I also saw him during the Running With Scissors tour in the early 00’s and have wanted to see him again since. I’m stoked!

I’ve got tickets to see him this summer!

Gross!

I’m only into dragons fucking wagons

He definitely likes Indiana Jones. He negotiated a new movie as part of his return to Star Wars. He’s the big deal in IJ but only one of the main characters in SW

I adopted an adorable young dog. He’s currently wearing me out while we adjust to each other which keeps me from doomscrolling or focusing on the USA’s descent into fascism.

I needed this.

We will never be able to repay them for this vigilance

I just setup an Elegoo Centauri Carbon yesterday. At $300 USD, it’s a lot of printer for the cost.

I’ve also built printers which is a different beast. If you think your son would enjoy assembling a kit, then there are several great options within your price range. The Voron line of open source printers is where I’d look.

It’s hard to go wrong with a Prusa, but I have a lot harder time justifying their prices these days. I had a MK3S for 5.5 years that served me well.

The moment I needed Microsoft’s permission to use my computer after installing a graphics card, I made an image of the drive, wiped it and installed a Linux distribution. That was 2008, and I’ve been a very happy computer user since.

I know not everyone can make that switch, but it’s easier than ever before, and Valve has really changed the calculus with Proton. Gaming was the biggest thing holding back Linux adoption (IMO).

It would be fitting for this hardware shortage situation to finally change Windows’ dominance. Microsoft has been one of the biggest investors in OpenAI.

Poetic justice?

SuperSlicer has very good default Voron 2.4 profiles, but it is almost bewildering how many options it has

“Bless your heart”

I think in most cases that’s true. I basically never recommend anything that needs major assembly. I don’t think the average person wants a hobby, just a way to make things they see online. And that’s totally fair. I wanted the hobby.
