I’ve always been sort of vaguely curious what car company CEOs drive, if/when they aren’t just being chauffeured around in the company limo. Like, what’s in their garage, and if left to their own devices, what would they drive around in to run get groceries or go out to eat or whatever.

Moreso the “regular” car brands than the luxury ones. Like I assume the head of Porsche drives a high end Cayenne or 911 (or both), so that’s less interesting.

But, like, does the CEO of Chevrolet drive a Chevrolet? Does he have a maxed out Suburban? Or does he step up to the Escalade, even if it’s from a different division? Or does he eschew GM entirely and go for the Rolls/Bentley, or a pasta rocket?

In this case, it looks like Ford’s CEO is driving the direct competition, which is interesting. Makes sense, I suppose, though it’s not at all the answer I expected.

No idea. Yamaha was doing pianos long before they were doing motorcycles, so it can’t be them. I can’t think of a company that started with motorcycles and then moved into pianos.

I do like my water to be well-cooked. Would you recommend this water cooker?

I’m sitting here composing the HTML for that website in my head. Damn I wish it were still that easy. Needs more <blink>.

Edit: a/s/l?

One of my favorites too!

Sed Porttitor isn’t even that good, I dunno why they need it on their menu a half a dozen times.

I have an orange pi zero 2 and run Obico’s octoprint image on it. Works great.

I read that as “water elephant” at first.

Something like the reset button on the Prusa MK4 screen maybe?

Not sure if this is really what you’re asking about, but there are some laser cutting/engraving add-ons you can get. Basically replaces the hot end with a laser. After I upgraded to a Prusa MK4, I’m thinking about getting one of those for my old E3v2 and turning it into a laser cutter.

It’s the same thing, but you go to the Wikipedia article for Æthelred I of Wessex and copy his Roman numeral.

Clearly that man’s tongs weren’t tongy enough. And now he’s got no one to blame but himself.

I assume it’s roughly the same feeling programmers get when some TV character “creates a GUI interface using visual basic to track the killer’s IP address.”

Dude, you’re awesome! Yeah I actually just saw that Microcenter has them for $699 rn, matches full retail for the Bambu P1S and $100 cheaper than the Prusa Mk4 self-assembled kit, which are the other two I’ve been looking at. Pretty sure my search is over.

That’s great, thanks so much! Pretty much seals the deal for me.

Thank you! That’s very helpful!

Do you have to use creality slicer or can it still work with Cura or Prusaslicer? And can I still use octoapp to watch/tune from my phone? That seems to be the biggest drawback I was able to sus out of their marketing materials is that it seems to be a lot more locked down to the creality ecosystem than prior models, I’m hoping that’s changed or I was just interpreting it wrong.

Thanks again, appreciate the insight!

How do you like the K1 Max? I’m considering that one for my next purchase, upgrading from a heavily modified E3v2. Any downsides or things you wish you would have known first? Any other recommendations? I am mostly satisfied with my ender, just looking to get some speed and stability gains and maybe higher print quality by moving to CoreXY/Klipper system. Ender was a great, cheap way to teach myself, but now I’m looking to step it up just a bit. Thanks.
