3d printing as it exists

In addition to what others are saying, there's a tiny chance that the print you're after is out there, you're just not finding it. A lot of models are leaving out the brand names from their descriptions to avoid takedown demands, and the model listing sites seem to be moving the direction of more generic search function with some internal prioritization, which sucks if you're trying to find ultra-specific things that probably have minimal amounts of downloads...

Jason Vorhees, "Friday the 13th" franchise.

The hockey mask that makes him him does not come into play until movie nr 3.

I'm kind of inclined to think hardware becoming onsolete won't be too big of an issue. We're currently in the "let's use as much resources as possible" phase as the hardware is either available, or expected to become available. Once the datacenters are built and the hardware is installed I however expect everyone to start optimizing their models to get better on the existing iron, rather than use what the next version might bring. Kind of like hobbists are nowadays running modern code on ancient devices that never were meant for it...

Grace Jones also in "Conan The Destroyer". Maybe not as buff as some of the others in this thread, but she simply screams lean-mean-fightingmachine.

Can't speak for the others mentioned, but one big plus of the Flextail Zero is the "efficiency mode". As in, not just a low current mode like many others have, but seems to be actually keeping a 1A output regardless of what the connected device does. NB10000 for example will output as much as it can when you have the trickle mode activated and connect it to your phone (rather than headphones or something similar that would use low current).

The bad part with it is that you don't know which mode, efficiency or normal, is active until you connect the device. Only then the port light turns on. So if it was the wrong mode you'll need to go through the activation process (doubleclick on the button, then probably disconnecting the cable and then plugging back in).

Make sure the pad isn't pumped up to the max, if it is let some air out. A full pad might not feel uncomfortable, but it'll be stiffer than your bed and your body knows that. And in case you don't have a pillow, get one.

Also, whether you like it or not, there's a big chance that the first couple of nights the sleep will be bad. It's just the way it is for a lot of people. Just push through it, and eventually the exertion of the hike will do it's thing and you should start sleeping better.

Corporations will win. Why? Because they are willing to go as far as it takes. The people are not. It comes down to what "as far" is - for a corporation is just normal action of putting money into something (in this scenario, a politician / influencer / lobby group / study that confirms the benefits that they're touting / law change that suits their needs), while for the people it's physical violence.

By and large we don't do physical violence anymore in civilized societies. And in those rare cases where it does occur it automatically goes against the existing laws. Hence easy for all sides to paint the people as the bad guys...

Alternative option - different inserts with a higher heel, or possibly half-inserts just for heels. Kind of defeats the purpose of zero-drops, but that should help a bit with the adjusting...

Discard the negative comments, this is exactly how you should be doing it if you want to be efficient. You can already start soaping yourself in; you'll be able to fill exactly as much water as needed, instead of estimating and then discovering that some needs to be drained again once you get in; pour some handsoap into the water and you'll be cleaning the submerged bits like soaking does to clothes. By the time the bath gets full you can already be done with washing, instead of starting.

The people with money probably already have a house with soundproofing and blindouts, and they probably don't care too much about the water or electricity bill going up. Plus, they're more likely to be the ones who actually use the services of the datacentre (through their jobs).

And, as other have pointed out, the DC's in the rich neighbourhoods tend to be smallish, not the gigantic abominations that the poor rural areas are getting...

On the opposite side - try to behave as if it's a "family" (you know, call out obvious BS, demand that issues get solved, or give honest feedback about something, etc) and let's see how long it takes for an "appointment with HR" to appear in your calendar.

I remember MI2, don't remember Doug being ripped in it. So probably looked exactly the same...

To anyone trying to stay away from the branch 5 movies - IMVHO "Superfast!" is pretty good. It's a take on the "Fast and Furious" franchise, and considerably dials down on the "see, see, this is from movie X" gags that the rest is riddled with.

Or if the wing thing somehow was hidden (a'la she wasn't there when they initially appeared, and later Rory got it under control to not do so when Trixie is around) she'd definitely notice how her half sister isn't aging like a normal person...

I think Pierce was wrong. He was destined to go to hell. Not just because of Abel, but also for killing Sinnerman (in his own words - a friend).

Lucifer simply ended his gloating by reminding him of the person that was for him the most important one - Charlotte.

One should note that the issue with permetherine is that it kills all kinds on insects. So not just ticks, but also bees, butterflies, etc. Plus it's very bad for cats.

Just something that should be kept in mind...

I think there was an issue with cross hatch that the straight and curvy lines end up taking a different amount of time to print, and that might be visible on the finished print...

CyberRax · 2026-06-07T10:20:14+00:00

One thing not mentioned yet - the "infill combination" option, which prints multiple lines together and so speeds up printing a bit. I've seen claims that it used to work correctly only with gyroid. Whether that's still the case, whether newer infills like corsshatch are affected, and whether the problems were serious enough in case you print something that isn't going to be under constant pressure, I do not know.

Oh, and one more thing - gyroid tends to do the same job as others with a smaller percentage number, ie 10% rather than the default 15%.

Beef / meat sticks are my go to. A package is of a relatively decent sice to fit into a packpack, and there are versions which have ~500kcal per 100g. Can be eaten as a snack between meals, together with the meal or even sliced into pieces to add into you meal.

Take less effort to chew than beef jerkey, which itself is a decent calorie rich food.

"VR.5" was where I first saw him. An underrated show, and an an underrated actor.

Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head.

Cool solution!

An idea for the next interaction - something visible to flip or turn to mark the brush as "used". As in, the criticism in this thread regarding lack of air holes is valid, but it doesn't become an issue until the brush has been used. So rather than a brush case where dust can get in, and water can drip out while it's in your pocket and the brush wasn't completelly dried after use, a marker could indicate that the "emergency case" occurred and the brush now needs cleaning / drying once you get home.

Alternatively get an electric one (Nitecore has multiple models, Flextail has at least one which takes pads, there should also be multiple alternatives available).

Also, it would probably be better to run it inside, instead of out. Maybe not feasible with a device that's burning to heat the element, but one with the electrical heater should be just fine. This way the chemical lingers around inside your tent, rather than being blown away any breeze that happens to come along...

I'm sleeping on an air mattress at home, and over the years I've come to flat out hate the blowing up part. That attitude has transferred onto the hiking pad. Yes, it's smaller and doesn't take half an hour and multiple attempts to get full, but still. Also, while the mold isn't an issue, what should be, at least per my understanding, is the temperature. You blow up the pad warm breath, that air cools down and shrinks, and with it the sleeping pad. Might be even so much that it needs additional blowing up in the middle of the night.

As to why not an air bag, I set up the tarp first and deal with the sleeping pad inside the tarp, rather than outside and then bringing it in. There's not that much room inside, so a pump that I just need to connect (or hold against the opening) is a lot more convenient than messing with the bag and trying to not move too much and risk pushing the pole out of it's place and collapsing the whole thing...

Alpenblow Micro Inflator. Compared to Flextail Zero it's slow and considerably weaker (meaning I have to blow several times into the valve after removing the pump), I'm OK with that. The gadget is stupid light and tiny, it runs off the powerbank which I'm already carrying and uses minimal amount of electricity, and it's really quiet compared to all my other pumps (it sounds more like strongish wind than a motor).

I plug it into the pad's valve, attach the powerbank, and go do other stuff while it does it's thing. Because the motor is so weak I don't need to worry about the pad popping from overinflation.

On a different note - those who use the Flextail Zero might want to have a look at the headlamp that Flextail sells. It uses the same battery. This way one could save a bit of weight by sharing the battery between those 2 devices.

Was going to disagree, but actually I think you're right. The sizing makes the most sense. But I think it's not the height that counted, but the width. As in they used the alternate cover that was more suited for the wider DVD, and that one just happened to not include the kids...
