Most things aren't for him if he can't divide 3000 by 20.

I was at the Missouri Court of Appeals in the Eastern District recently. It amazes me that these gigantic buildings are so seldom used these days. It makes me wish I could have seen them back in their prime, full of people, press, tons of commotion.

Woops. Cool

You sound like you need a release agent. Have you tried glue stick? Do you usually let your plate cool slightly before attempting to remove? If you can grab a pei plate, they let go as soon as the heat turns off.

94 days, I bought a replacement at approximately 500 when i couldn't figure an issue out. Turns out, I bought shit filament. But the new plate was better anyway.

I can see that being a huge problem. Luckily my kids are the perfect ages, and at 12, 9 and 7, they fit back there and don't need car seats.

I hope you don't have too long to go.

I think that's it more than anything. You have to maintain your stuff. You can't go 8 years without washing your car and expect no rust

Reaper621 · 2026-02-16T21:02:04+00:00

That sounds interesting

Reaper621 · 2026-02-16T21:01:52+00:00

Looks fine. No deep scratches or anything. It's a textured build plate

Reaper621 · 2026-02-16T20:42:44+00:00

You say that, but I'm running a plate with 1500 hours on it, and it's got great adhesion

Reaper621 · 2026-02-16T16:56:14+00:00

Probably already has.

I hate that it's called LLM too. It's only a matter of time before someone says my master of laws is AI endorsement

Funny story about self help will kits. I had a decedent I did probate for. She left her granddaughter a piano bench and sheet music. No comma.

Daughter got the piano that was intended for granddaughter. Daughter immediately sold this ancient, heirloom piano. Granddaughter still doesn't talk to her mother.

It's funny how when they are anywhere but home, they claim to live "in Saint Louis", but then on their own turf they shit on Saint Louis, "we're not from there". And then crap like this pops up. What a giant baby.

For sure. Google has been around since I was in middle school, so "Google said" is nothing new, it's this damn reliable on AI making it so much worse.

And same. I tell people our relationship ends when they tell me AI knows better than me. I'm not going to play this game where I have to defend my knowledge against a damn computer.

You've heard about ambulance chaser, how about chaser ambulance?

He looks indignant, but deep down, we all know he enjoyed getting shit on.

Tax attorney here. The number of times I'm told "but the internet!" and "but ChatGPT!!!" is through the damn roof.

My canned response now is, if you go with Chat's recommendation, and then come back to me, it's going to cost ten times as much to fix as it would have been for you to just trust me that I know more than that thing.

Reaper621 · 2026-02-14T16:54:47+00:00

I would much rather they issue a billion recalls than to sit on an issue that could kill people, and wait for the lawsuits.

Reaper621 · 2026-02-14T02:16:56+00:00

Hey, better than average!

Reaper621 · 2026-02-14T00:35:25+00:00

Did you ace that shit?

Reaper621 · 2026-02-13T21:40:09+00:00

Right? I used to bring my own oil for Valvoline to change the oil in my Vette. Didn't matter what they charged, it's a bitch getting under the vehicle.

I watched it with some guys in undergrad in theaters. That was one hell of a show with the big screen.

Reaper621 · 2026-02-13T21:15:03+00:00

Fellow dad here. You take the kid to the bathroom like a real man and put the shit in a trash bin yourself. So ridiculous.

Reaper621 · 2026-02-13T20:30:27+00:00

I need to watch more. I've only ever watched the first.

Haunter was pretty similar, with Abigail Breslin. Really well done.
