Hurricane Irene and Schoharie County, NY. It's happened before, and it's gonna happen again.

“I would expect that a goodly number of states will say whoever the Democratic candidate is, you’re off the ballot, and others, for the Republican candidate, you’re off the ballot. It will come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election. That’s a pretty daunting consequence,” the chief justice, John Roberts, said during oral argument. (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/04/trump-scotus-colorado-ruling)

Damn inconsistent of them, being concerned about consequences after the current court's previous rulings.

Picked up an Ender 3 off eBay after Christmas in an "brand new open box" state. Should be covered under warranty, and I shelled out an extra $6 for the Allstate Protection Plan, so I should have coverage even if the reseller drops off.

During unboxing, almost everything was neatly in its place. I noticed two oddities, however: the anti-static bag for the display panel was unsealed, open at one end; a piece of paper inside the box declared that the previous owner returned it as they had ordered it by mistake.

After assembly, I powered it on, but the display panel won't show anything but a blue screen. Reached out to the eBay store, who shipped out a replacement panel noting my observations above. Replaced the panel today, and there's no change in symptoms.

After powering it on, the extruder's fan spins, as does the power supply fan. The motherboard's fan does not. Display panel goes blue, without text. Pressing the button results in a beep on each press. I pulled the cover off the motherboard, and noted activity on two LEDs. After powering on, one near the fuse (labeled D3) lights up solid blue. The other, near the CPU (labeled O5), blinks twice quickly, then a long pause, followed by three more blinks. No idea if that's meant as a diagnostic code.

Nothing seems out of place when performing a visual inspection of the motherboard. Each connection is glued down, no scorch or blown components. I've tried updating the firmware, to no effect.

Board version: 4.2.2 CPU: GD32F303 RET6 Sticker on the MicroSD slot: H8

Waiting on the reseller to get back to me with their next steps, but I'm not expecting anything until the work week starts up. Any thoughts as to additional steps I might take while I'm waiting?

Update: reseller is shipping out a new motherboard to me.

Final update: new motherboard resolved the issue. I'm printing!

May Hamas, the Israeli gov't, and the IDF spend an eternity in Hell for the crimes they've committed against humanity and innocent civilians.

If the mods/admins want to ban me for saying that, feel free. I don't want to be part to any group that supports and advocates for murders and war crimes.

Not to mention the mob of henchmen. I just slogged through a small country's worth of peons meant to serve as a thousand papercuts, whittling my health and resources down... Then this boss comes walking in popping healing kits/potions/whatever like candy.

C'mon, I've only got so much ammo...

“Human animals must be treated as such. There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.”

How far the Israeli government has come, from being the oppressed to the oppressor, from the murdered to the murderer.

[-] theluckyone@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

Two groups of murderers: Hamas on one side, the IDF and the Israeli government on the other. The civilians (Palestinian and Israeli) are caught between them and suffer the most.

Each group cries about the horrors inflicted upon the citizens, while using them as excuses to continue commiting atrocities. I find it hard to be sympathetic to anyone but the poor folk caught in between.

Cook's lack of respect for people and his total disregard of the consequences of his actions is what caused this situation, not paranoia and heavy armament.

[-] theluckyone@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

Yes, yes it can. In this situation, we have one normal guy just trying to live his life in peace. We have one nutjob harassing him for the lulz and giggles from like minded nutjobs. Finally, there's a second nutjob defending his behavior right here on this very forum.

Calling yourself a Nazi is fairly effective at getting you ignored, however.

If your day consists of pranking unsuspecting people, knowingly causing anger and anxiety, then you belong in a psychiatric ward away from people because that mentality gets people killed.

Force 5 Dinghy Rhab (lemmy.world)

Picked up a Force 5 dinghy plus trailer years ago, for the low low price of $100. Prior owner had let water sit in the mast tube, cracking it vertically. Trailer bunks were set up improperly as well, leading to some gnarly cracks in the hull. Without having any sailing experience, I was besotted with her (I can't resist a good project), until I learned the sail slipped over the mast and wasn't raised via halyard. I set her aside for a few years while I worked on other boat projects that fell into my lap (O'Day 19 & Westerly Centaur).

I'm based on a river with height restrictions in both directions, preventing me from actually sailing with the O'Day and the Westerly. The dinghy can make it under with feet to spare. I'd like to get some actual sailing in,, so I've set myself a goal to finish the rehab and get her on the water before the end of the season.

Mast tube has been repaired. Ground out and beveled the cracks in the hull, then fiberglassed several layers over. I hate mixing gelcoat, so I'll be painting instead. PVC replacements for the thwart bits are sitting in the pile, ready to go.

Trailer needs some work as well: bunkers need to be secured better, tires and bearings need inspection.
