The dumbest thing about changing teacher only days, is they are not counted in then mandatory number of days a school is open for. All this change will do is make them close earlier, so the kids will still be off school and parents will still need to make arrangements.
It’s fucking stupid.
This stuff pisses me off so much.
Educational curricula should be independent of politics. It should be solely based on educational research and achievement statistics, not fucking ideology.
Cheers mate. Neat stuff!
I wonder how much force a sail of that size is expected to produce?
Congrats mate! Thank you for all your hard work on maintaining this little piece of the internet for us!
It’s all good mate! Thanks for the suggestion. When I first started printing I had that exact issue.
Hey mate, I keep my filament in a dry cabinet at 5ish% humidity, and I’ve had the same results with two different filaments in there. I even chucked my filament in a food dehydrator at 40C for 12h with no effect. I’m pretty sure the filament is dry!
I love these! Thanks for sharing!
After sleeping on it, I remembered that my new heatbreak doesn’t feed the bowden all the way to the end of the nozzle like the stock one does, so I’m pretty sure I have it seated correctly. I’ll check it though, many thanks for the info! :)
I know esun is quite popular, but I never tried it.
I’ve generally had the best results with it. Ironically, before the upgrades I had almost no stringing.
I’m using a 0.4mm nozzle. I probably should have mentioned in the OP that I didn’t have problems before, but the upgrades have happened in addition to moving to Orcaslicer.
Now I’m worried if I’ve got my Bowden tube seated in the hotend correctly…
Thanks for the reply mate!
I didn’t think to mess with z-hop - I’ll give that a go, and I’ll do some testing to make sure the Bowden is seated correctly and the wipe on retract is actually happening - thanks!
The print in the image is a ‘torture test’, and just something I had on hand to illustrate the issue. I’m actually not fussed if there is still some stringing at the top, but other detailed prints were getting it pretty bad, including retraction towers.
I’m all for increasing rail and coastal shipping for cargo. Having lived overseas, it’s criminal how much we rely on trucks here.
Absolutely. If there was the political will in this country, we would have an excess of cheap, renewable, power.
There seems to be a general push against hydrogen electric transport recently. I agree that it isn’t suitable for small-scale transport, such as cars or even busses, but I do think there is a use-case for large transport.
Ultimately the problem comes how do we get the electricity from the generator to the vehicle where it needs to be. Obviously batteries are more efficient, but they come with their own problems. They weigh a lot, which damages infrastructure, they require rare metals, they have a maximum capacity per unit weight.
Of course they have advantages, but I think as the vehicle gets larger, and the charging time requirements drastically increase, I think there comes a point where hydrogen electric systems are worth looking at. Trains and shipping being the main ones, and potentially trucks.
Of course, if the hydrogen is not generated cleanly then it’s moot, but the same is true for pure electric systems as well.
Ultimately, I would like to see renewable generation that turns excess power into hydrogen for a train and coastal shipping fleet.
Honestly embarrassing for New Zealand.
Absolutely. Which is why I think having a digital currency is great, because it adds another tool we can use.
Those that want to can use it, and those that don’t can continue to use cash. I don’t agree with some of the naysayers that digital cash will lead to the removal of physical cash.
I hate cash. I just have a card wallet, and a note clip if I absolutely need it. Otherwise I carry no cash.
AFIK that’s the way premined currencies work. The “miners” (which are not miners, as you say they just validate the blockchain) are controlled and are not that many
To be fair I’m not that knowledgeable about XRP and other premined tokens.
There are transaction fees on cash too, it’s called GST, petrol tax, income tax, etc. This would just make it easier to levy taxes so we can eliminate more onerous taxes
Oh I get that, I’m all for reducing or removing regressive taxes such as GST in favor of progressive taxes. Dreams are free, but that ain’t going to happen.
Actually, a digital currency would make it much easier for businesses to collect and report GST. I’ve worked in retail before, it’s a real headache.
I don’t think this is universally true. Both my kids weren’t too fussed if their pocket money was cash, or deposited in their accounts.
I think validating blocks should be done centrally as well. I can’t think of a good reason to allow it for the public for a government backed fiat token.
Unless you want to save money on electricity. But I would hope the goal of this is to make the digital tokens functionally the same as cash, the biggest part being 0 transaction fees.
Jesus fucking christ. What a stupid take.
