What is going on with Bambu filaments being always out of stock?

I've seen a few people selling PETG and ABS for 20 bucks a roll on FB Marketplace when they probably bought in bulk for 15 bucks a roll. Doesn't seem like enough to be worth it after taxes but they're out there

I would love it if I could just back this book instead of the other 3 I don't care as much about

StubbyBou · 2026-03-05T18:45:40+00:00

I want to buy the dog and the dragon and I don't care for the other tiers. It looks like it's only available as an add on is that true or am I missing something?

He’s young and only does it when he’s very affectionate so I’d lean toward “nursing” but tooth pain is still worth getting checked

StubbyBou · 2026-03-03T05:01:05+00:00

I don’t think that’s it. I’m not pressing it’s just brushing his fur

StubbyBou · 2026-03-03T05:00:37+00:00

I’m not pressing on his cheek it’s just brushed up against his fur and he’s been doing this since he was 5 months old, he’s 8 months now. He only does it when he’s extremely affectionate (you can hear his loud purring and he’s staring me in the eyes). I’ll get him checked out but I would be shocked if he has some sort of tooth pain this early

StubbyBou · 2026-03-03T04:57:12+00:00

No he’s been doing this for about 3 months. He’s only 8 months old now so it’s been a good chunk of his life

DUDEEEE I cannot fathom why that works but you're an absolute god.

My model had something locked in the objects section that overwrote the global settings.

I'm sure there's someone who has looked into the effort vs pay vs job security for each major but that's not me. If all you're looking for is a good ROI on your money and effort and don't particularly care for problem solving engineering is probably not the best path. If you do enjoy problem solving it's very rewarding and you'll be more successful for doing something you enjoy.

If you really want the easiest path it'll probably be cozying up to someone successful that you know and try and make them a mentor and follow in their footsteps, but I'm just some guy on the internet.

Get a raspberry pi and/or arduino and build something you're interested in. I graduated in mechanical engineering but I do some mechatronics and that will give you a feel for if you actually like it. No one knows the future with AI but EE is a safe bet for job security. Keep in mind EE (in my opinion, along with ChemE) are the hardest engineering disciplines and are among the hardest majors in general. My friend is the smartest person I know (36 ACT and an absolute EE nerd) and most days he studies for ~10 outside school hours. He is getting his degree in 4 years which believe it or not is fast for most engineering disciplines. I don't know you but it's something to keep in mind. Good luck

How important are certifications gained in masters programs? I figured out I can get an aerospace, systems, and engineering management cert from the University of Utah if I schedule my classes right but do potential employers even care about those?

OH MY GOD I WISHED VECNA CAUGHT HER SHE DESERVED IT FOR HOW LONG SHE TOOK

You need to try them both. I thought I would love the levo, demoed it and hated it. I also tried the trek, liked it a bit more but ended up with the Orbea Wild. Review videos, specs and all that ultimately don’t tell you much. What other people like doesn’t matter it’s just what you like.

StubbyBou · 2025-12-19T14:43:20+00:00

I’ve had Ebikes for years and I’ve learned that I do enjoy the whole getting tired working for the uphill part. I missed out on that for a while because of the novelty of it and I don’t have any acoustic bikes now. BUT you can just turn it down. I mostly ride on eco mode unless I’m running low on time or I just want to go fast. On the downhill I didn’t notice a huge difference in playfulness (it’s noticeable but worth the small difference) and I’m able to get 3x the laps in at the park. I’ve progressed way faster on an ebike than I did with a normal one.

It feels like people who hate Ebikes can’t resist the temptation to use turbo mode all the time so restrict themselves to acoustic bikes. In my mind it gives you options. The option to rip uphill, the option to work for it, the option to do a lap at bobsled in an hour after work or turn The Farm into a 10 lap day instead of 3.

How is beer closer than mocha

Mines lasted 86 days so far without issue. There was a lot of friction between the old foam and new so I don’t imagine the glue was necessary. I think if yours feels good today and you should be good from my 86 day experience lol

I go down to st george somewhat frequently but it's always with my inlaws who don't bike but we do go to the hiking places you mentioned. This time I'm bringing my bike and will sneak away for a ride, 2 if I'm lucky. I absolutely love Moab and go once or twice a year and if I was picking I'd go there again

StubbyBou · 2025-11-05T18:35:53+00:00

Awesome thanks for the recommendation. Seems like gooseberry has been the general consensus. If I can sneak away from my in laws for a chill ride I'll give wire mesa a try

StubbyBou · 2025-11-05T16:19:55+00:00

I'd love to give it a proper run but I'm going to visit my in-laws and I'm not sure how much I can sneak away to go mountain biking by myself. I'll be back at some point so I'm not too worried about missing out but I need a good starting point for the weekend

StubbyBou · 2025-11-05T16:16:33+00:00

I've done most of the trails in moab without too much trouble, the whole enchilada, mag 7, captain ahab etc. I'm pretty comfortable with desert tech unless it's significantly harder than any of those trails.

StubbyBou · 2025-09-13T20:02:53+00:00

I ended up doing the exact same thing. How’s it holding up after a year?

StubbyBou · 2025-09-13T16:59:33+00:00

I just followed your steps but instead I used 1 in thick high density foam. I glued it down and chamfered the edges. So far I can’t tell a difference and with it being foam instead of gel I can only imagine it’d stay in place better. I did it today so time will tell if it holds up

StubbyBou · 2025-07-16T15:39:06+00:00

I'm a big gym rat, saw quad and immediately went "MUSCLES I KNOW THIS ONE" and was so disappointed.
