I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

I’m not sure exactly what model but it’s a 4k 75in hisense running Android from like 5 years ago

Personally I just setup a PC as a NAS‡ and installed VLC on my TV so that I can just browse the NAS and play the files directly

Is it efficient? No.

Is it the best way? Also no.

Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well in fact.

‡ The first time was simply a network shared folder, the second time was using TrueNAS.

Recent events with streaming services has really been the best argument for self hosting your own content

Last night?

A mixture of shitposts and inspirational videos in the group chat

Last session?

They lit a vinyard/distillery on fire to deal with the undead thriving within. They forgot to secure their path to exit before starting the fire. They barely made it out the gate before the storage tanks blew up. And by “barely made it out” I mean the Barbarian got caught by the blast.

He slammed the basement door closed to prevent the blast from hitting the survivors they they found and rescued. The shock wave knocked everyone prone, except the Barbarian who was launched while still holding the door.

So everyone was fine, the Barbarian even had a hit point left… Until he landed.

One of the party members is also infected with Blue Rot though, he hasn’t figure it out yet.

Literally I’ve only ever seen 1 as litter in my neck of the woods and it was totalled when I found it

It’s been years since those things were normalized how have I only seen 1‽

I mean good job folks but damn

I wish you the best of luck, it took me years to get the right diagnosis and then about 7 months to get the appointment with a doc to prescribe me some meds.

Hopefully your journey is smoother than mine was.

Before I was diagnosed?

Poorly, very poorly lol

It literally felt like I was try to fill a bucket with sand and the only shovel I had was a sieve.

I’d literally have to wake up 5-6 hours before I had to be anywhere just to make sure I could finish my breakfast and coffee before leaving. And then I’d still more often than not finish eating or drinking my coffee in the car on the way.

I feel you on the “Having to stop a med because of the side effects,” before I was diagnosed with ADHD I was diagnosed with anxiety and I tried about a dozen different meds for it ovwr the years before calling that off and just going unmedicated. Funnily enough after my ADHD diagnosis and getting on the meds I am now (Straterra) I’ve only had 1 panic attack in the last year vs one a week or so. And I’m able to start and finish tasks. It’s fucking witchcraft.

I’m not seeing any recent activity mod activity towards me, and the comments still seem to be there from my alts.

It’s odd that it looks deleted for you

It’s commonly prescribed for ADHD, my doctor wanted to try non-stimulant based meds first because of my extensive history of substance abuse and also because of my diagnosis with anxiety and PTSD.

It’s worked pretty great for me so far.

For me Straterra lasts about 10-12 hours which is just about perfect. Unfortunately though for me the longer I take it the shorter that time slot becomes until I up the dosage again.

I’ve been taking it for about 18 months and it’s down to just about 8 hours for me now and for those 8 it’s still okay on effectiveness though I feel it could be a bit higher.

Basically when I up my dosage it works great for awhile then kinda starts winding down a bit.

The 0.2mm nozzle has less material flowing through it than the 0.4mm

You can only force so much material through it before your nozzle before the extruder starts skipping

Think of a garden hose, the 0.4 mm nozzle is the hose flow unobstructed. When you put the finer nozzle on the hotend it’s like putting your finger over the end, the pressure behind the nozzle goes up.

Try printing at the same speed as the 0.4mm nozzle (this is what I do) and make sure that your slicer is properly configured for your new nozzle and it should adjust the flow so that it doesn’t chew the filament to bits in the extruder.

Also 0.2mm nozzles will clog a lot easier than a 0.4mm nozzle due to the smaller opening so you need to be pickier about filament.

You say you think you’re having heatcreep issues, what exactly are the issues you’re having?

That’s the dream really, for me currently I sometimes find myself getting an hour or 2 of OT at the end of my shift. Which blows.

Don’t get me wrong I’m going to try to bend my schedule some more again soon so that maybe I could start aiming to get up by 5 am again as that was pretty damn nice when that was an option.

Getting up for work about 4ish hours before the shift starts is bliss

Edit: By getting OT at the end of my shift I mean I usually find out I’m getting literally as I’m trying to leave. It blows.

That’s the spirit

Honestly it can be pretty hard to do that depending on your schedule, though it’s pretty nice when it works out

No worries

And likewise on the growing up without central air, it took a long time to break the habit of everything going in the fridge (or at times the cooler)

I don’t miss the days of chopping firewood to get hot water.

I do have to say though that the novelty of running water on tap still makes me smile.

Depending on your meds in the fridge might be a bad call (though much better than the medicine cabinet)

Be sure to check the safe storage temps for your meds before you pick a spot

Considering making votes public, not considering making mod actions inform the user they occur.

I can see where their priorities are.

Making votes something mods can see is one thing but public is whole other can of worms.

Edit: Spleling

I’m somehow more confused than before I read your comment.

Likewise, it’s been hella toasty lately and being the top floor apartment and only being allowed to use portable ACs at my place means that I’ve been slowly cooking alive.

By bedroom has routinely been getting as high as 90F
