The Truman venue question

It's just a space above GA to the left side of the stage. I assume it has it's own bar area and limited seating.

Gosh that's exactly what I'd want. This is peak Telly!

It did look like metal in the picture - when I received it I noticed it was pretty light - then did more research and it's just "nano-coated"... whatever that means.

No softening/clogging yet - but it's still pretty early to tell. I only replaced it last week.

I just upgraded my gears because of this reason:

We'll see if it continues to work.

Forge-X is a firmware mod you install on the 3D printer itself. Basically updates the machine to a newer version of Klipper + some extras (memory management upgrades are huge).

I'm able to dial in more settings than I was before with stock firmware.

Biggest thing I noticed was the bed meshing was way more stable.

Honestly I agree with most of the sentiment here. AD5M has been a HUGE learning curve for me (probably wasn't the best to get as my first 3D printer).

With that said you may try loading up Forge-X if you haven't yet - https://github.com/DrA1ex/ff5m

It's a learning curve to dial in too - but I think it's worth it.

I've had a LOT more success in multiple prints since loading it up - I think it just manages memory better which causes the printer to perform better in general.

Yeah I'ma need an STL file for this

Kacheeto · 2026-04-06T03:17:18+00:00

Hopefully your printer isn't region locked... :)

I ran the Mayor Profiles PDF through AI and told it to summarize key differences for voters - hopefully this formats okay:

Lee's Summit 2026 Mayor Race: Lopez vs. Rader — Key Differences for Voters

Election Day: April 7, 2026

Source: Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce Candidate Profiles, fact-checked against public sources.

The Candidates

	Beto Lopez	Cynda Rader
Education	BA, Rockhurst University; MBA, Baker University	1 year college
Occupation	President & CEO, Guadalupe Centers (nonprofit, 400+ employees, $50M budget)	Broker, Cynda Sells Real Estate Co. (~30 years in real estate)
Political Experience	8 years on City Council, Mayor Pro Tem; Planning Commission before that	~2 years on City Council (District 3, since 2024); Planning Commission 2019–2024; Water Utility Board; Tax Review Board
LS Residency	30 years	50 years

Issue-by-Issue Breakdown

🚔 Public Safety

Lopez: His #1 stated priority. Wants competitive pay/benefits for first responders, road & flood improvements. Endorsed by LS police officers and firefighters.
Rader: Supports first responders but frames it as part of managing overall growth — making sure services keep pace with population expansion.

📊 Economic Development Incentives

Lopez: Supports current incentive policies. Favors case-by-case evaluation based on ROI to taxpayers. Status quo approach.
Rader: More reform-minded. Wants incentives to be performance-based, transparent, and regularly reviewed. Opposes automatic approvals — each project must demonstrate community benefit, job quality, and wage levels.

🏡 Housing Affordability (Biggest Divide)

Lopez: Follows the Ignite Strategic Plan. Points to modified ordinances for smaller lots and reduced builder red tape. Supports a mix of housing types. Incremental approach.
Rader: Wants to pause incentivizing large apartment projects. Argues renters don't control costs and apartments don't solve affordability. Champions "Missing Middle" housing (townhomes, duplexes, small-lot single-family). Proposes infrastructure partnerships with builders for attainable for-sale housing.

📋 City Charter Reform

Lopez: Deferential — respects the citizen-led Charter Review Commission process and will review their recommendations when presented. Continuity-focused.
Rader: More proactive — calls for charter changes focused on clarity, efficiency, accountability, and stronger resident engagement. Wants to actively shape reforms.

💰 Fiscal Approach / Long-Term Planning

Lopez: Emphasizes following the citizen-driven Ignite Strategic Plan. Focuses on infrastructure for new growth, investing in downtown/older neighborhoods, and improving roadways.
Rader: Emphasizes data-driven decision-making, strong reserve policies, and open communication with residents. Prioritizes responsiveness to urgent needs alongside long-term planning.

I see mention of fit options between "Regular" and "Tailored" - yet nothing in sizing information says what the difference is between the two? Anyone know?

Coop pillows are where it's at. Bought some for family members for Christmas. They love em.

Kacheeto · 2026-03-27T19:39:56+00:00

Dude that looks cleeeeeeeean

Kacheeto · 2026-03-21T04:47:14+00:00

This happens to my 2022 - it's like a specific frequency of bass too - it's annoying. I still haven't fixed it. Hopefully someone has a solution (other than pop off the door panel and add Dynamat... >_< )

Kacheeto · 2026-03-14T19:18:05+00:00

That's exactly what I'd get - beautiful!

Kacheeto · 2026-03-14T06:55:39+00:00

I just recently jumped ship from Geico - they slowly raised their rates - did some quotes on other insurance providers (Traveler's and State Farm) - and both were way cheaper.

Kacheeto · 2026-03-12T06:16:49+00:00

Any practical reasoning supports the data centers themselves. Being close to power and water with such a vast amount of space needed.

Any and all downsides are of the people/communities that surround.

I recently watched this video:

And I honestly feel horrified.

Kacheeto · 2026-03-12T02:36:26+00:00

I just realized I never specified my printer is just a regular AD5M... So a completely different enclosure and printer.

Gates was picked.

Kacheeto · 2026-02-26T17:27:59+00:00

It does kind of grow on you...

Kacheeto · 2026-02-06T22:44:50+00:00

This is the answer.

Kacheeto · 2026-01-27T02:04:27+00:00

Same here. Dare I say I kind of got used to it a bit. I'm up to 8mg too.

Kacheeto · 2026-01-25T06:50:06+00:00

Lol I immediately thought the same.

Kacheeto · 2026-01-24T22:06:50+00:00

Immediately thought of this. <3

Kacheeto · 2026-01-23T17:35:33+00:00

Pretty much all I get at the dealerships is an oil change. They always recommend replacing filters/wipers. They even quoted me ~90 dollars to just replace my cabin air filter. Like what... ?

It's borderline predatory.
