I grew up in the days of network television and local stations. Never had cable or those fancy DVR boxes (or teevo for those who remember). When we wanted to record something we had to know when it was going to be on, then program the VCR, slap a tape in and hope for the best.

I have no patience for ads whatsoever.

When they’d come on back in the day (me being the youngest) I’d be told to holler when the show cam back on.

I block every single ad network wide at home. And now I only watch content without ads via any means I can.

I hate ads with a burning fiery passion.

As the saying goes: if you only have one backup you have zero backups.

How the fuck does Google of all companies manage to accidentally delete that‽

I’m someone who owns a few guns and even I think owning .50 cal guns is stupid.

The ammo is stupid expensive, it kicks like a cladsdale, and there’s nothing you can hunt (legal or otherwise) here that would require it.

You mean evil

And no, they can’t stop

Visa is rolling out technology that will allow you to tap your card on your smart device to add it to your wallet. You’ll also be able to tap your card to your phone to confirm a transaction without needing to input any additional information.

So like almost any tap to pay system?

Shit I was doing this stuff with GPay for years.

Within a decade, you’ll likely access all of your cards with one credential and choose which payment method you’d like to use. That includes not just credit and debit cards, but also buy now, pay later options and direct payments from your bank account.

This is just PayPal.

Of course it did

It’s 2 that his party would get rid of if they could

It’s a lot of fun for sure

And can be really tough at times

What kind of gear did you use for this one?

Beautiful

Not wanting to be filmed backstage at an event seems pretty normal IMO as backstage is where a lot of prep work happens. It probably not safe for untrained personnel and/or might reveal things that people don’t want on camera (like costume malfunctions that are being worked out)

No worries the whole concept of parthenogenesis is a really obscure and obtuse one.

Here’s a SciShow link that does a really good job of describing it in a less obtuse and confusing way.

Have you run a PID tune?

And when you installed your thermal probe and heater cartridge did you use thermal compound?

Edit: Sorry for the really basic questions but in my experience clogging issues typically have a frustratingly simple solution.

Edit2: Does your printer have a screen not connected to Klipper?

Do you have the correct thermister type set in the firmware? If there’s a reporting difference that could be why. (This one bit me on my first 3D printer rebuild, now I’m way more vigilant about it)

Without a nozzle installed are you able to push the filament through the hot end? (This one bit me on one of my printers due to faulty hot end and there being a piece of metal partially obstructing the filament path. Sucked to diagnose but was an easy fix once it was found)

Is everything on the hot end tightened down still? (This one bit me a few weeks ago after a couple bolts on my hot end worked themselves lose after months of use)

Is your extruder still functional gripping the filament? If it can’t grip properly (or is jamming) this can cause clogging issues.

No worries

And dang that it’s not one of those things as the things I mentioned in my comment are relatively easy to fix

Edit: Best of luck on solving it and I really hope to see you post about how you fixed it as I’m hella curious

Nah I’m good, thank you for thinking of us though

When I used to play MTG one of the LGSs I used to play at had a policy of, “If you play with proxies they much be cleared by the judge first.”

Almost everyone with anime proxies got told they couldn’t use them due to them almost always being NSFW. The people with sharpied basics almost never got turned down. The anime proxy dudes who got turned down always got pissed when they got told no.

They were pretty good on a lot of things but the regulars who’d show up to games were eventually the reason I stopped going there.

I do miss MTG sometimes but I don’t miss the local MTG groups at all.

Hope is key to acting

Using hope as a driving factor for acting to bring the change you want to see

For example: I hope to see better pedestrian focused infrastructure in my community therefore I act in a way to make that happen. I call my reps, I talk with people I meet about it, etc.

Those targeted ads aren’t messing around

Edit: Personally I’ve already got an urn picked out for me. A probably too large coffee can of my favorite coffee brand.

I’d prefer it not get used for my ashes for at least a few more decades though.

I feel the same way

But in terms of international politics such accusations must be made carefully and with substantial evidence

I feel they could have had that evidence awhile ago but I’m hoping they took this long to make sure to get as many as possible correctly in the net of “Violating International Law”. For example substantial evidence that goes very high up the chain of command of the Israeli military.

Hell yeah that’s freaking awesome

I hope to see these become popular someday and with that kind of increase they’re likely to get a shit ton of funding

So many people commuting to jobs that could easily be done from home nowadays

I work in the freight industry in a position I can’t do from home but when the whole work from home thing was in full swing I didn’t get stuck in traffic except a few times when the local drawbridge went up

Probably SEO reasons to help it pop up if you search his name there by driving more traffic to their site

I live in the PNW, this is legit my strategy

It can get pretty grubby during the summer months though
