It's pretty much vinegar with some spices. Years ago when I moved to NC, ordered BBQ pulled pork at a little hole in the wall place. Not what I expected. The pork itself was delicious but they poured that vinegar over the plate and essentially ruined it. I still get BBQ here, but order a side of rib sauce. That vinegar stuff is garbage.

    He has shown no respect for any other declared national monument (such as Bears Ears) so why should anyone respect his declaration? Fuck him. Rip the gaudy gold decor out as soon as he's left, restore to the original design, and put back in a rose garden for good measure.

    Corporate surveys are not anonymous, despite their claims otherwise. For that matter, corporate ethics hotlines they want you to call to report complaints are not anonymous either. Mainly they're about containment. They want you to call the hotline, which basically goes to the HR department, so problems can be managed internally (i.e., not at all). Companies really don't want you calling an outside agency with some authority to hold them accountable.

    Orca is my preference. I had started with Cura, but had nonsensical random issues trying to run my Ender printer. Had short-term issues with Orca crashing and having display issues when I moved to Linux, but that appears to be fixed. Orca is back to being regularly maintained, and has plenty of great features. If you read about some new slicer features or techniques online that people are working on, Orca's probably got it.

    I would recommend trying out Enshrouded. They just did their 1.0 release recently, been playing it during development for the past 2 years with friends. Works great through Steam/Proton, I'm running Kubuntu on my system at the moment, and it runs without issues. Game has a ton of content, quests, things to fight, and places to explore. You can run through quests as a group or solo. Not everyone has to be on to advance the storyline. If someone misses a mission, the game will list them so the player can go back and run through them if they want. Not required but nice to do just to level up. You can build a character any way you want on the skill tree. Pick a mage route, or barbarian, assassin, archer, etc. Multiple routes spread out radially from a hub and the skills interconnect. Choose a pure route or mix and match any way you like. Should be enough options for whatever the folks in your group want to do, and you can pull your points and re-spec to something else if you feel like it. Good game with a lot of new things added in with the recent release. It's been fun even though development, and now it's just even better.

    It's also easy to run your own server. I've got one running on an old PC so folks can hop on any time they feel like it, and we aren't paying rental fees every month.

    For those of you running your printers from a Linux PC, what slicer software works for you? I switched from Windows to Kubuntu about 6 weeks ago. Had been using Orca for about 2 years, but the Linux version doesn't fully function for me. The build plate preview and functions are just a blank page. Trying to link a 3d printer causes Orca to crash. From comments online, there are plenty of people with the same issue and no resolution yet, using various Linux distros. So is anyone having luck with a slicer program using Linux, Wayland, and a nvidia graphics card?

    Update 07Aug25: so far seen that Orca does not work with the latest versions of Kubuntu (25.04) nor Ubuntu (25.04). That's trying both flatpack and app image. Installed Mint Cinnamon 22.1 (based off Ubuntu 24.04), and Orca partly runs from a flatpack install. The build plate image and features do show up rather than a blank page, which is a start. Unfortunately trying to link my printer by IP address causes the software to crash after I click on the Device tab. Now Orca won't reopen without immediately freezing up, then crashing after about 20 seconds. I think I read about a workaround on Discord for this, need to find that discussion. Downloaded Prusa, just need to try that as well when I can get back to this. Cura refuses to connect to my printer at all so far. It's been revamped to align with Ultimaker printers, changed a lot from when I used it a couple years ago. I don't think it likes my Klipper setup. May work if I went back to stock Creality firmware, but I have no desire to do that.

    Update 09AUG25: Right now running the LTS version of Ubuntu (24.04.3) and Orca is usable. Installed using the flatpak. Like under Mint, I can get a visible buildplate and work with a model under the Prepare and Preview tabs. I entered the IP address for the printer under Hostname (using Octo/Klipper for Type since I'm on Klipper) and can upload files to the printer. So long as I don't touch the Device tab in Orca, it doesn't crash or lock up. Access the printer through the web interface, just put the printer IP address into Firefox and can run from there. So, I have something that works at the moment. Thanks everyone for suggestions, it helped point me toward something workable!
