When they say "radical" left I just re-frame it in my mind as "Hey man, you are totally radical !". In this time of trouble, we are all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I am so with you on this. My family usually has a really nice get together on the day of, but I would much prefer to do that minus all the pomp and gift exchanging. In other words, just a nice annual extended family dinner and visit.

American farmers don't want a bailoutβ€”they just want to sell their products without Trump's stupid tariffs destroying the market.

By popular demand, I added runners (AKA kit cards) to my THOR mech model. This should help make the print a little less daunting!

THOR and the rest of my Printables store are on sale through December 1st. Consider supporting me for Small Business Saturday! www.printables.com/@soozafone/s...

What I'd really love for Santa to bring me is a Prusa Core One+. The INDX upgrade comes out next year and promises virtually waste free multi-color printing by virtue of the individual hotends for each color.

I finally got around to installing my CoPrint KCM Set on my Sovol SV08 printer. I'm off to the races with multi-color printing. I'm not a huge fan of the purge tower waste, I try to mitigate that by using purge for infill or supports when I can.

It's already been done, and I have to say that they aren't as good as I remember them being when I was in school.

I'd definitely pay a monthly fee but only if it also included a way to blocklist the "creators" that flood those sites with AI generated garbage. Strangely NONE of the sites have that feature.

Imperceptible the change as our votes become mere gestures. And our lords and masters determine to cast us in the roles of serfs and slaves in the new empire's name.
Yes and every bloody emperor claims that freedom is his cause. As he buffs up on his common touch as a get-out clause. - Peter Hammill

That's good to know and I'm glad the plate survived. But that blemish will still be staring at me every time I print. UGH

The real tragedy is that this happened on the pristine other side, after I made the same mistake two days ago. I'm such a newb.
