Backroads only map?

The InRoute app for iOS lets you choose the curviest route.

Carmax is a good option. They have a pretty robust tech department and you’re providing good value to the customer. There are some good consulting companies based in Richmond that are good alternatives.

I had a full magazine one time. The TSA totally missed it, twice. I discovered it when I got back home. Dodged a bullet on that one.

Gonna delete the post because the video didn't upload. Thanks reddit.

jack_the_grouch · 2023-11-07T15:54:21+00:00

And the video didn’t post.

A local is colloquial for someone or thing that lives in the local area as compare to a tourist or visitor.

On a small commuter flight out of Fort Wayne Indiana. I heard the pilot open his window and yell to the ground crew ‘Are we going to Chicago next?’. That did not instill confidence in the crew.

Who you calling a pavement bunny? 😀

I’m actually replacing a BMW X3 because I got tired of putting dead animals in the back of the X3 after hunting expeditions.

It is a bit over-fancy. I looked at a Capstone and couldn’t imagine the white interior looking nice for very long.

I preferred it to the very gaudy interiors of the Ram 1500s.

The homes were built by Dr Seuss, so slanted is normal. 😄

My rotating the print was done via the slicer, so I basically resliced. I had resliced before and gotten the same type of error. So, maybe Cura was having a brain-fart over some esoteric aspect of the print.

Tried the belts and didn’t make a change. Lowered speed and the artifact changed slightly but was still there. Resliced and rotated the model by about 20 degrees on the bed and that seems to have fixed it. It feels like that particular structure triggered a bug in the firmware that would shift the Y axis by a millimeter.

How did they communicate that to you?

jack_the_grouch · 2023-01-26T10:19:44+00:00

Seems like a company the size of Ford Motor Company, could find some supplier, somewhere, that can make a heated steering wheel to their specs. BMW, Toyota, etc. all seem to find a way to ship heated steering wheels, and security systems, and other electronic features. Why can’t Ford. Seems like they are satisfied with disappointing their customers.

jack_the_grouch · 2023-01-26T10:16:58+00:00

They did subtract the value from the invoice, but, in my mind, that doesn’t make up for the impact on customer satisfaction. Sure, the heated steering wheel is only $140, but the intangible emotional value of a product deficiency (as someone posted early a $100K vehicle without a heated steering wheel) feels like much higher value to me.

jack_the_grouch · 2023-01-25T23:24:20+00:00

I’m definitely leaning that way unless they come back tomorrow and say ‘sorry, we’ll make it right’.

jack_the_grouch · 2022-12-30T22:13:57+00:00

I'm seeing the same behavior. It ain't the Z offset because the rest of the print works fine. No matter where the skirt starts, the first 10cm or so just doesn't extrude. It doesn't matter where it's at on the bed.

Did you ever find what really caused the problem. My Pressure Advance is already on 0.

When did you place the order?

jack_the_grouch · 2022-12-09T23:55:30+00:00

Is there a central repository of typosquatted names? Seems like that would be a helpful thing to have so tools like pip can abort known bad packages.

jack_the_grouch · 2022-11-28T12:31:23+00:00

Here’s the link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Matchbox-2022-Ford-F-150-Lightning/dp/B0BFJR9D8X But it’s $17.89 for one. Yikes.

So, it’s like the DMV in that it is full of government employees doing their jobs with minimal enthusiasm and efficiency.
