I agree on the hardware front.

I made the choice to move from windows to Mac for my work-provided laptop and I absolutely love it for track pad alone. I have never used another machine where the track pad worked so well. The movement feels natural in relation to how the cursor moves on the screen and the gestures seem so reasonable for my mind.

I’m always open to suggestions when it comes to better hardware but, right now, I can’t see changing away because I like the feel so much.

This made me giggle. Well played.

I haven’t looked into it but there are two other games that exist in the system. I immediately thought of “Band of Blades” which is a low fantasy bandit setting. It’s an assumption but might be an alternative

I was thinking the same thing but the red plates read 2.5kg. not sure what the others are but I’m assuming 22kg in total? Still very amazing considering my mother, who is 20 years this woman’s junior, couldn’t do this.

This was a very interesting talk. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m in tech sales as a SE. So it’s definitely not important. I’ve been in this job for almost a decade and as an engineer I hate the sales process. I have been skating by for a vast majority of my time in the job simply doing what I need to to “answer the mail.” My customers like me and know I’ll do what they need when they need it, but I’m not banging on doors to make the sale. The account has been successful the entire time I’ve been working it and my company pays me buckets of money. I think I’m proud of my work-to-income ratio but not of anything I actually do as part of the job.

I answer some emails, sit on calls while playing video games, and point people at other people to get answers. It’s mindless and boring and I’ll do it as long as they’ll let me.

A New Jersey left is where a driver needs to make a left at a normally light controlled intersection. But instead of a left turn lane they’re required to go through the intersection and take a right hand turn so they can loop back onto the cross street and pass through the intersection. I grew up in northern NJ knowing them as Jug Handles.

It was justified as a traffic control tactic that removes the wait cycle for left turns.

The article also says you can exit before the intersection to make a left on the side street before the light and then go through but I’m less familiar with that design. It requires you to make a left through waiting traffic which seems much harder to accomplish.

Unrelated to anything in this topic but I grew up within the confines of this map view. It’s nuts to me that you posted it and I stumbled across the discussion to see it.

Is there a good guide a Revanced newbie could follow to get it all set up? I’ve been searching around uBlock as a lot of sites related to Revanced flagged as “bad ware.” Theres a lot of info out there but some of it’s quite old (might not be an issue) but my ignorance and anxiety prompted by the uBlock flags makes me hesitant to trust what comes up in searches. Most of the communities here are quiet as well.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Daikon do! Some varieties of radish go from seed to “ready to harvest” in as little as 3 weeks. They’re also great for nutrient cycling and breaking up dense soils in preparation for other plantings, Daikon does a particularly good job as they grow deeper than many varieties. Even when planted around other things they grow low to the ground so they rarely directly compete for light.

I normally plant at least 2 waves of radishes in my garden to start and end the season.

My experience is quite different. I have 4 puppos and we have practiced “lining up” with each in their place as they wait for their meals. I release them with a simple “Okay” and they know the difference between that and “Ohhhhhhtay” and “Ohio” or “Oahu.”

These examples differ a bit from what you said but I think dogs can differentiate better than we give them credit for sometimes.

I have a carbon as well and it is louder than I’d like. But with that said it’s no louder (with the enclosure open) than my old Ender 3S1. The real noise comes from the enclosure fan which is optional if you’re printing PLA.

I haven’t tried any sound dampening mods to it though. I have the luxury of being able to stick it in a closet when it’s working.

With it all considered I would definitely recommend it for it’s price point and how well it prints for a novice hobbyist like myself. It’s really close to “set it and forget it”

Happy Cake Day!

I just got my Elegoo Centauri Carbon and it’s a huuuuuuge upgrade from my old Ender3. This doesn’t directly answer your request because it’s multi material isn’t even released yet and I don’t know the specifics of what it will support (the details might be out there I just haven’t looked). But I would recommend checking it out, from what I understand it’s meant to be a bamboo competitor at about half the price.

This is the way to go in my book. Everything gets assembled on parchment and the parchment goes on the hot stone in a 500(f) oven for 7 or 8 minutes. Then you can lift up one side of the pizza and slide the parchment out and let the pizza finish for however long it needs to meet your preference. It’s normally another 5 minutes for me to get a nice crispy crust.

The whole process removes the need for flour or semolina on the stone and, in turn, removes the issues of all that sliding around when you drop the pizza from the peel.
