Never heard of this before but it's fascinating. I think I found my next religion.
Depends. Is the loneliness a byproduct of choices made for happiness in other aspects of your life, like moving to a new city or being picky about your social circle? Are you choosing to stay in and not interact for certain reasons? Or is the loneliness caused by things you can't control, like people leaving or mental health issues?
If it's the former, I say embrace it and work on focusing less on how you think your life should look. Pay attention to the things that you love by yourself. Take in the moments any moment where you notice you're having a great time and don't have to stop due to someone else. Imagine you just got done with a 12 hour road trip with someone who talks too much and breathe in the silence and peace of the moment. Listen to rain or cars rushing by. Sometimes, I find that loneliness can be caused by feeling like you're missing out on something but maybe wouldn't even make you happy. There are lots of people who feel lonely in their families or friendships or relationships.
If it's the latter, I'd work up to a more comfortable and satisfying level of socialization. It takes time. In that process, you'll hopefully find yourself leaning pickier and finding out what works and what doesn't. Be selfish. Learn to spend time with people and then decide for yourself whether you want to keep spending time with them. Treat your energy and presence like precious rubies. They are! Invest in who matters most to you and keeps you feeling good after you leave. This will build your confidence and belief in your worth and motivate you to keep working on the things that keep you from happiness. Ending loneliness isn't a goal you get to, it's a side effect of choosing people who see the real you and doing the self care of letting others in. :)
This is just one perspective, but people-pleasing is when you go overboard with being considerate of others -- to the point that you lose yourself. So like the one friend who will say they like all the same things as you, say yes to everything, never disagree, etc. just because they desperately need you to like them. They don't have boundaries, so even when someone hurts them, they're like "it's okay, I don't mind!" They're missing a bit of self-respect.
There's nothing wrong with being kind or considerate of others! It's really important to have to form deeper relationships. The problem is when seeming 'nice' takes the place of your personality or being honest about your real self, because you value other's validation more. People can sense that and it can put them off because they want to get to know the real person. People-pleasers can play the character that they think others want them to be, instead of putting in the work to like and value themselves and communicate their own needs and boundaries.
I feel like what would honestly be easiest would be to just have some tahini on hand as a backup. It is sesame so it's not a true substitute, but also it lasts for ages so there isn't a huge reason to not have some around.
You know, if you think about it, there are a ton of inventions that have been created as a means of that same process of experimentation with divergent thinking. Who knows what you could end up finding out :)
Here's what you can do.
Look up instructions for your slicer on how to get the weight (in grams) of an object before it prints.
Take your spool, and weigh it -- ideally with a kitchen scale, in grams.
Go to this website and find your empty spool weight.
Subtract the spool weight from the kitchen scale weight. This is how much filament you have left.
Compare the number from your slicer to the filament you have left.
If you'd like, you can also look into getting a filament runout sensor so you don't have to hover over your printer to catch when exactly it runs out of filament. It'll automatically stop the print so you can replace to spool.
I haven't been yet personally, but I have a lot of friends who go every year. Some of the things that they love about going are the big cultures around consent, the random awesome and unique things that you find everywhere, spending time with friends, a lack of money economy, being your completely human self w/o any judgement, and basically stepping into a world that's separate from the rest of society. You'll find a lot of these things at local burns as well. If you are getting curious, I would really encourage the latter. Regional or local burns are like mini burning men with a similar vibe, but a lot more conscientious and tight-knit. The best way to get into one is to find a facebook group for the one closest to you. Sometimes they'll meet up outside the events, and you can go to ask questions and to coordinate. Since there's a lack of money economy, everything is done either with trades or with shared responsibility. There's something at burning man called "radical responsibility" where each person is responsible for their own wellness and contributions. So you can't go expecting there to be vendors or other people with food or water or what have you -- it's important to figure those things out ahead of time so that way you're not a burden on others (which allows you to be a contributing member of the community and show up fully). Like I said I haven't actually been, so I don't know the full details, but that's most of what I do know! Most people I've met that go are some of the most interesting people I know and really know how to party and what life's about for themselves, so I recommend finding out more :)
One thing that I'll add in is that I started with a similar setup, but I've heard it isn't ideal to be turning your pi on and off all the time without a proper shutdown sequence. I have my printer psu and filament dryer both plugged into smart plugs. Klipper is connected to home assistant wirelessly so I can turn them both off when prints finish, at idle, etc. My printer is in an enclosure, and the psu, pi, and mainboard both sit outside to keep them from getting hot. Pi has its own charger. I don't find it to be a burden to have the pi and psu both plugged into outlets rather than only having one plug. I find it to be a lot more stable for troubleshooting and any power issues that have come up.
Just so you know, I also started off with the teaching tech all in one electronics box. I spent a ton of hours modifying it for my particular sbc and printer. I guess I ran into issues when I would have to take out one of the boards to work on it, lol. The tolerances were really tight and it was just a pain to get it out from behind. I still have the pi+mainboard both in a box, but it's a new one I designed later on that just sits on a shelf below the printer (wires come through a hole). I find it to be really useful for printing ABS and other hot filaments and keeping a clean and tidy enclosure.
Man, we really need better labor laws.
That reminds me of an interview I did. It was a partial graphic design/videographer sort of job (my focus is in design). I was looking to break into the field, it was entry level. But the guy interviewing didn't want to fund or provide any kind of equipment like cameras. He suggested to me that I could crowdfund to get equipment so I could work for him. Seriously, lol. It was entry level pay too. Anyway, I was pretty quick to tell him I wasn't at all okay with my social circles and family funding things necessary for a new job.
Just incredible.
I was just thinking about this the other day. It's weird how Google has become so unusable due to its own practices that it seems to be giving up on being a search engine. I've been getting spam pop-ups lately on mobile search asking me to use AI. Of course people will wanna use it, they can't find their answers normally anymore. You search for something and it'll show you something completely unrelated because it's trying to be "helpful" and corral you towards buying shit, and it doesn't even do a good job at that. Heaven forbid you start to look past the first 3 pages.. I don't have a clue how these websites in the search results are maintained when they're filled solely with spam and nonsensical gibberish. I'm totally with you. We used to actually see communities around and now it seems like they've fallen into the dark web, unfindable except by means of knowing someone who knows someone or, frustratingly, reddit. Paradoxically, it's like the random AI-generated hash from the dark web is now here clogging up the tubes. I feel like everyone else came along and started dumping trash everywhere because we didn't put up any signs or make any rules not to litter.
