more power to you. don’t get me wrong I think it’s great keeping old hardware going but I have access to a large cache of old hardware (at work we have a defunct computer museum. More Apple II’s then anyone could want) and it’s generally not worth fixing because there’s always another collecting dust just around the corner.

But if you were going to use this old ps2 with a ps2->usb dongle for a daily driver it’s probably not worth it after soldering and cosmetic detail

down vote this post but he is speaking truth. unless you’re going to solder and deal with the cosmetics of diy, just get a modern mechanical keyboard

I hadn’t watched it till now… yuck!

but probably something anyone that wants to talk about this should see

but it got me thinking, I think the shooter was aiming for his mouth and the drift made the shot hit a little lower

you might want to check how tight the filament is before it goes into the system, like it was a popular trend to find a way to get your spools on bearings instead of free spinning, as that extra tension goes a long way to create problems.

Good luck, hope you can fix it without having to tear down the whole print head

I hope this gains more attention… wowzers!

It depends on the filament you use but if you are using brass nozzles, best to get use to replacing them periodicly. Just look at thingaverse or the prusa site for nozzle assessories and look at how people make cases for multiples sizes and numbers of nozzles. IDK what kind of quality that FlashForge has but its pretty typical to wear out the nozzle (just maybe not as fast as you are experiencing)

but you might be having problems with the preloading or the tension on the filament feeding gear. IDK the method that your printer uses but I had similar problems with my PRUSA until I replaced the Hotend PTFE tube. Those will also wear out so get a few if your printer uses that feeding system

oh, dang I thought meinshao was shitposting a shitpost… it’s like some shitpost all the way down!

also fuck Charlie Kirk, reap what you sow. the planet is a better place without him.

I just can’t get past the first part… JFC you created this mess yourself!

I loved Klarna’s pay-later option. Especially in the weeks before Christmas, when expenses add up, it was encouraging to be able to order gifts and outfits for New Year’s without having to pay for them until the holiday madness was over.

Sorry you are having hard times… makes me think of being young and having a hard time figuring it all out myself. I am a generally normal man but when I was young I didn’t know what I felt. IDK if you are in the same boat I was

I didn’t know if I was gay until the day I kissed a boy. We were about the same age as you and it was one of those “well that question is answered, not gay”. I am always thankful for that memory.

In my world, there are plenty of people like you in daily life. So much so that it doesn’t even register most of the time. Washington State is a world away from Ohio it seems.

I always truly felt that Dan Savages message “it gets better” is a truism. I knew a lot of people that left their world and came to Seattle because it was where it got better for them.

if you arn’t gay then it doesn’t matter either. There are so many women that I personally know that would prefer a feminine guy over a jock beefcake meathead

I hope you know, it does get better. But it might mean you need to leave that old life behind to start a new one in an environment that will welcome you.

I remember feeling grossed out or disgusted by fat people and one time someone said something wondering what gay people do in private. I distinctly remember thinking, WTF dude like I don’t like fat people but I am not thinking about their sex lives. They arn’t destroying society and if they are happy then who cares? My opinion is meaningless to this.

bigotry is bigotry and that helped me find my line internally.

anyways, you are always welcome to sit by me and I would welcome a conversation with you

but it would have to happen outside of Ohio because I am probably not going there :P

one of my favorite quotes from the director David Lynch “fix your hearts or die”. I think the ugly masculinity that you have had to face should have to face their hearts

the closest nuclear site to me is Hanford. Yeah, its GREAT

I had to look this up… because I hate grammer and never practice it very well…

fuck these bots that only just predict, regurgitate and are not intelligent

fuck peter dick eater (he is ashamed of his own desire) thiel

i bet he wanted that Epstein dick deeply

its ok to just like one or two songs

I think of many one-hit-wonders but the Spacehog song “In the Meantime” is what I will refer to here. I really liked it on the radio when it first dropped. Got the album and was not at all excited about the rest of the songs. Come time, they dropped a new album and of course I had to try again but it didn’t even have one song that I really cared for. I sat on the CD for a while and gave them a listen every so often, because that one song is sooo good! maybe I was just not giving the rest of the songs a chance. Yeah no. I listed to their 3rd album before buying it and was content to just listen to one of their songs. Its always in my mix and I love to hear it. But thats the only song of theirs that I like.

IDK but I don’t have kids or horses. Kids seem to be the easier choice because after a little time they take care of themselves. Horses can live for 20 or more years and you have to take care of them every fucking day (my sister has three, she also has 4 kids but their all adults now).

It really just comes down to if you want children or not. Don’t let the horse be an excuse.

it looks like its a thing but not with any of the old content nor does it even resemble the same site

Gawker didn’t like that he was a closet gay man using his wealth as a weapon against the LGBT community, so they outed him. He had problems trying to sue them because they didn’t report anything false. When the Hogan tape was leaked, it was considered revenge porn so, Thiels used the wealth to get the revenge on Gawker

while I have little sympathy for them if the accusations are true, cutting all those people at the same time is just stupid and dangerous. Hopefully there’s still people around the know how the systems work…
