I have had a simpler variable temp kettle for about a decade (https://www.cuisinart.ca/en/perfectemp-cordless-electric-programmable-kettle/CPK-17C.html) which is great for tea (Why we got it in the first place). Definitely consider upgrading my cheap gooseneck with the cuisinart one.

Afaik this is a senate bill and similar to s210 from last parliament, the NDP voted in favour of that one last session which I’m extremely disappointed about, I recall the NDP being pro privacy in the past, which totally got some of my friends interested in them in the first place.

It’s even more disappointing that the liberals were the only party with Nay votes on that one. I realise that wasn’t passing this bill but still, unimpressed.

Edit. This showed up earlier too in s203 back a few parliaments ago. Senator Julie Miville-Dechêne is the sponsor on all of these.

Do you care about having decent enough devices to enjoy it or do you just buy the cheapest pair of earbuds to silence the world around you?

I have some nice headphones and a decent enough dac/amp (subjective obviously, I tend to go for good cost/performance), to me there’s a floor I’ll want to use, cheap Sony buds were mine. If it doesn’t absolutely destroy the music (tinny, compressed, etc. Crap devices can really make things unpleasant, there are cheap buds that aren’t crap).

Do you have favorite albums or do you just hit play on a random playlist and zone out?

It’s all mood dependent, I do absolutely have favourite albums, but I often listen to a playlist of albums either my partner or I have found.

Do you ever listen to music just to enjoy it and nothing else?
Yes, definitely.

Do you talk with passion about your favorite songs/albums/artists?
All the time, my partner is also really into music so we talk about it all the time. I totally share albums and stuff to colleagues and friends, I tend to listen to a lot of different genres so have a bunch to chose from. I tend to have more favourites in terms of recent listens, some exceptions though.

Do you spend time searching for music?
Yeah, all the time. Some weekends I’ll just browse bandcamp and find albums that sound interesting to me. Totally a couple’s activity for my partner and I, very regularly share finds with each other or things that we might think the other would like. Sometimes also do playlists up of stuff we think might expand the other’s listening, different genres or styles we might have missed or glazed over.

Music is art to me, I love looking at the evolution of genres, hearing influence between genres (some genres have similar roots and cross over, but also really interesting to hear totally unique takes). I like collecting records if only for the large format, some albums have amazing art on them. I do also use music as a coping mechanism, was something I used to help handle undiagnosed ADHD for years, would always have music on to drown out surroundings.

Imo, the expanse was excellent partly because of casting and the fact that the authors were so involved with it. Also, had what like 3 seasons before it hit Amazon? I still wish we got to see an adaptation of the final 3 books but I’m still glad we got what we did, definitely up there for me both tv and book wise.

Bambu has what looks like a pinout in their troubleshooting docs. From your picture, that looks like a molex microfit connector to me so you could try making one if you’re comfortable doing so, good to have around imo regardless.

Other option there is to wait, confirm and document its pinout and then you have it if you ever need to repair that cable in the future.

I really like waistline for that, it sets targets on a (configurable) rolling window, and it’s open source.

The only real issue is hdr in my experience, runs fine through gamescope usually but I’ve found the proton only option (expose Wayland and the like through proton_ge) technically work but the colours are washed out (and yeah, I have all the dxvk hdr stuff there). Dlss and frame gen work perfectly fine, HDR through gamescope does work as well for most games, bl4 has weird dlss artifacts in linux for some reason but that’s the notable standout to me. Been running a 4070ti for the last year for reference, I do intend to go amd at some point but nvidia works fine.

CANDU also has a lot of different possible fuel cycles, from Wikipedia, these are some of the possible options

We also already have the ability to produce heavy water for them.

Thank you, I’ll have a look after work!

That’s actually amazing, can you choose the bots you’re filling the raid/party slots with? I’ve got wicked nostalgia for wotlk and my partner was interested in wow when classic came out but they’ve had bad experiences with pug raids in other games (heck, even issues with guilds). Would you mind posting a link to some of the guides you used?

You get a bag of haribo golden bears with the kit, manual has callouts after completing a section to treat them as a reward for completing a milestone, intro page talking about it

Building my v2.4 was spread out across multiple days, I didn’t rush anything. A lot of that time was spent making sure everything was square, tramming the gantry, cabling took a while. There’s a lot of small fiddly stuff, bearings that you’ll not want to damage, things you don’t want to accidentally pinch so while you could probably bang out a kit pretty quick once you’ve had some experience, I’d still really want to take my time with it, put time and care into the assembly and it’ll pay off with quality and reliability.

And to be fair to the total time I spent, I spent time trying to understand how things all worked together while assembling it, active assembly time was only a fraction of it.

From some looking, I think those are pear slugs, wiki page has a better photo, I’m not sure of the best way to control them unfortunately, saw one recommendation to just spray them off with a hose as an option, I’ve had luck with soap and water spray for other pests in the past.

If you’re going the route of a stealthmax, the v2 version has a servo controlled vent, original version it’s manual. All filaments give off material you don’t want to breath, nevermore has good info on this in the micro repo. Personally, I’d always aim for enclosed no matter what, the most I have in my garage is a box fan w/ decent furnace filters taped to it (works for wildfire smoke), I’d be venting outside if I had to setup inside the house.

I only ever had filtered recirc and exhaust on my enclosures, I’d rather keep it slightly negative to ambient air to try keeping the atmosphere inside the printer.

While the tn issue is better, personally found I a lot better to not use external geometry at all and instead build my references wrt the base plane. At worst I have to change a sketch attachment, that and doing chamfers absolutely last has saved a ton of grief on some recent models. I hand sketch first, how I learned cad in the first place, that workflow seems to mesh well with it.

Still the odd crash here or there but I’m accepting of it.

The copy of Roller Coaster tycoon I played as a kid literally came out of one of those boxes, there were some legit great ones on offer.

Linux has that for vulkan shaders but like, you still get compiling shaders when loading in bl4 even after that.

I don’t recall satisfactory having that issue and it’s ue5 afaik, hits a solid fps too even with global illumination on.

For the price? Yeah absolutely. I got mine really discounted and it holds up, my partner has an oled which looks great and I like the larger screen, but not sure if $300 more is worth it for everyone. You can get a solid case & screen protector, battery bank and upgrade the ssd for nearly that.

It’s nice to have just in case but seriously, I find my 350x350 way oversized for what I print on the regular. The best use I have for that size is printed panels, but the z height us mostly useless for 99% of what I do.

Total anecdote, I had similar washboarding with my mk3s, I did a bed levelling mod that replaced some of the standoffs with silicone tubing spacers and that helped a lot. It was always in the same spot and it would mostly show up on prints that covered large areas and toward the edges of the bed.

I do echo others though that I do think extrusion multiplier and first layer offset do play a role with it, petg doesn’t like the same amount of squish that you can get away with using abs (not to say it doesn’t happen, just doesn’t look as rough, it doesn’t cause a failed print for me and I don’t mind a quick cleanup with a deburring tool depending what it’s for).

Does it show up if you flip the sheet just as a thought? I recall having a bit more of an issue with one side of my satin sheet for example. Last thought, could be worth giving things a long heat soak before doing meshing and homing, make sure everything is more or less stable expansion wise.
