Their body is smaller but a newborn zebra foal's legs are almost as long as an adult's. This is to help them keep up and also to make it harder to spot them among the herd, as lions tend to target the young and infirm.

    Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, two area activists, were not alleged to have belonged to discussion groups where the demonstration was planned. In Batten’s case, prosecutors relied on her black garb as a means to tie her to the conspiracy; in Soto’s, prosecutors argued that her black clothing and her operation of a small printing press that produced anarchist “zines” tied her to the conspiracy. Both received sentences of 50 years on Tuesday.

    Fascism.

    No, I know - I'm just worried that people will read the headline and think it makes you completely immune. It's also based on what is calculated to likely be the most virulent strain of flu each year, but obviously there are many and they mutate. Even with 100% vaccination rates, some flu is going to be going around and some pitchfork-wielding, dribbling idiots will kick off saying that vaccination "doesn't work".

    I'm not coming to Hegseth's defence (sorry, "war") but I've had my flu jab every year for the last 30-something years, and it doesn't prevent you getting flu, it can just make it milder.

    I find that I just don't really know what I'm doing half the time, and find it difficult to find help at a genuinely practical level. It's either total beginner "This is called the terminal" or assumes you already know exactly what you're doing. Like the installation instructions for something I was looking at was literally "usual cmake build" with absolutely zero elaboration what that means. The other thing I don't like is when you look up how to do something and the answers are always "copy and paste this code" without explaining what any of it is or what it does.

    Something else I'm still not at all sure about is where you're supposed to install things. Like at least on Windows I know you just bang everything in "Program files", but now there's bin, etc, home, usr, and whatever else and don't know where you're supposed to actually put things.

    Full brims, mouse ears, with glue, without glue, higher bed temperature, lower bed temperature, flat base, concentric cutout base - whatever I try, I seem to be getting wank adhesion, major warping, and ultimately this shitshow.

    Dry PLA, warm room, no draught, plate cleaned with IPA. I'm going to fucking punch this thing in its stupid fucking face.

    Edit: Prevailing advice very much seems to be to bust out the Fairy liquid and give it a good scrub, so I'll try that. It's a Kobra Neo 2 so is auto-levelling, so I can't piss around with any of that stuff (as far as I know). Another quick question while I think about it, does everyone always print onto the bed at ~60°C? Because Orca Slicer's default for a textured PEI plate is 45°C, which seems mad. I think I tried it once and it was shite so turned it back up to 60.
