I bought a 3D printer, I cant reely say what the moment was that made me change from I know they exist to I want to buy one but I got it in my head to print draw orginization. I am really impressed with the simple plug and play nature of the printing. The 3d Printer itself has impressed me with its design, quality as well with little touches like magnet closing doors or a premium feeling hex tool etc just making it feel like a premium product.

Time will tell if its a fad or a genuine hobby but I am having a blast so far printing a few fun things just to practice (toilet roll sheep) and am now printing some tools that will make the printer a little easier to use (Scraper, plastic poop chute etc).

I wonder where we will be in ten years.


What make and model did you get? I'm considering one at some point.

I got the Bambu P2S.

Everyone I spoke to human and AI told me Bambu was best for a beginner. The a1 made me think if I enjoyed printing I'd regret not getting something better and would kick myself if I upgraded right away. I think p1s is a great option but with the current sale it was 100 dollars difference to step up to the P2S. Almost like they plan this.

It's only been 2 days of actual printing but so far I have made a poop chute, a scraper, toilet roll sheep, some gridfinitiy, a clip for a chips bag,. Super impressed how well it works and how easy it was to get started. I'll play around with more advanced stuff eventually but you could get away with just printing stuff off your phone forever.

Gridfinity is my main use case I think. I think I'm going to like it.


Elegoo Centurion Combo 2 here... wanted an enclosure and air filter, that could do multi-colour. So far very impressed/satisfied. Have printed some tools, stands, far far too many fidget toys. I debate whether i should have gone w one that could do resin too but the price increase made me draw the line. Am dangerously close to doing nothing but Lego minifigures for the next six months.

Y'all ever treat yourself to a new toothbrush before the recommended replacement date of your current toothbrush? What a thrill!

I hate flossing (sticking my hands in my mouth? madness (only my feet belong in there!)) so I got a water flosser. Bit like a bidet for your mouth.

Staying in the bathroom theme....My wife bought a bidet for our master bathroom for Fathers Day and let me just say that it is elite and I wonder how I lived like a heathen for so long without one.

Some say bidets are the 'new toothbrush' of the butthole. I won't go into who says that, exactly, but they're out there.

At least they've replaced the old toothbrush of the butthole, the toilet brush

Maybe now trips to the bathroom can be less traumatic and I can start to walk properly afterwards again
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Yes, the nonce brothers. Doubtful they'll be extradited here to face justice given extradition has to be signed off by a MAGA but we shall see.

For anyone who hasn't watched the video, the reference to his disabled friend makes it pretty clear that he's referring specifically to their use of AI simulations to come up with "grotesque" new possibilities for 3D animated human motion that humans would supposedly never imagine, specifically with human bodies rolling across the floor using their heads like legs. That's what he's calling an insult to life. The implication seems to be that he'd feel the same way even if they weren't using AI.

Granted, he also doesn't look happy when they say they want to create AI that draws like humans do.

What he does say about AI in general is this:

Tell me you don't understand Japanese Cultural mores in social situations without telling me. I assure you he was talking about AI in general.

Good lord man, you know none of us is ever going to agree with you about AI right? Like let a few of these things slide without feeling the need to find a defence.

You'll come around eventually. I have faith in you QT!
