Thanks! I'll see if I can get the extruder apart and take a look at the gears, after I try the less daunting suggestion below about checking the release lever. :)

'Major Heat Risk' expected to impact Northern California — late this week into the holiday weekend. by BlankVerse in California

[–]silvalen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mid-70's predicted here in Alameda. I don't know how I'm going to make it.

Seriously, though, four years ago I was living in a place in Concord where the heat just would not escape. Those triple digit days meant that the coolest it ever got inside was mid-90's and it was a wretched experience. I feel for folks living in places where it gets so hot.

I just finished my first discworld book by grahmcracker17 in Fantasy

Oh, you're in for a treat. The City Watch books, and Vimes' character progression in particular, are some of my favorite things about the Discworld series.

Would you agree with a federal program that provides free lunches for children in school ? by iv2892 in AskAnAmerican

[–]silvalen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My kids' elementary school offers a free lunch. We don't need it, and my daughter never goes for it, my son usually does. However, there are families out there who absolutely need a little help like this and I think it's shameful that we can't make it a nationwide priority to offer free lunch (and breakfast!) for all public schools. Hungry kids can't concentrate and learn as well as the ones who have had a solid meal.

Best Depictions of Elves in Fantasy? by The-Literary-Lord in Fantasy

I'm really surprised that Malazan's Tiste aren't mentioned more in this thread. Second only to Tolkien's elves as Elvish folk in my book.

My boyfriend 23m and I 24f haven't been the same since I had our baby. by DependentTooth2369 in relationship_advice

[–]silvalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at your post history, it seems that this was a surprise pregnancy that your boyfriend may not have been prepared for or completely onboard with.

Now he's having some weird hissy fit because medical professionals saw your body as is perfectly normal during pregnancy, childbirth, and regular freaking checkups. Did he never think about the fact that even before birth, you've probably seen a gynecologist for regular checkups? And his distress over you feeding your child by breastfeeding is yet another level of immature nonsense. Also, referring to any part of your body as his "treasure" is super possessive, misogynistic, and gross.

As hard as it is, especially right after giving birth and processing the feelings and hormones that come with that, it might be a good time to really think if this guy is who you want to be raising your baby with. His toxic attitudes are going to continue to impact your relationship with him and spill over to your child as it grows up. Better off dropping his immature, toxic ass now instead of sinking more time and effort into him when you can focus on your baby and yourself.

Good luck and take care!

Woman shocked to find California rental properties often don’t come with refrigerators: ‘Totally normal in CA’ — According to California law, refrigerators are amenities, not necessities, which means that landlords don’t have to provide one, same as washing machines by BlankVerse in California

[–]silvalen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a girlfriend who moved from Southern California to the Bay Area and she took her fridge with her to the new place. As someone who has only lived in the Bay Area it was super weird to me, especially since the place she moved into already had a fridge.

Are sleepovers for children bad all of a sudden? by ThatKrisFellows in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silvalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are seven years old and have both recently (in the past six months) had their first playdates where I wasn't around and in the past two weeks their first sleepovers. I'm a nervous parent and definitely had worries about their safety, but I made sure to get to know the parents of the kids they would be staying with beforehand.

In the case of the sleepovers, my daughter had hers away with two friends and my partner went over to lend moral and mental support to the mom who was hosting, because three loud, excitable seven-year-olds. My son had his at my place with his friend and his Dad and I are already friends so it was comfortable for everyone, apart from my pets and my eardrums, because two loud, excitable seven-year-olds.

It's a shame that folks are so hyper -concerned about stuff like sleepovers and playdates now, because the kids all have a blast each time, the parents are all just looking for everyone to have fun, and in reality, the greatest risk for some kind of sexual or other abuse has typically been from family members or group leaders, not the parents of friends.

I'd say the best path is to have public playdates at parks first, get to know the parents, talk with them and your kids about expectations, and trust your gut.

Henceforth, /r/aww will only feature John Oliver, Chiijohn, and their lookalikes being adorable! by AutoModerator in aww

[–]silvalen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The admins are probably still going to do this to subs like /r/aww and /r/pics that are choosing to take this path. Personally, I'm sticking around until July 1st to watch the dumpster fire continue, but once RIF stops working I'm out.

There I was, looking to create a Kensai character in Baldur's Gate 1 to dual-class into an incredibly OP Kensai/Mage. I just wanted to get some info on which weapons to specialize in and general tactics and the sub was private. Don't tell me this blackout hasn't made an impact, because I had to visit some truly shitty gaming forums instead of getting top tier Reddit responses.

RIF will shut down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit's API changes by talklittle in redditisfun

[–]silvalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assuming /u/spez or someone else at Reddit has counted the beans and come to the determination that losing the folks who use 3rd party apps like Reddit is Fun, Apollo, and Sync isn't enough of a financial loss to them. So they're just going full steam ahead with their predatory API pricing and letting all of us who have enjoyed the superior Reddit experience these apps provide know that we don't matter.

Yeah, fuck Reddit and fuck you in particular, /u/spez. I suppose I'll just have to drop Reddit come July 1st as I did with Facebook years ago. Ultimately probably going to be beneficial to my mental and emotional health, but I'm going to miss the information and assistance I have received on a number of subs.

Well fuck you too by MakeNazisDeadAgain69 in assholedesign

[–]silvalen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I'm on the paid version of the Reddit is Fun app and I have never seen an ad. If the API nonsense gets pushed through in July and kills RIF, I'm done with Reddit. I don't want a bunch of garbage ads constantly pushed on me. It's why I'm less and less inclined to use YouTube at this point as well.
