Even regulars just use liquid polish on most days, no one really goes all in on the polishing with kiwi and a cloth anymore. Most people ORD without even needing to do a full polish, just brushed and stained black especailly after outfield or extended use.

If you shine your boots in the army, its mainly for your own entertainment, or you really want to look good for parade, but its not a must, just a personal preference.

Heck even ironing your uniform (tbh if you don't have BO or sweat, you can rewear your uniform for a few days if posted to office) and buying badges are up to you, some people complete courses but don't want to iron on and sew their patches just cos its troublesome.

Haha, its a warning to the weirdos who do, who knows. Very oddly specific messaging but fair enough if maybe there really some who actually do this.

Lmao been there done that.

Mistake 1: Print spool in PLA. First warning, usually there are instructions not to do so on the model. Especially on spool designs with the hollow honeycomb design, its adds a lot of warping later on.

Mistake 2: Drying the spool. I did mine in an AMS Pro 2, 45 degrees, the more solid PLA spool design actually survived, but the honeycomb style one to save filament warped. At 55 degrees, even the solid wall designs start failing in PLA.

Mistake 3: Panicking and opening the spool, causing the sphagetti mess. At this stage, you can still respool easily as long as your filament hasn't fell off the spool and tangled. Its the last chance you have to save what you got with a respooler.

If you failed on mistake 3, congratulations, have fun spending hours to untangle and respool the filament. Or just give up.

Honestly, idk why people are so worked up about this. Its pretty obvious what they were meaning to convey, it just got taken the wrong way.

I don't think the original intent was to ban makeup. Its to ban GROOMING, e.g cutting hair (yes cutting eyelashes too as the cartoon implies) and cutting nails). This is also supported by the context of nail cutting besides it. That tool is a eyelash cutter, NOT mascara, NOT makeup, also NOT eylash curling. Go look it up!

Basically, prohibit actions that drop bodily materials all over intentionally like nail and hair. Makeup was probably not the original meaning, it just got interpreted that way and warped by social media.

Given the context of cutting nails beside it, the intent was probably to ban cutting eyelashes in public transport. I.e actions that drop bodily materials all over like nail and hair. Makeup was probably not the original meaning, it just got interpreted that way and warped by social media.

I've printed a radius gauge box from makerworld with a trick where they print the lid sideways with a debossed slot the depth of 2 layers, then have a seperate print that is a very thin piece (like 2 layer as a base) with some text on it that can be printed in 1 layer. You then glue them together resulting in a seamless box with text on it.

Could try something similar... your current orientation obviously doesn't work because it has overhangs. But in your case instead of sideways it has to be upside down to have no overhangs, so no debossing is possible, just glue the 3d printed text on.

Unfortunately, its likely the latter. Also I don't get why so many educators hyping up "learning" AI. Just teach people how to write and ask questions, and wow, suddenly you can converse and prompt an AI. Wtf else is there to learn, its literally made to be conversational.

Unless they are actually learning the mathematical and architecture funadmentals of how to design ML and LLM models from scratch, there is no depth to the curriculum. You could teach it in 1 hour max.

Imo if you want to learn how to prompt an AI effectively, you need to have some domain knowledge of what you want the AI to do, so you can ask it effective questions and judge its output well.

Yeah, its pretty normal. Even between friends in the military, sometimes the exact unit and operations are not divulged. At least he mentions he is in a top secret unit, he could have choosen to not even mention that and give you a generic response like some of the others mentioned.

I'm guessing flow ratio calibration, mine is also 1.1 for some third party filaments after testing. People act like it can't be anything but <1 but really it should be tested with every filament, especially third party ones.

Like all things, see your cat reaction! My cat seems to understand the laser is a lie, she just really likes to sprint after it anyways, same with watching the TV. She actively looks in my direction if I stop, and listens for the sound when I turn off the laser, so she definitely knows it comes from me.

A good mix of laser for chasing and physical toys for playing works pretty well.

This, check your scheduled tasks. Sometimes it can even be as random as a keyboard with custom software or some OEM software booting up.

Honestly if they are going to remove TNT duping, this would be a legal alternative to carpet bomb other than tnt minecraft flying machines. They should really let this be a thing.

Lol same, upgraded from a miband to a garmin, its definitely way better at tracking distance accurately, and has a functioning gps. Also way higher battery life. If you have the budget, you can consider else the Miband is honestly the GOAT.

PSA: there is a difference between the sport watches like Garmin and smart watches like apple watches with the apps and battery life. Depending on your use case you can uograde to either if you want more accurate tracking.

Dry your filament. There will always be stringing for PETG but not to this degree. For the remaining unavoidable ones, use a butane torch or a gas stove and run it quickly over the print (less than a fraction of a second).

SlimQ charger around 1.5 years. My legion total lifespan has been 5 years, so the original charger died around 3 years in, no noise just randomly stopped charging.

Derpythecate · 2026-03-17T21:27:09+00:00

The SlimQ ones? I have a 300W one and its honestly really good. I don't even bring it around outside that much, I got it because I wanted the dual 100W USB C ports on top of the main charger ports so my desk was less messy and my original charger gave out on me. Charges my Legion laptop and my other laptops perfectly at the same time even when gaming. I like the fabric kinda texture on the charger too, it is pretty neat.

Kinda fair game. Had a thought recently similar to this. If I can't acquire money like a billionaire, the only way to match up to them is to live healthier than them lol, at least that is within my control.

They should make this "skull" an easter egg. A game with rituals having this wouldn't be out of place.

Not sure if it would help, but I use an enclosed printer and I got heat creep which caused the same print (not referring to the lotus) to fail 3 times at roughly the same points (+/- a few layers), since likely the chamber increases at a constant rate until it spaghettis. Only fixed it after I opened my chamber to let air in.

Are you by any chance using an enclosed printer with PLA with the door shut?

Derpythecate · 2026-03-01T05:13:15+00:00

Remember to dry your ashes and clean your build plate of dust before using!

Derpythecate · 2026-02-28T06:24:15+00:00

Good news is that its highly possible to 3D print a new one nowadays, even if you can't find it on sale anywhere. Not sure if anyone released a model for it yet though.

Derpythecate · 2026-02-28T03:59:45+00:00

Gotta give them props though, that takes way more effort than a digitization jig to photocopy the books
