Defederation blocks communication both ways, I believe.

I started 3d printing back when you had to build it all from scratch, and it seemed ABS was the only filament to be found. PLA came along soon enough and made things sooo much easier. Then came some more exotic ones like TPU or Nylon I think, but I never tried them out because they seemed pretty niche.

But now I'm getting back into it after some time and am seeing PETG popping up more and it seems to have become one of the mainstream materials now.

Are there any other key materials I should become aware of these days? Has PETG started to replace ABS as a superior "high-temp" filament? Does anyone have experience with these?

Love Letter. A very quick game with just 13 cards. Games take about 3 minutes so you can play multiple rounds if you want. Suits 2-6 players (best at max 4 in my experience). Generally very popular and easy to learn.

Comes in dozens of themes as well, if you don't like the "princess in a castle" theme. You can find Batman, Cuthulu, The Hobbit, versions depending on your preference.

OnShape is my go-to. It's what I taught my students when I was a TA for an introductory engineering class at college, and they could pick it up in about a day.

Can do just about anything a "professional" cad suite does, but it's free, works in a browser, and is generally so much better designed so you don't have to fight against the UI to get anything done.

You were into Warhammer at age 4? Man, I couldn't even read.

Didn't one of these lab grown meats recently hit the market finally?

The way I picture this is by letting communities have some sort of "partner communities" listing. If mods of games@xyz decide they like the content of games@abc, and gaming@123, they add those communities as "partners" (perhaps those communities have to accept which in turn adds games@abc as their partner). Then, when any user subscribes to one partnered community, they also become subscribed by proxy to the others, and begin to see posts from all 3.

This helps smaller communities piggyback on the success of willing larger communities and gain a bit of visibility as well, which should encourage growth of each partner so smaller ones don't just die out.

Communities can "unpartner" at any time, in which case users would only remain subscribed to the one they originally selected. And of course, users could explicitly block any of the partnered communities if they don't want to see the whole set.

Conversations with my spouse are almost entirely of the following:

  1. planning and coordinating
  2. infodumping
  3. little love phrases ("I love you." "You are a good wife." "Come give me a kiss.")
  4. listening silently while my wife shares the latest gossip and about her day
  5. spontaneous deep conversations

I love her.

I always see pictures of people's collections with boxes stored vertically on their edge. Looks nice, but when I do this the pieces inside tend to get jumbled around.

What's the general consensus on the best way to arrange boxes on the shelf?

Wait so what was the trick to save time and filament? Just rotating the part to use fewer supports?

Wait, Gormenghast has Science fiction? When does that show up? I only read the first book so far and don't remember a lot.
