Just a few hours after building my first 3D printer and running a test print, I stabbed my palm trying to trim some extraneous plastic from the model.

I'm a glass-half-empty person. My views of a situation tend toward the negative so to me, the desire to be a mod stems from the enjoyment of saying "That's not allowed!"

I know there are those who want to keep a community safe and assure the policies are enforced but if it means they get to swat someone's nose and say "No, bad member", all the better.

First, take a class on riding. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and many Harley dealers offer them. An advantage is that passing the class will give you the endorsement on your DL, which you need to legally ride.

Next, start small. Getting used to a smaller bike will help you get a feel for how to deal with the nuances of controlling a bike and how to deal with traffic. As others have said, get the right gear and use it. Even if your state doesn't have a helmet law, wear one.

When you're ready to move up, you can easily sell the smaller bike and get the one you want.

And when you're out on the road, assume nobody can see you. Be vigilant and always look for a way out of a situation.

Been waiting for the iOS and watchOS PBs. I'm updating both now.

Or a coffee bean?

Ivory

I've never been a black coffee drinker. My favorite is a sugar free vanilla oat milk latte and nobody else makes it better than I do at home.

So far, so good. The UI changes will take a bit of getting used to. I haven't learned a quick way to change faces, assuming there is one.

The new Snoopy face is outstanding.

Love the Standby mode in iOS.

The Opus is ok. I was really excited for it to come out since I wanted a grinder that could do pour over and espresso. I like the anti-static tech but the all-plastic build is a bit of a let down. It works well, is easy to dial in but I think my next grinder will be more metal.

The Decent is fantastic! True the settings seem overwhelming but it comes with a ton of presets that all you need to do is load the portafilter, pick a preset and hit a button. I was making great shots on day 1 without a lot of fiddling around. Once you get the hang of the settings, it's fun to experiment with other presets or even make your own.

Apple Music because it's part of my Apple One subscription. I'd use it over Spotify regardless.

I only pay for one other music related subscription...SiriusXM

Haribo Gummy Bears.

And coffee.

But not together.

A hot shower anytime.

It is. I got it from Etsy.

Go with the Ode V2. They’re much quieter and with the anti-static feature, much cleaner. I had a V1 with SSP burrs and thought it was great for everything except espresso.

I replaced it with an Opus after I got an espresso machine.

For non-espresso, half & half. For espresso-based drinks, Califia Farms Barista Blend oat milk.

Edit: Added "based drinks" to avoid any confusion

Mine is a 3 cup version and has "X17" on the bottom so I don't know that 10 is the size. That base is definitely larger than mine. Fill it to just below the safety valve and measure that. Mine is right around 130ml

It's probably not a lot different than the MK3s. Just some upgraded components but it looks like they're all in the same place. The extruder looks a bit more complicated.

It's beu-i-ful!

A good antipasto salad, but with Italian meats like salami, prosciutto, or pepperoni, Kalamata olives, garbanzo beans, mozzarella cheese, lettuce (obviously), Roma tomatoes, oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.
