Maybe he just ran out of the paper towels Trump threw at him the last time he was in PR. Now he had a spill to clean up and he’s finally mad.

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.

South Korea is going to have a wealth of embarrassing NK military footage from this to use in their cross border propaganda deliveries. That could damage morale inside North Korea in a way that’s never been seen before.

Fingers crossed this dumb decision hurts their regime hard.

It sounds like you’re in an ideal position since you’re leaving anyway.

Option 1: fuck em. Tell them nothing. Remain professional and curt until your last day and never look back. Don’t bother with the exit interview.

Option 2: say nothing to your manager. During the exit interview (assuming it’s not just your manager in attendance), tell them your manager constantly pressures you to engage in social activity outside your work scope. You didn’t want to do that because there’s already so much pettiness and politics and you don’t see how more social exposure to your coworkers would improve that.

Option 3: sit down with your manager right now and explain that you don’t want to make friends with your coworkers. You’re perfectly happy getting along with them and doing good work, but you keep your social life separated from your work life. You find constant non-work chatter as a distraction and it keeps you from concentrating on and delivering good work.

Option 4: quit now. Unless you really need a reference from this company in the future, every shift you remain there is just doing them a favour. Write a letter to the CEO outlining why you’re leaving and why you don’t see any possibility of the company culture improving under its current management.

Quite frankly, the fact that she used the word “family” suggests she’s too out to lunch and can’t be reasoned with. She didn’t become a manager through any sort of training and doesn’t possess the mindset to empathize where people are coming from if they aren’t exactly like her.

“But if it silently fails then we won’t know there’s a problem until a customer reports it and we go looking for it!”

Yes, and that could be weeks before it becomes my problem again!

You need to rotate your pc case if the VGA port isn’t vertical. The ground pins always need to be on top so all those grounding electrons weigh down the other conductors to make the data flow more quickly.

You’re an adult and can make your own decisions.

Hopefully, anyway. I’m an adult and can barely make any decisions, but I hope I’m an outlier.

I fix my parents’ computers. I fix the computers of the super old people in the neighborhood. I fix my kid’s computer. I fix my friends’ computers.

I don’t think it’s generational.

When your car breaks down, do you fix it? At what point do you take it to a mechanic?

At what point do you call an electrician or plumber? Who biopsies their own cysts?

It’s all the same shit. We live in a society of specialists because there’s simply too much potential knowledge for everyone to be able to do everything.

And if we start arguing about what things people “ought to be able to do themselves”, we turn into a bunch of old farts lamenting about the good old days.

I don’t think I’ve added to the list in months.

I haven’t noticed that at all. Whenever I see an argument made in good faith, there’s frequently contrary responses that delve into the actual issues and discuss some of the nuance around them. I found Reddit far worse (especially the default subs).

On Reddit, any comment reply I got was usually someone telling me to kill myself or correcting some boring pedantic thing. On Lemmy they usually make me think about the issue some more, and they’re never frothing-at-the-mouth aggressive.

But it might also depend a lot on what communities you spend time in, what instance you’re on, and what instances you have blocked.

If I’m understanding what you want to hear, you should totally just buy Aldi’s taquitos. Maybe a drink if you’re feeling fancy.

“Holy shit I really need to vacuum this room.”

This is expected Canadian source code:

// cache the colour in case we need it later for the neighbour
color = fetchColor();
neighbor.color = color;

When language keywords are all written in American English it’s foolish to try to author your code in a different language. But comments are fair game.

“But you clearly deserve more than $15 an hour. What do you do, what do you deserve to earn, and why?”

I don’t think poop jokes resonate very well on any of the Lemmy communities I’ve seen.

Also, if you’re accidentally pooping your pants so hard that it falls down your pant leg and onto the floor, you may want to consider getting a medical opinion or at least doing some pelvic floor exercises. That’s concerning.

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.

If you look closely you can also see his arm sticking out the window, further holding down the roof.

I was coming around a bend on a really wide, “gentle“ road behind a business park. It had no cars parked on the street and was wide open with little traffic.

Come around the corner and see, right in the middle of the road, a driving school car flipped on its roof. No other cars around, no hazards. Just a perfectly placed car on its head, even pointed down the road as though some movie prop guys had installed it.

Standing beside it was a very bored and sad looking cop directing traffic. I think he was tired of every passing car taking a picture as they drove by.
