Wow. Can you imagine what would happen if an American car company's fully automated driving were responsible for the death of three teenagers in a fiery crash in Nevada?

I can only assume there'd be a full recall, the CEO would go on TV to apologize and resign.

But not everyone can be a beacon of freedom.

I did print myself a herome mount and everything awhile back. Added dual fans and whatnot, I was having a terrible time with petg surface quality, the dual fans helped a lot. I also had to reassemble my hotend to reprint something I messed up lol.

I'm at the point now where I've replaced so much on my ender that it doesn't really look like the machine I bought, except that it's still i3.

I'll check out the orbiter, thanks!

The lack of banding and wobble is excellent, especially compared to where you came from. You've got me thinking about a new extruder. I've got some no name aluminum extruder setup right now, but I've put enough abrasive filament through that it's made all my filament paths oblong.

Nice work!

It's like when you look at a piece of wood on your deck and you think: "do I need to replace that whole plank, or is it just fine?" So you stick a knife in to see how solid the wood is, does the knife immediately stop or does it plunge right through.

So we shall see just how rotten things are.

Good thing it's terrible and will eat the resources of any business foolish enough to attempt to actually replace workers with it.

Is Authoritarian Communism Really communism? in c/[email protected]

As an addendum to 4 - state level power is also required to protect aspiring communist societies (socialists) from antagonistic forces with state level resources. If your state is not strong enough, you will be undermined into destruction by external forces, colonial powers that will use this "failure" as both propaganda and a method of appropriating your resources to further colonial projects.

Also, as someone who lives in and was raised in the heart of empire, the amount of propaganda that we have ingested is unfathomable.

It is good practice when you find yourself asking about any topic that may be deemed antithetical to a settler colonial project to thoroughly examine the sources of the information you're basing your opinion on, and perhaps consider that while you may be a very intelligent and thoughtful individual, expertly crafted and ubiquitous propaganda can shape your opinion as well.

That seems like far too little rain to do much farming without totally draining local aquifers.

Rewild it with native flora, do yurts and whatever to attract people to live in a sustainable way with community gardening. Activities can initially revolve around returning the land to a more natural state. As things mature people will invest in the community themselves, creating their own activities etc.

This guy's a giant piece of shit. I can't believe he's even in government. You'd have to be a real asshole to give this guy a government job where he's actually running things and able to affect people's lives.

Why can humans seemingly only imagine like 3 different forms of government in different flavors? in c/[email protected]

Yeah... The spectrum of options arrayed before us appear to be heavily weighted towards enforcing arbitrary hierarchies which is... Not ideal.

My Best Ever Tolerance Test (midwest.social)
 

As the title says, this is the best tolerance test I've been able to produce since I first started printing a few years ago. There's stringing, but that would be solved if I dried it, yes I dry pla too. This print is the Sci3d Clearance Test as downloaded in January 2023, from 0.5mm to 0.15mm clearances.

Every spinner is loose and easily moves, I actually had a bit of trouble with the center spindle due to a bit of over extrusion on the top layers.

My machine is a modified ender 3 pro with Klipper. Currently have a 0.4mm hardened steel nozzle mounted with 0.2mm layer heights.

Sliced with the latest release prusaslicer, custom printer, filament, and print profiles.

The filament is one of my favorite PLAs, Voxel PLA, this one is red, but they all print the same for me.

Sorry for the boring post, but this was a huge achievement for me and basically everyone I know wouldn't understand the magnitude of this kind of repeatable precision on such a low cost machine.

Just wanted to share a little success, after some wrangling I've finally got an M600 macro working on Klipper. I've been trying to print some ornaments for my holiday tree (a Christmas tree that I'm never taking down). These turned out pretty great!

(Ignore the wago connectors, they're "temporary")

ETA:

I used all Voxel PLA and found the model on printables. Sliced with Prusaslicer and just added the color changes at the appropriate layers.

Updated Guidelines for Groundwater contaminants take effect in 5 Days (www.health.state.mn.us)
 

36 contaminants have been added or updated on the "Human Health Based Water Guidance Table"

It's a list of chemicals that could be in your water and the health effects that the state department of health has determined are possible based on different exposure levels.

The actual usage of these guidelines only appear to be for state legislation, but if you're a well water user or a concerned city water user, this data might be of interest to you.

17 are new, 19 have updated guidelines

Hello Minnesotans,

In about a month I'll be joining your ranks. I'm buying a house just outside of St Cloud. It's not my first pick in terms of politics from what I've read, but the state laws are far better for my family than where we live now.

Aside from the fact that we're moving in November, which is one of my more brilliant strokes, to be sure, I'm very excited for this change.

I'm looking for any and all of your Minnesota advice.

I've got a pretty big family, gaggle of kids (from 2nd grade to sophomore in high school), a few dogs, and ambitions on some waterfowl next year maybe.

I'm not afraid of driving in snow, I grew up in MO, we got our share of snow, so I know that often judicious throttle control is better than frantic braking. However, I've never dealt with snow on that scale that sticks for that long. I think we're going from an average annual snowfall of 12ish inches to 40-something annual inches of snow.

Will a self-propelled two stage snowblower kill me on a couple hundred feet of driveway?

Do I really need to scrape the snow off my roof?

How do I help the dogs with the cold? (Do dog boots and coats actually work?)

Got any recommendations for cold weather clothes? (I know we need layers, I'm already a fan of wool, but I need some advice on sourcing stuff that my kids will want to wear)

I love gardening, how much more time will a greenhouse give me in terms of growing season?

How the heck do I make Minnesota friends? I'm not a church person, so I expect this to be difficult for me.

DMV advice?

Best restaurants to visit?

Our family has spent the last year grieving and trying to process what has often felt like some kind of absurd unreality. I want to make this transition as positive as I can.

You don't get to pick where you're born, but you do (to some extent at least) get to pick where you live. We picked Minnesota because of the people, the land, and even the weather.

Sorry for being a stereotype, but I really don't know how else to ask aside from the non-stop googling and YouTube I'm already doing.

TL;DR:

Yet another "I'm moving to Minnesota, help me!" Post.

Edit: You all have given me some great ideas and places to start! Thank you so much!

I'm really excited to start this new chapter and you all have helped relieve some of my worries about being buried alive in snow at least :)
