Their faces must be red

Another possible privacy consideration is whether you’d be required to surrender the phone to authorities if the company is legally compelled to turn over electronic records/devices due to an investigation. Not sure how personal devices with multiple profiles are handled in that scenario, but even if they can only look at a work profile I’d imagine you’d still be handing over your phone for some period of time and the hassle that comes with that.

There’s also a few plugins for Cura with variations on the name TabAntiWarping. I’ve had https://github.com/5axes/TabAntiWarping installed forever but I’m not sure if I’ve ever actually used it in a print. I just took a quick look and there’s a couple others listed in the marketplace now too.

It’s weird that this looks like an edited picture to bypass dupe detection yet it’s from the actual Far Side website.

The bottom-left boards of the ship and water touching it have clearly had changes made. Also the three portholes in the middle. And in the sky at the top there’s some writing that’s mostly been brushed out.

I didn’t spend a tremendous amount of time looking, but I found a copy posted to Pinterest that looks like the original and more closely matches Larson’s usual style:

I could imagine wanting to remove the water spray droplets in case they wouldn’t be clearly printed in a black & white newspaper, but I don’t know if the new stuff was ever intended for that and it’s also odd that the cheetah in the porthole was also removed.

When I first got the printer and was learning I used glue sticks to help with adhesion and just got sick of dealing with the residue and reapplying it - so now I intend on never using them at all if possible. I have 2 of the printers, one just for PLA and has a smooth PEI sheet, the other for PETG/TPU and just the regular textured mat that came with it. I usually don’t need to swap between filament types a bunch so when I’ve got some prints that need TPU it only takes a couple minutes to apply the tape and then I can just leave it on for as long as I want and not think about it. I also use the wide blue tape (can’t remember if it’s 2.5 or 3") so it’s only a couple rows to put on.

Not sure if I’ve ever tried without it, but I cover the standard textured mat with blue painter tape for printing 95A TPU on an Ender 3 Pro. It sticks just fine for printing and haven’t had any issues removing the print after.

Best of luck in fighting the charges. Sorry that you/your parents have to deal with it :(

If you’re just going to assign an arbitrary token amount to charge for the food then how will that teach the kids the value of money? And since the kids themselves wouldn’t be the ones actually paying for the meal it’s still a disconnected symbolic gesture unlikely to impart any lifelong lessons. You’re going to be spending more effort and potentially money in tracking and enforcing payments for the meals than what you’re going to recoup by (under)charging for them. How about, since everyone is already paying taxes toward education, we just allocate some of those funds to providing food for every student/child if they are actually intended to be the future productive members and leaders of society?

I would think a better method to teach the value of money is to explain the economies of scale and couple that with showing how much planning and work goes into providing and preparing the “free” meals so they aren’t taken for granted as just being manna from heaven.

What policies does Steam have that warrant inclusion in this privacy list at all, let alone under the “brainwashed” category?

We’re clearly not going to see eye to eye and neither are likely to budge from our current positions. I’m typically going to err on siding with the weaker party in a power disparity so in specific scenarios where someone is behaving like a jackass to polite police it is still preferable to the instances where the police are allowed to maim, kill or restrain someone because they felt like it and not face repercussions. It’s not right, but fast food cashiers deal with verbal (and occasionally other) abuse every day and don’t have a union or sometimes even bosses backing them up, and they generally manage not to use that as an excuse to abuse others so I don’t think it’s unconscionable that the police are minimally held to that expectation.

I’m not going to debate with you anymore about this. If you want to take that as a win or that I don’t have any good responses, feel free. I’m sure you’ve heard most of any arguments I might make from others and are still certain of your stance being the correct one (just as I am with mine). I initially just wanted to highlight that it felt like you were unnecessarily bringing race into this discussion and not in a particularly thoughtful manner.

Have a good one.

Entirely hypothetical situation, but a passerby seeing police mistreat a black suspected drunk driver physically or verbally is an appropriate and useful time to make the point. Even if everything appears above-board, if the cops aren’t doing anything wrong then they shouldn’t be concerned with being reminded to treat others’ lives with respect, right? Part of their job and training revolves around conflict resolution and dealing with frustrating situations. They should be able to handle people shouting things at them.

I’m not trying to get into a lengthy discussion over police abuse or their current role in our society either. But I generally think until their accountability is the norm and not the exception they deserve all the animosity coming their way. If they want to lump everyone into good guys and bad guys without caring about nuance then the same can be done for their group.

I’m also not going to pick apart all the things in your links but I strongly disagree with your recommendations about interacting with the police. You also spend a lot of energy trying to equate fewer headline police abuses with effective and thorough widespread reform.

[This section is more directed at others reading the thread than expecting/inviting a retort]
You flat out do not talk to them in any capacity beyond the hard legal requirements unless you’ve talked to a lawyer or someone educated and qualified enough to give sound legal advice. Your saying things like “don’t refuse to give ID” or “Just talk with them. Tell them what you know, help them figure out the situation.” as a blanket suggestion can potentially be harmful to an entirely unrelated and innocent individual. I wholeheartedly wish this wasn’t the case. I’m an overly honest person and generally believe that telling the truth and providing whatever help you can in a given scenario is the correct course of action - but with the current police and legal situation in the US there’s only the potential to cause harm to you or others if you give them the benefit of doubt and volunteer information. It’s not just for the protection of stoners and crime-adjacent people, “proper upstanding citizens” have found themselves as people of interest in a crime they were either a victim of or unconnected to because they wanted to tell their side or offer what little they know about the event. And playing dumb with ICE has the potential to bite your ass if they decide to try proving you were impeding an investigation by providing false information or downplaying your knowledge; it’s safer to state you’re invoking your right to silence and then say nothing at all.

I’ve had interactions with police where I’ve talked to them and nothing bad has happened to me, but I’m not going to try telling others that’s the smart or correct thing to do. And just because I got an empty chamber doesn’t mean playing Russian Roulette is safe. In this poor analogy it should also be recognized that my game might be different than someone else in that my revolver is aimed at an extremity, while theirs is aimed at their head with more chambers and only one being empty. Instead of talking about tricks to determine if the cylinder landed on a safe spot the more prudent advice is just don’t play the game at all.

interacting with a shoplifter or drunk driver and start bellowing “BLACK LIVES MATTER!”

I’m struggling to see this in a manner that doesn’t read as racism. It shouldn’t be socially unacceptable to insist that black lives matter, particularly towards one of the organizations most prone to abusing them. It’s also telling that those were the example crimes you cited and that, regardless of the accused infraction, that still shouldn’t imply that their lives therefore don’t matter.

And the reason for the mindset that ACAB is because if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be cops. There’s countless examples of “the good ones” being run out departments (or worse), meaning that any remaining are either active participants in corruption and/or abuse, or at least willing to look the other way to it. It doesn’t matter what an individual’s ethics are if they allow themselves to assist others in harmful activities.

The mythical good police should be furious at the reputation their bad members have brought to the profession and be taking loud and decisive steps to reform. But there’s not large numbers of precincts striking (or similar) over the human rights abuses, except for their desire to continue causing them without consequences.

You would be punctilious in assuming that.

What am I missing that indicates this belongs in this community? I don’t see anything showing the purchaser supporting leopards that have now turned against them. Thinking maybe the username was a clue, top DDG results indicate “goucher” might refer to Goucher College in MD, a private liberal arts college.
