This was not what I thought it was going to be when I initially downloaded it. Unfortunately it's existence is just an example of the stuff that exists within the broader topic of 'anime' which hinders wider acceptance. I really wish it existed under its own category somehow; as people point to this any time someone mentions the topic - and it's embarrassing on a wider scale, as it's mostly shut-ins and incels which enjoy this kind of thing. The fact that it's getting a second season is only testament to the growing social problems that exist on a wider scale.

LG WebOS doesn't have good support for things like Jellyfin. If you want to ever build a library of media and let them have easy access to it, then WebOS is gonna suck, so will Samsung's Tizen. But all the Android TVs have access.

Don't know if you're interested in that kind of thing, but figured I'd share it in case it was a factor.

The only other alternative is a commercial display.

I low-key love this. I usually put on the lane assist and cruise control and just kinda zone out and vibe to the music I've got on.

I had my comment removed because the mods of world news, don't like me pointing out that this is literally the same as Russia and China meddling in US affairs.

You know the problem I have with Librewolf? -- Fuckall nobody knows how to spell it.

The beauty of Firefox is that even the densest idiot knows how to spell those two words. And with attention spans the equivalent of a gnat, people need to have things simplified for them as much as humanly possible.

Fortunately enough, Firefox is about the only one with a renderer that isn't controlled by Google, but - even now they're shifting to a pro-advertising stance and backing off of the privacy orientation that they took just a year or two ago.

Science should strive to be separate from society. The purest idea of science is that it is simply the true observational facts about the world. Testable, and reproducible by others. We shouldn't strive to include more emotions in scientific discovery, we should strive to exclude it. Science isn't a religion. It doesn't require 'belief' or anything of the sort. It is simply discovery, and it should remain that way.

Yeah, nobody could see this coming from a mile away...nobody! /s

These 'carbon sinks' that have all sprung up basically overnight are all a bunch of bullshit. They're going to give everyone sparkling groundwater, and trade off the 'carbon credits' for real money, and nobody is ever going to question it.

Abstract Goatse?

Absolutely on the K1. Nobody should be buying it. Only time I ever recommend them -- is when referring to the K1 Max. And that's only when people want: A - To Print Fast, and B - Something larger than Bambu. But I'm starting to move toward suggesting the SV08 if I can see they are at least a little bit technical.

The normal K1? Forget it. Don't buy it.

Nothing I am saying is even close to the term Newspeak. Newspeak is controlled language, simplified grammar, and limited vocabulary designed to limit a persons ability for critical thinking.

But I'm not limiting your ability to think critically, I'm trying to expand it. Yet, not only are you failing to think more critically here, you're actively avoiding it by tossing out accusations and making jokes. Likely because you've already decided that you're "right" (whatever the fuck THAT is in this context, since we agree) and that you're going to fight whatever you're perceiving as an...attack?

In short - yes, it would informally be a declaration of war - because they don't call it that now. I'm just pointing out the second half is all.

Creality isn't a bad company, they're just hindered by the ignorant. The Ender 3, the baseline, old 8 bit model - was a perfectly fine machine if you knew what needed to be tight, and what didn't.

The new 3v3 SE is a wonderful machine at like $180 with direct drive, magnetic PEI bed, dual Z screws, and the works. It doesn't require all the knowledge that the old versions did. It's a perfectly fine beginner machine.

The problem with Creality is just that everyone bought one as an enthusiast, so they told all the non-enthusiasts it was a great machine, and without that same level of knowledge, those people fell HARD. In doing so, they returned and claimed that creality machines were garbage. But they really weren't. As far as bottom-of-the-barrel budget machines go, they were pretty alright.

The Elegoo Neptune 4's are pretty good. Avoid Anycubic FDM machines, but their Resin printers are good. Avoid Dremel; their nozzles are literally a smaller MK10 nozzle from 12 years ago with nichrome wire wrapped around it. They are unserviceable. Nozzle clogs, and you just buy a $35 replacement everything. Avoid XYZPrinting. New-gen Creality is good for beginners in this new higher-expectation world. Old-gen Creality, don't even bother unless you're getting it for <$50 and know enough to repair it yourself. (Old Gen is Ender 3, CR-10, Ender 3 v2, Ender 3 Pro, anything with "Neo" in it. Yes, Ender 3 is a version number. Yes, Creality is basically calling their printer the Ender v3 v2. Only Ender worth getting is the Ender 3, v3 (SE, KE, etc)) - If you have the budget, the Creality K1 Max is really the only alternative to a Bambu if you need a larger build size. Possibly the Sovol SV08 - but as much as I love the Klipper team, it is NOT the most user friendly on that front. If you like techy-stuff, the SV08 isn't as polished as a Bambu, but may be worth the price/size ratio.

Ignore people telling you to print carbon fiber, most of them are idiots. Glow in the dark is also destructive to your machine, avoid that unless it's DAS filament (who ball-grind their glow powder, so it's not abrasive to brass nozzles and other softer parts of your machine).

Sovol machines are a pretty good Prusa-alternative. They cloned the machines quite well, and are much cheaper.

Stick with PLA for everything until you find a situation in which it fails. Move up to PETG after that. Don't get caught up in the "TPU Trap". Great, you can print a phone case. What are you going to do with the REST of the roll? TPU doesn't work in remote-drive systems. YES, some of us who are headstrong can force it to work, but generally just accept that it doesn't, and if you MUST use TPU, make sure you're using it on a direct drive machine. If you have an enclosed machine, feel free to move up to ABS/ASA, HIPS, and others. Be prepared for the stinky. They do smell like burning styrofoam depending on the mfg.

Anyone selling you a used machine - you are adopting their problem. They wouldn't be selling it to you otherwise. There is ALWAYS a problem. Buy new when possible. Also, though I HATE Jeff Bezos, get your shit from Amazon. It's not their product, and if it's defective, they're not going to give you the run-around in replacing it. I've seen lots of people even told to keep the old/busted machine (great for spare parts later!). Amazon don't give a shiiiiiiiiit. This isn't possible for some machines: Bambu for example. They just don't work with resellers.

And don't go getting the cheapest bullshit filament you can buy. Stay above the...eh...$18/spool range. Lower than that, and you start getting some crusty shit.

If you have pets - good...fucking....luck. Pet dander, and all the shit they add to the air, is cancer to 3D printers. There is not a single pet owner that I have met where they aren't constantly servicing their machine due to clogs.
