Bad times with tear gas or other chemicals, heard stories of people getting them stuck with things like acetone vapours alone on top of it probably making it harder to rinse your eyes.

Honestly, people should be preparing with full face respirators that they've practiced using (and they're useful to have around anyhow)

    I half wonder if it's regional, I reserved mine when that went up and mine showed up a few weeks back, it shipped out of the states though so idk.

    If you have a steamdeck, layout is close but it's way more comfortable to use the trackpad. Rear buttons are a lot nicer than the ones of the deck. It feels closer to the oled deck stick wise, I have a lcd one which I swear has way farther travel. I haven't figured out what to do with the grip inputs yet, not super sure how useful they'll be for me to be honest but cool it's there.

    Small things and totally software that I appreciated, noticed that the back buttons are one by default with it, maybe that's across the board now, was a small but appreciated change because I was always having to turn that on. Also like that steam input can ignore trackpad inputs if you're touching the sticks.

    It takes a lot of inspiration from Disco Elysium, which is not subtle at all (and is extremely memorable for it). Having an election be a constant thing that you had to think about was an interesting way to work it into the world imo.

    It's not a secret one at all as I based it on some existing seasonings but I've got a lot of mileage out of

    • coarse ground black pepper
    • salt
    • cayenne pepper
    • dill weed
    • coarse ground coriander seeds
    • garlic powder

    I don't have any smoked paprika right now or I'd toss that in too. Just grind the spices for a few seconds in a mortar and pestle. I'm pretty generous with the cayenne, say this ends up roughly 1:1:1:2-3:0.5:1 ratio, sometimes I add some red pepper flake too. The seasoning this is ripping off uses dill seed instead of dill weed but hey, use what you have right?

    For one, mine would be

    Put a bonfire in Lost IzalithPut a bonfire in Lost Izalith or something like that. Bed of chaos isn't hard I know but on a first play through especially it's a slog to runback. Chaos covenant shortcut is ok but I swear it's still up there in terms of distance.

    Larger change would be do something with the area, I love that you can get glimpses of it from other places but it felt so empty when you finally get there.

    I think your idea for one could make for some interesting runs for sure, for sure some would rush the dlc, but I think it could help flow too by letting you do less back tracking. Relevant to my above, I think I'd totally go that way after Quelaag.

    Yeah I had no idea why that elevator went up to iron keep, even flipping it as like a descent underground or something could be cool too. For me, let me bulk turn in covenant items please, it's just kinda tedious.

    ER - more somber/ancient dragon smithing stones. For me, somber is more of an issue, 14 somber in base plus dlc sounds like a lot, and for most people it probably is, but there's a pile of weapons in the game and sometimes it's fun to experiment. I know you can just roll with the +9 just fine, still would be nice to have an option for more, DS 1 and 2 let you farm max upgrade materials so it's not like it'd be new for the series.

    Data transfer is a mess afaik, big reason I tend to buy my cables in different lengths, if it's long I know it's for charging, short it's for data. Some manufacturers do mark the cable ends with their capabilities (ugreen for sure does this, just checked my power ones are marked 240w and my data a marked 10Gbps), my stuff is mostly older though so I don't have a bunch of different data speeds to worry about.

    I'm with you though, I'll take it over a bunch of different proprietary cables.

    I use both, debian on servers and old machines, arch on my desktop. Arch being rough is way overblown in my experience, the install script makes it straightforward to setup and it's been pretty much painless since I switched to it two years ago, I had experience with debian before that. Both arch and debian have fantastic documentation available.

    Debian and derivatives, in my experience, are really well supported so that's a plus. Age of packages has never really bothered me and cases where I want bleeding edge there's options for that.

    Both are solid options and I don't think you'll be upset either way, if you can I'd try both.

    My partner got me one of these pill popper things (amazon link is the best I could find, sorry) that gets around having to fill it myself. Yeah you have to remember to mark the day but it works well for me, was that or one of those timer lids as there were definitely days I missed doses or weren't sure if I took my meds and didn't want to risk double dosing.

    "Upgraded" my mk3s again

    I did a bear mod of my mk3s a while back and them came across a CoreXY conversion that uses a chunk of the original parts through ProosaXY. I swapped the axis steppers as I would have needed another z motor anyhow. Anything I had to cut down I bought new, but things like rods, bearings, power supply and bed are reused. I had a chunk of my mods done a few months back, just didn't have a chance to do assembly until the holidays.

    Made some mods for my my setup, I like to try keeping similar parts & setups for my printers to make spares and servicing easier, so made a carriage that could accommodate a voron tap carriage w/ a canbus board on the extruder, lose a bit of print space but I'm fine with the tradeoff.

    Also did up a tophat and panels, they're partly printed, partly cut from hdpe & wrapped with aluminum tape, was trying to vaguely emulate the look of my aluminum composite panels on my v2. I had space to add some basic insulation so did that. I did up a door using the frame from the mk3s as the front and hardware from the ClickyClack Door. I still need to tune it and setup slicer profiles, some of the panel clips are mismatched as I used what I had on hand, will swap for all black or orange ones later. Power supply needs a better mount, but will work for now.

    Apologies as the pictures aren't great, took them last night when I was doing a (really rough) fast benchy as a first print.

    Experts say that Hudson's Bay had been in decline long before then, some tracing its issues back to its 2008 acquisition by the American investment firm NRDC Equity Partners, and saying that the company's new ownership prioritized its real estate over a cohesive retail strategy.

    Emphasis mine.

     

    Figured I'd contribute with resources I've used and found really solid, not everything is made in Canada but all are Canadian businesses with fantastic customer service.

    Filament

    • Matter3D Langford BC based manufacturer, they make some solid quality filament and promote themselves as engineering grade material. Their abs has low odor, petg prints really well, haven't tried their nylon yet but I have a few spools to work with. Their prices are extremely reasonable and they have regular sales, my go to supplier

    Parts, kits, etc.

    • Spool3D Calgary AB based store, Canada wide through canpost for free over $140. I live in Ontario, but most of my purchases are from them, solid selection of material, parts and accessories. My voron was sourced with parts 90% from here, they also have solid filament, sell garolite sheets too for a build surface (trying to move away from using builtak, they're a solid product but I won't be buying American for the foreseeable future)
    • 3d lab tech another in Calgary, the other 10% of my voron came from here. Lots of kits and high quality parts, highly recommend, extremely responsive too and they constantly have new, interesting stuff.
    • Sparta 3D Brampton Ontario based, again, lots of kits and high quality parts, have quality filter carbon as well if you're looking for a good Canadian supplier of acid-free material. They have filament as well, haven't had an opportunity to use it yet however.
    • Makerparts they're moving so unfortunately site looks to be closed for now, BC based, they're all sorts of maker related stuff, not just printing. I bought a bear mod kit for my prusa from them, again, solid product and great to work with.
     

    The intent, Carney said during an interview on Rosemary Barton Live, is to invest in Canada's economy "at a time when we absolutely have to build as a country."

    The taxpayer dollars would "catalyze many multiples of private dollars" to build homes, energy infrastructure, AI systems and trade corridors — "all of which are fundamentally necessary if we are going to grow this economy, irrespective of how President Trump is feeling on one day or another," Carney said.

    Carney also said a federal government led by him would balance its operational spending — such as government-run programs, federal transfers to provinces and territories and debt service charges — over the course of the next three years.

     

    Paper mentioned in article can be found here.

    Annealing prints has been something I've wanting to do more of, probably with proper temperature control as my experience has has more waste than I'd like, mainly warping.

    Paper claims some pretty dramatic improvements to interlayer strength, they're running filament through a bath before entering the extruder, not sure how accessible the entire thing would be in a hobbyist environment (using chloroform and specialised microwave equipment). Makes me wonder however if carbon fibre filaments would be able to be processed similarly, how well it'd perform with stuff like abs or nylon and if you could achieve that with consumer microwaves.
