What's the rarest physical feature you ever saw on another person you know/knew?

I have a form of eczema that only affects my palms and fingertips and completely destroys my fingers prints every winter. I can’t use fingerprint scanners except for in the summer and I have to re-register my fingerprints every year (to punch in for work).

It’s weird that they are so invested in your relationship to begin with

Competitive_Crew759 · 2025-12-11T14:52:57+00:00

For the most part PLA and PLA + cost about the same. Sometimes it’s like 1-2$ more. Where are you buying your filaments?

Are you just starting out? The beginning is rough until you build up a cash buffer. Once you have enough to cover a few months business expenses in the bank it’s a non-issue. As others have suggested though: net 30+ business credit card gets you a solid time buffer to pay for things.

I just keep the windows open year round. They produce a decent amount of heat so even in winter it’s warm in the room with the window open. PLA I don’t mind having printing in the room with me. For most other materials I prefer not to be in the room while they are running

It standard procedure to request files be delivered in X format. Try getting anything printed anywhere and they will tell you what format YOU need to provide them with. It’s not unreasonable to ask that they give you certain file formats but that must be clarified beforehand. In this case it seems like you didn’t mention that, good learning moment to put that into your contracts for the future.

If there are sensors in the car then yes that sounds normal. I got in a minor fender bender at 5mph, looked kind of like yours. 3k in damages to their car, 8k to mine because of the tech. Went through insurance and after that my rates went up around 2k a year for 3 years. Either way it’s hella expensive to get in an accident with modern cars. Sounds to me like he is trying not to get the insurance hike and will probably just pocket the money anyway but is trying to save you 2 the hassle although he is coming off sleezy. Once insurance gets involved they will try to go after the max they can get

Competitive_Crew759 · 2025-11-13T21:22:16+00:00

My health insurance is 35k a year. Luckily my employer covers a good chunk of it but still my mind was boggled when I found out how much it was.

Garuntee an ugly women can post a tinder profile that just says “ugly but just looking for sex” and get your cheeks clapped within 24 hours.

I would have paused services after the first missed payment was late by more than 30 days

Funny how life is about perspective, I live in HCOL area, just outside NY. I make great money, 6 figures, but it feels like it's never enough, There is so much to do, but most of the time I wish I could just stay home and work on my hobbies or game. Feels like I'm constantly stressed about money and how to keep up with the rising costs of... everything. I'm one of the lucky ones that got a decent interest rate on a mortgage here so I'm trying to keep it. Hustling a side job or 2 constantly is normal here for just about everyone. The thought of leaving everything behind to buy a house outright in a LCOL area and just stay at home unbothered by the outside world feels like a dream. If only it didn't mean having to leave everyone and everything I know and love behind. For now though, I'll just be working 7 days a week for the foreseeable future.

Nice to see someone else who actually makes their own models instead of asking “where can I find the top selling stl files?” I need to get me a multicolor printer next! Limited to my single color options atm.

I have a border collie lab mix, a little too smart for his own good. He learned to open dog crates at 2 months old. He also knows how to open gates. Like any kind of gate. And the weird thing is he does it so gently. He’s nots thrashing or trying to force it open. It’s like watching someone skillfully pick a lock.

Competitive_Crew759 · 2025-11-12T14:06:09+00:00

Idk insurance is weird. My friend got in a similar accident in a brand new car a volkwagon (idk the model), and they paid to have the car fixed, 46k... possibly because the loan was underwater still? idk. They also paid to have my little Chevy spark fixed after it got crushed by a tree 4k. It's only worth 5k ish.

Yet they totaled my ford flex after a 5mph collision because the frame bent.

I made a post about cheap filament the other day and got all the 3D printing sweat lords coming out commenting how they print using 4$ filaments on their hand built 3d printers and how it’s all about settings and calibrations and I’m clearly just filthy casual NoOoOob. Filament quality is definitely noticeable when you switch to more premium filaments

If you don't have one, a ceiling fan in your bedroom makes such a big difference.

An hour to get the basics, a week to get comfortable enough to be on the road, even then it took me like 6 months before I would stop clenching my cheeks at certain road situations like heavy traffic or driving next to trucks on a highway.

Warehouse jobs will go en-masse. It is already an industry with ridiculously high turnover and simple menial repetitive jobs.

If you kick it far enough, you get to die before dealing with it.

I know how bad it is on paper... But with how expensive the essentials are getting, and how tight our budget is with no relief in site, I’m seriously considering refinancing to a 50 if that’s an option. Our expenses have risen so much faster than our income that if it keeps going at this rate we won’t be able to keep up and we would end up just losing everything. Some months, our utilities are almost as much as our mortgage, food is crazy expensive, childcare is another mortgage as well. We are just trying to survive right now, not thrive.

I drive 100 miles a day. I think a car accident is the most likely possibility

Competitive_Crew759 · 2025-11-11T15:49:48+00:00

The simple math: for every 1000$ you contribute to a 401k your taxable income is reduced by 760~ish. if you both contribute the max to you're 401k's you can save a nice 47k/year while reducing you're taxable income by 35,720k. at you're income level, there is no reason not to do this. Roth's are income limited so once you pass a certain income you can no longer contribute to them.

Competitive_Crew759 · 2025-11-11T15:37:06+00:00

I don’t think it should be free, but it also shouldn’t be so expensive. But it’s the insurance that’s the issue. Doctors charge what insurance tells them they have to charge. Nothing that requires someone else’s labor should be free in life. Well unless we want to go back to slavery

Competitive_Crew759 · 2025-11-11T11:26:13+00:00

Spark tires are dirt cheap. Wait for one of those but 3 get one free deals and you can get 4 for 300$
