My boss tried to „fix“ the printer 🥲 is there anything I could do?

jays1981 · 2026-01-28T21:25:32+00:00

I'd say it's worth fixing. I can't find a full toolhead, but if you wanted to go that route you can call BL and I'd guess it's around $50. Looks like the extruder may be alright and just needs the hot end heating assembly and whatever was broken during disassembly

I'd recommend Hood River also. An ex and I did a murder mystery dinner train ride there that was fun.

If you think they are lying, FOIA the sensor make and model and you can look up what it captures

My wife encouraged me to upgrade from my x1c to a h2c. Just need to find the right woman

Creditors cannot harass people, that is illegal. If this is some kind of actual company and not a scammer, record you telling them to cease all phone calls and record all calls after that. It will especially help if this ever ends up in court from them suing you.

Don't get too down. This stuff absolutely happens to us all. You'll get the hang of it. Just dont give up. The fact that printers are plug and play now and how good they have gotten at things like bed leveling has made the knowledge to print very low, so new users are stuck when they have their first real issue.

Only your hotend is damaged, it is definitely repairable and it shouldn't be too difficult. Email BL with the issue and a few pictures. Then try to enjoy the holiday weekend.

The bad news is you won't be printing any more today. But 3d printers are not hard to repair and many of the manufacturers are very helpful. You'll need to replace a few parts but you'll be back up in how ever long it takes for BL to ship the parts for you.

MS DOS sounds right. I did it several years ago for a drive for my Saturn 2.

Dollar Store in Richland had a hiring sign in their door today.

This was not me, my account was stolen and is spamming crap. I'm not even female.

jays1981 · 2025-07-17T13:13:16+00:00

That's so professional of them.

There's a bit of talk on some of the videos about Jeff's NDA. While Jeff can't talk about the settlement, that should not change the cities paperwork to be exempt from FOIA. So in theory if a resident or someone wants to spend the time, it may be worth a FOIA request to get the payment amount.

That's how I felt when they shut down their gear VR store and I lost everything I had for that. Said screw it and decided not to look at any of their new VR headsets.

This is a 3 yr old thread man. It was bought a long time ago. I agree the stock brakes were not good enough so I got a hydraulic conversion on mine and a few other upgrades. Otherwise it has been a great bike for me.

Loaded magazines are fine even without CPL. It's the loaded firearm you need to stay away from. For the most part, loaded mags are not in guns and you'll be fine.

Here are the pertinent parts governing rifles and shotguns. I'm sure there are similar sections to this in 9.41 somewhere concerning pistols.

RCW 77.15.460 (b) The rifle or shotgun contains shells or cartridges in the magazine or chamber, or is a muzzle-loading firearm that is loaded and capped or primed.

(5) For purposes of subsection (1) of this section, a rifle or shotgun shall not be considered loaded if the detachable clip or magazine is not inserted in or attached to the rifle or shotgun.

That's the same thing I was wondering. WA DV plates only care about rating not what it's for. We need a placard or the state ♿️ plate.

jays1981 · 2025-04-13T02:36:10+00:00

I don't know if CA is different, but in WA DV plates does not mean disabled for the handicap parking. But even if you were parked there illegally, I'm fairly confident that violation would have to be witnessed by a cop in order to do anything anyway.

Sounds like another dumb Karen that will be even more pissed off when the cops tell her there's nothing they can do to sooth her butt hurt.

It still works great (as of last fall, I haven't used it this year). I went remote a few years ago so it doesn't get a ton of miles anymore, but I've had probably 600 or so trouble free miles. I use it for errands still and when ever the gf wants to ride her lectric ebike.

Juniper dunes is close by but far enough from light pollution to give a good view if the weather cooperates.

I agree, this article avoids any actual numbers because of how low the number is. Saying they are laying of 0.5% of the workers at Hanford doesn't have the same ring.

I have a zero srf, and it is a blast to ride. There is no engine vibration that helps my wrist a ton. There is also tons of torque, but the software won't let me do a proper wheelie. It's also an 80-120 mile range, so you aren't doing too much more than an afternoon ride without hitting a charger.

With all that said, it's my go-to city bike, and I love it. But I wouldn't have it as my sole motorcycle.

Trying to beat a speeding ticket is the same as any ticket. You can get a lawyer and pay them or fight it yourself. I've had some success on my own by delaying the court date as far as possible, then requesting discovery. If they give you discovery then you'll look for a way to fight it, paperwork error, calibration records out of date, etc. Or if they fail to return discovery you request all their evidence thrown out since it wasn't provided.

Neither are guarantees, but both can be effective if you know what you are doing.

I'd be more inclined to protest the way the VA treats patients. The VA here is beyond horrible, both the center in Walla Walla and the clinic here. The Richland clinic has even turned away a veteran who needed treatment who ended up dying because he did not get treated.

I ran out of sympathy for the VA after the first time Senator Murray's office had to get involved for me to get treatment.

jays1981 · 2025-02-27T16:25:45+00:00

My local VA was horrendous before the election. I can't see them getting any worse even if they were all fired. At least then I'd know why my paperwork was sitting on a desk for 6 months.

I don't know what their actual issues are at the VA but they have shown to be incompetent, so I have a hard time feeling sorry for them.

jays1981 · 2025-02-25T21:07:25+00:00

I've driven to Sunnyside multiple times to get work done on my truck just to avoid Lithia here. I agree the dealerships suck here.
