Cannot emphasise enough that one of the most overpowered cards you *always* have in your deck as an engineer is to work on solving problems that users actually have.

Hey #3dprinting bubble, quick question!

I have an Ender 3 v2 (2020) here and noticed that the part cooling fan can't be turned off. It's running at full blast as soon as I turn the machine on and doesn't react to the usual M106/107 g-codes either.

Can anyone confirm these commands are supposed to work on this particular machine? I assume the board (mosfet) is toast.

Not them!

And yet they're going to concede.

[Also, do not Reply Guy to me about the purpose of an endowment. I used to be in philanthropy. I know how it works. And this is EXACTLY when you want to use your big ass obscene endowment.]

get library cards and use them often (online e-book and audiobook rentals count!). sign up to volunteer at your local library. donate money to your library’s general fund. run for a spot on the library board.

join and participate in your local “friends of the library” group. donate books (if your library accepts book donations). set up your own little free library. vote for library funding when it’s on your local ballot.

Captured with the Phase One Achromatic back and the Rodenstock 32mm/4.0 HR-Digaron lens, with the back shifted down 8.5mm to maintain the building's geometry. I brought out contrast in the sky with a polarizer, but otherwise used no color contrast filtration. The camera was positioned across the avenue about 10 meters up from the plaza level (at the bottom of the "canyon" of the skyline reflected in the bottom center of the building).

If Canada at least joins the Schengen area and has a good colaboration with EU (much more advanced treaties in many areas including defense) than it would be a huge SLAP to Trump and the whole american system because EU, Schengen Area plus Canada and future EU states (Ucraine, Moldova, Bosnia, etc) in reality would be just as strong as USA on all fronts in 5 years time.

We would rock the balance of power and democracy in the world.

On this day in 1871, French troops sided with the people that they were sent to repress against the generals and the oligarchs who sought to dominate them. This set off a revolutionary chain reaction that changed the course of history.

That’s the thing. There •is• hope, but none of this magically takes care of itself. No matter how true or how good, none of it happens on its own. We act or we fail.

Morning reminder: being unapologetically yourself and loving the things you love is inherently an act of resistance against people and systems seeking to control you

If you find yourself for a moment forgetting the horrible things happening and getting caught up in a small act of creativity or joy, that isn’t betraying anyone or anything. Being fiercely ourselves is good

Why learn actual skills when you can just look impressive instead?

Introducing rust-stakeholder - a CLI tool that generates absolutely meaningless but impressive-looking terminal output to convince everyone you're a coding genius without writing a single line of useful code.
