    My Toyota has an emergency beep and displays “Warning Roads may be icy.” whenever the temp is below freezing. It never fails to startle me and take my eyes off the road.

    This sound and warning pops up at a random time after you start driving in the winter. There is no way to disable it. You can disable the seatbelt warning.






  • Makes me feel better about not buying Bambu. At the time of their closing off their printers fans claimed it was a technicality in their change to their license and wouldn’t affect anything.

    They’re no longer the best in their price ranges. Under $500 there are several enclosed CoreXY that are better than the A1 and even an Anycubic X that’s has a far more advanced print head over the A1.

    In the under $1000 category the U1 outclasses everything Bambu while being completely open source.

    The “eco system” claim for Bambu is a marketing lie. Any printer lets you download models from any website, including Bambu, and print. Most all printers let you scan the RFID tag on compatible filament to save the time of adding it on the printer’s screen. But other printers like Snapmaker are adding rfid support for all filament brands.

    We didn’t even need to throw a rock. There’s evidence that early man was a persistence hunter.

    All other animals sprint. But man is the only animal that could jog them to death by jogging and never stopping until the animal collapses from exhaustion.





  • It’s this way for everything. It’s not which culture actually discovered something first but which culture had the systems to be remembered.

    Columbus gets the credit for the first European to discover America even though Vikings did it first. Because Vikings didn’t have the educational systems to carry that knowledge into the future.

    Greeks get credit for so much because of their educational systems where knowledge was written and maintained in libraries.
