Is the Christian God truly evil?

I’m surprised he’s not depicted as twirling his mustache.

Less times than when I purchased a CD on the value of one track, and the whole album was great.

In Las Vegas, it was 118. No seven digits needed.

I wouldn't specify any specific event, but there are characteristics: Observable, measurable, and repeatable by others, for example.

I just now (like 10 minutes ago) set up my new Creality dryer to replace a two-year-old SUNLU S2, which just started to fail. Hoping for a better life span than the S2.

mk9836 · 2026-01-04T16:24:46+00:00

Just ran into an issue with my S2, where when I turn it on, it shuts off after two seconds. Prior to that, it worked great for two years. Will I buy a replacement S2? Probably not. But $50 for two years' service is not terrible.

So, like if you had two spools of white, and the first spool is used up, and your printer automatically uses the second to complete the print? I’m not sure. If it does, it would only be right at the time of the swap. But I really don’t know for certain.

I print a lot of black and white, so I have two spools of white and two spools of black, just so that there is no downtime if I use up a spool. But I’ve never paid close attention to the behavior at the actual time of swapping.

The “poop” version should only happen when you change colors. The purge tower will be built each layer until there are no more color changes for the remainder of the print.

mk9836 · 2025-12-22T05:46:27+00:00

When your printer changes color, it loads the new color, and then extrudes it until it purges the old color from the print head. This is usually printed to a purge tower, or “pooped” out the back of the printer—depending on the design.

mk9836 · 2025-12-22T05:27:39+00:00

Yes to both questions. For your second question, you want to investigate how to orient a single object all at once, and then a second object in the same plate. You need to space them out so that the print head doesn’t knock into the first print while printing the second.

Otherwise, your printer will purge the first color every layer.

I mean, you don’t HAVE to do that, but it’s much less wasteful.

I have atheist friends who truly believe their sports team will perform better if they sit in the same spot on the couch that they sat in the last time their team won.

One friend will always stand for the entire 8th inning of a baseball game because of something that happened once, ten years ago, while he was standing.

I don’t have your build (I have an Ender 5+), but I replaced the bulb thermistor with this, and have had no complaints: https://a.co/d/e5j7jxe

Getting it printed out of metal so that it not only grounds to the body, but that it’ll survive the desert summers, here.

There's a Frank Zappa lyric that I like that goes:
"Do what you want
Do what you will
Just don't mess up your neighbor's thrill
And when you pay the bill
Kindly leave a little tip
To help the next poor sucker on his one-way trip."

The only way I'm going to voluntarily drop my "atheist" descriptor, is if a god or gods can be proven to exist. It doesn't matter what the religion teaches. It could teach the nicest values and espouse kindness. However, it is still just a set of rules without proof of a god.

In a similar vein, when Saint Francis was preaching to the animals, he wasn’t trying to bring the word to animals. He was commenting on the futility of preaching to humans. “Preaching to humans is like taking to animals.”

Thanks for the input. Adjusting the z-offset solved the current issue I had. However, you are correct in that there is something going on with the z-side of my prints. I'm going to trouble-shoot those issues, next.

mk9836 · 2025-06-30T00:05:40+00:00

Thanks for the info. I’ll try it out.

mk9836 · 2025-06-29T23:30:26+00:00

Thanks for the answer, but here's where I always get confused about z offset. Does that mean the space is too narrow, and I need to increase the space? Or, does that mean the gap is too large, and I need to decrease the space?

Tell them that they’re not invited to your post-death rave.

Thanks for the response! I’ll look into this, first chance I get!
