8% is still too high. No one should profit from people being imprisoned.

Ligma nuts.

Smells like a parody account, but Poe’s law, etc.

I upgraded to a nickel-plated nozzle, and it made a noticeable difference in PETG sticking to the nozzle less. Not a huge difference, but worth the few extra dollars.

Service industry workers getting harassed for their management’s shitty decisions, as usual.

Think of it like laying rows of bricks. If the bottom row is uneven or off in some way, it’s going to throw every row above it off.
