  • Nice! I’ve considered a Voron, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to dedicate that much time to the printer as opposed to the printing. (I feel like I got my fill of excessive tinkering already 😅)

    But the closed nature of Bambu does bother me, I’ll admit.

  • As someone who replaced his Maker Select Plus with a Bambu Lab P1S a few months ago…if you do get a new printer, be prepared to be angry for a moment.

    I spent so much time and effort improving that thing over the years, and the modern printer was so much better right out of the box. 😅

    (Not that I don’t still have a fond place in my heart for my old bedslinger. A friend has it now, so it’s still chugging along.)

  • That whole part of the episode bothered me. Walk-in doors are fail-safe, not fail-secure. If the handle is broken, you can still open it from inside.

    (But as a story mechanic it was 👨‍🍳💋, so I can forgive it. Artistic liberty and all that.)

  • My degrees are in music

    Sometimes I wish I had better training. I grew up on Suzuki violin, but I never really studied theory. I survive on talent rather than skill, and am very thankful for the skill of those around me!

    People think singers aren’t good musicians as a rule and that’s total garbage.

    It is wild to me the way some of the orchestral musicians treat the chorus. Most of them are friendly and complimentary, but some of them sure seem to think we’re beneath them. Could just be that they’re not very socially adept, I suppose.

    We sing some really difficult stuff as a chorus and you have to know what your note sounds like before you sing it; you can’t rely on just knowing the fingering for your instrument.

    And this can be so terrifying for some entrances!

    It’s so much fun but also a great mental challenge. I’m thankful to have it in my life as my intellectual musical outlet.

    I agree 100%.

  • Sure they can. No doubt. But this one isn’t worth being upset about. Especially since being upset about it only benefits American Eagle. I can’t remember the last time I thought about that brand. Now it’s all over headlines. Controversy gets attention.

    It also distracts the MAGA sheep from what’s important. Now they can forget about the uncomfortable cognitive dissonance re: Epstein and get back to the very comfortable “mocking leftists for overreacting.”

    Just ignore it. It’s manufactured outrage.

  • Not an issue for us (Ford Escape), the heat and AC can both run off the battery, but the heat does cost a bit of range (along with chemical inefficiency at cold temperature), so range is significantly better in the summer than the winter.

  • My sister was in a local youth chorus when I came home from college, and told me about the adult version. I found out when auditions were, tried out, got in, and have been loving it ever since!

    I had sung in church choirs growing up, but now regret very much not singing during high school and college. A lot of my fellow choir people have great memories of singing in school choirs.

    Turns out choirs are a great way to meet a significant other. Other than my wife and I, there are several married couples who met in this chorus (including a couple of married men)! As I tell guys looking to meet people: if you can carry a tune, have a vague understanding of music notation, and live near a medium or large city, you can probably find a volunteer choir. There are a lot of them, they always need people (especially tenors and basses), and are often full of very intelligent and interesting women, some of whom are probably single. 😂

  • I’m a semi-professional choral singer! I very frequently sing on a volunteer basis in a symphony chorus with a professional orchestra. And also sing with a smaller 12-person choir, really tight harmonies and blending. It’s a lot of fun.

    Sometimes I get paid, but that’s rare.

    I’ve gotten to sing some pretty awesome stuff (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, video game concerts, Verdi’s Requiem, etc. etc. etc.) and gotten to meet some pretty cool people (including my wife)!
