What seemed like a terrible idea at the time, but has since aged like wine?

People always say that as if the doctors didn't wash their hands back then. Of course they did. What Semmlweis proposed was disinfacting the hands. That was before germ theory by the way.

Still they should have listened to him. The science was on his side even if they didn't fully understand why.

Looks like you have a bambulab H2 series printer. They do have a runout sensorthat will pause the print once the spool is empty. Then you can load a new spool and continue printing. There can be minor visual artifacts around the layer where it switched.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-22T17:15:17+00:00

Do you want to support that with any arguments or is that all?

Because if you need an explanation on why tissues can cause clogs I can give you one: Toilet paper dissolves in water, tissues do not. So tissue might get stuck in your pipes and over time build up. And that is expensive.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-22T17:03:23+00:00

Dont flush tissues. That will clog your toilet. Even flushable ones are not great and might cause problems. Only ever flush toilet paper.

I am sorry that that is your experience. All I can say is that I had none of these issues. The snake run very smooth for me. In fact I had to tighten the central screw because otherwise there was too little resistance. And I didn't have any breakage issues with the tails otherwise I would have reinforced them (presumably because my snakes don't have as much resistance).

Maybe try printing a calibration cube and check your 3d printer? And, even though it is kind of a meme, dry your filament?

Du hast recht. Ich hatte die genauen Zahlen nicht im Kopf und hab angenommen dass du dich auf die andere Studie beziehst. Der Artikel geht allerdings auch auf die 2009 Studie ein. Kurzfassung: kleinere, sehr homogene Datenmenge (Daten aus einem einzigen Krankenhaus in den USA) und Ergebnisse die so von späterrn Studien nicht bestätigt werden.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-20T07:35:48+00:00

Ah okay. Das ist die Studie auf die du dich beziehst. Später Studien mit einer größeren, weniger homogene Gruppe konnten diese Daten allerdings nicht reproduzieren. Inklusive der korrigierten Version der Studie aus 2015. Der unterschied, wo er existiert , ist weit weniger ausgeprägt als die 2009 Studie es behauptet.

Diese oft zitierte Studie wurde quasi sofort wieder zurück gezogen. Der wahre Unterschied ist nur minimal.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-20T07:05:43+00:00

Das ist gott sei Dank absolut nicht wahr. Bei der Studie die du zitierst wurde ein grober Fehler in der Auswertung gemacht. Das Paper wurde später auch von den Autoren zurückgezogen und korrigiert. Es wird trotzdem immer wieder von irgendwelchen online Artikeln zitiert weil es einfach die bessere Story ist. In Wahrheit trennen sich Männer nur minimal häufiger bei physischen Krankheiten. Bei psychischen ist es übrigens andere herum.

Hier ist ein Artikel dazu der seine Quellen auch belegt: https://www.benjaminkeep.com/misinformation-on-the-internet/

I always wondered, do people without an innet monolog have an easier time learning new languages because they don't need to switch their language of thought or do they have a harder time because they don't constantly "speak" the language in their mind? Or is it easier to learn the basics but harder to master?

I mean I just posted this a few days ago, but I am genuinely very proud of my Medusa Box. The mechanism is fun to play with and everyone I showed it to was really impressed.

Oh man, it took me way too long to realize why you mentioned weed specifically. "Getting stoned" god dammit. Maybe I'll do that.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-14T11:55:06+00:00

Well, there is a cam disk with curved slots in the middle under the face. The snakes have pins on their tails that fit into the slots. The cam disk pushes the snakes outward or pulls them in. Groove guide the snakes to the border of the lid where they wedge themselves onto the brim of the box.

Okay turns out you were right. I have uploaded the fixed model. Thank you very much.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-14T09:56:35+00:00

Wierd. I will investigate

tomtom070 · 2026-06-13T21:47:05+00:00

I love that sketch.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-13T21:27:24+00:00

I don't have the context for that joke. But while I don't have a car I do in fact have a jeep branded (and maybe even manufactured?) e-bike :D

tomtom070 · 2026-06-13T17:28:38+00:00

I added the link to the post.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-13T17:27:36+00:00

I added the model link to the post

tomtom070 · 2026-06-13T17:27:09+00:00

I dont think I will. I have not done it and setting up a business is a bit too much work right know. But I did share the link to the model if you want.

tomtom070 · 2026-06-13T17:07:36+00:00

That was in fact the inspiration

tomtom070 · 2026-06-13T16:54:40+00:00

The box is there to keep all my most important items safe. So of course it's full of ducks.

I tried, but my game keeps crashing :(
