I don't believe there is such a thing as being "fiscally conservative and socially liberal." Any time I hear someone say that, I assume they are full of shit and vote Republican, but don't want someone to think they're a POS.

Damn that's fucked up. Glad that the authorities realized he didn't do anything wrong, but that's still gotta be traumatic as hell for him and his family.

Texting 911 that you're dying is the most Gen Z thing I've ever heard of.

I just tried holding the power button down on my android and it doesn't reboot the phone. I think they got rid of that feature and replaced it with opening up the useless Google Assistant crap.

Apparently it's a Spanish thing. From the article someone posted below (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/amateur-restorer-botches-carving-spain-180976271/)

Spanish law currently allows amateurs to repair historic artworks—a fact that has led many conservation experts to argue for tighter regulations in the industry.

Do you have a source on that 65 year old thing? I haven't been able to find anything about it. Everything I've read recently keeps mentioning that the shooter made the donation.

Doesn't it kind of feel as if this has reached some sort of end game here? Previously, it has always felt like - yeah, they play dirty, but they keep their bullshit contained to reasonable levels. But recently, it's just been one absolute blatantly democracy-shattering decision one after another.

If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Q3 2026 will come around and the AI will report that revenues are down. The CEO will respond the only way they know, by ordering that costs be cut by laying off employees. The AI will report there is no one left to lay off but the CEO.

Fade to black and credits roll.

Crooks was registered as a Republican and was in active voting status, according to the database service LexisNexis. He appears to have attended Bethel Park High School, graduating in 2022.

Wtf he just graduated high school a couple years ago? When I think of an attempted assassin, I don't picture someone who can't go into a bar to buy a beer.

Dry your filament! (sh.itjust.works)
 

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.
