Coincidentally, 2019 is when they got a new CEO, laid off almost all the corporate personnel and moved from Denver to Newport Beach. Weird that decapitating the company would have an effect on it...

Did she do terribly during the debate? I remember watching and thinking she seemed smart and articulate, but didn't have the name recognition and backing to get very far in the primaries.

I've asked people to join threesomes before, and I ask hot and cool people with style.

I first read that as you stylishly asking people to have a 3-way.

I'm up for combining them, but only if it's in some sort of weird human-centipede situation.

I disagree that polls are garbage. If that were the case, Biden would still be running for president. With that being said, ignore the polls and make sure you vote.

It's true, many people are saying it.

Wait.. so the Republican ticket is James Donald and Donald John? Those fucking nerds.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

Man I hope so. I remember thinking the Republican party was dead and would have to move towards the center back in 2008 when Obama was elected and had a super majority in the Senate. But rather than pivot, the GOP dug their heels in, obstructed as much as possible, and went even further to the right.

People here are weird, man. Huffpost is known to be one of the most heavily ad cluttered mess of a website in existence. There was an auto-playing video at the top, that paused itself after a few seconds for an auto-playing ad. Then I had to scroll past 4 other ads and a tweet that was not the tweet in question. I eventually got to the actual tweet after more scrolling.

And again, it's a tweet in the article. From Twitter.

But people are acting like since I posted directly to the tweet to save them all that, that I am somehow doing them a disservice while personally blowing Elon Musk and cupping his balls. The Fediverse is a weird place sometimes.

13."The working class being gaslit by the 1% to blame the rest of the working class for all of their problems. The amount of people I see thinking their tax dollars are paying for student loan forgiveness, social security, WIC, Medicaid, or welfare is just so ridiculous. You can literally look up exactly where your tax dollars are going. It's not 'fake news;' it's readily available.

This one drives so many of the other problems. I constantly hear (mostly from my conservative neighbors) about how we shouldn't be spending so much of our tax dollars on various programs. One of my neighbors was recently complaining about paying for school bus drivers.

Here's a chart showing where your taxes go.

This isn't really that surprising. Over 20 years ago I took a course where the professor explained how anyone with a decent understanding of chemistry could turn $300 of raw ingredients into $1 million worth of LSD.

The problem has always been distribution, which is what makes Breaking Bad such a good show. For the average person, having a shit load of illegal drugs with a $3 million value on the street is not the same thing as having $3 million cash.

Dry your filament! (sh.itjust.works)

I love in Colorado, which is a pretty dry state, so while I had heard of "wet filament", I never considered it to be a problem that I would have to worry about. I had seen people creating dry storage bins for their filament, but figured that must just be for people in humid climates.

When I first bought my 3D printer a few years ago, I did what most people probably do - I bought a 10 pack of different filament colors. Everything printed great for a while, but eventually, my prints just started to kind of suck. I made a few upgrades to my printer, but still couldn't pinpoint what was going on. What was frustrating, is that some times my prints would be great - but other times I couldn't even print the most simple prints without problems.

I eventually noticed that my great prints were from newer filament that I had recently purchased, but my bad prints were coming from spools I've had sitting out for a while. So I purchased a $40 filament dryer on Amazon and it instantly fixed all the problems I'd been having.

I feel dumb, because I had gone through three different extruders, new hot ends, new nozzles, tubing, and spent tons of time cleaning and tightening stuff on my printer. I had left my printer untouched for months because it was just so frustrating. Something as simple as old filament left out never occurred to me until much later.

TLDR; If your prints have started to suck after a while, you might want to try drying your filament.
