Coffee aches
  • Cold Brew > Pour over - also, a TINY pinch of salt will correct a poorly made bitter-batch of cheap coffee. (I know, it sounds like the stupidest thing in the world, because I also thought the same thing before I did it)

    Heat pulls tannins out of the beans which is where the bitter flavor comes from. If you brew the beans cold, for 24hrs ahead of time, you get a lot more of the nutty tones of the bean, and a much less harsh coffee. Bonus if you like cold coffee too, because you just throw ice and a splash of milk in it.

  • Looking for a good VPN for 2025, any recommendations?
  • There is not a single product you use that doesn't have the support of some trump supporter behind it. You gonna go live in the woods off of the fat of the land?

    The food you buy, probably 90% Trump supporters. Gonna stop eating? Drive a car? Use plastic at all? All Trump supporting oil barons. Gonna stop using that stuff too? No?

    But you'll sit here and virtue signal that you're such a gooooood person because you're swapping over to another VPN...

    That also ends up having the same supporters behind it. Great, you hate trump, wooo you're such a virtuous person, (news flash: I'm sure most people do) -- Now come back to earth with the rest of us. Too many of you people let this shit live rent-free in your heads constantly.

  • Am I the only one who finds it frustrating how sites seem to be prioritizing mobile users over PC users?
  • It's been studied quite extensively, and there's a limit to the width on most pages for a reason. Your eyes have a harder time tracking a very wide width, and it's easier to read in a column like that. Even newspapers do it, because it's a well-researched topic.

  • They're rare, but they're unfortunately here
  • One, there isn't some governing body for the term "Tankie".

    It's called a dictionary. And even though there are many of them, they agree on the definition. Words mean things. Kinda cool how that works.

  • Even better, you can get their VPN for like $1/month if you choose the 'build your own plan'. Supports Wireguard as well. Been a happy sailing customer for 5+ years with no incidences, and they saturate my symmetrical gigabit connection with ease.

  • 'We will not hesitate': Canada prepares to hit U.S. with billions in tariffs
  • Yep, the people importing from the US within Canadian territories will pay a tax to Canada for the items. The US won't be bothered with it much. It only serves to raise prices for Canadians. Especially in instances where they don't have any domestic production of an alternative.

  • just got approved for a hysterectomy!
  • It's almost like you come from a long line of child bearing mothers or something.

    Don't discount people who want children. You don't, that's fine. But I don't see the need to hate on people who do want children; it's a natural instinct to have. At least some of the warnings come from lawsuits where doctors got sued after-the-fact.

  • They're rare, but they're unfortunately here
  • The officially recognized definition of a Tankie is one who is a strong supporter of communism. Which, I think we all agree is considered a "left" wing ideal.

    It's also strongly authoritarian, but it's solidly in the authoritarian left. So people calling others "Tankies" are, in theory, more right-wing than the people they're insulting. It's a left-punching insult.

    Usually these people are strong supporters of China and the old Soviet Union and are staunch critics of 'imperialist' nations such as Britain and the USA.

  • Hate it when someone nails me and doesn't even know me
  • I only do it because I grew up poor and was forced to eat everything put on my plate, because to waste it was basically a sin greater than murder. As you can imagine, that's a trait that doesn't work well as an adult, and it's incredibly hard to break.

  • Time to stir the pot
  • I can only see the white/gold when it's color-corrected like this, and I think some people just have some form of auto-exposure correction in their minds. If I remember correctly, the original photo is the one on the right.

  • just got approved for a hysterectomy!
  • In the past there was just way too many doctors who didn't understand women's bodies and would jump directly to this. It's kinda swung the other direction though where they're less inclined to do this procedure; but in some cases it's absolutely needed. Glad to see you're getting the medical care you deserve.

  • Learn to code
  • Do program. But ARK: Survival Ascended, and the studio behind it - Wildcard - Are absolutely the most atrocious group of people to have ever graced gaming.

    They set release dates, and not once in nearly 10 years have they ever hit a target - and not by like days or something, sometimes years. They planned a map release a year ago, and have pushed back its release date like 6x now. They adjust 1 thing only to have 5 other things break. They constantly blame their playerbase. Some of their modding community are better as 1-man-teams than their entire staff seem to be at UE5 development. I've seen single people release maps and content that rival Wildcard's entire production team.

    Either there's a LOT of nepotism going on, or they're plain incompetent. And I greatly subscribe to the idea of "Never attribute to malice, what could easily be explained by stupidity". Because never once have they actually been malicious. They care for their game and community, but holy shit are they god-awful at it.

  • Creality K1 Max, and it being shipped with a different variant. A post in case anyone runs into this in the wild.

    So I run a repair shop in Altamonte Springs, FL - Got a weird one that searching the internet only turned up 1 other instance of it happening, so I wanted to post some details on the repair in case someone else runs into it or in case Creality doesn't admit that it's a thing.

    Creality K1 Max - Symptoms: Unable to finish initial calibration. X and Y Axis moving twice as far as commanded, auto leveling absolutely destroying the build plate.

    Initial steps in fixing this were to replace the main board. Creality shipped some of these printers with some interference around the main board which could have screwed up the drivers. Many references to this across the internet.

    After replacing the main board, it still would not get past the input shaping setup, so the next thing to replace was the toolhead board on the K1. It seems the accelerometer on this one was either A: Damaged by the customer in their attempts to fix, or B: Faulty from the get-go.

    After replacing the toolhead board, the machine would get past the initial input shaping, but it would do it in the back left corner of the machine (from experience, this should be done in the center of the plate). So upon homing, I also noticed that it wouldn't regularly go all the way to the front right of the machine. When commanded to go X negative, 10mm, it would go like 24mm instead.

    In the end, I needed to: Replace mainboard, Replace toolhead board, let the machine crash into it self for 20+ minutes while going through Auto-leveling on the initial power on stage, connect it to your network, upgrade the firmware, DO NOT HEED the warning that you need to auto-calibrate again.

    Follow this guide to root it: https://guilouz.github.io/Creality-Helper-Script-Wiki/helper-script/helper-script-installation/

    THEN, after it's rooted, install Moonraker/Nginx, Moonraker or Fluidd, then connect to one of those interfaces, edit your printer.cfg and change rotation distance to 72 for this variation of machine.

    If you notice that the sensorless homing is not acting perfectly due to the different step-size of this machine, driver_SGTHRS: 55 is the configuration option you're looking for, and you need to set it on both X and Y. 55 worked for me, but the default is 75. 0 is least sensitive, 255 is most sensitive. I had to set mine to be less sensitive to finally work.

    Once you've made these changes, you can save/reboot and test out homing/movement once again. If everything seems okay, go ahead and run the self-test to complete the repair.
