Chicken owner here: you can indeed absolutely tell what a chicken is feeling because they have a wide range emotions they will loudly tell you all about.

All my birds are like this. They’re very expressive.

You fucker, you almost got me.

No I’m saying the gap between lines on layer 2 and 3 is the same throughout the entirety of both layers without change (also on walls), but not present at all on layer 4 and onwards.

Yeah this is what I was describing. If the nozzle is too far from the bed the line will not be properly squished down, meaning that the line will be too narrow (gaps seen on print) and too tall across the whole layer, which means the next layer gets put down higher than it should and is also too tall but slightly closer to the nozzle. Rinse and repeat, eventually a future layer is at the correct height to get squished and every layer past that is correct.

Still really feeling like this is a z-offset issue, which could be calibration, or an unlevel or uneven bed, or tramming.

If the layers aren’t being properly squished down by the nozzle at the base sometimes the height will “catch up” and fix itself later. Is the left side of the image the first layer? I’m making that assumption.

The picture you posted just looks an awful lot like the offset is too high at the center of the bed; the gaps between the infill and the walls is a classic symptom of that. Having the other side of the model (the back of the picture) appear to be properly squished down is what makes me think that the bed or the gantry is the culprit, but that’s obviously just a guess from limited info.

Are you positive your bed is flat and level? That really looks like z offset issues to me.

Edit: follow up: are you also positive your gantry is square and level?

Just needed some art lessons.

Seriously. You need to be a psychopath sack of shit to take joy in a kid getting hurt, regardless of the situation.

Good to know

Genuinely, not being snarky, get a union trade job instead. Carpentry, welding, whatever. Not as fun probably but the stability is there.

Tech is such a shit show today in general; there are for sure still good jobs out there but having worked in tech for a couple of decades I feel qualified to say that building a career in tech is needlessly risky. Layoffs come fast, promotions come slow, and stability is nowhere to be found. I have spent most of my career across multiple companies constantly afraid that I might not have a job tomorrow… and I am both good at my job and well liked.

One time I lost my job because all of a sudden investors pulled out and nearly the entire company got laid off. Got an email Thursday afternoon telling everyone not to come in Friday because they don’t have a job anymore. There are countless stories out there like this.

The casino thing isn’t supposition, it’s well documented. It’s not entirely unreasonable to think it may be used elsewhere.

The cleaning brush gave me a double take, it was not clear from the thumbnail that it was for cleaning the bottles.

In the case of Google it is very much intentional, and documented. Good search means fewer search attempts and that means fewer displayed ads.

Social media does indeed suck, but there are people on it who don’t. I hope you find some of them too.

For reals. I have no idea what their company is.

I genuinely don’t know what point you’re trying to rebut here.

Bartending is, like, really hard. Average bartender must be on the upper end of the bell.

If you think that avenge MAGA thinking rises above this then you haven’t been paying attention.

Inland, the microcenter house brand, is surprisingly good for the price point and comes in basically every color imaginable.

Polymaker is also very good with lots of colors. They used to be very expensive but the price is competitive today.

That’s just regional pronunciation, still hear that a lot today.
