Being the best you can be implies resisting temptation for junk foods. He liked his tattoo but the second he was tempted, the tattoo’s advice went out the window. He either covered it up to hide other people from seeing it while he eats a donut, or he’s hiding the tattoo itself from seeing and judging him.

I had to read it like 5 times because I thought there was a dirty undertone.

"How impressed everybody is" is the basis of money, law, self-worth and our models of reality.

Can you expand on that some? On the surface, it doesn’t match my experience at all.

Ford F-x50 pickup? Check.

Some ridiculous manly Edition, like Raptor Edition or Avalanche Edition? Check.

Small bed that can’t even hold a sheet of plywood? Check.

Extended cab that can’t even hold seat at least 8 people? Check.

It is clean, undamaged, and clearly not used by the owner for hauling anything? Check.

That’s not a pickup truck. It’s an antivaxer minivan.

You got sentenced because a tree branch fell and damaged a fence? Sentenced to what? By whom?

Maybe he just ran out of the paper towels Trump threw at him the last time he was in PR. Now he had a spill to clean up and he’s finally mad.

You just gave me opinions I didn’t know I held.

I looked into this a while back and gave up.

I didn’t find any (good) models I wouldn’t have to pay for, but some of the paid STL sites had sets available for really reasonable prices, so that wasn’t really a blocker.

But FDM is basically incapable of printing any interesting models. Even if you’re printing good layers, most interesting models aren’t geometrically compatible with how an FDM model prints. You can print with supports, but removing supports from such thin, fragile bits of a model is nigh impossible without doing damage.

I went as far as shopping around for a resin printer, but I didn’t like all the ventilation cautions I read. Adding a printer is one thing, but having a well ventilated area that overlaps with where I’d want a printer was an unsolveable problem in my home.

If you just want to give it a try, grab a model off Thingiverse and see how your printer does. If you can get a piece you’d be happy to proceed with painting, that might be worth a few more iterations to see if it’s workable for your setup.

Now that reminds me of a story my dad told me once. In like the 70s he went on a road trip with a few friends and they ended up driving to Mexico and had to stop for the night because it was pitch black and they didn’t know where they were.

So they pulled over on a dead quiet road and set up the car to sleep in it. They didn’t have much food but saw mango’s growing in trees right along the road. They thought it was weird there was so much fruit growing at the side of the road when it wasn’t a farm or orchard or anything. It was delicious and free.

The next morning they had proper light and thought they’d have a couple more mangos before heading out. As soon as they cut into it they saw it was TEEMING with wriggling little bugs all inside the fruit. In the dark they didn’t see nor feel the bugs.

They did not eat more mangos that morning.

It sounds like you’ve got at least five hilarious stories to share if your day has left you feeling this way.

A significant part of the Alberta electorate cheers this loudly. They are noticing exactly the things they want to notice, unfortunately.

South Korea is going to have a wealth of embarrassing NK military footage from this to use in their cross border propaganda deliveries. That could damage morale inside North Korea in a way that’s never been seen before.

Fingers crossed this dumb decision hurts their regime hard.

YSK there's an app called CNV CityFix you can install on your smartphone that allows you to review and report issues in your area that the city should address.

Every once in a while I'll see some egregious graffiti, dumped trash, tree debris blocking a path, etc. More often than not, someone has already reported the issue in the app and the City is aware of it and adds it to their list. Within a few days (or less), a crew with the right equipment comes out and addresses it.

Being able to snap a photo and send the location to the city to put it on their radar is great for both parties. The city gets quality reports about issues quickly, and residents have a low effort way to get them dealt with.

You can also search for reported issues nearby, and there's often laughs to be had at people's descriptions of their perceived problems, or particularly witty ways people describe legitimate issues.
