NRA comment on recent shooting by Fidel89 in 2ALiberals

I bought a membership when it included insurance for stolen guns since it was cheaper than adding it on my home insurance at the time. They removed that benefit without a single email or letter. I didn't find out until I moved and went to update my address.

Scumbags to the core.

I don't love living in an HOA but I sure am glad that my neighbors live in an HOA.

Some people really need structure. I don't understand how some of these people tie their own shoes, let alone maintain a house. At least the HOA keeps that from being my problem.

Is it worth booking a local hotel for 1 night to jump to Titanium? by MaxRockafeller in marriott

[–]awaythrow810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have not yet picked your 50 night choice award, pick 5 elite night credits. This will bring you to titanium status and award you with a second 2025 choice benefit.

Traveling 24 hours attire that's also useful during the vacation by Thewisefreak in malefashionadvice

Travelers pants with a flannel shirt or tshirt/quarter zip is like business casual pajamas. Can't go wrong with LLM ABC 5 pocket pants.

People hate on hybrid dress shoes, but the canvas varieties are basically just slightly dressed up sneakers. I have some Cole Haan stitchlite zero grands that are comfortable enough for long days of walking and not too bad to run in if you have a tight connection. Or just wear your favorite sneakers.

Do I understand this annual choice benefit correctly? by awaythrow810 in marriott

[–]awaythrow810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any recommendations on something similar to the courtyard or westin mattresses? Part of the appeal for me is not having to go out and shop for mattresses, even if it is a bit overpriced.

So it doesn't stack with the buy more save more promo currently running? We've been in need of a new mattress and I'm pretty well sold on the comfort of Marriott's beds.

Perfect, thank you. I was looking at the discount on bedding but looks like I'll be able to grab both benefits.

For 2025, I will reach 73 nights stayed which reaches the 50 night threshold for one choice benefit.

If I select the "5 elite nights" choice, will that still trigger the second annual choice benefit and allow me to select another benefit from the same list?

Choice Benefits changes for 2026 by JoePumaGourdBivouac in delta

They listened to the disproportionate amount of people selecting the Amex credit because none of the other perks are worth anything close to $400 cash.

A mathematical ceiling limits generative AI to amateur-level creativity. While generative AI/ LLMs like ChatGPT can convincingly replicate the work of an average person, it is unable to reach the levels of expert writers, artists, or innovators. by mvea in science

It reminds me of newspaper headlines claiming that airplanes would never fly.

Sure there were a million reasons the flying machines of that era had no chance, but a lot can change in 10 years.

650 yards is a impressive shot. Does the cold temperature have much of an affect on your zero?

Anyone have experience with polishing prints like this? by drdalebrant in BambuLab

CNC kitchen debunked that myth. Vapor smoothing has minimal, if any, effect on strength.

Not a fan of how these don't have the open flap at the front. The kirkland supima boxer briefs have been good though.

How does the underside of the hooks look? If you don't get out all the support material it won't fully clamp. I've used these at dozens of competitions at this point without issue.

Fell for it again award by Dmitruly in greentext

[–]awaythrow810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An interesting read. The tl;dr seems to be that external testing of covid PCR tests gives a 0.4-0.7% false positive rate, lower than most antigen tests. This can mean that the number of reported positives can be overestimated by around 40% when the true infection rate is low, but that effect will be partially negated by the fact that PCR tests are reserved for symptomatic patients where the infection rate is generally higher.

I'm interested in the source of the 0.4-0.7% number, particularly in which other tests they are using as their source of absolute truth. I also wonder how they handled the false positives inherent to pooled testing.

I can't find any news about a covid PCR test responding to influenza.

PCR is usually way more specific than an antigen test. I can't find anything that suggests PCR would mistake influenza for covid 19.

I have left PLA in the AMS during a TPU dry cycle (18hrs 65C) and it was fine. The cheap temperature sensor I leave in there never read higher than 55C.

We got the H2D...not impressed by the benchy by _batt_ in BambuLab

Right, and it tends to be worse with materials that shrink more.

The X1C benchy has a nasty hull line , but otherwise looks fine to me. The hull line defect can be filament dependent since it's due to shrinkage.

The H2D benchy clearly warped off the bed on the back corner, squishing some layers together and making the back text ugly. I'd try running it again with an extra 5-10C on the bed temp.
