I tend to open TinkerCAD to make simple things quickly. It’s web based so works on Mac/PC and free.

We get the giant pork shoulders from Costco and cut them in to meal sized chunks and vacuum seal them along with lots of other stuff. I cut cardboard boxes to fit inside the chest freezer to partition meat and frozen fruits separately. Makes it easier to pull the box out and get what you need as well otherwise sometimes things can settle as one giant frozen block. Best deal on vacuum bags I’ve found is Amazon but be sure to read reviews. We got a box of them before that were so thick that the machine had a hard time sealing it.

I’ve been running a FlashForge Creator Pro for over 5 years now and have been super pleased with it. I haven’t had to replace anything aside from some TPU hoses to feed the filament in all this time, but the parts at least at the time were easy to obtain since the platform was shared by multiple manufacturers like qidi. I’ve done dual color prints maybe twice ever on it. I felt it wasted too much filament on the ooze wall and still has streaks, so instead I design my models to be different colored separate parts and either snap or glue together for a cleaner end product. I think the only real limitation it’s had is the small bed size. I’ve had to do a lot of multi part builds to make anything large.

It doesn’t start with a P, but that sounds a lot like luncheon loaf. I buy the Unmeat brand by the case and use it that way. Sliced or cubed and fried with anything.

Green Inferno. I’m a huge horror fan and am not bothered by gore, but man that cannibalism was so graphic I can’t shake the images.

What kind of filament are you using? I’ve had that trouble with ABS before and what worked for me was making a slurry of acetone and some scrap filament and painting it on the glass then adding a brim to the model in the slicer. With other filaments, it’s always been playing with the temps and using a brim in my experience.

Big Tymers-Still Fly. It gets to a part where it goes “2 15’s didn’t see no wires, then I heard BOOM from the amplifier.” If the house/car doesn’t shake then it’s not enough bass.

Not sure of the exact science of it, but cheap aftermarket batteries seem to do it way faster than original equipment so there seems to be a connection to the quality. I’ve seen pillowfication rip open more than a few laptops and phones causing huge damage. I suppose the alternative is explosive fire though.

I started Black Summer because they were short and I was bored, but soon became hooked and binged all of them. Excellent stories in a crowded genre.

I randomly came across Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on Hulu and it quickly became one of my all time favorites. Super interesting characters.

I loved Hudson Hawk. The story was bonkers, the musical numbers were entertaining and had a great ending.

I tried the wire method on one before and it worked well, but took FOREVER to get through. It felt riskier than the spudger method to me, so I never did it again.
