I can’t believe it’s been 100 days, why is time flying by?? I love your posts, keep them coming!

It probably has moisture, dry it in an old food dehydrator from goodwill or get a filament dryer.

Multi-Color Printing!!!

Like chocolate? I would love a food safe 3d printer to print chocolate. Just sayin’

Did you consider your privacy invaded any more after the third time than the first?

You are never going to cross a border anonymously. The extra checks are to prevent people crossing borders under a false identity. If you are travelling under your own identity, then you are no less private than you ever were. They’re just taking extra precautions to prevent people from using false identities.

I actually store all of my filament (that isn’t loaded into my AMSes) in a large antique wooden steamer trunk (like a pirate chest). It’s massive, and can hold dozens and dozens of spools. Wood is breathable and absorbs moisture, but also allows it to evaporate out into the room (whereas plastic bins trap it inside). I keep a bunch of dessicant inside, and I’ve never had a problem with filament humidity. The filaments I commonly use are always loaded up in my 4 Bambu AMSes. In there, I have extra dessicant pods with reusable dessicant beads.

Consoles are easy, and I love my PS5 for chilling and playing games, and I love my Linux PC for its power and freedom from corporate bullshit.

It feels like PS3 was the biggest leap in technology. I loved my PS3, and had a ton of games for it. Since then it’s been incremental, faster loading times, incrementally better graphics, and such. The PS5 makes loading screens on Bethesda games tolerable to me

Excellent! Thank you!

How can you buy things with monero? What merchants (online or in person) accept it?

Yes absolutely. I’m sure the hobby hasn’t paid for itself, but I never expected it to. It has been worth it because of the amount of happiness I have spread with personalized gifts and a feeling of satisfaction when I make a print to fix something around the house or make life a little easier or more convenient. The little toys and doo-dads are great and the kids love them too.

This is color 😉

When I search YouTube for GNU Taler, it gives me the same video with the same timestamp on the red bar. (273 seconds) It’s not where I stopped watching it, I’ve never watched it. It’s just the part of the video where they start talking about GNU Taler.

Unless I’m missing something, the timestamp in the URL (t=273s) jumps the video to 273 seconds into the video. The link itself is what remembers where to start the video.

Ok, I’ll give you that. But don’t you agree there are certain aspects of privacy one must forego to live in a modern society?

I was being facetious to make a point. There is a limit to the amount of privacy that one can achieve while still residing within a modern society. As with all things, it’s a personal choice. Everyone has a limit up to which they are comfortable surrendering their privacy. You can be tracked and recorded even walking the streets in many cities, and in most retail stores. How far is one willing to go to be private?

They have cameras in the bookstores with facial recognition

I use both. I have the PS5 upstairs, and the PS4 down in the family room. I can remote play the PS5 from downstairs, which is nice. And the PS Portal is nice when I’m taking a sh…

This wouldnwork better on smaller scale, less traveled rural routes. Maintaining a whole ass train for a few dozen people is overkill. I kinda like this.
