There's an interesting Streisand Effect happening thanks to Kaizen3D around www.timeplast.com filaments. Let's just say they have provided less than stellar customer service. But beyond that, this site is a deep pile of AI WTF. Seriously, their sales pitch is "Ask ChatGPT how our stuff works?" 🤯🫠

First time printing ASA on my #PrusaXL and: - it doesn't automatically use the entire bed to heat the chamber. - it refuses to turn on the enclosure fan even a tiny amount (not even manual override!) to prevent fumes leaking out and smelling up my office (VOC sensor hovering around "unhealthy").

Introduce yourself with five animals you've seen in the wild: Orca Amazon river dolphin Piraña (and I ate it!) Beluga Otter (both river and sea)

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: Peter, Paul, and Mary Afro-Celt Sound System Dropkick Murphys Great Big Sea Jake Shimabukuro My music tastes are nothing if not eclectic, but I've never been that big on concerts (not a fan of crowds or too-loud speakers).

You know it's getting colder when the cats start using each other as blankets.

This article makes me so mad, I can barely speak. No, I will NOT be linking to it or the bill mentioned in the article. They're just MAGA propaganda. We've already discussed how worthless Joni Ernst is as a senator before, so we won't even revisit that topic. Let's talk about the RMP, though. 🧵

You probably want to turn off this feature if you use gmail and you don't want Google to share all of your private conversations (bank statements, prescriptions, etc) with their AI to accidentally leak to who-knows-where.

God I would just love for every journalist with credentials to ask all the people who voted for this to define socialism.

If you haven't already (why not!?), go read or listen to The Fifth Season (Broken Earth series) and you will understand why she deserves this (and every other award she's won).

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

To every single one of these meal prep/delivery services: Vegetarian meals DO NOT MEAN "full of carbs with no protein." Give me an option that is both "no dead animals" and "not 90% white starch." FFS, it's 2025. We know more about nutrition now!

Graham Platner is running for US Senate as a progressive Democrat. He also had a Nazi tattoo for 18 years. Is he a Nazi? Is he a government plant? Or is he just a shady, lying little PR disaster who will only damage the Palestinian cause? skepchick.org/2025/11/grah...

Hey @prusa3d.com, how are we supposed to be able to earn one of those snazzy "Printables Promoter" badges if Printables isn't even here to tag/share posts from? Can I earn one by pestering you to join (and put a link on the website) and at least cross-post from the other sites?

Who thought up the "why did you hide this?" reasons at Youtube? - Stop suggesting videos I've already watched! - I can't dislike a video I didn't watch. Dislike and "not interested in" are not the same. - I hid the video because it has a fucking AI thumbnail and I don't support creators who steal.

Ok, I've wasted way too much time on this. Now it has faces (yes, plural, and also "without" because my family says the plain one looks like Hollow Knight) and a few variations on the lever. But I'm done now, I swear! (until someone sends me bug reports). Find it on @prusa3d.com Printables.

I don't think it counts as a ratio when 99% of the comments are "thanks for the reminder to unfollow after you fired all of those good reporters last week" but … wow. Also, thanks for the reminder to unfollow now that you fired the people who have to go elsewhere to tell those stories that matter.

Any 3D printer people out there want to test my latest design? After the latest Zack Friedman video, I thought I'd try my hand at a new style of filament clip. These hold tighter than anything else I've used, stay on the spool while printing, and they even look cute!

Kudos to @lastweektonight.com for covering felony murder, an incredibly racist law used to charge people for murder when cops kill someone using "look what you made me do!" abuser logic. Abolish it. youtu.be/Y93ljB7sfco?...

My dad turns 80 this week. Many memories were shared of our family ice cream (frozen custard) recipe that claims to go back over 100 years. But it changes every generation or so as people try to fix it because it usually turns out like frozen vanilla soup. For posterity, here are some variations. 🧵

Really wishing DACO was as catchy as TACO because W. T. F.

Hey @support.bsky.team It appears that new additions to block lists aren't propagating. I've tested with a few accounts and they get added to the list, but not blocked. Manually blocking, and removing and re-adding an existing entry works as expected.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

EFF teamed up with AV Comparatives to see how well anti-virus apps detect stalkerware on Android phones. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

And don’t trust GenAI for information about voting accessibility/procedures. So many states have different rules that probabilistic slop will misguide you! cdt.org/insights/bri...

Teen Vogue changed my life and their politics team was doing incredible journalism comparable to very little other publications. I can't say I'm not disappointed with this decision. Sending y'all love❤️

This also does not bode well for the future of political reporting at @wired.com (also owned by Condé Nast). If it matters to any of them listening, I subscribed to the more expensive print edition this year _specifically_ to support the political reporting. You'd be useless to me without that.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

We've become known as the "3D printer house" for Halloween. Turns out even the parents ask for something to take home; we're all kids, no matter what the age! Any other Makers out there replace or supplement their candy stash with fidgets? It also helps include kids with food allergies.

We don't talk about either of these concepts much anymore. We really should start again. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_...

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

Finally caught in the act! This is why we have to keep some of our doors locked at all times. Three out of our four cats can open these doors, and two of them can open them from the other side, too. The fourth cat makes up for this by closing doors and getting locked in.

A local candidate running with a top priority of amending our county charter's "encourage intergovernmental cooperation" section to add "except ICE"? Yes, please!

I need ideas. Some of these will ripen but most are far too green (and incredibly sour). Current plans are: - pickles (I don't have a big canning pot anymore, so just fridge pickles) - dehydrate and make green tomato powder (these are small and not great for frying)

How the hell is “under 80 and never done Nazi stuff” such an impossible bar for politicians to clear?!

Those of you who know me from #3dPrinting know that I love honeycomb storage wall. Well, here's a new design that addresses one of its biggest shortcomings … inserts that actually stay in place so you can hold heavy items. Links to #Onshape CAD so you can add keyholes to your own designs, too.

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

Over 50 people at my small town's No Kings protest today, which is an order of magnitude more than the usual weekly ones. At least half the cars driving by honked or waved, which seems like a good sign. My parents have been doing this kind of thing since the 60s … even got their dog into the spirit.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I'm sharing this because @minuteearth.bsky.social is awesome (they also made my favorite coffee mug) and I want to encourage them to keep adding alt text to their images. Give it a watch and #DFTBA (though maybe avoid certain mushrooms during working hours).

I ordered 3 colors of glow/luminous @polymaker.bsky.social filament during the recent sale so I could print some fun give-aways for Halloween … only just now remembering that I only have 2 hardened 0.6 nozzles for my XL. 🤦‍♂️

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ DAY “We envision a society that embraces indigenous values of reciprocity and respect with all beings. Our actions are grounded in ceremony, justice, and love in support of regererative communities…” ~ NativeMovement.org DEFEND THE SACRED - PROTECT THE ARCTIC REFUGE :-)}

I'm a bit sad that I'm no longer in Seattle to vote against this guy. Then again, I'm glad I'm no longer in Seattle where I feared calling in a noise complaint might result in SPD shooting my neighbors.

Had a 7:30 meeting today. My boss thanked me for showing up (she knows I'm a night owl), especially on a holiday. Reminded me that I have unlimited PTO and should probably take the rest of the day off.

When did MAHA get to be so bad that even the fucking Babylon Bee can make an actually-funny article about their take on autism? (and no, I will not link to that POS hate-filled "satire" website, but it's easy enough to find)

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand: - bacon - Alien - (I don't bother to remember the name of songs I don't like) That "only" makes this both difficult and vague.

Hey @erininthemorning.com it appears that the non-www version if you site is misconfigured and doesn't forward to www. Worse, it presents an SSL cert that expired over 3 years ago so users jus get a big security warning: erininthemorning.com (in chrome, type "thisisunsafe" to see the Wix host page)

😮 Seriously, WTF. Did the prize committee not know that she was on the record praising war crimes? Quote from www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
