be printed at a very low speed or else it clogs. It also needs constant speed. For example for colorfabb LW-PLA, I had to set all speeds to 40mm/s.

Is this owl using eyeliner?! ; )

How does this work with Apple - will the new Iphone be available as soon as it’s announced? (I’m considering switching from Android)

I don’t own an SLA printer. Where is the fuckup?

The word “caffra”

for instance, numerous creatures, especially in Africa, have as part of their scientific name the word caffra, cafferiana, caffrorum, and other similar derivations of an Arabic word for “infidel” that is now considered a highly offensive racial slur and regarded as hate speech in South Africa.

Players of the city building simulation game Cities: Skylines II are celebrating the release of “Bye Bye Homeless,” an unofficial mod that will automatically delete homeless people from their cities if they can’t find housing after 1.5 hours of in-game time, solving an apparent bug that flooded their cities with impossible to remove homeless people.

I don’t know any slicers that do it exactly as you described. I know that in OrcaSlicer you can print perimeters at set layer height, but infill only everey Xth layer.
