No reading required when major decisions are dictated by your Russian handler!

(Yeah, I hate coming off like a conspiracy theorist, but *everything* this administration has done is too perfectly in line with a plan to destroy a country from within.)

@jscalzi
Baffling indeed.

In most cases I don’t really notice the POV much. (Assuming it’s done well.)

What immediately comes to mind is that people who skip books because they are written in a specific POV will miss out on some great books!

The list of things I’d do before watching that entity speak would stretch from here to the moon.

Yeah, just a 0.4 mm nozzle.

I’m a pretty casual 3D printer enthusiast. Usually larger stuff either more cosmetic (toys for kids), cases for electronics projects, or stuff for board games.

First time I have needed fine precision in a print. 😊

One of these days I may dig deeper— I will keep your thoughts about smaller nozzles in mind!

@leoncowle
Hmm, interesting! I love libraries, but since I also love collecting the books I read, I don't use them much these days.

I tend to think of them as just sources of books. Fascinating if some of them also have 3D printers!

I wound up ordering gears on eBay. Reasonably price, printed on a much better printer.

Will definitely keep the library idea in mind for the future!

Well, now I have a better idea of just how detailed an item my 3D printer can print.

Old (30+ years) Mac floppy drives have a tiny eject mechanism gear that becomes brittle. You can find a design for this gear that allows printing them.

My resulting gear was way too low-resolution for a gear this size, sigh.

Time to buy one.

@PerryM Thanks, but I am merely boosting another’s brilliance. 😊
