Gotta know your audience.

You state that animals are expressing wants and needs, not emotions, then ask questions that can only be answered by “we don’t know”.

I’d sooner think you do not know the former, either.

I’d greatly appreciate a miraculous panacea for my rheumatoid arthritis, especially one available at turmeric’s price point. I’ve gone through a gamut of biologics that my immune system builds resistance against. Rinvoq’s doing pretty good at taking the edge off currently, but I still flare up if triggered. It’s also running a $6,000 wholesale a month… thank [deity] for insurance and copay assistance.

Delicious food is great, but alleviating my pain and fatigue during an RA flare? Manna from heaven.

Well, what’s out there?

I’ll do that. Should I be using the “Ender-3 4.2.2 mainboard (32bit)” firmware? I’ve read that the Marlin firmware isn’t compatible with the GD CPUs, so I’m assuming the “Ender-3Marlin2.0.6HW4.2.2GD” won’t work.

Update: support got back to me, with instructions to reflash using the latter firmware. The symptoms changed: during the firmware “upgrade”, the 05 LED flashes about once a second. I let it run for ten minutes, but the printer never rebooted. Powered it off, removed the SD card, powered it back on… Still nothing but a blue display, though the 05 LED keeps blinking once a second.

I’m thinking it’s a bad motherboard. Waiting on support, now.

I’ve got a laptop running Linux on it; connected it up at some point during my time with it. The laptop was able to see the USB to serial adapter, but I didn’t poke at it to see if anything was talking on the other side. I’ll try that today!

Checked for that, too. Both the original panel and the replacement only have one “port” for the cable on the back. The board has spots for two more to be connected, but both are missing. Looking at the front of the panel (as if I’m using it), the port is the left most of the three.

Just the basic Ender 3, I believe. No version number, so implied v1. Not a Pro, SE, or other appendment to the model.

That’s next on my list, if the replacement panel doesn’t fix the issue. Figured I’d go with the obvious solution first. Doesn’t help that I took a long look at the list of the firmware available for the Ender 3, and figured I’d cross that bridge another day. Creality does not make it simple to identify what’s what.

I picked up an inexpensive “open box - brand new” Ender 3 just after Christmas. Figured it was cheap enough to give up if I didn’t like it, with enough open routes to tweak and improve if I stuck with it.

The display panel shows only a blue screen after assembly,though. Oddly enough, the only part not sealed perfectly (in its antistatic bag) was the panel. Packing slip noted it had been previously returned as it was “ordered by mistake.” Got a feeling the prior owner swapped the panel out with a defective one, then returned it. Waiting on a replacement to ship out as a result.

The IDF has a long tradition of using excessive force and not caring about collateral damage and deaths of innocent civilians. I don’t believe that’s changed overnight. https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/06/04/israel-50-years-occupation-abuses

I suppose Hamas was hiding behind this Palestinian, too? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/video-appears-show-cheers-israeli-sniper-shoots-palestinian

The way I see it, claiming Hamas is hiding behind citizens is just an excuse for the IDF to murder two Palestinians for every Hamas fighter, without stressing their conscience: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk/index.html

The blood of innocents is on their hands and people like you, supporting them. Hamas, the IDF, the Israeli government… All murderers or complicit thereof.

If Israeli wasn’t murdering Palestinians regularly, there would be no need for such an app. Imagine that.
