    So yesterday I got a 3D printer, a number of filament storage/drying containers and about 20 spools of filament, mostly PLA and TPU. Setting the printer up is probably a weekend task. Is it traditional that the first things you print after the test print are things for the printer itself?

    If I ever run for parliament, and much of my social media use is aimed at making sure no one ever asks, I will run under the banner of the single issue Get In The Sea Party. I don&amp;#39;t even need to make a website because @AppeasePoseidon already has. https://getinthesea.au/

    Thinking about how I&amp;#39;ve literally seen someone&amp;#39;s brain switch off when an LLM says something is an option and they just instantly and uncritically accepted that it was. It was weird.
