Like, at least 7GB bigger.

Finally got to watch Purdue win a football game again, the marching band was still the highlight though.

Little sister-in-law is doing well at Purdue.

Put new pedals on my bike to go with new cleats and shoes and immediately knocked my ankle open when I screwed up clipping in. 4 times. Aside from that I really like the new cleats, pedals, and shoes. Super solid attachment while still being reasonably easy to unclip, just need to retrain muscle memory for clipping in since trying to do that quickly results in injury apparently.

Also got to spend some time visiting a great aunt-in-law with the family which was good, wife and sister-in-law showed her pictures from a bunch of events that unfortunately her health prevents her from going to anymore. It was a really good visit.

Damn, I kinda want to see the new copy pasta, but am too late.

Edit: Checked moderation history, 2/10, way less entertaining than I thought it would be. Not worth the effort.

I expected this to be a stage name for Benadryl Cucumber.

Probably a long island ice tea with his name on it.

Stuff.

weird-looking Ps.

Yup, everything I see this in the wild it takes two reads to figure it out, especially since in my font the upper tail is barely there. I’m about ready to see if there’s an extension for Firefox thst will convert them back to th at this point.

In the cycling world it’s kinda funny how people try to make a low climbing century (100 mile route) as a first go, and where I am I have a glut of choices for centuries with well under 1,000 meters of climbing. I just cleared out a bunch of my routes, and still have two century routes with under 600m of climbing.

Add fuel until it stops going, add engines until it starts exploding, then add struts until it stops exploding. Repeat to orbit.

Discovered a couple days ago that the rear brake on my nice road bike was dragging badly. Like, give the wheel a spin and it would stop in half a turn bad. No clue how I never noticed that in the not quite a year I’ve had the thing.

The insane part is that for a similar effort, my nice bike with a dragging brake still resulted in something like a 2 or 3 mph higher average speed than the still pretty nice gravel bike. I haven’t had a chance to ride it since fixing the brake so I’m curious how it does now.

Although, that also would explain some downhill coasting speed weirdness I noticed on group rides.

Half-assed Google search suggests he’s worth somewhere between 20 and 70 million.

Astronomer as a company is worth around a billion.

Just a note on how nozzles are made, they are machined brass usually. They can wear pretty significantly over their lifespan too, especially if you run harsh materials (glow in the dark is harsh enough that a brass nozzle might not last a single print).

There are hardened steel nozzles, but even those are a wear item, they just wear slowly. As I said somewhere else, it’s like trying to chase down a ransom note by analyzing the shape of the lead of a pencil that may have been used to write it. Just using it changes the properties.

Both the ones for adjustment, and the operator.

You’d also have to use the same slicer settings, similar room conditions, make sure that you have the same filament roll (assuming it’s an FDM printer), make sure that nothing hardware wise was tweaked (eg. fixing belt tension), make sure nothing software wise was tweaked (it’s nuts how much difference temp can make), make sure nothing firmware wise was tweaked, and the nozzle cant have had too many prints between the suspicious one and now (or like half of a glow in the dark or carbon fiber filled print).

Edit: and same print orientation, just turning the part direction in the slicer causes different artifacts, in extreme cases I’ve seen a part facing one way fail, but a quarter turn right or left prints flawlessly.

I can change what an individual print line looks like to the naked eye just by something as simple as tweaking temperature or print speed. Good luck getting anything remotely consistent intentionally by clever nozzle machining.

Also, nozzles are dead simple to make, it’s literally just a large drill bit (1.75mm diameter or so) with a smaller (.05mm to 1mm) drill poking the last bit through. Tip is slightly flattened off and away it goes.

Also, as someone else said, nozzles are a wear item, it’s like trying to track a car down by the brake pads, or a pencil down by the shape of the lead at the tip, using it changes the characteristics of it.

At work, cant watch.

Does it still have a 5,000 mAh long life camera?

We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx

Something something pass the butter.

As said elsewhere, you’re probably farther north, or in a larger city (or both) than them. Where I am I can get away with about 4 words. Even just a day’s drive south starts to test my patience.

"Dear ICE,

We will be arriving somewhere between 73 hours and 5,200 hours from now. Please prepare accordingly.
