If you're a writer you're supposed to keep notebooks of ideas and snippets of wording that come to you, so you don't lose them.

Then months later you can look over it all and think "that's good shit. Now what the fuck am I supposed to do with it?"

The absolute tragedy about this story is the sheer volume of food deserts we have in the US.
Dollar stores are payday loans for groceries. They are predatory for both customers and employees, and once again, the board and the C-suite are rolling in mega-yachts.

Anyone else getting really annoyed that every new 3D printer has its own new nozzle design now?

A1 Mini, Custom Nozzles
SV07, Custom Nozzle
K1, Custom Nozzle
Neptune 4 Max, Custom Nozzle

In fact, out of the 7 printers I’ve owned, I think only the old Ender 3 V2 Neo uses a typical Mk8 nozzle. The V3 SE even uses its own MK-ST nozzle for whatever reason

The A1 at least their nozzle design is unquestionably superior in every way, quick change and integrated with the heatbreak is the way forward, and they did have the courtesy to make hardened and other sizes available. So ok here, really.

The Neptune 4 Max goes even further by being incompatble with the Neptune 4 and 4 Pro models of the same line up! What?? Why? This leaves the Max and Plus models with basic 0.4mm nozzles – absurd on a large printer already, and nothing for abrasive materials, even months after release.

But the rest, I’d love to have someone explain to me why they couldn’t have used Volcano nozzles. It seems like bullshit to me. If they somehow needed more flow than a Volcano (I doubt it, they aren’t that high speed) then CHT exists. I highly doubt any of these nozzles have a higher flow than a CHT Volcano.

It really irritates me. :blobgrumpy:

"For over a year before Hamas’ massive attack on Israel last month, Military Intelligence had detailed information on the group's plan to breach the Gaza border at dozens of points and attack dozens of communities and army posts, defense officials say.
Most of this information was shared with the Shin Bet security service, the officials said in the weeks since the war erupted, adding that the political leadership, was familiar with at least some of the intelligence."

I'll even add that Eccleston was better than Tennant, so this is also a clue that the teenybopper class outvoted everybody else, preferring a TARDIS that was actually expected to be a snogbox.

@CultureDesk
The fact that Tennant won out tells me that most folks haven't even looked at classic Who at all before voting. Meh.

As an avid player of older old pinball, I can maybe assist with that. The latter day old machines, not so much.

One of the wild things about learning to repair old #pinball machines is trying to reverse-engineer dead concepts. There are things that were duh-obvious to the creators that I have to painstakingly deduce over days of effort.

Restored this 1983 Kaypro II including replacing the foam and foil in the keyboard. It’s alive again! Using it to chat in SDF com :)

If you do not want people to respond to your thoughts, then why post them on social media, and if you must, say that you are just yelling into the void, which is perfectly fine, we all benefit from venting occasionally.

Don’t abuse people for engaging, that’s just… aside being rude, it is highly confusing to #ActuallyAutistc people.
