I know it’s not the point of the article but seeing a person in a trench/ditch with no reinforcement and no slope makes me so nervous.

That’s a bad way to go if it collapses.

The more I look at it the more it may not be quite 5 feet requiring it. Here’s hoping so.

Assuming you can work out any glare/coating issues a standard “arm” and some kind of protective sheet may work.

The handles for moving it and the sheet to give you something to “clean” when it needs it or replace without having to buy a new monitor or move up to the durable/expensive line of products.

The Chaser by John Collier… that ending … still gives me chills

Tnut should do the trick. If not you could use the same bolt all the way through for the tensioner but that might be a pain to line up right.

It doesn’t matter if you include a person on the motorcycle, or if there’s a sliver of a streetlight on the next square.

It will not stop…
ever…
it will find you.

And it will solve you.

I think you misunderstand.

Here’s an example. It has the math but doesn’t require that you “know” how to work the formulas or equations.

Because he’s doesn’t require that you know the math. He shows it, explains it, and visualizes the concept.

Quantum Mechanics 1b - Birth of the Quantum II

I can’t remember which video it was but in one he explains about how Einstein was shown that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle was related to relativity in a series of letters. At which point Einstein conceded the point.

All this was done showing the equation… and then shifting the pieces around and explaining what they were. Until at the end what was left.. was e=mc^2.

Edit: It was this video but I misremembered. It uses Einsteins equations to prove the uncertainty principle

Quantum Mechanics 3b - Probability and Uncertainty II

My point isn’t that the math isn’t there. It’s just that you’re not dropped into a video with here’s a formula… solve it and you’ll see why XYZ is true. The equations themselves are explained, visualized, etc.

If there’s a concept such as bell curves he shows that without requiring you do the numbers by showing how random motion will lead to certain probabilities over others.

And then compare to this next episode in the series

Quantum Mechanics 1b - Birth of the Quantum II

And this later one. Where he gets more and more into the mathematics. But you’re not just thrown into the deepend at the start

Quantum Mechanics 5a - Schrödinger Equation I

It’s not at all. I’m saying it was good then and it is now.

It’s gotten heavier and more technical but that’s because as it goes on you learn and it gets deeper. And yet they still find a way to make it accessible even though they’re obviously still only scratching the surface.

As a counter point via science is really good but tries to avoid the deep math as much as possible while explaining the concepts behind it. All the while it’s been pure science and less of the popular topic as a way to introduce the science.

Line go up. That’s all the matters. Every quarter it must go up.

If we have to gut the “machinery” that will make us money tomorrow in order to make it go up today then that’s what we do.

It’s still fantastic. But the tone was different.

They pulled us in with the quirky, and tricked us into learning about space time curvature, spin, Higgs fields and tensors.

The sly dogs.

Some kind of activity tracking like a Fitbit right?

You could actually see the internal layout of the base from the paths the thing recorded via GPS points.

If I recall correctly that hole goes all the way through the extrusion.

Worst case you can use a bolt and nut.

And if it’s not loud enough put it in a small metal pan or bowl, and place that inside a partially opened dresser drawer. Amplifies it quite a bit in addition to your suggestion to physically get up to turn it off.

Crazy Tuesday… the day we eat at Crazy Joes Taco Palace.

Best upgrades for me was the following in order of overall impact

Klipper
BTT Skr mini e3v3 board
Silicon bed spacers
Klackender mod by KevinAkaSam
G10 build plate
Orbiter extruder and dragonfly hotend for direct drive
Belted Z mod by KevinAkaSam

More recent EBB36 canbus for the tool head mainly because it frees up some ports on the control board for other things like my Nevermore.

For overall quality and reliability the following have the biggest impact.

Ensuring the physical frame is as square as possible. As well as adjusting and shimming things such as folded aluminum foil under the Z extrusions to get them square with the base.

The board and Klipper are huge since it makes it easier to use the klack probe (Klicky for ender) and the silicone spacers allow me to dial in the screws with adjust_screws.

And skew correction because my X gantry is twisted (tested that on granite counter top) and after I’ve done everything else to ensure it’s physically right i still had to work around some of it with software.

Now I can just fire it up and print PLA, ABS (it’s in a grow tent enclosure), PETG and TPU without any issue.

The g10 plate works great with all of them, Klipper can compensate for any warping, build offset as long as the screws are properly adjusted (which I test every couple of months or after I’ve had a print that really didn’t want to come off.

I’m building a trident myself right now and I’m using the “Frankender” to do it with really great quality results.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check them out.

Cat: this is a nice place and I like you. I want to make sure you’re eating.

Here, take this

What a mess… sounds like the devs got burned by various Unicode edge cases RTL, etc

🔥

not anymore

Oof. That sounds horrible

Is it because of the lower case Latin æ since it’s technically one character even if two bytes?
