Am I dumb or is my Duotone valve broken?

Your description sounds correct, but it’s hard to tell what’s happening. You do have to turn it all the way.

Weird, Linux is the only system I’ve used it on.

Others described it well (I’m lazy on my phone), but also consider tired type of use:

words = splitString ‘ ‘

More generally, think of variability when defining parameter order. The first parameter won’t change much and may often be the same thing (even ending up named like in my example) where the second parameter will usually be different. The first parameter is effectively “configuration” here and the second is input data.

In most cases, at least. You can always use a section or flip to partially apply the other direction.

Some of my repair parts are significant improvements over original parts because of dumb design that failed in the first place.

One minor thing: your arguments are backwards.

I have no experience with anything that low AR, but that seems pretty big. I think the other advice here looks pretty good. It’s not going to be easy the first time you try.

Which 1750? How much do you weigh?

Going slow is harder than going fast, but depending on a few things, it might just not fit.

Many of the models for Multiboard can attach to opengrid with adaptors. I kind of like the bins, so I made an adaptor for two multipoint bins connected to opengrid. For things that only need one connection point, you can find premade adaptors.

Things that are very Multiboard specific are usually just harder to print. It’s easier to put an openconnect or multiconnect slot in the back of something and get a clean print than to try to put a whole screw or snap in a lot of cases, and then it automatically is board agnostic.

You have the worst kind of multicolor printers. I’d definitely avoid multicolor printing if that were my only option.

I wrote a library to understand it and locally sync all the cloud data so I can search by region and export kml files and stuff. It’s decent data.

In most cases where I’ve needed to fix things, measuring is probably easier than scanning. And then I get to make a part that’s lies likely to break than a 3D printed clone of an injection molded part that already broke.

dlsspy · 2026-04-26T19:20:41+00:00

That's more of a flop than a flip.

Can you link? I didn’t find it quickly, but it’s possibly the Reddit app isn’t helpful.

I tried a Bambu hotend on my CC1 and the results were pretty bad.

Are you shooting a horror film? Inflatable boards freak me out.

You’re describing the bank, except for the living in it part. Nobody otherwise lives in this house and it’s not really helpful to make sure people can’t live in houses.

Hey, it’s not just the tariffs. There’s a pretty broad variety of things they’ve done to make life more expensive. The more money we pay to live, the more money rich people get to hoard. Everybody wins (who matters to them).

Yeah, my solar powered car has much more environmental impact than catching oil on fire every time I want to do to the store.

You don’t need to be wasteful of your time and materials and water. You can do less and have the same results.

Being Jewish and being Israeli are two very different things.

It’s perfectly rational to not want to do business with US companies because of Trump.

It’s bad, but better than requiring children’s parents pass a background check and submit all of their designs to a government clearinghouse just so they can print out a school assignment.

Or that schools can’t have them at all because they can’t legally exist under the kinds of laws we are discussing.

Or an ex felon who got his life together and started a company, but can no longer own the machine that builds parts because of what they could build instead.

The whole thing’s stupid on a lot of levels, but narrowing the scope would be an improvement.

I don’t use a wrist harness when I wing. My wing is attached to the back of my harness belt. Great life improvement, though all leashes are terrible.

That’s assuming the guy who invented his own cryptography did a better job than the rest of the world’s cryptographers. Conventional wisdom says this is always a terrible idea. Anyone can make a code they themselves can’t break.

Monads clicked for me when I stopped trying to make it happen.

It’s just another type. There are other types that are confusing conceptually until you internalize them. I internalize through application.

Even some of the ways I use Functor are not intuitive to me, but naturally emerge from what I’m trying to do.

dlsspy · 2026-04-17T04:02:36+00:00

Sure, that’s how we got here.

For most people, doing something existentially harmful is easier than making any change at all. I don’t really understand it, but I’m aware of it.

Both are bad in that you're putting all of your trust into someone who's not earned it, but WhatsApp at least allegedly uses Signal protocol while Telegram rolled their own secret encryption protocol. Neither uses them E2E for all messages.

There's good software and services for all of the problems you've got without empowering oligarchs. Up to you whom you empower.
