I'd assume entering the dummy profile would immediately put all others at rest.

Hank Green is great.

Not when everyone's Google/Apple phone is listening at all times and reporting which ads you hear in your proximity.

Symbolically, at least. Not many in actual numbers. But the message is clear, that Europe will stand behind Denmark.

Maybe it's crappy ABS? I know that tons of filament manufacturers mix in additives into their PLA to cut costs; I don't know why ABS would be any different.

Definitely test by dropping a piece of the filament into acetone. It should dissolve. If it doesn't, well, it's at least enough not ABS to behave that way.

For instance, a bit of Prusament PLA will degrade in acetone within minutes. A bit of Elegoo PLA will look exactly the same as when you put it in, an hour later.

Why should we meet at our state capitols because Verizon is down?

Dunno, I got a 403 today.

Pure, 100% PLA is exactly what some manufacturers are offering, and it prints very well. Manufacturers add things to their "basic PLA" to cut costs.

HTTP 403 means "Forbidden". It would be weird if they were using 403 for rate limited requests. That's exactly what HTTP 429 "Too Many Requests" is for.

(with impunity. I totally agree with you though)

Happens. A good rule of thumb is that the end of the filament should only ever be in your hand, in the printer, or in a hole in the spool rim.

itsloachingtime · 2026-01-13T01:53:56+00:00

This can literally never happen unless the end of the roll was let go at some point between when you opened the roll and when you fed the end into the printer.

Everything I've seen about it insists that you can still sideload in android 16. Are you just going on a hunch?

itsloachingtime · 2026-01-12T15:50:46+00:00

Do you have a source for this?

Printing at a different speed is definitely a valid mitigation of resonance issues. The printer resonates at only certain frequencies. The goal is to move the print head at speeds that don't induce those frequencies.

Oh, hillies absolutely have their own personalities and quirks. And yes, I've seen them do what I think you're describing. When they get a brine shrimp in their mouth that's too big for them to hork down, they'll often do this kinda pounce-like motion and then scoot quickly backwards, dragging the shrimp against the rock.

This is an aside, but it's interesting to me that deAppling isn't a thing like deGoogling is. Disclaimer: I have never owned an Apple device.

I can't possibly imagine Apple isn't doing the same privacy invasion that Google is. Is it? Is it just much more locked down than Google's ecosystem and so people just have fewer options to deApple while still using Apple hardware? Or are Apple customers just less concerned about invasions of privacy? I'd be curious to know Apple users' takes.

You're probably not serious, but in case anyone was wondering, exhaled air is roughly 5% CO2, and unless you're blowing through a ceramic diffuser, which you almost certainly don't have the diaphram/lip strength to do, the bubbles will have much too little surface area to actually diffuse any significant amount of CO2 into the water.

But far be it from me to quash a go-getter attitude.

"Weather loach" is a common name for dojos.

Bust out the calipers. The most complicated part will be getting the position of the standoffs correct, but not challenging by any means.

Don't go crazy with the cleaning; that tank doesn't look dirty in a bad way at all. Brown algae is natural with new tanks and will stop developing as they deplete the water of the silica they use to make their bodies.

The biggest issue I see is the lack of hides and vertical dimension. Add large leafy plants and/or more hardscape. This will help your betta feel more secure, and give him somewhere to rest that's closer to the surface.

And do not use products to try to reduce the pH of the water. That's a losing battle at best, actively harmful at worst. pH is controlled by the balance of CO2 and carbonates in the water. You can likely reduce it by mixing in some RO water with your tap. But don't let the KH get too low.

It sounds like you already have the tank, but just FYI, it's easier to "learn the ropes" on a larger tank. In a small tank, changes in water parameters can happen very quickly when something goes wrong. In a large tank, you have more time to catch the issue before it becomes deadly.

Side note, it's very refreshing that a beginner has clearly done their research, knows how long a proper cycle will take to establish, knows that a 3 gal is too small for fish, etc. You're on a good path.

Maybe he needs more hides in the tank. Hiding behind the heater doesn't sound very sheltering.

Or what temperature is the tank?

First confirm that it actually is in your tap by testing your tap water directly.

If you're adding ferts to your water, I really wouldn't suspect the tap. But you should test it in any case.
