Everything you said was correct, except the last sentence. Still pretty sure drinking a gallon of gasoline would be enough to last you your entire life.

That life would just be less than 2-3 weeks.

I've heard from friends who are self employed that this is a double edged sword. When you have an employer and take vacation, it feels like you've earned it and are taking time off at the expense of your employer. But when you're self employed it feels like you're just not getting paid.

One of my friends didn't take any time off for something like 5 years before realizing how incredibly bad that was for him.

Wait, you're not a bot? The way you were posting, I figured you were scraping from Reddit or something. Damn dude!

I could've asked for a Chiefs loss, but that would've been a toe too much to ask for.

Yeah, 3 shots of olive oil and you're dead? That can't be right.

Edit: Yeah it's not right. Here's the source the reddit post didn't link: https://spoonnaturallubricant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/MSDS_Olive_Oil_Grade_A.pdf

Oral: Expected to possess a relatively low degree of acute oral toxicity (LD50 expected to be >2000 mg/kg)

The commenter took that point and used 2000 mg as lethal dose, when the reference material basically said "I dunno, but at it's more than this."

I'm glad Mahomes hasn't been involved in any of the scoring so far. I'm not ready to listen to Collinsworth virtually sucking him off all night.

Why these people giving weapons to their kids after the sheriff first contacted you to investigate school shooting threats your kid made online,

Looks like this thing if someone is looking for a shopping link.

Edit: One of the reviews mentions this is too short for the Steam Deck, so might not be the exact one OP posted a picture of.

The big question: will Trump himself pull the rug as soon as he's legally allowed to?

There's a rule that any question in a headline can be answered "No." This is the rare exception when the answer is "No shit, of course he will."

Is there a term similar to "shrinkflation" when food is made cheaper instead of smaller? in c/[email protected]

Yeah you're right. I stuck to the old askreddit rule of not adding clarifying text and put it in my comment instead. That kind of gets buried though. My bad.

I like that name. Deformulation definitely implies that the change was not made for the benefit of the consumer.

Americans want to rein in Supreme Court justices, poll finds (www.usatoday.com)
 

Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of reforming the Supreme Court along lines proposed by President Joe Biden, even as approval for the high court is marked by a sharp political divide, according to a new USA TODAY-Ipsos election year poll.

A large majority – 76% of Americans – support a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court, according to the poll.

Dry your filament! (sh.itjust.works)
 

I love in Colorado, which is a pretty dry state, so while I had heard of "wet filament", I never considered it to be a problem that I would have to worry about. I had seen people creating dry storage bins for their filament, but figured that must just be for people in humid climates.

When I first bought my 3D printer a few years ago, I did what most people probably do - I bought a 10 pack of different filament colors. Everything printed great for a while, but eventually, my prints just started to kind of suck. I made a few upgrades to my printer, but still couldn't pinpoint what was going on. What was frustrating, is that some times my prints would be great - but other times I couldn't even print the most simple prints without problems.

I eventually noticed that my great prints were from newer filament that I had recently purchased, but my bad prints were coming from spools I've had sitting out for a while. So I purchased a $40 filament dryer on Amazon and it instantly fixed all the problems I'd been having.

I feel dumb, because I had gone through three different extruders, new hot ends, new nozzles, tubing, and spent tons of time cleaning and tightening stuff on my printer. I had left my printer untouched for months because it was just so frustrating. Something as simple as old filament left out never occurred to me until much later.

TLDR; If your prints have started to suck after a while, you might want to try drying your filament.
