We adopted a pair of kittens last year after one of our two brothers passed, they don't leave him alone.

Wake up to variations of this or them all piled on a chair in the living room.

The one with more white is particularly obsessed, practically the orange guy's shadow.

    I did mine end of 2021/beginning of 2022, these days I actually use my LCD steam deck for most everything and even then I'll often stream from my desktop. Right now I'm on a morrowind kick so playing a nearly 25 year old game, deck handles openmw and mods amazing.

    I have a huge backlog already so don't feel compelled to buy a lot of new stuff and I'm just not keeping up with what's hot anymore. I have other hobbies than gaming as well, other reason I've really liked having the steam deck is it's easy to pause and come back later if you want.

    I've been increasingly concerned (to put it mildly) with anything mentioning Canada from the states in the past few months. Between this and articles like Canada is in the U.S. midterm spotlight. Will the results be a blessing or a curse?, I'm not putting it past the yanks to anul their midterms because of "Canadian interference" (which is pure projection)

    Eh, I'd say 3 has the best gameplay honestly (the multiplayer was really fun, me:a personally has the best systems of them all let down by giant open worlds and lacklustre story), 2 is by far my least favourite of the trilogy though so maybe id's just my own biases. At the time, coming from one was really jarring.

    There are gas burning dryers, but I've only ever personally seen or used electric ones (resistive heaters), it's there to vent the damp air outside. I'd personally like a heatpump dryer, as far as I know they don't need any venting.

    Purchased myself or redeemed a code for?

    I was gifted the orange box for Christmas and that's when I registered my account. First actual purchase through steam was audiosurf but had redeemed Left 4 Dead and CS:S before that.

    I've had solid luck with a garolite sheet (place I buy from has fr4 on steel sheets), pretty much what I've been using for most prints as it's durable and just works. I use a few drops of a Nano polymer adhesive that I spread thinly over the surface, found it helps with release. I'd actually really recommend something like that over gluestick, less messy, easier to get even and it'll hold, good for a bunch of other materials as well.

    Yeah, at least in my oven it's still an incandescent bulb, used mine recently to speed up drying, top of the fridge is going to be warmer as well.

    That said, I've just kinda rolled with the colder kitchen recently, takes longer but I tend to do linger proofs anyhow. I've had good luck with a heating pad on top of the tub or a box for times I want something in a day.

    I had to get some preground recently as I ran out of my regular stuff, totally get why people don't like coffee if that's all they have access to. It was both weak and (to me) burnt (even though it claimed to be a medium roast). Lots of larger places over roast their coffee and it shows, no wonder people use a pile of sugar at places like Starbucks.

    If you can find some lighter roast stuff from a smaller roaster (or coffee shop that roasts their own), give that a try. Coffee can totally be like tea in that it has a wide variety of flavours depending on origin and processing. I like more fruit forward or floral coffees (which unsurprisingly I also like in tea).

    "Upgraded" my mk3s again

    I did a bear mod of my mk3s a while back and them came across a CoreXY conversion that uses a chunk of the original parts through ProosaXY. I swapped the axis steppers as I would have needed another z motor anyhow. Anything I had to cut down I bought new, but things like rods, bearings, power supply and bed are reused. I had a chunk of my mods done a few months back, just didn't have a chance to do assembly until the holidays.

    Made some mods for my my setup, I like to try keeping similar parts & setups for my printers to make spares and servicing easier, so made a carriage that could accommodate a voron tap carriage w/ a canbus board on the extruder, lose a bit of print space but I'm fine with the tradeoff.

    Also did up a tophat and panels, they're partly printed, partly cut from hdpe & wrapped with aluminum tape, was trying to vaguely emulate the look of my aluminum composite panels on my v2. I had space to add some basic insulation so did that. I did up a door using the frame from the mk3s as the front and hardware from the ClickyClack Door. I still need to tune it and setup slicer profiles, some of the panel clips are mismatched as I used what I had on hand, will swap for all black or orange ones later. Power supply needs a better mount, but will work for now.

    Apologies as the pictures aren't great, took them last night when I was doing a (really rough) fast benchy as a first print.
