Ah, so the object slides a very little bit, causing printed filament to be in a spot where there should be none yet, which produces a tiny hill that might even slide another quarter a millimetre and gather even more filament on top of it, at which point the object to be printed touches the extruder?

I’d assumeits biodegradation takes 5 years instead of something like 10 000 years of conventional plastics

This lead me to wondering: Do the Fahrenheit people talk about sub-zero as well?!

I had never thought of that possibility. 0 degrees is just generally cold, but -17,778 degrees is already in the area of “seriously cold”.

Klarna can also be used for payments directly from your bank account. They probably didn’t have another platform for handling that internationally. Much nicer than using a bank card for the payment!

(Well, okay: That site has elected to disable that feature. I tried choosing Helsinki, Finland as delivery location and payment by Klarna, and all I got was this:

Kiitos kun harkitsit Klarnaa

Arvostamme kiinnostustasi fiksumpaa maksutapaa kohtaan. Valitettavasti joustavat maksuvaihtoehtomme eivät ole juuri nyt saatavilla tällä alueella tai tälle valuutalle.

Tiedämme, ettei tämä ole paras mahdollinen tilanne, mutta toivomme pian tarjoavamme maksuvaihtoehtojamme useammissa paikoissa.

So, they don’t want to use Klarna for what would actually be a fair and sensible thing, only for the bad stuff. Heh.)

Why does this work?

Or, more precisely: Why does the dirty plate cause this balling-up?

If there’s any risk you might lose something you’ve printed while outside, it’s very good if the material is biodegradable!

When trying out mbin it worked out best for me to write the community’s full name (such as hitchhiking@sopuli.xyz) in mbin’s search bar. For some reason writing it on the URL bar didn’t work like it does elsewhere.

Drop the u and o away from between and you’ve got it :)

I sometimes see people saying “pronounce it like it’s the name of a Greek philosopher” or “pronounce it as if it was Spanish”.

There’s a “p”, a “w”, an “n”, an “e” and a “d”. Say those in a row. “As if it was Spanish”, to make sure that e is really e and not i.

As it’s written. Pwned. No need to stick an extra “o” or “a” or any other vowel in between.

It says “pwned”, so “pwned” it is.

It hurts me that y isn’t th like it was in the past, or that x is not sh like it is in in Portuguese and Chinese. Why did they reverse those two in the otherwise excellent proposition?! :(

Withholding that amount of resources from others when you have no need for them yourself is a political position.

You also have to take rather extreme measures in order to become a billionaire.

Hm, yeah. Metallica does kind of sound like Beyonce, when you give it a thought! :)

The same has happened in something like 25 % of countries, and they haven’t gotten sanctioned for that.
Most of our diamonds and cobalt and cocoa come from countries that have similar problems as USA now does.

And you sometimes pick one dandelion too many and forget how to walk faster than 3 km/h.

There’s the thing known as white passport, officially “Certificate of identity” or semi-officially “Alien’s passport”. That’s a document that looks just like a passport of a country but has a white cover instead of red, black, green or blue. It means that the country that has issued the white passport proves that the person is who they say they are, and it also tends to mean that that person has a right to reside in that country. It’s much more difficult to travel abroad with a white passport than with an actual passport, but it gets you started. Then, after living somewhere long enough, you can get a new citizenship and get on with your life at last.

One thing that can be difficult is that to get some other citizenship, many countries require you to get rid of our previous ones first. For example in the Russia you can get rid of your citizenship only by travelling to the Russia and doing all the paperwork there. Which takes about two months. During which time they’ll send you to the front and you’ll die. It depends on the mood of the worker whether you can get a white passport in such a case or not.

You’re not stateless if you are a citizen of a country. The country you are a citizen of refusing to fulfill its duties doesn’t make you stateless yet.

To be fair, most of Russian dissidents are angry about how the war is fought.

They would have wanted Ukraine to be taken over in a way that doesn’t spill Russians’ blood.

There are people in the Russia that are really against the whole war and want to see all of Ukraine’s territory liberated, but those are not many! I would estimate their number is somewhere between 100 and a bit over 1000 individuals. Among 140 million.

A good way to figure this is asking “who does Crimea belong to?”
Everyone who is really a dissident will say “Ukraine”, because in reality the case is crystal clear. Everybody who moved there knew it’s not part of the Russia in the same manner as other regions where the white-blue-red flag is waved. And yet they elected to move there. It’s a sad thing they’ll need to move away, yes, but they knew or at least had the responsibility to know what they are doing. And this is what Russian dissidents (both of them…) think.
But almost all “dissidents” will say “it’s complicated” or something similar. That’s how you know a person protesting against how the war is done.

And let me say: it is statistically extremely unlikely that the deported ones were among those 0,00071 % of the Russia’s population that are real dissidents.

This gives me strong !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works vibes. But still a different theme, as meanwhileongrad is concentrated on tankie madness and this is more of a generic “you speak bad about people supporting some form of totalitarianism -> we dislike you”.

It’s also sad that it doesn’t suprise me something like this comes from .world.
