God, I hated this book when I read it in high school. I avoided Victorian-era literature for so long because of it.

I doubt I had the emotional maturity to get much out of it back then. I’d probably have a better time now, but I have a grudge at this point and I’m gonna stick with it, dammit.

Man, that’s cool! Concrete is a heck of a lot cheaper than epoxy granite resin and is perfectly suitable for a low-precision tool like this lathe.

I do hope that he finds a way to shield those bearings. You really don’t want metal chips or sawdust making its way in there. Any damage they sustain will cause runout, which will lead to increased chatter and parts that are out of spec. Plus, a matching pair of tapered roller bearings can be quite expensive!

EDIT: to be clear, I mean no disrespect when I say low-precision. Not every lathe needs to have slides and handwheels. I have a little Sherline lathe that I’ve used like this in the past (using gravers, not tools in a tool holder). It’s great to quickly turn something or to put nice decorative details on a part. Precision is possible with a lathe like this, but it requires fairly strenuous effort.

I just have the 0.6mm nozzles mine came with. I recall hearing something like that, but I’ve felt that the phat 0.6 lads were good enough for the stuff I’m printing. If that’s a limitation, then I hope Prusa can fix it. Seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal to make that configurable.

I own a Prusa XL and I love it. it’s the most reliable printer I’ve ever owned by a long shot. The only thing I’ve been unhappy with is the somewhat lackluster support for Octoprint, but I’ve heard that others have been able to fully use the printer with the right configuration.

Yeah, the time drift between the earth and moon is small, but it’ll noticable for latency-sensitive software.

God, I’d hate to be the dev that has to deal with relativistic time zone conversions. What a fucking nightmare that’d be…

If you replace fandom.com with breezewiki.com in the URL, you’ll either get an unfucked version of the page, or you’ll get a redirect to a new wiki site that the fandom actually updates. It’s crazy how fandom doesn’t let communities remove a fandom site, so there are all of these unmaintained and out of date fandom wikis out there.

Fuckers. I don’t know why you’d want to hack the IA, but they’re dicks for doing so. I’m gonna throw some of my spondulix to the IA, and I’d encourage others to do so.

Ditto for tar and unrar, although I deal with .7z so infrequently that I have to look at the manual every time I use it.

find’s fucked up argument handling really becomes a problem for me when I want to use it in a complex pipeline or when using the -exec flag. I’ve spent far less time debugging in those situations since switching to fd. I won’t yuck the yum of folks who are comfortable and like find, but I feel that we probably have more approachable alternatives for new users.

find is also just a fucking mess in terms of UX. The fact that the ordering of positional and optional arguments are so strongly tied to each other has always driven me fucking bonkers. Nowadays, I install fd everywhere I can and tell people to switch to it and never look back. locate is nice and all, but I always forget to update the db and I don’t want it populating in the background.

tar doesn’t bug me as much, provided you use unix or GNU style options. tar xvf foo.tar is just icky and less readable than tar -xvf foo.tar. I will happily concede that it’s not very ergonomic though. I used to rely on things like dtrx (short for Do The Right eXtraction) because it was such a pain to remember the options for tar/unrar/unzip/7z.

I prefer “As Foretold.”

Feminist as foretold.

FUCK.

I have once again been hooked all the way to the fucking gills.

Nolla. They make great games with interesting vibes!

I played so many games on my Palm Pilot back in middle school. My Palm Tungsten T3 was great, and there were a shitload of freeware or shareware games released over the years.

I’m guessing it’s nostalgia. The bananas in the original game had stickers on them, but the newer games didn’t. There are a lot of people who love the old SMB games and are happy when anything is done to make the new ones like the old ones.

I don’t get being so excited about it, but these games weren’t a core part of my childhood. I played the party games in SMB 1 once and those were fun, but I don’t think I ever actually played the main game.

I think this is my favorite version of this fucking meme so far. I am giggling.

delet this

I live in Utah where we have a relatively high number of polygamists, and they’re all shit heads. My girlfriend works with a woman who was raised in a polygamist environment, and that lady went through some horrible trauma. Polyamory is the umbrella term that contains what you want, and it’s best to stick to it so that modern polyamory isn’t associated with groups like the FLDS or cunts like Warren Jeffs. Polyfidelity is more or less what my girlfriend and I practice with her other partner, so I totally understand the appeal. I’ll say that I do wish multiple marriages were possible, since it’s effectively what we want in the long run. We’ll probably have to approximate it with some form of contract or corporation.

do you mean polyamory? polygamy is where only the man gets to have multiple partners, and it usually comes with lots of abuse and misogyny. polyamory is sick tho, speaking from experience.

Thanks for finally being clear about your intentions. I was quite interested in what that biologist had to say, so I read much further through this than I normally would have.

Toodles, shitmuncher~
