I came across this, had fun. Took the Dirty Arty route, started lobbing dynamite at them then ran in with the shotgun. Very entertaining, and even managed to not get Arthur killed in the process.

Our international partners began moderating the intelligence they would share while Trump was in office. They couldn't trust him to not blab about state secrets during dinner parties just to try to impress people with how smart and important he was.

Used to have fun playing the RPG with friends back in the late 80s and early 90s. Always liked the background to the game, the blending of tech, magic, and fantasy realms. Looks like all 3 of those PC games are on Steam, have to put them on the wish list.

Found $500 that way last year. Windy afternoon, blew into the parking lot from the main road. My thought of "holy shit, cool!" was tempered by the next thought of "this is gonna suck for whoever dropped it".

It has been popular. People were traveling out of country for joint replacements. Costs were less for travel, surgery, and recovery than what they would pay for it here. Covid put a damper on travel for a couple years, so not sure if it's still as popular. I would consider it if/when I need knee replacements done. Considering what I've heard about the quality issues of joint replacements in the US, I don't want one here.

There really should be better options, but it's where this country is currently at, where some home chemistry is something people would have to consider. You're right, it's dangerous and certainly has a lot of risks. With some background in it myself and access to resources that the general public doesn't have, I would still be hesitant to try something I'd cooked up in the basement at home. But, I'm also not at the point where I'm going to die from a treatable but unaffordable disease.

I'm a quality chemist. I test the API's that process chemists make to be sure they're right. Yeah, reactions don't always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you're independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you're not valuable enough to save?

Had cystic acne most of my life. Got diagnosed with celiac's disease, cut gluten out of my diet, and the acne pretty much stopped. Not saying that's it's the solution here, but my dermatologist had said years earlier that I likely had some other undiscovered, underlying issue. There are a lot of allergies and immune disorders that may be connected.

I forgot about the boil in bag meals. Mom didn't buy them too often, but we always had a stack of the frozen dinners around. A latchkey kid staple meal.

I ate a lot of those chicken dinners as a kid. On a floral plastic TV tray in front of the television. Usually with a glass of milk in a Tupperware cup (came as a set of four cups with red, yellow, blue, and green ones).

I was really enjoying this game for a couple weeks, and plan to go back to it after it gets a few updates. Just started to get Ground Hog's Day fatigue after a while. The same critters keep spawning in the same places, over and over again. Gets tedious after a while. Had the same problem playing Small Land. Love the exploring and all, but monotonous critter spawns. Hoping they'll implement some randomness once they develop the game more.

I bought two copies of this game at the end of 2019 for a friend and I to try out. At $5, why not? We have played the shit out of this game since then, especially when we both got stuck home during covid for a few weeks. Glad it's finally reached 1.0, enjoying seeing all of the updated POI's and some new critters. So what if it took this long to come out of alpha? Have had way more than five bucks worth of fun over the past few years.

There used to be one in Kalamazoo MI on the west side of the WMU campus in the 90's. Loved that place, burritos were really good. No, not really as big as your head, but it was a lot of food.

I know shooting sports in schools used to be a thing, but figured after Columbine that those programs were all dropped and didn't exist anymore. Gunfire near a school is no longer about academic competitions, but something tragic and far too common.

I'm going to make the assumption that is PETG you are working with. I had cobwebs like that when I tried moving over from doing PLA. There were a few things I had to work out to get better prints.
- Slow down the print speed and work up once you get acceptable prints. Try 40 to 50mm/s to start.
- Increase filament retraction. Default I think is like 0.2mm, try 1.0mm instead.
- Increase the travel speed. I've used 350mm/s, which helps break strings, as someone else already suggested.
- Drop the extruder temperature. PETG gets more stringy as it gets hotter. Lower temp may help, and if you aren't trying to print at warp speed, bonding should still be good. Do small test prints to see where your cutoff is. Also, if the cooling fan on that Sovol is a bit anemic then printing cooler lets each layer solidify before the next one gets added. Hopefully you get things worked out, good luck.

The m is an old apothecary unit for "minims" which was about 1 drop. Not very exact, the amount dosed depended on the method used to dispense each drop. Most of the content was probably water or glycol syrup, so the total alcohol content would be diluted to less than 1%.

I remember this happening, and the pet food scandal just before it. Melamine was being added to pet food and milk powder to falsely increase their protein values. Enough to cause kidney failure and sometimes death. I used to do protein analysis for food products, and could see how easy it would be for food companies to cheat like this. The percent nitrogen content in a sample is used to estimate the protein value. Melamine powder contains a lot of nitrogen, so it's blended in to bump up the final protein values. Really shitty thing to do, knowing that it's toxic.

Taste isn't great. Definitely burns some and you can feel your tongue, lips,and gums shrivel as the alcohol sucks the moisture out of them.

My wife has done this. Grabbed a bottle of Penzy's Northwood Seasoning instead of the cinnamon. That apple pie was... not so good.
Sounds like he's doing ok.
I love that having a 3d printer means you can create custom parts when you need them. I wanted a set of leveling brackets for a router table insert. Sketched up something in Solid Edge, sent it to the printer and a few hours later I have what I need. Nothing complex but functional. Used PETG on this set. ![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/2cd10106-e249-47d6-b40e-997ffbaeb08a.webp) ![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/d6a1cb72-bd0d-46ba-86bf-a8489d136fc4.webp)
