"If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're pre-school, you're fucked!" -George Carlin

Cold pulling is where you heat the hot end up to just past the melting point of your filament and push a bit of filament through it by hand until an inch or so comes through, then you cut the heat and let the nozzle cool down a bit, then pull the filament back through the extruder side.

This basically traps all the little bits of semi-melted plastic left behind from previous prints, and pulls them out as one big glob.

Different guides will give different advice about the temp to cool to, but basically you want it cool enough that it puts up meaningful resistance pulling the filament back out by hand but isn't impossible.

You should probably do this on some routine, but at the very least after any clog and when you get print errors that you can't immediately diagnose. Partial clogs are responsible for way more issues than you might think.

Did you read the article? Like, everyone is against this. The governor is against this. I live in Oregon and I promise you this entire thing is absurd.

In fact, it's so absurd that it seems more likely that this is a bizarre false flag by the Republicans to discredit "the liberals". Evidence for this includes Republican leaders already publicly claiming this is an attack on Oregon's economy by "[Oregon governor Tina] Kotek's allies" (unspecified)... Despite Kotek herself being vocally against this.

Edit: and it's frustrating how effective it is, just looking at the comments in this thread. No real questioning about the legitimacy of what's happening, just taking the article title at face value despite it being extremely misleading.

I wanted to use the deck as a PC but I couldn't do any dev work on it without jumping through hoops thanks to a lack of tooling provided and the immutable nature of SteamOS.

However, replacing StreamOS with CachyOS Handheld has reopened doors there in a big way.

You say you cleaned the nozzle, did you do a cold pull? Sounds like a potential clog.

Yaarrr just going to have to find it on your own. It's kinda a black spot for most communities to link there. My friend Davy Jones got in trouble for it once, the rules sailed right over his head. Now I need to go drink some High C.

I think I may be in the minority here; my family uses phone tracking across the board, but I don't think I've ever used it because I was worried, or to make sure someone is where they said they'd be. The vast majority of the time I check, which is infrequent, it's to see how far away someone is and guess at travel time. Like, "let's see how much game time I have before they pull up" or "do I have time to start a new episode?"

It is nice to know its there for an emergency though, I guess.

A raspberry pi 4 running libreELEC (which runs Kodi) is a much better investment if you're looking to stay away from evil corpos.

There's a really nice subreddit (which also has a Lemmy community) to teach you how to get content for it.

What? I've totally had work husbands.

Foot is a excellent candidate if you like tmux or Zellij (or screen, do people still use screen?) because they handle tabs and splits making the built in ones irrelevant. This is my daily driver.

Kitty is built from the ground up to be a multiplexer alternative and does tabs and splits out of the box.

See, the people that do this shit are well trained though. Brenda didn’t demand that he work during lunch and was in fact clear that he was within his rights to not. Instead, Brenda has simply suggested that it would look better and he would conform better if he worked some unpaid time.

They know how to skirt the law. They can still go fuck themselves though, the gaslighting assholes.

You can’t pull one over on these kids. They have tons of free time and none of the responsibility of adulthood, they’re gonna bypass whatever the fuck you put in front of them.

I was that kid that refused to be constrained and I’m so fucking proud of this generation for carrying on the legacy.
