[–] 1 point 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Please refer to my edit to my original post. I don’t want to co-opt anything. I can completely understand wanting something your own, and in no way do I want to infringe on it. I want to support in any way I can. I’m just relaying an explanation I’ve seen for expanded, extra-inclusive versions of the initialism. I’m sorry if what I said was offensive.

    IIRC I have seen versions of the initialism that include A for “Ally.” Which suits me just fine.

    Edit: I’m well aware that the first A is for Asexual. I’m not trying to co-opt anything. Explainers like this are what I’m referring to. I’m sorry if what I said was offensive.

    For those who don’t want to click the link, here’s the explanation that page gives for the initialism:

    L - Lesbian
    G - Gay
    B - Bisexual
    T - Transgender
    Q - Queer
    Q - Questioning
    I - Intersex
    P - Pansexual
    2S - Two-Spirit
    A - Asexual
    A - Allies

    I don’t bother filtering my water, because most of the places I travel have clean water available. Instead, I bring my insulated water bottle full of ice cubes through TSA.

    Interestingly they don’t care about frozen water, just liquid water.

    As soon as I’m through the line I go to a water fountain and fill it and now I have ice cold water.

    A misspelling of etcetera, commonly abbreviated “etc.” which is Latin (“et cetera”) for “and others.”

    If you want to be a douchey nerd you can pronounce it like it would’ve been in Ancient Rome, with a “k” sound for the c. It’s fun.

    I’m planning to switch to the iPhone Duo in a week, and I’m curious if anyone has tried Voyager on, say, the Z Fold 8 or another passport-style foldable. Or, if indeed Voyager will have support for the Duo, with the navbar moved to the side instead of the bottom?

    Edit: For anyone else curious, as of October 24th it works okay on the Duo. It’s great on the front screen, it’s good in portrait mode on the inner screen, it’s merely okay in landscape mode on the inner screen. Just like most iPhone apps that haven’t been updated for the Duo.

     

    Seems like Bambu Lab has a new trick for reducing waste. Rather than a toolchanger like the Prusa XL or the Snapmaker, they're swapping just the nozzle. As far as I can tell from the video, the printer still has a second nozzle which won't swap in and out, meaning a print can be run with 7 nozzles (six from the Vortek system, plus the second nozzle in the toolhead). So if you're using 7 or fewer filaments, no pooping is necessary.

    The cool bit here is that they're using wireless chips in the nozzles to communicate the thermistor data to the printer, so no pin-based connections are needed.

    Pretty cool solution, I think. I assume you'd still need a prime tower, but that's a small amount of waste if they're eliminating poop from purging the nozzles.

    I'm curious to see how they'll handle calibration, surely the nozzles aren't all going to be perfectly aligned all the time.
