I used to be an avid reader but as I got older and busier I just couldn’t find the time.

Then when I did have time there was always distractions, or other things I could be doing.

So now I read primarily via audiobooks through Libby and my library.

I read 130 books or so last year that way.

Mowing the yard? Audiobook.

Long drive? Audiobook.

Waiting at the doctors? Audiobook.

Dishes? Audiobook.

And then when I’m really invested I’ll relax by playing some mindless game while I listen. Think match 3 or bejeweled.

Just engaging enough to keep me from getting bored while listening but not so much that I can’t do both.

Balatro, BABA is you? Bad candidates for playing and listening.

The last couple of years I burned through the wheel of time series, all of Brandon Sanderson’s books (except skyward which I haven’t gotten to), a lot of Adrian Tchaikovsky, and others.

Considering how we use it. It is absolutely fascinating. Same for magnetism

Keep it floating… other than that useful for makeshift spears/weapons for fishing?

This tip brought to you by the Tetanus and Sepsis better health council

Journey is good.

Rime is a good (but emotional) story.

Right. And if you’re going to do it at least do it right.

At least make his tie grumpy cat, or Harambe.

Wouldn’t this be equally offset by the increase in inertia from their masses?

One thing to consider. When the stocks that are part of a mutual fund drop… then your retirement contributions will be buying them on sale.

Assuming the mutual funds are spread out to minimize risk (1 of the funds companies folds, etc) overall you’ll be better off long term.

As you age you’ll start moving your investments to more stable options (talk to a financial adviser on the specifics for your plans). This way they that won’t benefit from huge gains but also are a lot less likely to be wiped out by massive drops.

In the meantime look at how your funds are doing over time. Not even year to year but maybe every 2 or 3 years.

And the rest is standard UI conventions. Some of which have been in place since the 90’s.

Old Windows UX guideline documents for those who may be curious.

Or the end key which goes to the end of a any line in any text editor in windows

Sounds like the perfect thing to test and iterate and then use that to have something machined in metal.

Of course with some stronger materials it may be fine. But how resilient will the belts be from the tension/stress and is there any risk of injury when they snap?

Geordi’s Tip: Use a separate Holodeck for … personal things… to avoid embarrassing situations.

Yes.

although in some cases with a publisher they could also be involved in determining requirements such as minimum number, etc.

Yeah… I’m an idiot

Cool. Now do quantum bits so that they’re all simultaneously calculated. Wait… don’t

Or the router, in another state, and the person with access to the closet/server room knows how to push a few buttons at best.

That happens once… and you get misconfigophobia for life.

Fine, I’ll do it myself

The Speed of Light is NOT About Light

Klipper is a different beast but once you get it going it’s leaps and bounds ahead.

No more compiling and editing firmware. Since the Klipper firmware itself is built and deployed to the board so the logic of what features, pins, etc can be controlled by your pi.

E.g. the board is no longer the “brains” of the printer but the brain stem. Where the brain (the pi) tells it on pin A “tell this stepper motor to turn this”, on pin J “tell the heater to cycle on” etc.

Basically you download Klipper, look at a printer.cfg for the board you have, and then just use that as a starting point.

Here’s the generic printer.cfg for your new board

https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-creality-v4.2.7.cfg

The real power comes from having the option to use macros for things like START_PRINT and END_PRINT.

For example, when I added a Nevermore fan on an skr mini e3v3 board I just had to wire it, find the “pins for the plug” on the board and then add the necessary config change.

Didn’t work? Comment it out and restart firmware and you’re no worse than it not being there. Adjust, restart, and go.

So where I’d avoid a marlin update because of the hassle of building and updating I now just check for updates, ssh in and build it with a command and update the board over USB.

And that’s just to update the Klipper firmware on the board for whatever fixes/changes are needed for Klipper. For things like new macros or existing items changed around you just update the config and “restart” and it does the rest.

The only thing that you lose with an ender is the screen. Their screens aren’t dumb… they have their own weird firmware. Personally I just use the website and now the moonraker mobile app to control everything and I don’t bother with a screen at all.
