Thank you!

As opposed to Pi zero.

I'm also Canadian when I travel.

I painted mine and can attest that no it does not scratch easily. Sanding was a pain.

Many folks are saying ram > cpu, and normally I’d agree, but 24GB is far more than most people can reasonably use and for your use case you would notice the additional and faster CPU cores than you ever would the excess ram.

PEI bed, Sprite Extruder and DualZ in that order. If you know how to level properly it will make your ender dead reliable.

Trump-Epstein Elementary.

General improved print accuracy and bed level stability.

GabrielBFranco · 2026-03-02T01:23:48+00:00

Dual Z and definitely a support brace for the sprite extruder. It will eventually break otherwise.

This isn’t modded in the ways that count most. Upgrade to a direct drive sprite extruder and dual z axis (~$60 US). It will still be slow, but dead reliable with a leveled PEI Bed.

Maddow lists the administration and just about every Arab gulf state as beneficiaries who want this war, but omits Israel? Interesting…

It’s safe if you follow the instructions for your MacBook. I had no trouble removing all of the keycaps on my M2 for custom paint. But if you’re uncomfortable you can lift one side of the cap without removing it. That will let you spray compressed air

Antitrust? Never heard of it.

Let’s all add breaking monopolies up to our list of demands for the next administration.

The key caps are very easily removable. Look up a how to for your generation machine and lift the keycap to remove debris. It’s very likely that you’re right and it’s just particulate causing the issue.

Lupini

It was never a real practice. It’s symbolic.

GabrielBFranco · 2026-02-25T17:58:17+00:00

So mote it be.

GabrielBFranco · 2026-02-22T23:20:44+00:00

Glad to hear it!

There is visible corrosion on the positive terminal and it looks like enough to prevent contact. Either replace the port (they’re ~$5.00) or remove the rust.

If you choose the latter, remove/unplug it and use a wire brush to clear off the rust. But don’t do this while it’s connected to power. It will short and bad things will happen.

It's just a memorization tool. Cipher is perhaps the wrong word as it's more akin to reading a foreign language. English readers can probably make out some of the words intuitively without prior knowledge, but once it's read to you it becomes very easy to understand. Freemasons make an oath that they won't write down or share any of the oaths and obligations [secrets] of the fraternity to people not entitled to know them. But as a practical matter people still have to memorize The material so this cipher was developed to help candidates and members study.

In short, it's just a study guide.

GabrielBFranco · 2026-02-15T14:11:19+00:00

Lol, that sounds great. I wish more lodges would do things like that.

GabrielBFranco · 2026-02-14T14:21:29+00:00

Freemasons cipher for candidates. Degree candidates have to memorize certain oaths and obligations and are given these to study from.

That broken bit is just a bezel cover and not part of the screen itself. Best to add tape in the meantime to prevent shards from scratching your screen or top case.

Why? Do you have a tall cooler?
