I also have had trouble during upgrades in the past.

I'll have to disagree about the purple and orange theme though. I'm personally a big fan.

In the Beginning is an anime that follows the Christian old testament up through the birth of Jesus.

There's also Superbook about 2 kids and a robot who time travel to bible times get involved in the biblical events.

Solok woke up the day he went to DS9 and chose all the violence that logic would allow.

There is a quote from Winston Churchill that says "if you are going through hell, keep going." as in, the only way out of a bad situation is to move forward.

My grandpa always used to say that "you can't jump in puddles unless it's a rainy day" as a way to say a bad situation comes with its own opportunities or upsides (as in bad weather sucks but at least you can have fun jumping in the puddles).

Hope everything works out for you all. I always appreciate a card from someone no matter the situation.

Analogue is doing the lord's work. Software is easy to copy infinite times but hardware isn't prevalent or going to last forever.

I hope someday things like this will end up at a more commodity price

Might as well just watch part 2. The story is that the first was pulled from theaters due to a whiny "moms against fun" type of group and they wanted to re-release it. They shot an intro and interstitials and re-edited the original but had enough new content that they just called it part 2.

So essentially part 2 is almost the entirety of part 1 plus eyebrow acting, garbage day, and stunts.

I will just put in my 2¢. I maintain 3d printers for a local library and while the 4 mk3s+ machines have been solid the Mini+ has been nothing but trouble.

First we had issues with the extruder, then the Bowden tube kept causing jams. Replaced that but still have a ton of stringing with the default Prusaslicer profiles with every kind of filament we have tried.

And honestly having messed with both, the additional space needed for a "full size" printer is marginal once you factor in the spool holder.

Prusaslicer is amazing. The MK3 is/was great. I don't know how much I love Bambu lab but the Prusa Mini was not great.

Jackie Daytona and Jim the Vampire would agree.

I think the rule is if you look over 40 they won't card you since obviously you're over 18 and 21 at that point.

So if you can't guarantee someone looks over 40 (gray hair wrinkly etc) you are obligated to check ID.

Same chips as last year but with ~~MMX Extensions~~ AI accelerators built in. Neat

All I see around is old Cisco enterprise stuff and 1000 would be a low price for that. Not to mention the potential for quite loud fan noise.

Unifi has one with 10 gig uplinks for the same price as used Cisco stuff and it has poe also. Still 1600 bucks though.

It’s my understanding that I had over 80 million streams on Spotify this year,” Yankovic said in his video. “So, if I’m doing the math right that means I earned $12. Enough to get myself a nice sandwich at a restaurant.”

I contributed about 45 of those listens last year. I feel like I should have at least been offered a bite of the sandwich.
