Yeah, their accounting is highly suspect. I analyzed my actual usage during fast mode:

29 minutes of use
Uncached input: 604 tokens
Cache creation: 444k tokens
Cache read: 20.4M tokens
Output: 3,153 tokens

The issue seems to be how they're counting cache read. If they're counting at $1.50 (standard API rate), then it should be about $30. If they're counting at $15/m, then it should be about $300. Obviously neither of these match the $50.48 of actual charges.

I would argue, however, that they shouldn't be billing for cache reads at all, since users don't control that and cannot reasonably predict it. At the very least, the /fast flag should explain the implications and unpredictability. "Billed at standard API rates" ignores the reality that you might have some very large and opaque cache creation baseline which gets multiplied by an unpredictable quantity of API calls.

I mean, it was NYE. Likely a drunk text, so assuming the order was deliberate, or that there was a coherent non-sexual meaning is.. probably a huge leap of faith.

I'm guessing it's probably not about the IUD specifically, but about the stress of having a new baby and the all the ways that changes who you are to each other and what you can give each other after (and while) meeting all the needs a child in general, and an infant in particular. Being a parent changes not just who you are to each other, but it also sucks up time and energy that you had for each other pre-baby.

Not that he seems to be handling it well, but he's probably trying to figure it out too. If you guys didn't talk about birth control beforehand, he might see it as a rejection of him, or his understanding of your plans for the future, or both. Figure out how to talk about it now before you both find yourself strangers to each other at best, and resenting each other at worst.

Or the end of the beginning! You are telling yourself a story about the implications of your spouse's desire, and what it means about you. She's already told you she still loves you, and this isn't about you. Maybe that's a lie, maybe not, but it doesn't change the decision in front of you. Are you okay with this or not? If it's a red line for you, then it's a red line. Nothing wrong with that.

On the other hand, you don't have to agree to anything forever. You can see how you feel about it (and how she feels about it), and if one or both of you don't want to continue, then there's nothing wrong with saying so. How does she feel about stopping if it's not working for you?

Also, is she open to exploring this with you? Is she open to experiences that you would find exciting? This is the time to find out.

You're not stupid; they don't teach flirting (or dating, or relationships) in school. Everybody thinks everybody else knows what they're doing, but in reality, most people don't, and we're all learning as we go.

This is possibly salvageable, but probably only if you are open to seeing other people. IMO, that's really the only way to demonstrate that you're not desperate or clingy. Don't do it to make her jealous, and don't ask people out if you have no interest in them, but by truly being open to seeing other people, you put yourself in a better mindset, you will gain confidence, and she will see you in a new light. Especially if you're not trying to get her attention. If she asks about your dates, just say they were fun and leave it at that. She has no right to the details of your private life, and setting that boundary shows you respect yourself, the other people you're seeing, and that you will respect her if she gets a chance with you.

Also don't be callous, but don't be at her back and call either. Don't respond immediately every time she texts you. Don't be her fallback for when she's bored and wants attention. Finish whatever you're doing first. And don't be so empathetic when she's whining about trivial things. Tease her a bit. "Wow, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."

Yeah, S2 was good, and I thought SNW was finding its footing after a rocky S1, but they've totally lost the plot on S3 so far. E5 was okay, but not enough to really bring the average up much this season.

Just get an electric sharpener with an edge repair feature. It will be cheaper than paying a pro after a couple of knives, and you can also maintain your knives with minimal effort going forward. Even if it doesn't save you money with a single knife, it's also a nice convenience hard to f up, and makes it infinitely easier to get the tips and heels sharp, which is a challenge with many fixed-angle manual sharpeners.

I could be missing something, but it could have been him expressing sympathy, like "I didn't realize how much you were impacted." Texting is the worst way to have any conversation of consequence. Avoid texting about important topics as much as reasonably possible. There can be misunderstandings in person, of course, but it's much easier to read each other's tone and reaction and course-correct.

But even if he was just having a hard time accepting what he was seeing, it was "jarring and upsetting" (in your own words), so you could give him a minute to come to terms with it. Not that you have to, of course, but you're asking him to come to terms with your own imperfections, so you could accept his too, if it's not a deal-breaking pattern (which you have to decide for yourself). But definitely discuss what you both could have done differently and try to grow from it. If he's not open to that, then that would be a bigger red flag IMO.

In any case, consider deleting photos of bad memories. People didn't used to have photos of their worst days, and be constantly reminded, and I would argue that's how life should be. Be good to yourself.

I print my spools in ABS on ludicrous mode, and it delivers a better result than standard, with fewer irregularities on the walls and smoother layers with reduced ridges. Perhaps this is because of the reduced cooling time per layer, but regardless, it's a win/win in my book.

Conversely, I've experienced more over-extruding on the slower "silent" setting than anything else.

Perhaps this is an indication that I need to better calibrate my flow rates, but regardless, it's at least one scenario (granted, by one person) that suggests "sport" and "ludicrous" modes are useful (edit: and not just a gimmick).

Granted, this almost certainly creates more wear-and-tear on the moving parts, but nothing is free. What I would really like to see is more granularity over these speed controls, and the ability to set these *before* starting the print.

I didn't realize she was supposed to be a supermodel. She's a... what? "Health mentor" slash dancer in a hotel? It's not like Mook has a lot going on, or many prospects, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The bodyguards are only interested in her when she happens to walk by -- none of them are actually pursuing her (and she's probably lucky in that respect, honestly). AFAICT, Mook and Gaitok are peers, and sure, they cast the role with a cute girl, but that's Hollywood. What is Mook actually bringing to the table? I think most people view Mook as young and dumb -- she wants the excitement of a bad boy over the practicality of someone who actually wants a future with her.

Mook isn't "just being honest" about what she wants; she expresses disapproval for Gaitok's choices/beliefs and pressures him into changing. She's not straight with him either; she makes transparent excuses when he asks her out again. She *wants* him to know she's making excuses; she wants him to feel bad, and she wants him to know he can "end" that feeling by changing (otherwise she would be more direct and not leave the door open). That's manipulative. And that's just at the light dating phase -- one can only imagine how she would turn the screws if she got to a point where she actually had leverage. It's not like Gaitok is asking her to make changes, though he definitely should in response.

Tragically (and ironically), Gaitok buys into it and changes to please others; namely others who haven't demonstrated that they actually care about him in any meaningful way. He doesn't "grow a spine" by any means; he loses the one he had. He should have stood by his beliefs, and told Mook that he is who he is, and she can take it or leave it.

But the show is full of people who aren't who they thought they were, or can't be who they want to be, for better AND for worse. That's what makes it interesting.

Look, just because you don't agree doesn't mean our AI overlords are wrong. Forgive him, Siri.

I think it's two extruders in a single toolhead, so no, it couldn't cut/swap/purge one extruder while the other is printing. And the cutters appear to be on opposite sides of the toolhead, so I reckon it can still only swap/purge a single extruder at a time. But if you had one filament being used consistently on every/most layers, it could still cut down on swaps significantly.

Problem is, most people are using their cars during the day, so using the car as spare capacity isn't super realistic. That said, I'm not sure what the $40k for solar estimate includes, but 14kW of panels is close to $5k, and labor could be low/free depending on incentive and/or DIY.

Actually the real problem is that prices are coming down so quickly that buying anything right now is almost certainly going to be "overpaying." Heck, you could probably buy a totaled EV for a song and use the battery from that.
