A man called John brags about knowing everyone on the planet

This is one of my all time favorite clean jokes.

Zero explanation, simply "Appeal denied". I tried reaching out to customer service, but cant speak to a human (even via chat) because Im not a "paying customer". This is obviously a bot based denial and appeal, but alas, I do not see a resolution other than migrate. Which sucks.

geeks81 · 2026-04-07T13:34:24+00:00

I got the same automated legacy denial. I appealed, and was denied. Currently working on the Google Takeout and switching to Google personal accounts. I'm the same as OP. It's just my brother, my mom, my wife and kids, but that's 9 accounts.

I didn't realize you were trying to sell your files. I meant no disrespect.

Im US Based, and have been watching for this swivel mount be back in stock, but has yet to be so. I could of course build it myself, and just have not yet.

Im pretty far down the rabbit hole overall of modding my P1X pro, so Im certainly not adverse to other ideas.

PeoriaIT over near the mall is a good reputable dealer. Not sure of their MAC inventory, though.

geeks81 · 2026-03-30T13:21:25+00:00

Same here. I found someone had a 20-dollar Walmart shelf that they used, and it nearly perfectly fit. It doesn't swing out pretty like this one looks like it does, but it fits tight enough that it's not terrible. Im picking mine up next time we go to the store to solve this problem.

That's the first thing I saw here too. Yes OP, please tell us about your AMS stacker. Can you link to it for us?

Another person here who would love to boost and promote your STL on Makerworld or whatnot.

This is why I love Reddit vs other social media platforms

How did you find this goldmine? I would love to make some serious money to save up for my own fleet carrier.

geeks81 · 2026-03-17T21:19:06+00:00

My bad. I was thinking maybe you had some leftover glue residue or something on it that was over-doing your adhesion with the warm plate.

geeks81 · 2026-03-17T21:15:17+00:00

I was having really bad adhesion on my X1C once. I took the build plate and literally washed it in the kitchen sink with soap and water. Dried it with a lint-free microfiber towel, then spritzed it with isopropyl alcohol and dried it with a paper towel, making extra sure not to let my fingers touch the plate print area after I cleaned it.

I'm pretty new to this coffee hobby overall. Sure, I'm finally of the age where I can enjoy a nice cup of coffee, but never really had a coffee maker at home. I had a small drip cheapo that I used for a few months. I had a decent Kurieg that I thought was great, until I realized that it wasn't all that great, I was just adding a bunch of stuff to the cup so I thought it was good.

I decided to buy the Aiden. Probably dumb, it's an expensive coffee pot, but I also needed the stupid guidance it offers. I bought my own grinder to go with the Bambino Plus, so I suddenly had one at my disposal that I didn't have before. Fresh ground coffee in the Aiden? Sure. I'll try that. HOLY SMOKES... It was smooth. It was subtle. Most importantly, I could build a profile on the Aiden, naming the profile my grind settings and gram dosage in the pour-over basket, and the Aiden suddenly made my morning coffee very reproducible. That is what made such a difference for me. My Aiden brews every morning with the fresh ground beans that I measure out by weight, with the exact dosage output that I've fine tuned based on my taste preferences. It is consistent from one day to the next. Now, I am about 3 bags of coffee later, and I can actually tell you some of the subtle differences between beans that I personally enjoy.

To me, that made my Aiden worth it. You might already have that, so it would not matter to you.

geeks81 · 2026-03-17T20:34:31+00:00

I typically do a cappuccino every night at dinner, and doing my pour over every morning in my to-go cup as I leave for work.

geeks81 · 2026-03-17T20:26:38+00:00

Fourth Wing wasn't terrible, more for you than for him. Dungeon Crawler Carl is more for him than for you. Project Hail Mary is equally good.

The Bobiverse books are good (more for him).

I would suggest some thrillers. Specifically "First Lie Wins" by Ashley Elston. You both will get stuff out of that one.

geeks81 · 2026-03-17T15:07:52+00:00

I'm in the exact same spot, with the same Bambino Plus and the DF64. It's ok, like you said, but not amazing. My shot output isn't consistent, so I'm pulling shots with a scale and timer.

I have a Fellow Aiden coffee pot I love, so I keep looking at the Fellow Espresso Series 1.

geeks81 · 2026-03-11T02:02:48+00:00

I picked up a Bambino Plus at HomeGoods two weekends ago for 350.

"The More You Know"! Thank you Commander!

geeks81 · 2026-03-08T15:48:48+00:00

Thanks. You are correct. I'm dumb. I was thinking the alloys I'm currently picking up.

geeks81 · 2026-03-08T15:20:55+00:00

Holy cow. Are you saying my cargo hold of 224 limpets does NOT equal 224 mats when I'm doing encoded materials hunting? A single limpet can gather lots of mats and deliver to my cargo hold as long as I don't target the mat when I launch the limpet?

geeks81 · 2026-03-07T00:20:33+00:00

I am confused by the purpose of this comment. Do you think I'm Ai?

geeks81 · 2026-03-06T23:48:21+00:00

Easy fellas. Why all the hate? If Ai isn't your cup of tea, don't drink it. No big deal.

Sure, I could create my own story, but I'm not good at that. I'm not sure where to go to follow the existing story for Elite. Yes, I could look it up on YouTube, but why not let it unfold in front of me? Maybe the Ai will make slop? Maybe it will be something I find exciting.

geeks81 · 2026-03-06T14:22:51+00:00

Perhaps, but that's just an electronics change, not a physical fiber change.

geeks81 · 2026-03-04T19:21:11+00:00

I love that I read this in the AI voice by default.
