Ah, the Winchester Mystery House approach

Those are hard seltzers. The ones I'm thinking of and drink are all just fizzy, flavored water and nothing else!

Have you tried seltzer at all? Throw some fresh citrus in and it's really good. Might even scratch the same soda itch.

I feel that. Quitting alcohol is big suck territory

Hey, stay strong. Shit gets easier, I promise. Six years sober, two years without nicotine here. I did it, and you can too.

I'm not ready to make the jump to Klipper just yet. I want to iron out hardware issues first.

I have a couple important takeaways. First, build the damn thing to be actually rigid out of the box. I thought I could keep it cheap with only 2020 extrusions, but I'm honestly paying a helluva lot more to add some stiffness to it.

Second, plan for your wiring at any given point to double. I got really tidy with my wiring at first and now it's an absolute nightmare. I gave up and half of it dangles off the back on the floor. It works but I really could have done a lot better with some better planning. It is truly a shameful sight.

I did add an extra pair of motors to the Z axis, bringing me to a grand total of four. I'm waiting on some stepper drivers to get it going again.

I don't have any pictures on hand, but could take some later.

I built myself a 400x400x500 CoreXY machine from scratch.

Honestly, my prints are dogshit unless I go slow, and then sometimes they're dogshit anyway. I have found the entire exercise as one of futility and massive frustration... but I low key love fucking with it. I can't help myself, I keep building upgrades and improvements for it. I keep sinking time and energy I don't have (and cash that I do) into this fucking heap of shit and I can't help but love it to pieces. It's dumb as fuck and it's pretty fun to work on.

Honestly the vibes are about the same for a project car. Don't daily it or you will hate yourself, but if you put it together and tune it right, you'll have a blast.

I signed up for it last night for exactly that reason.

Not an answer I was expecting, but one I'm glad to see

I appreciate that John Ottiver is packing heat.

[–] franzfurdinand 1 points 6 months ago

Nope, not at all! You've got it right.

I'm definitely a 1, and generally I don't. I do, however, really like interactive fiction in both work safe and non work safe contexts. I think I really enjoy being able to visualize it in my mind more than I do watching it.

I'm not sure if it factors into your pet theory, but I'm asexual so the appeal of physical forms is also very lost on me. That's a different can of worms that I'm happy to open if interested, but I'll leave it be if not.
