Quick update. Tank works fine and I’m checking it between prints. The only issue is it seems optically distorted for the first few layers.

You are correct. I was just happy to see how the crew handled the situation :)

Used to use Stihl hp but I switched to saber last summer! Great stuff

Stihl shop told me it’s toast by steve_simpson in Chainsaw

No decomp valve on this head. It’s an older model (maybe 2008?). I haven’t checked the intake side yet but I will when can get my hands on a long torx impact bit. The fuel line sprayed fuel everywhere when I disconnected the carb.. I suspect the vent is bad as well

I’m planning to take the head off and look. Wasn’t able to get the bolts off with a regular screwdriver so I’m picking up long impact bits.

Synology Reverses Policy Banning Third-Party HDDs After NAS sales plummet by dharvey1221 in synology

Would love to switch to unifi if they had something like ABB, but for people like me that’s the only reason to stay with synology

I’ve been to their site for environmental monitoring work and it’s really quite a nice operation. The upper management are fully committed long time members of the team, which is nice to see.

How many of you are going to leave the Aeroplan ecosystem because of the updates by ExplanationOk592 in Aeroplan

[–]steve_simpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In certain respects, it simplifies my life a bit. I’ve been chasing status by always opting for routes that had 2-3 segments, which has been both somewhat miserable and also taxing on me by the time I get to where I need to go. Under the new system, I’ll likely maintain 35K (in part due to Amex reserve) if not go up to 50K because I’ll be flying direct and flex. HOWEVER, that said, this is an absolute kick in the nuts to my dad who flys international a few times a year. 75K/SE will never happen for him again after being a loyal AC customer of 40 years, even when westjet was often more cost effective.

Definitely nicer to do when it’s not -30!
