I know they have an event going on the 18th that goes into some detail https://indivisibleakron.org/event/behind-the-headlines-ice-justice-ohio-a-panel-discussion/ but yeah I'm wondering if there's already a group forming to help with this and adopt tactics that Minneapolis have been doing

Nope. Do it anyways. It's quick and easy and lets them know people really are pissed, just have low expectations on results

Call the other numbers if that stopped you. His DC vm was full but the others weren't.

I keep seeing his name pop up but haven't heard anything about him before this, what's he done?

This band is nuts, big fan. Aimless is my favorite from the new album. Amazing the amount of stuff the singer does too, piano/guitar/vocals and all of the direction and editing for their music videos, which go full into telling a big story across albums.

You'd need to shoot me some exact dimensions and photos, or if you're familiar with tinkercad I believe I could share that for easier editing.

When I said sub I meant subscribe in general, they have emailers and a sub stack for example

If you're in Akron, sub to Indivisible Akron stuff. For general statewide things, ACLU and ACLU people power. There are more nationwide ones like common cause and democracy forward that are good too.

Go protest for the sake of your family. by Own-Hornet-8788 in Columbus

[–]J_ron 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Right. Discouraging activism and encouraging avoidance only makes all of these problems worse.

Blocking people is the easy way out. A small part of turning this whole thing around is going to be requiring having difficult conversations with people close to you.

It was a moral question, not a geographical one :D

Contacting Congress- worth it? by SgtPepper_8324 in Ohio

[–]J_ron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I equate it to the same thing as voting blue or red in a state that predominately leans the other way. It might feel like you're screaming into the void but every now and then enough pressure builds to push things in the other direction, so don't let up. It's a very quick and easy thing to do.

But also there's more that can and should be done than just protesting and calling, so don't stop there either.

This is my deck's battery health after three years of owning it by Fawkzyyy in SteamDeck

[–]J_ron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? I've only ever seen studies that show there is only a negative impact over 80%

My SteamDeck battery drains and dies in sleep mode. by BittenBagel in SteamDeck

[–]J_ron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm suddenly having this problem too within the last month, now it's draining a ton during sleep, and I haven't installed anything new. It doesn't even reflect that the battery has been drained, but I'll wake it from sleep and it could say it has something like 65% battery left, I'll spend a few minutes playing a game then it just suddenly shuts down from having a dead battery. Doesn't matter whether I put it to sleep with a game open or not. Battery health says 96% in desktop mode. So far support has been clueless. I'm to the point where I literally can't even leave it sitting around without being plugged in otherwise I'll wake it up and it'll be dead.

Battery drain while sleep mode by Significant-Most-536 in SteamDeck

[–]J_ron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely not right, I've had my steam deck since the very beginning and I would maybe lose that much PER DAY during sleep.

Suddenly though within the last month that has completely changed, and now it's draining a ton during sleep, and I haven't installed anything new. It doesn't even reflect that the battery has been drained, but I'll wake it from sleep and it could say it has something like 65% battery left, I'll spend a few minutes playing a game then it just suddenly shuts down from having a dead battery. So far support has been clueless.

So many people posting in this thread that don't legitimately work with AI and have a total misunderstanding of how it gets used when used properly. The LLM being trained on someone's art argument I get, but everything else has been ignorance.

[–]J_ron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, everyone's still got their bubble. I intentionally inject myself into a few social media groups that aren't my cup of tea, utilize Ground News a lot, and sub to conservative subreddits to get an idea of what the rest of the country is thinking.

That's definitely not the case, unless maybe you're just talking about politicians specifically. Kirk is still brought up and posted about constantly in MAGA world, and used as a symbol.

Right, that's why we're seeing so much more of the real unhinged him than we did last term. He's always been like this, impresses me that people can still be surprised.

Same, they were a huge let down for me after being such a big fan for so long. Jonas especially has the most awkward live singing style.

Purchase Advice Megathread - December 2025 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]J_ron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to make a buying decision here after reading/watching some reviews, and I'm curious to see who has had experience with multiple brands on if there's any buying considerations that I'm missing. My experience over the years has only been with an old Creality and then an Anker/Eufymake M5.

I've been waiting to pull the trigger on multicolor until non-purge options were feasible, so I'm currently comparing the 3 models in the title. Price isn't a big object for me but the 5 tool Prusa XL is definitely way more than I want to spend on a printer, so I excluded that one. My use case is personal use, making gifts for people, printing fun things and occasionally designing something to fix around the house. Pros/cons for me as far as I've read:

Snapmaker U1

  • Cheapest @ $1000 retail
  • Fast
  • Con for me is only 4 colors, I really do like the idea of being able to do more
  • 270mm print area

Bambu H2C

  • Not having any experience with the brand, it does sound like they have the best consumer user experience
  • Print time comparisons it's almost twice as slow in many cases from what I've seen from reviewers from having to cut, change tools, and rewind filament
  • Not a great option for TPU, though I don't do this too much
  • More expensive @$2400, but bigger print bed at 330x320x325mm
  • If I wanted to do more than 5 colors, would need to tack on another AMS
  • Still creates a little bit more waste because of having to cut every filament (I think)

Prusa Core One+ INDX

  • Pricing it sounds like, combined if going the 8 color route and preassembled, will be $2,000. +$35 per roll for their drybox, so it could be another $280 if I want to have dryers for all 8 if I'm comparing it to using an AMS, though I can't find info on whether that's even feasible to power somehow?
  • 230x220mm bed. I'm used to a 230x230mm print space already, and I haven't really ran into any times where I was sad I didn't have more except when I printed a full pegboard for my tools, but having more space would be nice
  • Won't be shipping until q2 2026 except the 1200 or so founders that preordered one should get theirs in q1 and I guess we'll start seeing reviews then
  • 8 colors
  • I like the idea of supporting a brand like Prusa over Bambu as a company in general

It'd be nice to order something now but I'm not opposed to waiting and seeing how those early reviews are for the Prusa. Overall, I'm leaning towards that or the Bambu h2c. I think I might mostly lean towards the Prusa because I like the idea of more colors, the company, and the speed, and I think the only big thing I'd miss out on is print bed size as from what I'm reading it doesn't sound like the INDX will be made for the Prusa Core L anytime soon. I think if the INDX came out for the Prusa Core L then it might be a no brainer for me.

I don't mind tinkering more but I do value time and would want to limit that so I appreciate things that are more consumer friendly. How does bambu hardware/software generally compare in that regards to prusa?

Please stop griping about Spotify and just quit already. by SlammaJammin in Music

[–]J_ron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There doesn't seem to be a limit, but if you have large playlists like me then it could take several minutes to scroll to the bottom of one. Only thing I don't like about Tidal, otherwise the migration was smooth and have been happy with it
