Gotcha, I'll give this a shot next time!

If things are working for you without glue, there's no need to mess with it. Personally, I like having an extra barrier between my model and build plate to make removal easier, plus I'm paranoid about damaging the plate. What was the reasoning for never using glue stick?

When I see first layer issues like this, my go to steps are:

  1. Wash the build plate with hot water and soap to remove any built up glue, dry, and reapply a thin layer of glue stick
  2. Turn the initial layer speed way down, like 10mm/sec, and 20mm/sec for infill.

I've started using the Qobuz store to slowly build back up my digital music library. Every month, I take what I would have spent on Spotify and spend it on flac files instead.

You can do it! I'm rooting for you!

I did this one not too long ago! One thing that helped was recognizing that there's no "roar" delay like when the first one shows up. You can just attacking as they fall down from the ceiling. Second was trying to optimize for damage to take one out asap, and reduce the amount of time you need to dodge both of them simultaneously. For me that looked like Barbed Bracelet, Flintsteel, and Beast Crest. Good luck!

Actually, to reduce confusion with the X social media platform they are calling it TwitterBox.

This feature is actually built right into YouTube. I found that if you disable your watch history, it refuses to show you any videos on the home screen. And as an added bonus, it blocks you from the Shorts tab as well!

Secrets stay safe in spite of people knowing them, not the other way around. It's like saying, "More holes make the ship more buoyant"

We can. Thankfully though, art is plentiful and we don't have to.

I'm not super into retro tech, but It's become clear how advancements in technology aren't strictly positive. The things that get taken away aren't obvious and they aren't advertised. Things like ad-free interfaces, fewer privacy concerns, faster loading times because it isn't running dozens of background requests, less UI friction from popups, modals, and elements shifting on the page, no barrages of notifications, no perverse incentives where the user is the product.

Retro tech isn't immune to any of those things, but it is refreshing when you return to one of these devices and discover it has features you didn't realize had been taken from you.
