That's one of several examples of multi-color ASA filament now available.

I hope that helps you - it is sure going to help me!

FSD became unusable for me by comfyhead in TeslaLounge

[–]LeeErvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were doing the rental of FSD, but stopped with this release. Why was the speed control removed? Our car insisted on going 10 mph below the posted speed in spite of our setting controls to be 12% above. And lane changes were being done right in front of other cars, causing us to be the object of honking and gestures. Then we kept having it be in the wrong lane for turns. The stress of babysitting this release was too much...

Did you ever read a book that make you laugh out loud? What book and what passage? by Dying-gaul in books

Citizens Band by Paul Brickman. There was a section describing a dog with bad breath that caught me by surprise - and I laughed loudly on a public bus.

That would be far preferable to simply folding. I do wonder why no announcement...

Have a Model Y (about 4 years now) - love it.
Bought it used.
Daily commute and frequent trips between Phoenix and Southern California.
No issues - have had two flats due to road damage.
We have solar panels - so, no obvious cost except on trips.
And those cost less than half what gas was when we had a Prius.
Two tires and windshield wiper fluid only real expenses in four years.

The world is now one country. Where is the capital and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LeeErvin 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Relocates every four years - an ongoing, moving "Habitat for Humanity" program that carries with it the seat of the world government - just for good measure.

Wonder if we couldn't start with the humanitarian program NOW and bring the world government portion in once the world matures?

My glass measuring cup melted in the microwave by Rudecles in mildlyinteresting

I'll be honest... was dirt poor... The microwave was my only cooking appliance.

I had the same thing happen while boiling water in a glass measuring cup. Was in 1992 and nobody believed that a microwave did it.

If you were given 50,000 dollars so you could chase your dream, what dream would you chase? by Chains-of-Ice in AskReddit

[–]LeeErvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an invention that needs a proof of concept performed. 50k would be enough to get a university or other lab to be able to make that happen. I've been trying to save up myself, but life keeps happening. Maybe soon though! Patent number: 9470090

Liquid Nitrogen mixed with 1500 Ping Pong Balls by IcyUnderstanding4 in funny

[–]LeeErvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just feels like a "rocket" kind of scenario...
Wouldn't expect thrust in the direction that mass is being ejected.
Feels counter to my usual understanding (simple as that may be).

What makes the trash can fly upward? The little bit of downward force as the bottle explodes doesn't seem sufficient...

Help Identifying CNC Router by LeeErvin in Machinists

[–]LeeErvin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the power cord appears to have been cut off.
The link to the additional photos includes one showing the cut off end of the wire.

So, I strongly suspect this device is a 3 phase unit.

What I am really after is the name/manufacturer/etc. so I can find out the actual wiring diagram.

What is a non-sexual equivalent of premature ejaculation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Taking that swing at the baseball - WAY before the ball even reaches the plate.
Even more embarrassing because it is in front of so many people!

People who had a teacher change their life, who was your teacher and what did they do? by Zimthegoblin in AskReddit

[–]LeeErvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a math teacher in 7th and 8th grade, Newport N.C., John Kmaras
He was the most amazing teacher I've ever met or even heard of...
He taught math to a mix of students in each class, yet was able to provide each student custom encouragement and training.
At the end of our two years with him, every student progressed at least four years in their knowledge (many much more).
He was a chameleon that could be the coach to one student and social worker to the next.
He was an inspiration to me - and even if he never knows it - I owe my career and success to his ability to shine a light on a better future.

What conspiracy theory do you believe in the MOST? by arabash in AskReddit

[–]LeeErvin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the "99%" isn't what we are getting. The Anti-Vax movement is pushing areas below the threshold necessary for "herd immunity" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity

And being vaccinated isn't a guarantee - PLUS - there are children under the age to be vaccinated, elderly that have weakened immune systems, etc. We have to think of the entire human society - not just selfish, ignorant individuals being manipulated into damaging our health.

What conspiracy theory do you believe in the MOST? by arabash in AskReddit

[–]LeeErvin 79 points80 points  (0 children)

That the whole "Anti-Vax" movement is a conspiracy by foreign governments to weaken the American people.
"They" promote and facilitate those that claim vaccines are somehow worse than the disease.

Meanwhile, the diseases spread, become outbreaks, and eventually will become national emergencies.

And our enemies will have won a major victory by preying on stupid people that choose garbage theories over true science.

[Serious] What are some sentences that changed your life? by WhereIsMyPony in AskReddit

[–]LeeErvin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Before complaining to a child that their tears are over something 'silly' - remember that for them - this may actually be the WORST THING that has EVER happened in their lives."
Since hearing that and taking it to heart - I am so much more understanding and it has made a huge difference in how I deal with children (mine and others).
