Update from previous post https://lemmy.world/post/31284240

The scrungly baby we scooped up filled out nicely, but kept going. We've found her a forever home, but it looks like that'll be on hold for a while.

Unrelated, but if anyone wants some kittens, I know a guy.

Edit: she has a whole bedroom to herself and we've set up several nesting boxes with towels but she doesn't seem interested. Any suggestions so I can avoid having her pop under my bed?

Abandoned printing a few years ago, getting back into it. I have several rolls of PLA and one ABS. The PLA rolls are brittle due to being stored in the open for years. I ran them through a dryer at 50c for 12 hours with no improvement. I've seen suggestions online for 55c so I'm trying that right now, but I imagine they're fucked.

Will more heat help or am I wasting my time?

Edit: another 10 hours at 55 did nothing, I'm abandoning the spool and trying the ABS at 65 for a full day. It wasn't brittle to start so I'll have to test print to know if it worked, but I'll post an update here for posterity.

Edit: ABS 65c for 24 hours. Clogged immediately. Didn't have a needle handy, so I took a Sim card removal tool and a lighter, heated it up for about 30 seconds and stuck it in the top of the hot end and let it cool, then yanked it out. Weird thing was there was still some pla left in the hot end, so it clogged early and pushed out nothing.

Context

Guess I hit a little too close to home?

Buying packs at a store. Forgot which fetch lands were in MH1 and Googled it. First error is free: there aren't any fetches in MH1.

You can just lure them inside with wet food!

We saw this absolutely SCRUNGLY little thing with a paw on our back door, but she bolted when she saw us. I lured her out of hiding with some wet food and a bowl, giving her small amounts at a time and gradually moving it closer to our back porch. She was entirely too young and hungry to be outside (she ate 2 whole cans of wet food at once. Even our fattest of cats are satisfied with one), so we made a plan to trap her. The trap turned out to not be necessary as she got bold after a week and let me sit with her and even pet her a bit! She did get startled and slash me up a little bit (rabies shots are ASS) but she is a sweetheart. Since she kept coming to the door we decided to quarantine our other cats and open it and lure her in with food. It eventually worked and we have her quarantined in the bathroom for now. Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough, but we found her a forever home with someone who will spoil her rotten.

This is roughly the harvest every other day. Already have a gallon freezer bag full. No complaints here.

Carrots and peppers were kind of a wash last year so we just let the strawberries run rampant. They're happy as hell and the fruits are have gotten bigger as the plants matured. The left side was clear enough to put beans where the tomato plants used to be. I was planning on skipping tomatoes as well because they got absurdly large and bent their cages, but some of the fallen ones must have seeded because we had 3 little tomato plants shooting up. They're in separate pots now and hopefully that'll be more manageable.

My Feldon deck isn't my best, but it's by far my favorite to play. Every time I do, I discover new fiddly interactions I hadn't even considered before. It's capable of getting out of the craziest situations with enough mana and shenanigans.

I recently threw in karn the great creator to test it out. Ended up wishing up rings of brighthearth from my binder, but it played so well in putting it in the main (not sure why I didn't earlier, honestly). My dilemma is I don't have many other artifacts outside the deck that I would really want.

Main question/TL;DR: what are some situationally good artifacts that could go in a mono red artifact/graveyard deck.

Decklist if you're interested. Not up to date but close enough.

Heading to Bonemass. Realized we were surrounded by plains but noticed a small break in the land. Thought it might be a gap between two separate islands. I was wrong. By that point I had no choice but to rip through it at full sail and pray. I did not die for my mistake, and it was difficult to impress upon my friend just how lucky we were to not have been murdered.

I knew of thin mints. THICC mints caught me by surprise.

Dipped my toes into Linux maybe 10 years ago. It was awful and turned me off of it. Also the fact that I occasionally have to deal with some bespoke bullshit distro at work that does nothing that literally any tutorial I google says it will.

But I finally gave it another shot. Girlfriend got a smart TV. I got sick of ads. I had an old Intel nuc laying around that I bought for a dedicated DDR machine but it didn't go great, so I stuck dietpi and pihole on it. Was still a mild clusterfuck and had dozens of open tabs trying to figure out what was breaking, but by 5am I had pihole configured and running, a plex server set up, and a desktop. Today I got the ftp server up so I can move stuff into plex without messing with flash drives. Still haven't figured out desktop through ssh but that's a later problem.

Bad news is youtube ads come from the same domain as the videos so pihole is useless there, but I'm still having fun and very excited about what I can do with a cheap piece of hardware I thought was useless. For the next project I'm thinking maybe trying to de-google my Google home minis and have a locally hosted assistant, but that would probably take a ton of research beforehand.

Suggestions, encouragement, and harassment welcome.
