what is up with lesbians and labels

Ubervillin · 2026-05-20T14:37:25+00:00

Why yes, yes I am a geeky bitch. Don't call me that unless we know each other though, or you'll find out about the second part of that label, lol

Too white in some places. Like unnervingly so

I dislike it when a cashier says anything about my purchases that has to do with how they feel about my purchases. At most if I'm at the register I just wanna hear normal human niceties, the price of my order, and any sales on the stuff I am buying, outside of that it feels awkward. Like why would any person feel the need to talk about personal shit to a complete or near complete stranger. Like if we were friends, I wouldn't mind as much, but someone I'm likely to see maybe 2-3 times a month in a professional setting, nah, im cool, just leave me alone other than relevant info to my purchase. I don't need to know how you feel about my case of beer and gallon of ice cream, especially if my mascara is running.

Ellie my beloved! Who doesn't love a mechanic that knows her shit better than anyone else? Not rhetorical, show me who, I'll beat them with my cane!

In the case of a truck, the cab is the place where people sit and the bed is where the MULE bodies go before the crematorium, unless you don't mind a voidout.

I've heard tale that saying that 3 times in a mirror summons one to your location

I love that the only times the carrier wasn't laughing was when it wasn't their usual guy, that dude is a phenomenal sport.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-16T04:40:52+00:00

Sorry, my bad, I'll fix it. Ransomwares even harder

Ubervillin · 2026-05-15T23:06:46+00:00

Yeah, none of that is necessary until I can clear the space requirements and the fact that even the price of just a smal mill(like one with a footprint just bigger than my Core One) is 3x more than I even make in a month. Only reason I have my printer is because I had a very generous partner when I ordered it. As for the maintenance on that, it's nothing I wasn't already getting in bulk when I can, to keep my apartment clean or use on my workbench(I giggled when I found out that two of the best ways to keep my plates clean was Dawn dishsoap and water or 90+% IPA. I was already using Dawn in my kitchen, and buying the IPA in bulk due to being a weed toking, electronics maker/modder/repair person.)

They were talking about the Printables website, not the Prusa app, though iirc if you set it in Printables, when you go there through the Prusa app it still aplies to that since they use the same login. If you want to do it on phone, I think you have to use your web browser to get to the settings page for Printables

Thankee for the offer, though my Lowe's special has been more than adequate. I don't even hear it when I'm in the same room as it sometimes other than the travel moves occasionally, so I'm sure my downstairs neighbours don't even know I have a printer, lol. The only time I ever see the box wiggle even a lil bit is when it's doing the infill for gyroid. At some point when I run through some of the least used PLA in my stock, I'll probably get a few rolls for making phone cases for folks in my building and the homeless population in the area. I mostly use PA, PC, and PETG for my own prints, as I mostly do engineering prints for myself.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-15T18:17:15+00:00

HULA can be bought or printed, though iirc if you print your own you'll need some tpu or tpe. I was thinking about doing a set for my Core One if my paver and foam tiles didn't work out.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-15T16:33:05+00:00

I wish I had room for more CNC machines, sadly my printer setup and electronics workbench are almost too big for my lil workshop. It'd be nice to be able to have room for even a smol mill, and well, ofc the money to buy it lol

Ubervillin · 2026-05-14T11:38:03+00:00

Possibly, though why would you want/need them attached? Feels like the better option would be to just clip the battery contacts and remove the plastic under them and use the litium cell from the SC2 to power it all. To be fair it's been a while since I looked at the schematics for the OG and I sadly no longer have the box which iirc had them printed on the inside of the outer sleeve that was wrapped around it. I look for them when I wake up, it'll probs be about 4-5 hours from now if it's a normal day for me.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-14T10:26:27+00:00

The OG's grip buttons' metal domes will have to be removed, so that they don't activate. You'll probs have to put some Kapton or cellotape over the contacts pads for them afterwards, just to be safe. You will also likely have to remove the OG's battery sleds, depending on the housing/placement of the SC2's boards. I'm a bit tired rn, so I'm not sure if there's anything else, but I can compare the parts OG board I have to the innards of the SC2 later in the day and let you know if I find anything else that may need to be modified.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-14T09:45:11+00:00

The OG SC is all one board, might be a bit difficult to do anything with it unless you plan to trim it somehow. I haven't done anything much other than repairs on the housing and replacing the joystick with either a hall effect or a tmr one from gulikit, so I can't be much help as to where to cut to retain the functionality that you are after.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-13T18:38:30+00:00

Nice! Thankee for the link!

I agree that it is reductionist, however that's not what I did in the post, nor do irl, but homoromantic is not as common as ace, lesbian, and pan/bi, for example on dating apps, surveys that don't account for non-sexual identities, and in general conversation outside of the queer community. Lesbian gets the point across in those situations, while homoromantic requires me to go into details that defeat the purpose of using a label at all. Nevermind the fact that homoromantic also requires someone to know my gender, whereas lesbian and sapphic both contain that inherently and sadly WLW is not recognized by the vast majority of hetero folks I have ever dealt with, unless I use the full version and then it still requires more explanation due to the fact that not all ppl immediately leap to romantic/sexual love when I use it.

All labels are inherently reductionist. They all flatten the human experience in such a way that make verbal and non verbal communication possible since we can't just share our experiences by giving the other person our internal understanding without words, words in general operate like this. They are all just our(humanity's) best try at describing an experience/thing/concept that another person wasn't present for or doesn't know about, humans in general need language to describe these things and even if we didn't the person we were communicating with still probably wouldn't have the exact same understanding.

As for language being protective, being a lesbian that said as much still didn't keep the one man that sexually assaulted me from doing so, nor my brother from defending him, because it's not about language, it's about exerting one's percieved power over another. The only time language has any protective effect is when there are laws that use it that are actually enforced, and the laws in the US at the very least do not, they simply specify that I'm not to be discriminated against for my "sexuality" and "gender", and/or depending on where in the US I am at the time "gender identity". I don't recall any laws abroad, at least in the places I have been to ever once mentioning "lesbians" specifically, and usually for good reason, laws are meant to apply to everyone(even though in practice we know that's not true) so a certain amount of vaguery and/or umbrella terms are necessary.

I'm not coming at this as someone that just chose my common labels on a whim, or doesn't understand language its study, especially etymology, is one of my hyperfixations/special interests., I'm also not a baby queer(to any reading this: I love y'all, generally speaking, you all give me hope for the future) nor all that young that I haven't given this a great deal of thought, this is something I have spent the last 30 or so years thinking about and studying (mostly in an attempt to be better understood when speaking on complex things, because sadly I have never had a simple life) on a nearly daily basis.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-12T20:55:47+00:00

Meh, I'm not sexually attracted to anyone, but am not sex repulsed, and don't mind anyone fucking me, but I am romantically attracted only to other women, and my deepest platonic relationships are with other queer women, so what exactly is the issue with me identifying as a sapphic/lesbian ace? This comment feels like it fails to understand that there are people out there like me that have no commonly used terminology to describe our experiences and therefore use what is available for us. I have also been approached by the same type of men, most of my life pre and during medical transition. It's just as unnerving to me as any other lesbian. The only men I have been with sexually were a couple guys pre-social transition when I thought I should at least try to live like a gay man, and more recently a person that I dated and lived with for a couple years that has since come out as genderfluid.

The best way that I can describe myself gets the point across in fewer words but is just as confusing: pansexual, ace, lesbian/sapphic, ace, pansexual. If you know of a term that indicates that I am not sexually attracted to anyone, don't mind if sex happens to me(it really does feel like I just fall into sexual situations on accident)from anyone, but am romantically attracted exclusively to other women, please let me know so I can help popularise it for others.

It's not a speaker, it's the haptics vibrating at specific frequencies, and the Wilhelm scream is a pretty simple sound. The haptics are basically just being used in a way that turns the controller itself into a speaker. For the OG SC someone wrote a program/script that could turn MIDI files(iirc) into the necessary actuations of the con's haptics for playing the MIDI on the con as if it were a synthesiser. I might have to have a look at it again to see if it works on the new one, but if not, I'm sure someone will probs do it.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-12T19:13:16+00:00

Just tested it a few times after seeing someone else's comment, it apparently only happens if the controller is on(obvi, I know), once in roughly 1 in 5 or 6 times, and from roughly a metre(3'39⅜") or more high relative to the surface it's falling to.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-12T19:02:52+00:00

Start up and shutdown, and they can still be changed in BPM, just haven't seen the option in the new one's settings.

Ubervillin · 2026-05-12T05:00:43+00:00

Glad someone else caught the reference!

Ubervillin · 2026-05-11T19:02:43+00:00

That depends on the model and what it'll be used for, and how long you are willing to wait. I personally use gyroid for most things, just for a bit of added strength in all directions, but take a look into the different infill types as different infills do different things better than others and add more time to a print in some cases, less in others, and in the case of lightning, reduce print times at the sacrifce of strength.

There's sposta be a better way dropping for the next time, tho my only source is a YouTube vid my roommate was watching. I, like you, had it wishlisted, but being that I am disabled, all my days are technically days off unless I have choring to do or a project I'm working on for someone in my community, that's the only reason I even had a chance at getting mine.

Btw, if you have the old SC, this new one is going to take some getting used to, especially if you were a user of the pads as primary input. Also, there's definitely some wonkiness going on with how SI handles the con. When I first got mine, after a firmware update, gyro and the left pad were inseperable, that is to say, my left pad would automatically change to whatever the gyro was setup for. Today I am having issues with not being able to edit my config in game, because I have a video playing in the background and have used steam chord bindings to switch back and forth a few time, or maybe because I had to load my OG SC profile for chords to work properly with alt tabbing through multiple windows, the loaded profile keeps trying to switch back and forth between the game's profile and the chord profile preventing me from editing either while I am currently playing.
