  • I don’t sell printers. Just fix them. Price depends on machine make/model and what I commonly find wrong with them; but I usually charge a $100 flat fee + parts. I’ve done remote chats and helped people fix their own printers too.

    Most fixes come down to the owners inability to see the forest for the trees type of situation – They’ll hyper-fixate on “leveling” when their extrusion system is having problems. Ender 3’s are my bread and butter, because they are really cheap, and that cheapness comes with a cost: the need for knowledge. The v3’s are especially good, and the older ones are fine if you know how to tighten a bolt here-or-there.

    Bambu Labs machines are the best for an end-user, hands down - but as an enthusiast I refuse to own one. Pragmatically speaking though, most users aren’t going to care much.




  • My first machine was a Sells Mendel back in 2010. Literally didn’t have a machine; but had a friend with one he couldn’t get to work. The deal was: I get it to work, and I could print my machine’s parts with it. I got it to work, and now I also get everyone else’s printers working too :)

    The video specifically says pure N2, Nitrogen. This isn’t Nitrous (N02). They’re just calling it “Nitro” because that’s how the coffee shops advertise it. Nitrogen contains the word “Nitro” in it, it sounds cool, so Nitrogen-coffee is labeled as “Nitro-Coffee”. Nobody is saying to use Nitrous…I don’t understand why you keep going back to that.

    Cold Brew > Pour over - also, a TINY pinch of salt will correct a poorly made bitter-batch of cheap coffee. (I know, it sounds like the stupidest thing in the world, because I also thought the same thing before I did it)

    Heat pulls tannins out of the beans which is where the bitter flavor comes from. If you brew the beans cold, for 24hrs ahead of time, you get a lot more of the nutty tones of the bean, and a much less harsh coffee. Bonus if you like cold coffee too, because you just throw ice and a splash of milk in it.



  • Do program. But ARK: Survival Ascended, and the studio behind it - Wildcard - Are absolutely the most atrocious group of people to have ever graced gaming.

    They set release dates, and not once in nearly 10 years have they ever hit a target - and not by like days or something, sometimes years. They planned a map release a year ago, and have pushed back its release date like 6x now. They adjust 1 thing only to have 5 other things break. They constantly blame their playerbase. Some of their modding community are better as 1-man-teams than their entire staff seem to be at UE5 development. I’ve seen single people release maps and content that rival Wildcard’s entire production team.

    Either there’s a LOT of nepotism going on, or they’re plain incompetent. And I greatly subscribe to the idea of “Never attribute to malice, what could easily be explained by stupidity”. Because never once have they actually been malicious. They care for their game and community, but holy shit are they god-awful at it.
