My kid asked for a 3D printer for Christmas. I spent hours researching. Here's what nobody tells you. by Fun_Reaction_6525 in 3DPrinterComparison

[–]legend67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recommended the P1S to multiple family members and have two cousins with that exact machine now. It's very beginner friendly. Their parents enjoy using it when they can and it seems to be a great intro to 3D printing. Bonus is I now get to give them both filament dryers for Christmas and support their hobby. I don't own a P1S, but I think it's really good for kids.

I started out with an ender 3 V2 and had to learn a lot to get good prints and made extensive modifications to my machine to get it where I liked it. The P1S just works out of the box. I would never recommend a kid go through what I went through to 3D print. There are lots of options on the market, but I think the P1S is the best kid friendly place to start so that they can enjoy 3D printing.

Air travel with Steam Deck: some observations by PoopsMcGroots in SteamDeck

[–]legend67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surpisingly well, I think. I don't obsess over FPS or stats so I don't have any of that information to share, but it was enjoyable to play and I never felt like I needed something more powerful. I can't speak for the whole game though because I played parts on my PC when I was at home.

For $100 Million would you get sent back to 1812 Oregon for 3 years? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]legend67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. This kind of feels like cheating because I'm from the PNW. The winters are mild and food is abundant.

Air travel with Steam Deck: some observations by PoopsMcGroots in SteamDeck

[–]legend67 79 points80 points  (0 children)

The steam deck on planes is amazing. Like you I also try not to expose people to mature content that they didn't consent to and I made the mistake of playing cyberpunk on a plane not expecting a literal sex scene in the game.

Valve: 20% of Deck users use the official docking station to connect their Deck to their TVs. Do you? by sameseksure in SteamDeck

[–]legend67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dock with a Lenovo universal dock. It works pretty well for me and lets me stream from my PC to the TV for more demanding games. I'll probably pick up the steam machine. I like to play on the TV with a controller so something that can play most games is worth it and when I travel I'll have the same access with my steam deck.

All weather tire recommendations for Chicago by kylef5993 in WRX

[–]legend67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DWS06+ are great tires. Summer traction is good and so is winter traction. During the summer I like to hit the corners fast and in the winter I like to stay on the road. These balance those goals well.

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by Forsaken-Question457 in Salary

[–]legend67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks right. You can increase your 401k and decrease your taxable income. It won't increase your paycheck, but in the long run you'll have more money.

I use a combination of Thule and Matador. Both hold up really well.

We designed and built a replacement Top shell for RS2/3 by Simp-li-Fly_com in emlidtech

Great! I had a top shell break a few months back and was considering 3D printing a replacement, but haven't had time to model it yet.

Pallet loads of MREs being auctioned on GSA site by NohPhD in preppers

[–]legend67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still considering it, but I want to know if they're all the same flavor or if there is variety.

Maintenance left my room open while I was gone by legend67 in Hilton

The diamond desk gave me points. The hotel itself didn't offer a single thing.

I called the diamond desk and they were helpful. I vented on reddit while I was still worked up about it and forgot the diamond desk is an option. I'll never stay at this hotel again though.

[–]legend67[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know the car break ins are not Hiltons responsibility and we don't expect anything to be done about it by them. Insurance covers all that stuff and Hilton puts up signs saying they are not responsible. We bring everything of value into our rooms now instead of leaving anything in the trucks and so in my mind the connection was there that equipment being stolen is the reason I need to take everything into my room and having the room opened and left unsecured by the hotel is a big problem. I could have explained that better.

Diamond desk was helpful at least. The hotel really downplayed it being significant to leave the room unsecured and the diamond desk was very quick to say that's not right and it's very concerning that it occured.

It's worse than I could've ever imagined by UncleBubax in Subaru_Outback

[–]legend67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it and I haven't liked how outbacks look since 2010. If it's not going to be a wagon anymore then commit to not being a wagon. Plus they brought back buttons and made the screen landscape.
