The Truman Show
  • I was saying the parts that started with “say” which I realize now may not have been too obvious

  • The Truman Show
  • one thing for Jim Carey.

    he's entertaining.

  • Dyk, Bobby?
  • Unfortunately I’ve been having an issue with losing grass and dealing with erosion.

  • Dyk, Bobby?
  • Tricky balance when you need to manage mold/fungal growth and too much cover killing grass. But yeah, we are “wasting” a lot of nutrients by trashing leaves like we do.

  • Is your 3D printer insulated? How is the print chamber heated?
  • What is probably the most critical are stable temperatures.

    Rapid changes can wreak havoc on ABS for example.

  • Experience with Orbiter 2.0 extruder
  • What about the filament feed path? I have a 1.5 and the only thing about it is that I have to hand feed filament changed because of the space in the path between the gear and the bottom going towards the hotend

  • The Key
  • I’m very confused

  • Why do people say "quote unquote something" and not "quote something unquote" ?
  • Indeed. With very slowly pronounced “bunny ear finger quotes” as you say it to emphasize the sarcasm.

  • Why do people say "quote unquote something" and not "quote something unquote" ?
  • I’ve heard it said both ways.

    For example.

    When the statement you’re quoting is going to be quote, short or simple, unquote.

    Or, if it’s going to stand on its own and be quote, unquote, some long citation that would make famous Russian authors jealous.

  • I want a name for this
  • I did find this paper where somebody used the term “mindless reading”

    Smallwood, J. (2011). Mind‐wandering while reading: attentional decoupling, mindless reading and the cascade model of inattention. Language and Linguistics Compass, 5(2), 63–77. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1749-818x.2010.00263.x

    Seems that is the term used for it such as this talk in 2006

    https://ies.ed.gov/director/conferences/06ies_conference/posters/readingtq_reichle.asp

    Abstract: "Mindless reading" occurs when, during reading, our eyes continue to move across the printed page in spite of the fact that we are busy thinking about things that are often completely unrelated to the text.

  • I want a name for this
  • I use the term Autopilot

  • Thermometers reading different temperatures on cold printer?
  • If they’re on board that could be their idle ambient temps.

    The currents running through them, resistors, etc all generate some heat.

    I tend to look at board temps less about the environment and more about how the board is doing.

    Is it suddenly running very hot, etc.

    As for the extruder it is attached to a thermal mass. So it may take longer to adjust but you did say it’s been sitting there for a bit.

  • Marketing Consultant: No, King Condiment, you can’t put red in red on an ad. They won’t see it. They’ll wonder why you’re selling a gun to shoot at food.

    The King: But it’s great advertising!

    Marketing Consultant: No, that’s not a great marketing ad.

    The King: But they can still use red for ketchup right?

    Marketing Consultant: Of course. And your instructions can tell them which is for which.

    The King: It’s so confusing!

    Marketing Consultant: It is. And if you had hired us before manufacturing millions of these we could have told you about using another base color with red and yellow grips and triggers. But you didn’t and so here we are.

  • At least it was unique
  • You’re right.

    The trays had a groove for a CD. So placing it in the groove it would work because its edges would always fall into that groove correctly all the way around the tray.

    This, however, wouldn’t work on a slot loaded drive since they worked by having a set of arms with rollers that grab the edge of inserted disc and another arm with a roller that pushed it the rest of the way in from the opposite edge when it’s inserted enough.

    You can see how this worked here on a DVD drive that uses the same setup. https://youtu.be/qi3v7X6BpAA

    So there’s only ever 3 slim points of contact which is fine as long as it’s a circle. Yet the irregular shape here would cause it to get partially in and then pushed by the arms into the edge/internals of the drive.

  • August 29, 1997, came and went. Nothing much happened. Michael Jackson turned 40. There was no Judgment Day. People went to work as they always do. Laughed, complained, watched TV, made love. I wanted to run to through the street yelling to grab them all and say, "Every day from this day on is a gift. Use it well". Instead, I got drunk.

    Mlem scroll issue in 1.3.5

    I just updated yesterday to the 1.3.5 release.

    Unfortunately now when I use my thumb to quickly scroll posts and comments it doesn’t respond.

    But if I stop, and move very slowly it does register the scroll. After it finally does scroll then for about 10 seconds or so it behaves normally.

    This doesn’t happen, however, in the top half of the screen. Just the bottom half.

    Thank you again for all the hard work you do on the app.

    User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer

    www.eff.org User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer

    A growing number of people are experimenting with federated alternatives to social media like Mastodon, either by joining an “instance” hosted by someone else or creating their own instance by running the free, open-source software on a server they control. (See more about this movement and joining....

    I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as

    Copyright/DMCA Safe Harbor CSAM Law enforcement/warrants/info inquiries

    And not included (since it’s focus is on US legal issues) but I’m curious about would be other regulations such as EU user data retention
