Convention is different everywhere, $ value and value $ are both seen in Canada for example, former being more common in English, latter in French

Like . vs , for decimal notation, people are going to use what they’re familiar with.

Bit of a, bit of b, thermal protection on printers sets a minimum hotend and bed temperature, it’s configurable but 0c is pretty common. Drop below that and the firmware will trip an emergency shutdown in klipper, some (mk3s) set off an alarm beeper when that happens.

Higher ambient helps with chamber temps too depending on what you print. I let my printers heat soak for at least an hour before I print anyhow, the space heater gives some stability in ambient temps.

Also done prints where I’ve just blasted the hotend and build plate with a heatgun to get above the min temps to be able to get a heat soak going. Vorons have a decently powerful bed heater (~600w if I recall), my mk3s isn’t nearly as powerful but still capable of sustaining itself (would definitely benefit from insulation)

His daughter is a year younger than me, I definitely recall the Flintstones and Jetsons growing up, definitely recall watching The Jetsons Meet the Flinstones on tape a bunch when I was like 5, that came out a few years before I was born.

There was also that live action one with Rick Moranis, John Goodman and Rosie O’Donnell in 94, would have been somewhat relevant.

I swear I recall a “big picture mode” config in steam in the past but can’t seem to find that at all now either, sorry I don’t have an answer for you.

I don’t live in the coldest place but it’ll hit -20s c at the coldest in the winter with -10 +/-5, summer is 30 +/-5. My garage isn’t climate controlled but not the largest, a space heater is enough to bring ambient up enough to be comfortable, certainly enough where the printer firmware doesn’t kick out on low temperatures.

I have enclosures so it helps some, mk3s doesn’t get super warm as it’s currently setup but I do regularly successfully print abs on it, petg and pla aren’t an issue at all, voron gets substantially warmer. Summer, enclosures need to be open to print pla depending how hot it is. Even with all that, I’d recommend it, I do it primarily for air quality reasons, I’ve printed abs indoors without an enclosure in the same room exactly once a long time ago, 0/10 don’t recommend.

My brain still thinks 30-35 million so all good, was thinking you might be meaning a dissident number as I was writing anyhow, meshes pretty well with that Angus Reid poll about joining the states.

Statscan has the estimate at ~41.5 million as of the end of last year.

I worked in primary metals for a while, core business applications still ran on mainframes, they had a project to move some of them to SAP that apparently had the same timelines as nuclear fusion (perpetually x years away).

Paper is a edtech company that has a bunch of contracts with school boards for tutoring. They fired AFAIK all of their Canadian tutors last year, coincidentally after they had unionised in both Ontario and Québec. Not sure if they still are getting public funding but may be worth adding to your questions.

Stuff that’s in use I try to keep inside the enclosure, no humidity control in my garage so at the whims of humid continental climate, gets nasty in the summer. I keep things vac sealed with silca gel for long periods and print from dry boxes or enclosure mounts to take advantage of the lower humidity while printing.

Working on a powered dry box using solid state dehumidifiers like used in this, hope that’ll help with humidity issues.

Some filament isn’t super sensitive, my experience pa6>petg>abs=pla.

What are y’all doing that you need to troubleshoot constantly? My experience with arch is about the same as my experience with Debian.

Morrowind (OpenMW) with Just good Morrowind it’s been a long time since I’ve done a full playthrough.

I 50/50 helix at work, already my go to at home (though I still have codium for some stuff, don’t use it nearly as much.

Same boat, has taken years of therapy as part of my treatment plan to start working through those learned behaviours.

ADHD sucks ass.

Thanks for that, Bugdom also looks familiar!

That was our thoughts too, they didn’t learn shit and that scene was viscerally uncomfortable.

Quick look, found a place that offers some They’re not cheap but you can definitely get them.

Not sure, they mention though that it’s Canadian businesses, policy makers and organised labour involved, Press Release from the PM’s office, looks to be more or leas Canadian driven.

Probably, it’s not pleasant stuff afaik, was looking at it earlier and it seemed like you could probably source it domestically fairly easily too, didn’t seem like you’d need special licenses or anything. Not stuff I want to keep around though, not that a lot of solvents that work on thermoplastics are nice to be around for one reason or another.

Mine had a bunch of iMac g3s, eMacs came toward grade 8.

Games weren’t explicitly forbidden, just needed to finish work first, new Cross Country Canada, math circus and Oregon trail were the games I recall the most of. There was this one game though I can’t recall the name of but the concept was interesting, you played as a time travelling velociraptor and had to save dinosaur eggs from extinction, was like a 3rd person shooter, I have no idea why that was on school computers

Edit: was Nanosaur

In the distant year of 4122, a dinosaur species, Nanosaurs, rule the Earth. Their civilization originated from a group of human scientists who experimented with genetic engineering. Their experimentation led them to resurrect the extinct dinosaur species; however, their victory was short-lived, as a disastrous plague brought the end of their civilization itself. The few dinosaurs resurrected were lent an unusual amount of intelligence from their human creators, leaving them to expand on their growing civilization. However, as the Nanosaurs were the only species on Earth, inbreeding was the only possible choice of reproduction. This method largely affected the intelligence of the various offspring, and slowly began to pose a threat to their once-intelligent society.

The Nanosaur government offers a quest that involves time traveling into the year 65 million BC, where the five eggs of ancient dinosaur species must be retrieved and placed in a time portal leading to the present year. Their high-ranking agent, a brown Deinonychus Nanosaur, is chosen to participate in this mission. On the day of her mission, she is teleported to the past via a time machine in a Nanosaur laboratory.
