I also have a zen4 cpu.

The 30 second boots are memory training. The motherboard is basically training itself on how the DDR5 memory modules respond on every signal wire and it can be inordinately slow depending in memory amount. For whatever reason, AMD DDR5 systems are slower at it than comparable Intel DDR5 systems.

Update your BIOS to the latest version then enabled "Memory Context Restore". The bios will then save the last training results and stop taking 30 seconds to start up.

Is yours a new AM5 socket based AMD system by any chance?

Being from a very rural area: guns are tools. They provide self defense against wildlife and crazy humans when you're miles outside of law enforcement coverage, they are pest control, and they are a humane way of euthanasia when a farm animal is suffering.

And like most other tools, such as drills, post hole augers, machine lathes, tractors, cars, etc... they can maim and kill indiscriminately when used incorrectly or maliciously. But you cannot simply ban or remove the tool from everywhere because it is still serves a very important purpose. Can they be more controlled, education made mandatory, more stringent confiscation rules in the case of people with mental illness? Yes, and probably should. But you will never eliminate the firearm completely.

I am prepared to recieve the hate and downvotes for providing a measured, reasonable response.

how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee?

That's the neat part; you don't.

This is the first time I think I've actually seen this comic untouched.

I've always seen the one edited to make fun of civil engineers doing FEA.

Often a combination of temp too high, not enough retraction, or water contaminated filament.

If the plastic in the hot end is too hot it will keep "running" out of the nozzle after retraction and you'll get strings. Similarly if you don't retract enough to actually pull plastic out of the nozzle during a rapid move, it will want to keep pushing thru. This is supported by the little blobs it leaves on that angled surface corner its travelling to when stringing, thats excess material squeezing out during its rapid moves then being left on that wall.
And if there's water in your filament all bets are off on how it'll behave.

215 is pretty warm for that esun PLA especially if you're using the stock brass nozzle, try bumping that down to 205 or even 200, and increase your retraction speed and distance settings in prusaslicer a tiny amount (0.1mm distance, 2mm/s speed at a time until you see improvement is plenty)

Use a temperature calibration tower to test things out.

can't wait to see the hexbear response to this one

Instead let's stay here till 2:30a playing dumb video game, become sleep deprived, and hate my entire existence in the morning even more than I already did

Turns out the secret to gaining interest from women is..... checks notes good diet, getting fit and healthy, having a consistent tastful style, eand being well read in an interesting hobby.

Never would have fu-cking guessed.

Aside from hard science and engineering degrees where the technical knowledge is a foundation for what you'll learn in industry, a college degree is simply a piece of paper that says "I received a balanced education and have my life together enough to focus, manage time, and complete tasks reliably for 4 years straight." Rarely do you ever use most of the knowledge you gained in college besides the aforementioned life management skills.
