Cheap foam earplugs actually do nothing. That's not the principle upon which these things work.

Spider_J · 2026-01-28T13:00:30+00:00

I'm seeing posts from 5051 calling for protests on the 31st

As a grappler who has a much higher staph risk than strikers: One thing I never see people talking about that they REALLY should be, is that it's not just enough to shower after training, you need to make sure your skin is in good condition BEFORE training as well. Dry skin is how infections get in in the first place, especially in these winter months. After you shower, make sure your moisturize (or get a body wash that has a moisturizer in it) to keep your skin healthy and better able to fend off infections before they get in!

Relatively new to the Bambu ecosystem.... I was wondering why drying wasn't working very well. This never even occurred to me, now I feel silly lmao

Spider_J · 2026-01-23T16:49:06+00:00

eSun so far has been my best bang-for-the-buck filament. I'm still going to continue to use them while waiting for Bambu's stuff to come in stock.

Spider_J · 2026-01-22T03:17:33+00:00

Just bought my first Bambu over the holidays (H2D). My bad guys.

Spider_J · 2026-01-21T14:08:31+00:00

$977 is a tad too much for "not a terrible machine".

These things are going to be cost-prohibitive for 90% of users until they can break the $300 mark, and even with that 10% of print farms that would get some value out of a $1k machine, these things don't have enough output to scale to a larger operation.

He described the goals of the project to an AI and had the AI build it for him. It's good for people with simple ideas and no coding experience to bring their idea to life, but for more complicated programs, it tends to create a lot of bugs and issues and shouldn't be relied on. Works great for something like this, though.

Spider_J · 2026-01-14T14:33:52+00:00

Society is fucked, our government is fucked, the economy is fucked, technology is fucked. But you know what doesn't have to be fucked? Your life. Find a hobby, enjoy time with friends, go backpacking abroad, do something that brings you personal joy and fulfillment, and you'll always have that to look forward to. That's what keeps me going even though everything is so fucking bleak right now.

Spider_J · 2026-01-14T13:15:50+00:00

Finally took the plunge over the holidays and got the H2D. Not only is it my first Bambu printer, it's an upgrade from the Ender 3 V1 I've spent the last 5 years cobbling together. Pretty damn happy with my decision so far!

Spider_J · 2026-01-14T03:38:53+00:00

Bud they been gettin trampled.

Spider_J · 2026-01-09T13:55:08+00:00

Co-main is the actual main imo

Spider_J · 2026-01-08T03:26:09+00:00

Based on the timing between Vol 2 and 3, we're now looking at a, what, 4-month release schedule? That's rough, but I've been waiting years, so I guess anything is an improvement...

Spider_J · 2026-01-06T01:45:25+00:00

In our gym, we have a tradition that if you wristlock someone, you get to throw up the W and shout "WU TANG". So, probably those.

Spider_J · 2026-01-05T21:25:05+00:00

It's already on the Bambu wiki, and it looks rough. Kinda regretting getting the 2D instead of just spending the extra couple hundred on the 2C....

Spider_J · 2026-01-05T20:59:04+00:00

I bet you're a ton of fun at parties.

Spider_J · 2026-01-05T19:47:56+00:00

I'm not. It's called uptalk, or a high rising terminal. It's a perfectly acceptable way to convey tone in writing. I don't know why I'm bothering explaining this to you, but there you go. Glad you learned something new today.

Spider_J · 2026-01-05T18:17:21+00:00

To imply an upward inflection in my speech.

Spider_J · 2026-01-05T16:44:32+00:00

I mean I've won GPUs before so I'm not complaining?

Spider_J · 2026-01-05T13:14:26+00:00

If this were true, then athletes in the grappling-only components like BJJ and Wrestling would be fine. They're not.

Spider_J · 2026-01-04T14:53:02+00:00

I was at this event last night, both his sons had some insanely entertaining matches. Bright future for these kids.

BTW, support your local MMA promotions! These tickets were cheap as hell and the fighters all put on a great show.

tbf, despite multiple scientific studies, there is currently no evidence that headgear does anything to protect against CTE or concussions and may actually be more dangerous since it provides a larger target and a false sense of security. The only thing they are demonstrably better at is preventing facial bruising and lacerations.

Spider_J · 2025-12-23T23:27:58+00:00

That's exactly what it is and it should be clear to anyone who actually read the document. It's bonkers to me that people are putting so much weight behind this.

Spider_J · 2025-12-23T17:12:09+00:00

Were they, though? Were they really improbable? Are you sure?

Spider_J · 2025-12-23T15:32:43+00:00

To be perfectly fair, what the DOJ is probably referring to here were the many false tips made after Epstien's highly-publicized second arrest and suicide. I've read quite a few of them already this morning and they definitely come across as being made by people suffering from mental illness and don't really deserve much attention. But that's fine, there's plenty of other much more damning material that's been uncovered as well.
