Still looking for a snake that's small enough. My normal goto, copper wire, is a challenge to use in small tubes as well.

You're not wrong.

I've noticed that seems to be happening, especially with companies like Amazon, whom I work for, aside from the money they can make from it. That said, we also have an example of that in the form of old Soviet Russia. They had actually eliminated most holidays.

That is also something that I have wondered about, but that probably isn't a thing because of salt buildup.

That's actually part of my question. The bowels also dump toxins overboard as well, but will they be enough to do the job?

True, though as is, we still need to take in water due to a shortfall in what we do take in. That said, I'm also wondering if my proposal would also result in other waste products being recirculated and building up in the system, causing their own complications.

I can totally see that, though what if the body was able to adapt to the new configuration and keep the gut bacteria in its place, but the urine still flowed into the bowels for reprocessing? What else would the large intestines pick up aside from water and maybe salt?

Then you'd be right back where you started for my purposes, still losing moisture unnecessarily.

I think that's called a bicycle.

A cloaca still has facilities for urine to be dumped overboard, doesn't it? My proposal is to recirculate it before dumping it overboard dry.

Would you pay $20 for a Big Mac? ...though they'll probably automate the cooking and cashier positions, so they don't have to pay an employee what I make as a robotics technician.

The main two things I like about start menus is that it keeps all your apps out of the way, and in some resemblence of organizatoin, instead of just barfing them all out in one big cluttered mess, which is part of what turns me away from Apple, or Gnome. However, they're not as easy to use on touchscreens. That said, ads deeply nerf this advantage.

I didn't realize that, though it seems to run fine on my potato (Ryzen 5: 1400, 16GB DDR4, Radeon 6770) with the occasional stutter, locked at 30fps 1080p for the most part. I haven't tried faster frame rates yet as I'm trying to mirror the feel of the game between both this system and my Deck.

Thanks for verifying.

I haven't gotten Genshin to work on Linux, though it may be because I just made a passing attempt, expecting a ban. Then again, I only play it once a blue moon anyway.

Crossover and Wine are the OG compatibility layers for Windows gameplay on Linux, and while I can't vouch for either one now, as Wine is the only one I used--back in the days of the original Unreal, I can say now that Steam's Proton is fairly straightforward and simple. Pretty much, unless it has some sort of anti-cheat malware, like BattleEye, everything "just works." .. and usually, if the game employs anti-cheat, and they catch you playing (fairly) on Linux, you're usually banned.

Looks like I may be going back to an all metal hotend. I had some decent luck with a Creality Spider, though I've found that it isn't in production and the choice of nozzles limited to pretty much the 04 nozzle that comes with most printers. What's the CR-10 all metal hotend that is popular and useful and with a good variety of nozzles?

While I know I'm not going to get SLA level detail (which I have given up on for now as I keep busting the LCD of my resin printer every set of prints) I am still hoping I can get to something recognizable, usually at 3x size for the figure, which I could do with the CR10 head and the Spider. Problem is, haven't been able to even begin to dial in the calibrations, which is what I'm asking for assistance with. Where is a good place to start my tests at?

I do use a dryer on most, if not all of my filament, so I know it isn't that. Thanks for the tip, though. I literally have a Sonyu dryer with the extrusion nipple of both the top and bottom drilled out to 1/2 inch to get rid of the moisture. I'm able to get it down to 25% humidity at 40c or so inside, and I'll leave it for days before I print. Same results.

You mean 14 year-long user of Fisher Price products? :3

I feel like they missed a perfect opportunity, though it may just be the most 2000s thing ever.

Why? Those are the best ones.

Looks good, though adhesives are notorious for failing once they get warm a few times, and will fail eventually. I would totally put a couple of screws holding them up. Beyond that, love the setup.

Are you using a sledgehammer to drag your cauldron like in the Getting Over It game?

Yup. He's still there. :3

It looks like going to Lemmy.zip is a bad idea, since .zip TLDs are usually used for nefarious reasons. Is there a certain reason you're going to that one instead of somewhere else?

I acutally didn't make any chanes to the system beyond just install the userspace apps I like, like Cura, Telegram, and the like, though I will look into Pipewire.

Clearly you have not seen my character sheet. People tend to be anything from Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil, so that might be something good to check.

Wait. Does Elon own Reddit as well as Twitter?

Don't you get to keep the porn, though?

I've Binged It On and gotten bonked.

...though if they do what YouTube is trying out, a system level blocker will eventually end up getting you locked out of the site.

I usually find the app and the web site are usually essentially the same on most platforms, plus most apps are designed for data farming, so to me, most apps are moot in function, and nothing but a security hole. You're going to have to do better than just not interrupting me as I come in to announce your app to get me to use it.

I know it has been a bit, but here's what I got. Maybe something will stick out to someone more trained than myself.

I've noticed pretty much the same thing. The GOP is looking more and more like the Democratic Party with each passing day, as if they weren't essentially interchangeable as it is. It's not out of the question that George Orwell's 1984 isn't too far off from what we actually do have.

Hey. Nothing in the Constitution would prevent him from running if he felt like it.

Certainly a neat look. I like tile effects like that sometimes.

I guess get Elon Musk to run. :p

While I say that being funny, as Elon is every bit as well hated IME, I have still been hearing a few names thrown about. Whomever they pick, they need to find someone who is no-nonsense and there to get things done, and not give us politics as usual.

...and that is, where? The web site in the open web, or the now closed r/linuxquesions?

I'm here trying to learn how this service operates, and am finding a few bugs that make it more challenging than it probably should be. Some things, like trying to post musings or my own miscilaneous content "to myself" (that is, it would be part of my own page that can be viewed, but not part of a particular community) just gives me a spinning wheel indefinitely. If nothing else, better feedback from the UI would greatly help.
