Agreed, imho calibration is the biggest issue. Also print times - generally I wouldn’t leave a print job running (e.g. in hotel room whilst I’m out sightseeing) without being near or at least monitoring it. And finally the smell of some filaments can bother some people.

On the otherhand it looks really neat, the size is great and I think it’d be a good solution to your requirements. Just don’t be surprised if you end up making a permanent space for it in order to avoid too much recalibration everytime you set it up 😂

And addressing your other concern, I think part of the original reprap ideal was that a 3D printer could print parts to build another printer, and parts to modify and improve itself. I’ve got a i3 clone and parts are usually generic and off the shelf - you might be able to check what parts it uses?

I think the expression is “Caveat emptor”, though it translates to “let the buyer beware”.

He’s possibly the only reoccurring black character, and yes it is very much a product of its time.

In defense of the authors the Gauls are all depicted with large bulbous noses, the Romans with Roman noses, etc; all cariceturs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature.

In the attached image you can see Obelix is also depicted as a “knuckle dragger” (at times). The character leading them is a Roman.

This second example shows the Vikings.

It’s an old joke updated for new technology … that’s part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

Hotel made beds, and setting the duvet and pillows square are 2 very different levels of being made, imho.

Upon leaving the EU any laws that were in use were ‘enshrined’ into UK law. In order for the UK to remove EU laws we’d need to actively remove them through an act of parliament. (At least that’s my vague understanding…) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eu-legislation-and-uk-law

I’m happy to keep the EU laws, it’ll save time when we rejoin.🇪🇺🇬🇧

This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.

You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)

Because the old law is still applicable in some situations and now the prosecution potentially has 2 options to choose from …

I don’t know the real answer but I’d guess it’s a mix of “if ain’t broke don’t fix it” and the cost of removing the law (time debating in parliament) that could be better spent.

It’s ok, this game is AAAA so AAA will be ok. /s

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:

• Portainer
• Calibre
• qBittorrent
• Kodi

HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.

Interesting, I have a almost kidney shaped memory foam pillow from IKEA UK.

I’m not aware of the big chunky square pillows.

If UK is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, wouldn’t UK be inclusive of NI?

As someone who is a UK national I did have to google this as I never remember the differences between GB / UK.

Ahh, on rereading perhaps you’re talking about NI people who don’t want to be part of the UK!

I’m trying to post more comments and engage with Lemmy.

Slightly off topic, but one major benefit for me with Chromecast and keeping the TV offline is software bloat.

Our old Samsung TV running tizan had so many shitty updates that slowed the UI down to what felt like over a second delay when using the remote.

A stroke is a restriction of oxygen to the brain, or what people do to cats.

I think it struck you.
