I wasn’t ready quite yet so I put them in a bag in the freezer.

The bag got so full I had to move to a bigger bag.

My freezer is half full of brown, frozen bananas.

I don’t even like banana bread. Help.

Everything will be fine unless someone shows him an active torrent of The Apprentice and explains he doesn’t get paid residuals if people watch it that way.

I looked into this a while back and gave up.

I didn’t find any (good) models I wouldn’t have to pay for, but some of the paid STL sites had sets available for really reasonable prices, so that wasn’t really a blocker.

But FDM is basically incapable of printing any interesting models. Even if you’re printing good layers, most interesting models aren’t geometrically compatible with how an FDM model prints. You can print with supports, but removing supports from such thin, fragile bits of a model is nigh impossible without doing damage.

I went as far as shopping around for a resin printer, but I didn’t like all the ventilation cautions I read. Adding a printer is one thing, but having a well ventilated area that overlaps with where I’d want a printer was an unsolveable problem in my home.

If you just want to give it a try, grab a model off Thingiverse and see how your printer does. If you can get a piece you’d be happy to proceed with painting, that might be worth a few more iterations to see if it’s workable for your setup.

It sounds like you’ve got at least five hilarious stories to share if your day has left you feeling this way.

QEMM was the shit!

I feel like the sheer jump in performance from throwing an SSD into an old system was akin to what people would have expected from the “download more ram” scam ads of the 00s.

Better yet, there’s sites that have filters you can set. So you set the wattage filter to 60w and then…. no fucking results. But if you clear the filter, there’s lots of results, because it turns out their entire inventory has a wattage of “n/a”.

I don’t think companies understand that the words “we will make a one time exception for you as a courtesy” is the magic incantation to ensure that customer never returns.

I got that from Staples last week because they did me a real solid by refunding my online order they cancelled instead of going to a store with ID and the invoice and original credit card. Who the fuck goes to a physical store to get a refund on an online order the company themselves cancelled?!

Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.

Every piece of shit they make that I bought ended up broken and in the trash within a couple of weeks.

lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.

Did you put regular detergent in a high efficiency washer?

My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.

You need to run it with sudo, duh.

I had a Roomba that was cloud connected (when AWS has an outage, it doesn’t work at all).

It still just mindlessly ran various patterns and beeped when it got stuck, which was all the time. Piece of shit.

My beef with YouTube music is that no matter what song I start from, in 4 songs it has turned into Levitating by Dua Lipa.

Children’s songs? Foreign language? Electro swing? Hip hop? Doesn’t matter. Levitating is coming soon.

You’re just mad Gender Studies didn’t call you for a second interview.

I bought Terraria when I was really into Minecraft. Didn’t like it at first because the only Minecraft thing is “pick up blocks and crafting”, but once I gave it a fair shake I absolutely loved it.

Fuck, now I have the game music stuck in my head from thinking about the game!

I have one. It’s a fucking lie.

I don’t pirate software anymore. If I do the math on how much enjoyment I get even from a mediocre AAA game title, it is dwarfed by what I’d spend on a night out, so the value is there for me. On top of that the risk of malware (or the effort in mitigating it) isn’t really worth it.

Tv and movies? Pirate it. The streaming services are garbage and the content has too much crap for me to want to pay a corporation for it. If it became too hard to pirate I just wouldn’t watch it anymore.

Books kind of fall in the middle. Happy to pay for ebooks if the author makes it practical, but I’m not keen on buying through Amazon.
