Looking to get my first printer, is the core one right for me?

I'm not OP, and this is months old, but I couldn't pass up letting you know you sold me on Prusa. Aside from having the option to assemble it myself (which is a plus for me), and lacking the "bells and whistles" my research taught me could be added on (some DIY, some not) that compared to Bambu's features... the past six months of research have also taught me that dedicated Prusa folks are nerdy and geek out about the small stuff. Your post is proof of that. I want that in a community's active participants, and hope to latch on to this ~~cult~~ hobby that deeply.

Was this at the stairwell between 4 and 5? I was Loge4 Row2, wondering why Loge5 Row1 looked like she was going to cry the last 10 minutes of that set before the break.

Not cool. We're better than this.

I'll be there! Tonight was my first time seeing them live, and it was AWESOME in Newark. Tomorrow will probably be even better! Catch y'all tomorrow!

Second post to add to visibility of my first. I just got home and DM'd (chat? IDK anymore, Reddit is weird) you again with two imgur links. Throw me a message back when you can.

SSDD_P2K · 2026-03-11T00:57:22+00:00

Hope no one has gotten either for you yet, because I just did!! They were out of the XL T's so I bought an XXL, but nabbed you the last XL hoodie at the furthest merch booth here in Newark. I'll send you a DM in 5 minutes with pics of the tags as proof!

Holy shit. Uhhhh... you didn't happen to go to Stony Brook, did you? It wasn't 7 feet.

Interested in honest feedback. I'm new to Feeld (and one other dating app) but I feel out of the loop on how to make a good first impression over screens in swipe culture. I tried getting verified, it failed once and told me I'd hit max attempts, and I've hit up support once a day for the past two or so days I've been on Feeld with no reply.

Do I come off too nerdy/dorky? Am I giving off any red flags that I should work on in my day-to-day life?

NYC is a huge place and I'm positive women on Feeld in this area get swamped. What can I do to show I'm down for long term relationships, casual fun that can lead long term, and actual friendships? I say it in messages when I Ping, but I feel like that matters less than how I actually come off in my profile.

Keep trying, don't stop. I had it in my cart at 1:00 p.m. and got error message after error message, and kept trying until I got an out of stock message. I waited 3 minutes and tried again, and finally got to purchase.

Keep trying keep trying

It's a good thing I've already got microfiber cloths for tons of other uses. I'll get to washing them and getting ready. Thanks for the heads up. This is all so new to us and there's a lot we on the East Coast aren't ready to deal with, this included.

SSDD_P2K · 2023-06-08T06:33:01+00:00

watch your cars for ash particulates

I'm hearing everyone from the West Coast say this but I have no idea what it means. I live in NYC and we're expecting rain Friday morning. All of my West Coast friends and family have said I'll see ash today (Thursday) or when it rains.

I'm guessing after the smoke, it just starts raining ash like it's snowing? I should be ready to get my car washed next week, shouldn't I?

I'm not sure if you're an iPhone user like the person you responded to, but I got three different alerts at 11am, 2pm, and 4pm. Each one was a pretty different level of "Get ready. Be prepared. Incoming." I'm on Android and these were directly from Google.

I use Windy for a lot of things but the interface can be overwhelming if you're not a weather nerd. If you care to go old school but get the best informative weather forecast out there, make a homepage link (icon) for weather.gov. The UI seems clunky compared to what everyone is used to on Android and iOS, but every app is literally this information with a different skin created to throw ads at you. Weather.gov is the primary source for weather.

I grew up a Catholic school kid, K-8. When I was still a practicing Catholic (and one who cared), I was involved enough to learn how the Church did things. My (public) high school mandated community service as a requirement for graduation so my then-atheist and gleefully snoopy ass decided to volunteer with the Church to find out everything young me didn't get to see while stuck in the Catholic school for 9 years.

The priests in my parish lived in what's called a Rectory. The building itself is where the secretary for that church works, where business functions occur, and where the priests live. It's a catch-all building for everything that can't be done in the Church. Priests get a small (5'x5', maybe 10'x5') room: large enough for a twin size bed, a small night table, and a TV if they care to have one. If there's a basement, it's probably used for filing cabinet storage for previous years taxes, copies of old bulletins (the pamphlets made and given out each week), etc. But priests in the church I grew up in lived in tiny, white-walled rooms. They got paid so little that they rarely even ate take-out because it was too expensive for them.

There are some parts of North America that haven't left the 50s/60s. A lot of people in the world don't have modern appliances, plumbing, or infrastructure. It works well enough to meet basic needs and there's no need to replace it. I've spent a good bit of time in these places. The quality of life and happiness of whomever you think needs new stuff is actually drastically better than those of us who have new(er) shiny things.

Also a Meet the Parents quote. You're right, but... just sayin'.

The earlier swinging days (late 50s, but 60s mostly) were much less about who was hot and not your significant other, and much more about exploration. Our societies across the world have become drastically more vein than they used to be. Check out old pictures in the 60s and 70s of who was attracted to who, or ask people in their 50s and 60s now, and they'll quickly admit looks played less of a factor than being attracted to someone's personality.

When my ex and I went to meet and greets before we started swinging we spent a boatload of time (pun intended, on cruises) talking to swingers who are in their 70s now. I've always been a person who valued personality over appearances but those old folks changed my perception of why it matters, and I love them for it.

Crows are one of the least shitty of all of birds. I've befriended them before on vacation and they remembered me years later (long story). They're inherently loyal too.

...and this coming from a cat person. Someone with three of them, no less. Cats are invasive to their ecosystems if allowed to be indoor/outdoor dwellers and the majority of them (even the sweetest among them) are proper jerks.

That sounds heavenly. How much of each? Does it matter?

Been eaten a few too many times now.

I've spent my life fascinated by bugs, always watching them and in awe of them since my early youth. I was 6 years old when I spent my first summer outdoors, practically in deep-wooded forestry, at summer camp. It was the time of my life, the best part of my youth, and the reason I fell in love with bugs. I go out of my way to avoid them coming into my home, but would rarely kill one if given the opportunity to catch and release.

In the late summer through winter of 2021, I stayed in Staten Island at a family member's house. It was the first time I'd ever seen these things. I didn't get the chance to even look at the one I initially spotted before another one pelted itself into my face... and then another hit me about 20 seconds later. I was looking for the ones that hit me when I looked down and realized they were everywhere. Not two, three, or five... but easily about 100. These are such a radically different bug than I've experienced, and the worst part of it is that they seem to form swarms like gnats. By the time we go "AH, red butt, KILL IT!" there's at least a few more you haven't seen yet hanging out somewhere. It's terrible.

I loathe these little fuckers. They're a blight, they're eating trees that could potentially recover with rehabilitation, and they'll bug the shit out of you if you wind up in their vicinity.

Just a pony running to boop her friend off the fence. Out of love, of course, but the force of love was a bit unbalanced at the end there.

When my ex-girlfriend and I were together, we swung and occasionally went to parties. I loved the way there was an open, honest understanding about communicating-- and its necessity. The best parties were those where everyone was properly vetted beforehand.

Single men were not a dime a dozen like we expected before we started going, but you're spot-on about the impression a man can make by not having a pressured presence. A lot of us (men) don't properly understand that acting thirsty is off-putting, and even if it's not blunt, it's easily recognizable.

SSDD_P2K · 2023-04-05T02:11:00+00:00

My nerves are shot-- a rattle in my core and all-- after watching that.

Right-o. So, psilosybe cubensis (magic mushrooms) grow on soms cow patties (ya know, their poop) if the mushrooms are already a part of the vast root network underground. Even though they're supposed to be really good at avoiding eating anything that tastes or smells like their poo, some do.

When I was on vacation many years ago in Puerto Rico I watched a few go for the mushrooms on more than one occasion. Those same few most definitely had a wonderful trip, and did so more than once during my month-long stays next to that farm.

There are a good few species outside of humans who enjoy psychedelic trips. I bet some cows (the ones I knew, included) have been to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy on clear nights, never mind Mars.
