We live in the only universe where there is a White Castles.

Why you bashing my homies on the Cerritos! Rutherford is doing his darn best to ensure they are working as best they can.

"You must never feel badly about making mistakes … as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons."

This is actually a old episode of The Twilight Zone. It was called "To Serve Man". Aliens come, share their knowledge and technology. Prove themselves to be a close friend to humanity. Humans discover their alien book that is indecipherable with the exception of the title "To Serve Man". This makes sense as they are so very helpful!

Aliens ask humans to come visit their planet of infinite miracles. Humans go and get reports back talking of endless wonders. No one ever returns, but that is expected, why would you want to come back to earth after seeing heaven?

The book is finally fully translated. It is a cookbook of how to cook humans.


The Simpsons also made an episode of this theme for the Treehouse of Terror S02E03 "Hungry are the Damned". The Simpson family are kidnapped by the usual space alien duo Kang and Kodos with promises of glorious meals and a life of luxury on their planet.

Lisa finds a very dusty alien cookbook and after a reading the title (How to Cook Humans), assumes the aliens are only fattening them up to eat them. After some Simpson style hijinks the full title is revealed...

Clearing some dust off the cover... "How to Cook for Humans"

Blowing more dust off the cover... "How to Cook Forty Humans"

After one last cleaning... "How to Cook for Forty Humans"

The aliens take offense, their cook Serak the Preparer cries, and they ultimately kick the humans off their ship after a good scolding.

There is no data suggesting that the Titanic (known for its first class service) did not issue formal hats to it's live lobsters. It is however known that the Titanic did not source it's lobster from Mexico (the bandito style hats seen in the gif) and probably had a mix of European and American lobster aboard.

As it was a first class service it can be expected that the lobsters were issues top hats to along with their tails.

Unfortunately....

While some lobsters can live down to 700 meters (2300 feet). The Titanic lies 3800 meters (12500 feet) underwater.

There would also be a problem with the cold of the region of water. The temps at the depth of the Titanic are too cold for them to survive.

Lobsters on the Titanic probably had their claws bound. As you can usually see this in markets stores where modern live lobsters have their claws wrapped with rubber bands. So even if they were to survive the crushing depths, and bitter cold, they would have starved or become food for other predators. This sadly would have precluded them from shooting off revolvers while they danced.

I had a 1998 Jeep Wrangler. I'm 6 ft 6 in and and 255 lb. I fit in that pretty well. The box style cabin was very open and easy to get in and out of. Maybe it's different with the newer ones. I haven't tried one yet

But they are still there, in that wall. I'm not worried about a Tell-Tale Heart scenario, It's all about hating that wall every time you walk by.

Beam then into the warp reactor. Instant ionization. Problem solved.

It plays perfectly.

Loved the movie as a kid. Had the LP, would listen to that record all the time and be able to see on my minds eye the movie as the vinyl spun round and round. Lost it as time progressed and I got older. My family recently started collecting records again and while in the record store my wife calls out to me and hold up a copy of The Black Hole. Gatefold with the story pages intact. It was an immediate buy. Got home and put that thing on right away and it is PERFECT. What a fantastic movie and being able to share it (had to skip Perkins's final encounter with Maximilian as my daughter was too young) and having to explain the last scenes with my family is greatness.

All were obviously 3D printed. Layer lines were very clean. Even saw a kid walking around with one in hand hugging his parents to buy it for him.

 

Printing a BD-1 droid from Star Wars; Fallen Order/Survivor at 300% (Printables). Noticed that the filament was running really low and needed to be choosey about what part I printed next. I feel I choose wisely.

 

It's not wrong.

 

Woke up early today and the first thought through my head was ... Hey, the Pixel 9 Fold Pro is going to be available today. So I jumped on the site and found it... backordered until mid October.

Anyone else able to get one on T-Mo or another service or are they backordered from Google themselves?

A coven (according to Google, that is the correct grouping for wizards) of 15 Harry Potter figurines ready for my daughter's 7th birthday party to be colored in by her & her friends using some paint pens.

 

So my daughter is loving her new Ender 2 Pro and printing out Harry Potter figurines to paint. We have been using acrylic paint pens (easier at this age), they have been good, not great. We are having a Harry Potter themed b-day party for her and her friends. I am going to print out a batch of Harry, Ron, and Hermione characters for them all to paint after the play time limit at the trampoline park ends.

was wondering... What kid friendly paint works best for PLA?

 

I am pleased to follow up to this post with an update that the Tie-Fighters now all have engines and am halfway done with the solar collectors frames.

 

... for my daughter and the neighbor kids. All scaled to 200%.

Going to throw on some fun colors for the canopies and solar collectors.

Good day! I am running a Klipperized Sovol SV06+ and have been getting some really great prints. I am however having an issue where lately I am having to adjust the Z offset with each new print. I did a first layer calibration and got a perfect result but after a couple prints I saw I needed to lower it to get a good first layer. Again I printed a few and then again I needed to lower it. This has happened a few times.

Yesterday I was printing a pretty large print and midway through the extruder shifted (the print remained secure to the bed) and continued printing. After I canceled the print I had to lower the Z offset much further than I thought was possible. I am concerned that the bed keeps "lowering".

I have a very good bed mesh loaded (used the silicone bed leveling mid I have seen discussed). I am just unsure why this is needing to be adjusted and why the last print went wonky (related?)

Thanks much!
