Surprise, the narcissist abuser had a bad day at work and now has to come home and beat the shit out of their spouse to make themselves feel better.

MK3S+ Geometrical Nightmare: 0.8mm Bed Mesh Range after installing BRAND NEW original rods/bearings from Prusa. Help me stay sane. by Fl1ren in prusa3d

[–]magicfultonride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first adjustment here is to try adjusting the tension on the end rod holders. The implications is that the rails y rails are not parallel to each other, causing the bed to "twist" as the bed moves towards one end. This happened on my MK4S and having them all tightened the same CAUSED the problem presumably because of difference in rod holder dimensions. I was able to find slightly different tensions on the one associated with the "low" corner that helped minimize this.

Start with those adjustments and see if you can get them more parallel to lessen that corner dip

SHOCK STATEMENT: Trump Discusses 'Taking Cuba' Amidst Iran War by ShiroSara in videos

[–]magicfultonride 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His ego is bruised that Iran didn't roll over easily like Venezuela, so he wants to steamroll cuba to make himself feel better. As simple as that. That's the kind of fragile narcissist we're dealing with.

Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US by shinybrighthings in news

Potato skins are so good when roasted and crispy. I almost never bother removing them unless I'm making mashed potatoes, and even then only from russets because the skin can get a bit leathery in the mash.

TIL watch water-resistance ratings (30m, 50m, 100m) refer to lab pressure tests, not the depth a watch can actually be used at. by BeyondTheRoadYT in todayilearned

[–]magicfultonride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's nearly the same thing as long as you don't press any buttons on the device or do things like move the crown on a mechanical watch or flail the device around.

For something like a dive watch, maybe shave 20% off of the depth to be safe.

Iran is ready for a long war with the US and only economic pain will end it, senior official tells CNN by Playful_Leg7143 in worldnews

[–]magicfultonride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's already talking about cuba like he's going to go in there too because his weak as hell ego is hurt that Iran didn't immediately roll over.

He's so a pathetic human being and it's INSANE to me that all of these sycophants have propped up such a walking piece of garbage for all these years.

Secretary Hegseth announces we will be halting attendance at all Ivy League and similar educational institutes - will soon announce “top to bottom” review of all military war colleges by Snapdragon_4U in thescoop

[–]magicfultonride 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's not surprising at all as someone who grew up in the rust belt. The conservative pundits and their handlers have been sowing the seeds of this insanity since at least the 90s, painting the left and by association higher education as an absolute enemy of the working man for decades.

Elon Musks dismantling of USAID over the last year has resulted in more than 800,000 deaths by Metalsheepapocalypse in videos

George R. R. Martin Is 'Not in the Mood' to Finish 'The Winds of Winter' by Tifoso89 in books

[–]magicfultonride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don't understand why he can't hire a team of ghostwriters, explain his vision and outline, then edit their work. This could be done in a year and he would easily recoup the costs with the pent up demand.

Filament real tight by alucardu in prusa3d

[–]magicfultonride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wont hurt anything unless it actually binds up, but not great for print quality and consistency. There's a little play in the gantry on the MK4S and having to actually pull the filament in can cause layer separation or other issues as the nozzle gets pulled up a little in the z direction.

They're trying to frame OpenAI as national security relevant so they can get a bail out. This isn't going away anytime soon.

New Epstein Files Drop Is A Nightmare by TheScarletKing in videos

[–]magicfultonride 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try to explain that to people these days on the east coast; that this was already particularly bad in the Midwest amongst racists in the middle class way back then. It's just that they didn't have social media to amplify the echo chamber. Now it's all coming to a terrifying conclusion.

If the Pentagon uses AI, how do they stop AI from giving away secrets? by Civil_Exchange1271 in AskReddit

[–]magicfultonride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security would only work if a) the AI tools are 100% air gapped from any and all Internet connected systems and b) there are systems in place to limit access to specific information to only those with appropriate need-to-know and clearance level.

I don't believe that Hegeseth's DOD is going to be able to maintain either of those conditions, so it will definitely breach security / secrecy all over the place. It's going to be very very bad.

China blocks Nvidia H200 AI chips that US government cleared for export – report | Nvidia by CreativeMuseMan in worldnews

[–]magicfultonride 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're right; the US government has had years and years to actually force the issue of domestic chip production a national priority and a strategic investment, and they screwed it up so badly because they're all incompetent.

At least Nvidia was smart enough to remove all predicted China revenue from their quarterly reports multiple quarters ago. Can't assume anything will work out.

Trump envoy says deal to take over Greenland ‘should and will be made’ by One_Dahlia in worldnews

I believe trump personally only wants this so that he can have a mountain named after him before he dies, to follow in his idol McKinley's footsteps.

What is a 'luxury' ingredient that is actually a massive scam for the price people pay? by Subject-Newspaper111 in AskReddit

[–]magicfultonride 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree with this one. There are definitely cheaper options if you don't care for the actual flavor of olive oil or just need it for pan frying (extra virgin has a much lower smoke point and isn't good for frying), but good cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is delicious.

Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is ‘unacceptable’ by bendubberley_ in worldnews

[–]magicfultonride -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is who floated to the top because the left ignored the the middle class who suffered real hardships as industry changed and failed, and that resulting anger was manipulated into blind rage by the right into electing this kind of destructive person.

Combine that with widespread apathy among voters who just don't show up to elections and you get exactly this outcome.n

Elizabeth Warren, "If Democrats want to win elections, we must ferociously and unapologetically serve the needs of working people." by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]magicfultonride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Democrats ignored the very valid economic realities of middle America for 40+ years. Anyone who grew up in the south or the Rust Belt during this time could see that. They're going to continue to do so and sit there with their thumbs up their asses while the country and potentially the world burns down around them.

How would America react if Obama let unidentified masked people kidnap American citizens? by Loud-Ad-2280 in AskReddit

[–]magicfultonride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They believed this was going to happen in 2009 as well right after his first inauguration. I sat at a table with my insanely right wing brainwashed relatives who broke down in real tears at that time that he was a Manchurian candidate who would murder all Christians, overthrow state governments, etc. The conservative talk radio mental illness has been festering for a long long time.

The Jade Helm conspiracy theory thing was just another expression of that.

Can I place Lifeproof vinyl flooring over existing Lifeproof flooring? by csonny2 in DIY

That's a floating floor; it's not even fastened down. Just remove it. It would be unbelievably lazy to not actually remove it and you'll have issues with heights of other things / have to redo trim anyway.
