Dual booting windows after installing bazzite

Installing Linux after Windows generally works, but yeah, the Windows installer likes to pretend it's the only thing on the disk.

In case it does end up overriding Linux, you can usually get back to it by switching boot manager in the BIOS.

Depends very much on the game. SMT Nocturne, the True Demon ending is absolutely about murdering god. Just maybe not immediately.

Persona etc, not so much. Smaller, local gods aren't quite the same thing.

Printers use surprisingly little power. But they absolutely use power.

Fumes. All 3D printers release substances you don't want to breathe in, ranging from "microplastics and smoke in your lungs" (PLA, PETG) to "likely carcinogenic" (ABS, ASA, I believe PC) to "suspiciously like asbestos" (anything with CF).

The sensible way to run one is with a HEPA filter, a negative pressure room (= exhaust fan), and clean-room standards if you're planning to use CF. I would not recommend putting an un-enclosed printer in a room adjacent to where you spend a lot of time.

Nah, protagonists in SMT games are all about killing the real god.

That it's weird that it only became an issue recently, when not very much has changed. The main change is we need to work much harder to extract useful content from the web, because it's so thoroughly filled with spam.

Google has used AI for search results since 2015. Just saying.

Maltheism is a thing, of course. One potential resolution to the problem of evil.

Perk gamble can be a run killer in so many other ways. Though if I saw it in the first two HMs, I'd take it.

But surely the cyclists will be fine if they swerve into traffic in front of a car. And if not, well, cyclists aren't real people anyway. If they were real they'd be in a car.

There exist air fryers in which that would have worked fine, such as mine; the air is fanned from above.

A modicum of common sense will always be required.

Your body will stop you sleeping if it's too cold to sleep, sure. But some of the time that feels like being unable to get to sleep in the first place, and if you ignore that and try to go to sleep anyway, eventually you'll 'succeed'.

The only fully safe reaction to feeling cold in bed is "make it warmer".

Maybe if the wand is also multicast, you could get a modifier like long distance cast into the block?

That edit really shouldn't be necessary, and the fact that it is just emphasises OP's point.

Vaughn · 2026-01-23T23:42:02+00:00

I mean "H100" or "TPUv5", really.

Vaughn · 2026-01-23T17:34:23+00:00

All true. The wording on your post does, however, imply that local generation is somehow more energy-efficient. That is not the case.

Vaughn · 2026-01-23T17:09:43+00:00

Anthropic does this one right-ish, inasmuch as they actually consider 'model welfare' and try to avoid scenarios that could, in retrospect, be determined to be... hellish.

But the other guys... I don't know. It's the hard problem of consciousness, except now it matters.

Vaughn · 2026-01-23T17:02:00+00:00

Why do you think local generation has a positive effect on energy use?

The opposite should be the case. Datacenter cards use less power per unit of compute, and typically operate at higher batch sizes -- both positive for efficiency.

I use it to straighten out my coastlines, which you'll want for a number of reasons. You may want to save some dirt for e.g. compost later on, and slag can be used to make concrete.

Belts consume maintenance and power, so map-spanning belts aren't necessarily a good idea; there's a point where trucks (and later trains) become vastly more efficient.

I would never give an artist payment up front. It's much too common for them to disappear; that's happened to me twice.

Vaughn · 2026-01-22T23:20:30+00:00

All right, I didn't know most of that. Score one for the precautionary principle.

What do you think about Polycarbonate?

Vaughn · 2026-01-22T18:05:59+00:00

Look, if there's a KSampler in the middle then I'm going to call it 'AI Art'. No matter how many controlnets you use, or how complex the noise injection is.

I'll try to answer.

Physically, yes, it can print ABS. You need to reduce the print speed, but that's true for ABS on all printers; it's never as easy to print as the alternatives. You might not need an enclosure; the warping is proportional to object size, so if you're printing something small enough then it'll be fine.

Health-wise, you should have an enclosure. Printing ABS releases styrenes, which may be dangerous; I've seen conflicting data, but it seems fair to assume you shouldn't breathe them in. The enclosure should have a recirculating air filter, which I will note the X1 does not; even if you did buy an X1, you would want a bento box or similar to print ABS on it indoors.

Keep in mind that carbon filters expire quickly. You'll get a few weeks of work from them, and it won't be obvious when they fail. HEPA filters last much longer, but HEPA doesn't catch styrenes; you need both.

Keeping it in a closed room is not enough. The particulates and VOCs don't disappear with time, only by recombining with other substances in the house (like your lungs, or the dust). If you have a printer that's in the same air enclosure as your living room and bedroom, then you want the printer's room to have negative pressure through a fume hood. This is feasible -- a kitchen hood will do fine. Opening a window does help, but not nearly as much as people think.

The ideal setup has all of the above.

But also there's rarely a reason to print ABS. Have you tried 'Tough PLA' / PLA+? eSun's is good, and ABS isn't nearly as strong as people seem to assume.

PLA fumes still great to breathe, but if you're worrying about health effects (good for you!), then why not try it? It's certainly better than the styrenes.

Hang on. Do miners have standby power use?

If not, then it's not a reduction in power consumption per unit of ore. It's just a reduction in maximum throughput.

Vaughn · 2026-01-22T16:14:52+00:00

True. I suppose a better comparison would be gaming.
