world World News An Allegedly Corrupt Russian Commander Sent His Best Drone Operator To Die As An Infantryman

    The drone operators video in the article explicitly calls out the commander for being corrupt, misreporting the situation on the ground, having Western contacts that he's working with, and being involved in narco-trafficking.

    I feel bad for the drone operator who was sent to his death for a shitty cause, but if the Russian commanders are like that, that's a win for the good guys in my book.

    For sure. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. When we had that Personal Order a few months ago to get a few hundred kills with the 500kg it was painful. Having swarms of bugs just casually strolling out of the explosion visual was frustrating.

    Nice. That reminded of this post I made last week where Denver had 13 points, having scored no touchdowns (2 safeties and 3 field goals), and Seattle had 9 points (1 TD with a failed 2 point conversion and a field goal). I always love weird scores or scores that make you go "how the hell did you get 21 points with no touchdowns?"

A large majority – 76% of Americans – support a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court, according to the poll.

    Dry your filament!

    I love in Colorado, which is a pretty dry state, so while I had heard of "wet filament", I never considered it to be a problem that I would have to worry about. I had seen people creating dry storage bins for their filament, but figured that must just be for people in humid climates. When I first bought my 3D printer a few years ago, I did what most people probably do - I bought a 10 pack of different filament colors. Everything printed great for a while, but eventually, my prints just started to kind of suck. I made a few upgrades to my printer, but still couldn't pinpoint what was going on. What was frustrating, is that some times my prints would be great - but other times I couldn't even print the most simple prints without problems. I eventually noticed that my great prints were from newer filament that I had recently purchased, but my bad prints were coming from spools I've had sitting out for a while. So I purchased a $40 filament dryer on Amazon and it **instantly** fixed all the problems I'd been having. I feel dumb, because I had gone through three different extruders, new hot ends, new nozzles, tubing, and spent tons of time cleaning and tightening stuff on my printer. I had left my printer untouched for months because it was just so frustrating. Something as simple as old filament left out never occurred to me until much later. TLDR; If your prints have started to suck after a while, you might want to try drying your filament.
