I have a Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military (discontinued), and it came with the highest quality bracelet I've ever worn. Barely any play, with a deep clunk instead of a thin rattle. I rank it comfortably above anything I know including a Speedmaster Pro.

The watch itself is of very high quality and finish too.

Il not even sure it's possible. It might work for ballpark, "decent enough" settings but would that even be better than factory settings?

I have 2 PETG colors from the same brand that behave widely differently. I've seen batches of the exact same brand, material and color needing different temperature and retraction settings.

Each printer seems unique and seems to need slightly different settings than the next. Mechanical components wear out and drift out of tune. Thermocouples and hall sensors can drift. When rebuilding or upgrading your hotend, chances are you'll need to recalibrate everything. Belts need regular retensioning and that might affect motion settings.

Oh man WipEout 2097 was such a musical revelation and the soundtrack of my teenage years! I still love to this day The Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers or Orbital

Heretic here. I just do 10 + 7 - 1.

We thought like this in the late 90'/early 00's when the FN won a couple of cities in southern France. Their failures, nepotism, mismanagement, amateurism, stupidity and blatant authoritarianism got widely reported at first. Some media kept tabs for much longer but it faded out off mainstream media pretty quickly, except for the occasional scandal.

Worse, it legitimizes them and give them a platform under a veneer of electoral legitimacy.

Don't let the far right win anything. You won't "show everyone they're unfit for power" because people don't care. They just become familiar faces.

Dunno where you are but the carbon steel pans from De Buyer are very high quality and awesome, for a reasonable price in Europe.

Super interested in the graphite bed, could you share some links ? I would love to avoid heat soaking mine for half an hour before each print ;)

Think of the OS as a sum of hundreds of components. You have a kernel, a boot manager, a boot and service manager system, a shell, some command line utils, drivers, a display server, a graphical interface, a sound server etc.

On a classical OS, all these components are distributed individually as packages. Which means that there is a risk of failure at any update: discrepancies on dependencies or compiler versions, failed updates, power outages etc.

"Immutable", also called "atomic" or "transactional" OSs, distribute the whole stack as a single image. If it reminds you of Docker, that's because it's exactly the same thing. An update can't fail. It's either fully applied or not at all. And that's because it's not an update at all, it's a complete system image deployed alongside the one currently in use. If it doesn't work, you can simply "downgrade" by selecting the previous image.

Yes. It's awesome.

Bazzite on my gaming rig: no time lost on applying updates and doing mantenance, only games.

Bluefin on my dad's laptop. He's super happy with it, and it looks enough like MacOS to satisfy his tastes. He's been using it for about a year and he hasn't broken it yet. And he's able to break every single piece of software he looks at.

FYI my main laptop runs Fedora, which is already low maintenance enough.

French is even weirder with "sentir".

For feelings, french usually uses a reflexive form: "je me sens triste" (I feel sad). That's the easy part.

Now the real fun is that you can say stuff like "je sens tes pieds", and it could mean "I can feel (touch) your feet" or "I can smell your feet", or even both at the same time.
