If you pull back all the layers of this onion you will most likely find out its just humans manipulating a situation to fund secret projects and funnel money into private corporations. It happens elsewhere as well but mostly under other different veils.

Japan sets new nuclear fusion record

Reply in thread

Fusion is a very long term goal and I'm sure they are careful to not tarnish its image. But yes sadly the first commercial fusion reactors probably won't be sustainable but once they are a reality investment into the technology will be much greater and hopefully cleaner fuels will become a reality.

Has google stopped working for finding anything?

Reply in thread

The search engine makes the rules for what they deem important in finding the correct results. SEO is the practice of optimising of a web site to best get your site on the top of the list. All the painful stories about grandmothers and long lost lovers at the top of recipes are to achieve better SEO and a good example of how SEO made the internet worse.

Where to start with a Volcano hotend?

To be honest the Volcano HE is the wrong thing for printing small detail like a DnD character. If you do all the calibrations it can print quite well but will never have the control thats needed for high detail prints. Your best bet is to have an extruder setup that makes it easy to change out the HE. I run both the volcano and normal E3D v6 and swop them out when needed with a EVA extruder.

Finally using Linux full-time thanks to PopOS

At home I started running Linux Mint years ago in a dual boot setup and rarely use the windows partition anymore.

For work I've threatened to do the same a few times but never actually got that far.

I think it helps with all the software going cloud based so the reasons of needing windows only apps are slowly disappearing even if that's another can of worms.

Im already in my mid 40's. For me it helps to have a solid maximum cap of 4 things to juggle at a time. 2 is good 3 is great, 4 is OK but only 1 or more than 4 is looking for trouble.

It varies quite a bit. People management, creating documentation, architecture, coding, problem solving etc. I make pretty broad jumps so it helps with resetting my focus to a new challenge. I'm a department head so it gives me some freedom in what I do. I still have the hyper focus days as well where I ignore everything but the task at hand but those are harder when you get into people management.

First claimed successful replication of LK-99

Reply in thread

Managing heat is a large part of circuit design. Superconductors can fundamentally change everything about it meaning far smaller much faster and more capable in every way. As an example 95%+ of modern CPU's and GPUs are cooling related. The actual chips are tiny in comparison to the whole component.

Newby help please

Reply in thread

I don't remember exactly but its been in the substrate for about a month already. I mixed the coir with water by weight according to a web site and I have been misting the top and sides of the container frequently. There is always condensation so my assumption is that its fairly damp. I fanned the tubs on occasion but I read a few forums that say its not needed for the small containers I have. The only nutrition in there I would think is the grain spawn but after reading a few sites it seemed like that is fine for the button mushrooms.

Help with stringing after shifting to Klipper

Reply in thread

Its a balancing act so if you are only upping the temperature to get higher flow but not the speeds to use that higher flow then there will be some issues. Each filament also has different temperature and flow characteristics so just because the new filament works with the current settings doesn't mean the old filament was junk.

First layer woes - looking for advice

Reply in thread

Most brands should work fine. Same with hairspray.

I've been using glass print surfaces and glue stick for 10+ years. I just wash off the glass with warm water every 2-3 prints otherwise just add a new layer of glue stick before printing. I'm going to try a G10 print surface next as I finally found some in my country.
