Thank you! Both of those things help, but in this case it was about orientation; the face would usually print so that the last layers would be flat across the face, but that always gives a staircase layer thing that bothers me, so I printed it at an angle so the last layers are on the top instead โ˜บ๏ธ

I can attempt to answer technical questions if youโ€™d like! But if theyโ€™re about the hat, itโ€™s not printed, itโ€™s knit, so thatโ€™s why it looks like that ๐Ÿ˜‚

I went in to empty the filament poop box only to find that it wasnโ€™t CATCHING any filament poop because an unrepentant criminal had decided to nudge it out of the way and make it her new hang out spot ๐Ÿคจ

Yes a direct line from 00s era Pickup Artist Culture to the conservative manosphere today, including through a curious integration with the formerly heavily-female-coded Wellness subculture bsky.app/profile/dirt...

RFK Jr.'s claim that COVID vaccines are deadly? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. In this new extraordinarily large study, vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and a 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to those unvaccinated. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I think this guy is a bonehead as much as the next but yโ€™allโ€ฆthere are whole groups of people who canโ€™t access movie theaters, largely for disability and poverty reasons. I donโ€™t think itโ€™s bean souping anything to be like โ€œhey why tf are we getting thrown under the bus AGAINโ€

Another reason autistic kids are great: they are *genuinely* excited to receive (good) socks. The kind we usually get were discontinued (Hanes, meet me outside) and I found what looked like a decent replacement, and when I came upstairs today they both gave me a VERY thorough positive review ๐Ÿ˜‚

You should be able to get rich being silly online instead of being evil online, that would solve a lot of problems

I do not understand the journalistic value of inviting him on any show. He continues to repeat easily disproved lies. You can verify the price of turkey, in the US and worldwide, in seconds.

Yeah, there was a brief period during covid where I got to participate in the excitement of new releases and it was nice not to be completely spoiled for new movies & to be a part of the discussion when they dropped.

Which doesn't mean I'm pro-streamer. Just, you know. Nuance exists.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money
