Listen mate, the fact that you're even reading instructions at all instead of chucking the technical stuff aside, or trying to force some unlucky family member to be tech support, puts you miles above most of the people I've dealt with.

I had one guy demand I physically come down to his desk for an issue that was "blocking an important report". It was literally just Windows asking if he wanted to overwrite an old file.

Hell if I know. I've heard the term "Sigma Grindset" before, but it can't be tied to what I'm thinking of.
You'd have to be the worst workaholic ever to be applying Six Sigma/Agile stuff to your personal life.

Bad drive and a subsequent corrupted NFS config. Or just a bad network cable.

EDIT: wait, no. Says Dependency failed for /boot and Dependency failed for Local File System at the top. The NFS stuff isn't corrupted. It's straight up gone.

For those who want to see what happens if you actually do this...

This means you could probably call the Slate the retro pug of trucks.

Amazing idea, but if the wiring in that second picture is anywhere near commonplace, you're going to want to put a bit more budget into power grid maintenance. That rats nest of cabling is bad enough from a low voltage IT perspective, I can only how terrifying that would be for HV engineers.

Don't sugarcoat it. It is the dictionary definition of heresy.

Branched way more than expected, and had to be brought home, repotted, and placed outside.
Had to use some neem oil as well, a lot of bugs immediately started trying to use it as baby food.

Oh please, the crazy train is fine.

Now if you hear music played on bones, then you know you're screwed.

It's an assisting tool, not the primary cleaning method. Blasts off bulk material and loosens up whatever's left, but you still need TP to finish the job. A lot less, but you still need some.
As for lint, that happens regardless of the use of a bidet. Nothing changes there.

It is quite literally against the very core of United States Law.

 

I feel this sometimes, both physically and mentally.

When I asked this community two weeks ago if I should prune or pinch my avocado tree, I was expecting maybe one or two of the meristem bits to start growing. Instead I got five.

I have a feeling this plant is going to outgrow the ring light I have above it before the year is over.

 

As nicely as this avocado tree is growing, it does need to be prompted to start branching out at some point.
If I prune off those top baby leaves and leave the two nodes intact, will it start branching from both, or only one?

Current height is around 14 inches tall.

 

Teasing aside, this works surprisingly well. The default settings for dehydrate is 150°F, which is well under the glass transition temperature for PETG.

Would not recommend for ABS/ASA. I have no idea what temperature that plastic starts putting out its toxic fumes at, and I don't want to find out.

 

I don't need anything too fancy, I just want to be able to watch the camera, and stop a print if it goes wrong.
Networking is all set on my end too. Got an OpenVPN tunnelback to my house for other stuff.

 
 
 

The top half are Black Hungarians, and the bottom are jalapeños. I actually ended up with more than I have pots for. I'll see if anyone in the office wants some of them.
