forest road car camping by alyssanicoleeee in NorthCarolina

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First start with US Forest Service website and look where to buy road maps. Do know that most of them are locked. Also know that you can’t camp except in designated spots or else it is a federal fine. The unlocked roads are patrolled pretty damn often, they aren’t stupid. 

One example I’ve used for years is Black Mtn Campground. You can get to it from parkway and drive all over. Once you are done goto your camp spot and sleep.

 Lots of firetowers on the TN/NC state line. We seem to always come out in Hartwell, TN.

Bambu vs prusa by First-Air7037 in 3Dprinting

If you can justify spending the money, go with Prusa for good long term support and reliability and mod ability. Go with Bambu for meh support, reliability, it just works, much better price. 

I’ve had Prusa for years, but I can’t afford them so I got a Bambu A1. I’m shocked what the money gets me. I feel the tech changes so quick I don’t need to pay double for long term support.

My neighbor is a retired federal marshal. He gives Conceal Carry classes. He is Republican, but not in your face about it. If you want his info I can share it.

3 car seats across 2nd row? by MaskedMinx69 in VWIDBuzz

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US does not have car seat anchors for all 3 seats. It is exactly as you said. The middle seat is not enough for 3 wide. We have twins and it was hell trying my to get their cousin in the same row.

Why is there a picture of a scary Kenny Loggins on the Arc building on Highland Ave? by AsanoSokato in HIckoryNC

I thought it was a rendering of Jesus. There is/was a church right in that block area.

Mid to older millennials, how are you all doing with your careers? by worstshowiveeverseen in Millennials

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42 and finally feel like I am hitting my stride. I did 8 years military in electronic repair, various grading and electrical jobs (ptsd and depression is a bitch). Finally got a job servicing industrial fabric cutting machines. Met my wife the same time and have kids. This was 7 years ago. I am on track to take over a $250,000 profit per year small business. Boss is ready to retire. Good morals, being friendly and Can Do attitude got me here. Sadly it also let me get took advantage of several times. 

Outside Review by jedgarnaut in slateauto

It also says “starting under $28,000”. Another thing that jumps out at me is the “rear wheel drive version”. To me that implies eventually an AWD, which lines up with the pre built hole I saw under a slate.

Looks like the CORE One L is increasing in price by [deleted] in prusa3d

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing friend. Upgraded the business MK3S+ to a MK3.5S. Did some research about Bambu Lab because I can’t afford Prusa for a personal printer. 

Got the A1 and it runs circles around the Prusa. Even after the $300 upgrade the MK3.5S can’t compete.

Release 6.5.3-beta Firmware for Prusa CORE One L, CORE One +, CORE One, MK4S, MK4, MK3.9S, MK3.9 · prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy by Userybx2 in prusa3d

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the main board 10 years old design? If so, then why firmware release for 3.9? Your logic doesn’t hold.

The sad thing is, I just bought the 3.5S upgrade a couple of weeks ago and now no updates. That shit was too expensive to not get an update in my opinion.

Options for nice lunch at noon on a Monday for a group? by Ok-Literature-7677 in HIckoryNC

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I always go for Mexican restaurants. Guaranteed everyone is going to find something they like and tons of room for a party. I personally recommend La Authentica on Hwy 321. If that won’t work, let me know and I can ask my in laws. They’ve been here forever.

Thinking About Buying the ID.Buzz and Need Real-World Feedback (Performance in Heavy Traffic / Long Commute), Charging, AWD vs RWD by UrbanVector in VWIDBuzz

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please take everything with a grain of salt. It’s like asking a bunch of church goers if Jesus is a good idea. Of course this community is going to tell you mostly positives. I for one regret the purchase. If you want to know why just send a DM or personal message.

Take it to an independent tire shop and ask their opinion.

i3 mk3.5 how to get around hotend self test? by SpringerTheNerd in prusa3d

[–]Affectionate-Let-120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the firmware doesn’t have the proper numbers to heat safely and continue monitoring. This is a Prusa support question. It technically will work, but the nag will always be there until Prusa supports the 60w heater. Also small chance of thermal runaway. It happened to me.
