Not willing to figure out how to change the display name here but I moved to Mastodon years ago when it was only the one server, and now that it's thousands I'm [email protected].
@newbiedm They're also very sensitive to changes in ambient temperature. Drafts, etc. Make sure it's sheltered, and keep a thermometer/hygrometer and log what the temp/humidity was for successes and failures.
Also remember that the feedstock is very humidity-sensitive; keep it sealed up.
Dude just cruised past me riding a lawn chair taped to an electric skateboard while vaping and blasting Jack Johnson. Now I’m questioning all my life choices.
@shanselman Whenever we go back to Wichita we have to pack our luggage with TastyKakes (and sometimes pork roll and scrapple). My husband mocked me for carrying a grocery bag full as my under-seat luggage but when we were in line in PHL I was far from the only one.
@newbiedm Tips: make sure the printer is not in a drafty place (even if it has an enclosure). Get a laser thermometer thingy to check the temp of the print bed (and consider gaffer tape). Also check to make sure the print file is made for your hot head size.
@Smylers2 Do they... do they mean an Alexa or something? I mean, they're converting underused indoor malls around here into things including mixed-use with housing, but I still wouldn't describe that as "*inside* your home." 🏬
@newbiedm Don't rush it. Precision is *everything* in those critters. (We have a MendelMax RipRap, which my former-Boeing-Machinist husband assembled.)
@RagingOwlbear@newbiedm The "different interest groups" is so far largely served by different instances (though it's a rapidly evolving ecosystem and if the past is any indication the current influx of G+ people will probably lead to more direct parallels being implemented). Threading is pretty robust.
@vboykis Me while I'm packing up endless boxes of books: I'm going to only buy ebooks from here on out.
Me after we arrive: Oh I live near an IKEA now so I can buy hardbacks more often.
@vboykis Same. I have a few series that I got started in ebook during the cross-country move. I continue buying them in e format and that's my go-to for times I don't have a dead tree with me. But by and large, I'm team Physical Book.
