Oh well.. closes curtains, starts ripping up old clothes and turns on TV.

You can edit the grub config (assuming you're using Linux) and add reserved ranges for the affected physical address.

find the linux boot command and add a memmap=$ argument This tells the kernel to avoid the bad parts.

In your case it looks like a relatively small chunk of bad memory so.. memmap=64K$0x130FE0000

I've used this trick to stabilise systems with faulty RAM and it works.

Young enough that I didn't really appreciate it first time I watched it.

Got traumatised as a kid watching her ridiculous cockroach style death scene.

Its a plastic resin, but wouldn't be surprised if someone thought to mix asbestos with it at some point. If made recently, it won't contain asbestos but still the dust would be harmful if the dust is breathed.

Depends, at home on WiFi.. I might watch videos. If I'm out and about..
I read wikipedia pages, ars-technica articles, read the news, scroll through pics of my cats.

I found alcohol (IPA) wasn't a reliable fix for all failing 1st layer issues. I still use it because it seems to slow down the inevitable and it's quick compared with a trip to the sink.

Hard to tell, most of it looks fairly good except a few spots here and there.

That could be grease on the print bed, maybe time to give it a wash? When PETG goes wrong for me, it's this 90% of the time.

I use hot water and a little detergent with a lot of rinsing. Use gloves because even clean hands leave oils behind.

With PETG it's hard to get the first layer right but if it's good the rest of the print generally goes fine.

Molten PETG is very sticky and if you get a bit stuck to the nozzle it can build up, get worse and suddenly take out a bunch of nearby lines leading to gaps in the layer like this.

To counter this PETG first layer should be:

• Printed very slow e.g. 20mm/s
• At a higher Z offset than PLA, the plastic should flow out the nozzle and fall onto the bed rather than be squished flat.
• High bed temperature 80C / 176F
• Zero or very low fan speed for the first couple of layers

If you can see marks left by the nozzle it's too low. The lines should have a rounded look.

It could also be wet filament, does it make popping sounds when printing?

I was a bit of a deadbeat, I had a reasonably ok job but I was living in a tiny flat and spent most of the money I earned on drink and drugs, didn't have a steady GF. I was into all sorts of extreme sports then and that led to a pretty serious biking accident requiring multiple trips to hospital. Was very lucky it wasn't fatal.

It was 2008 and that was the turning point.

Maybe due my brush with death? I started to turn my life around. I stopped smoking. Changed my scenery. Quit my dead end job after finding better one. Moved from the city to the countryside to be with my girlfrend then got married.

It's hard to think all of that would have happend if that tree hadn't been growing in that particular spot for me to crash into. Things could have gone very differently.
