Purchased myself or redeemed a code for?

I was gifted the orange box for Christmas and that’s when I registered my account. First actual purchase through steam was audiosurf but had redeemed Left 4 Dead and CS:S before that.

Both my partner and I actually like the taste of Buckley’s, maybe it’s a nostalgia thing, the DM stuff works but it also interacts with some meds so definitely talk to a pharmacist. Extra strength fisherman’s friends are my go to cough drop but salt liquorice also works for sore throats.

Semi related as a general precaution, a lot of cold/flu meds have acetaminophen in them, it’s really easy to overdose that if you’re not aware and are taking Tylenol or something at the same time, read the label and talk to the pharmacist.

The next track on the album Troubadours of the Final Quarrel was stuck in my head constantly in 2023, you could also try their album from 2021. Totally suggest listening to this album from the start though.

I’ve had solid luck with a garolite sheet (place I buy from has fr4 on steel sheets), pretty much what I’ve been using for most prints as it’s durable and just works. I use a few drops of a Nano polymer adhesive that I spread thinly over the surface, found it helps with release. I’d actually really recommend something like that over gluestick, less messy, easier to get even and it’ll hold, good for a bunch of other materials as well.

Yeah, at least in my oven it’s still an incandescent bulb, used mine recently to speed up drying, top of the fridge is going to be warmer as well.

That said, I’ve just kinda rolled with the colder kitchen recently, takes longer but I tend to do linger proofs anyhow. I’ve had good luck with a heating pad on top of the tub or a box for times I want something in a day.

I had to get some preground recently as I ran out of my regular stuff, totally get why people don’t like coffee if that’s all they have access to. It was both weak and (to me) burnt (even though it claimed to be a medium roast). Lots of larger places over roast their coffee and it shows, no wonder people use a pile of sugar at places like Starbucks.

If you can find some lighter roast stuff from a smaller roaster (or coffee shop that roasts their own), give that a try. Coffee can totally be like tea in that it has a wide variety of flavours depending on origin and processing. I like more fruit forward or floral coffees (which unsurprisingly I also like in tea).

Thanks!

If you do get around to it, would totally recommend going through openmw and something like the I heart vanilla modpack if you really want the vanilla experience. It definitely shows its age but has its charm, world is interesting and there’s almost and overwhelming amount of tools to work with.

Old one I’ve told before, not moving to a fixed hotend as soon as possible (v6 style hotends the mk3s uses for example, really easy to mess up) have absolutely accidentally loosed the block during a nozzle change, petg was leaking out of the top super slowly, only realised the issue once the blob started pushing the sock off.

Kept that hotend around for a while as a display piece, was a total write off. That also was the event that made me start keeping spares on hand, why I have my printers more or less part compatible for consumables (always keep a few extra heaters and rtds/thermistors around, do also have at least one extra hotend around).

Morrowind for me, Just Good Morrowind runs pretty well on the deck, openmw does support controller pretty well (similar to the Xbox morrowind if anyone else rembers playing that), but I use a community config that works really well.

Restarted my last run because there were a bunch of mod changes between then and now. Found my oblivion disks cleaning up this year so super tempted to get that going as well, would like some qol mods though.

Anyone have recommendations for Skyrim on the deck? Found it chugs a bit with the default settings.

I’ve seen This fan (ldo DF5015H05S) mentioned as a replacement, 4.4 cfm @5000 rpm, supposedly faster than the stock fan. Found a Post on the prusa forum also suggesting good results from a fystec fan, this links to an aliexpress page but have seen on eBay and Amazon.

First link is to kb-3d which I’ve have good experience with in the past for some mods.

Edit: I did swap my mk3s+ to an skr mini before modding the heck out of it, that is an option if you’re willing to put some time in and aren’t concerned with keeping totally stock. That’ll let you use 12v and 24v fans too which open up a lot of options, but it will see you having to recrimp some connectors so not super straightforward to flip back and you’ll lose the prusa specific cuatomizations. I tried to recreate some as klipper macros and had found a repo outlining the same, I’ll see if I can find the last config I used (current machine is a Frankenstein, different board and setup entirely) just so it’s available if anyone else wants it.

I wish Prusa had the specs for the OEM part…

I’m almost certain I had a cheap 5v fan on my mk3s for a while after the fan killed itself (saw others complaining online about the wires breaking off at the solder pads really easily) which quick check online seem to range 2.7->3.5 cfm so flow rate wise I don’t think it’ll be a problem.

Great to hear that, thanks!

Just put two and two together about my comment here about an issue launching non-steam games actually being flatpak related as those were the items I checked. Didn’t spend a lot of time investigating because the programs themselves ran fine launched from the desktop, just not from the steam shortcuts so I figured steam was the problem somehow and reverted to test. No issues at all after that.

Some reason I couldn’t launch any non-steam games after this update, games could still be run from the desktop, just not from steam (steamdeck for reference). I switched back to regular instead of beta and could run openmw again, maybe it would have been fine after a reboot but regardless it was strange.

Just in case anyone else experiences the same thing. Didn’t do a ton of investigation, however removing the game from steam and adding it back didn’t fix it either.

From A CBC article about follow up on Carney’s comments on contingency plans

There is, however, an increasingly puzzled reaction among some Americans who have grown accustomed to Trump’s threats, taunts and trolling.

Matthew Schmidt, an associate professor at the University of New Haven in Connecticut and a former instructor at the U.S. Army War College, said many Americans, including himself, are unaware of how Trump’s words affect people in other nations.

“I don’t think I have a visceral sense of what Canadians are feeling about the United States,” Schmidt said. “We really don’t have a sense of the impact of what the president is saying has on other places.”

He dismissed the notion of the U.S. military taking action against Canada, but said Carney has taken the prudent, responsible course of a leader and measured the risk.

I fall on the same side as you, I hope so, but doubt it, and while this snippet isn’t surprising at all to me, it still disappoints me. Yanks would probably see military action as just a joke or something at this point, or because it’s outside their borders, they wouldn’t care.

I’m being (hopefully) exaggerative and frankly antagonistic towards the Americans, but I’m increasingly annoyed by some of them (any time someone comes around to appolgise about how they’re not one of the bad people and it’s not all Americans, it’s tone deaf, ignorant and seems self-serving) and despise their government. They need to be aware of how they’re seen from outside, we do too.

Breezy is fantastic and works with gadgetbridge if you have something like a bangle.js

You absolutely can get addicted to food, others turn to food for comfort, some eat as a response to trauma as well (ever see my 600lb life, almost every person there has had some sort of trauma or mental health struggle.), therapy and other mental health care never seems to make it into these plans and that, in my opinion, is where they fail.

Most governments never seem to treat obesity as a chronic illness, just some sort of personal failing.

Edit.

Obesity risk factors are also genetic, no one chooses to be obese and the constant shaming and hatred people who exist in fat bodies get is unreal. I know fat people who are terrified of being seen even going for a walk outside because of internalised fat shaming, it fucks with your head something fierce.

I grew up fat which did not set me up for good habits later in life, I have struggled with binge eating and stress eating all throughout my life, getting an ADHD diagnosis and medicated for it was probably one of the best things that could have happened to me, others in my situation may not have the ability to get that help or be in a place they are ready to even seek it.

There’s a brand of gum in Canada called Thrills that literally brands itself as tasting like soap. I believe it’s rosewater flavoured, it’s not popular.

Our devs just write their own IaC stuff so like, they can provision their own databases and shit without us knowing with no backups or customer keys and stuff to back up properly.

That’d give me nightmares too on top of the DR, hopefully at the minimum they can’t spin up resources in anything but a dev/test environment.

Best of luck to you, governance is super important, if it makes you feel any better you’re definitely not alone.

I like some of the fruity notes you can get with lighter roasts, local place has some they do where the focus is on the jammy, citrus and floral flavours, absolutely not for everyone and I can totally appreciate that.

I rotate between pour over and aeropress, have a cloth filter for my chemex and that’s what I’ve found I like personally, going for something like 15:1 with a medium grind. For aeropress I’ll go quite fine and invert it, something like a 5:1 ratio.
