There's also a few plugins for Cura with variations on the name TabAntiWarping. I've had https://github.com/5axes/TabAntiWarping installed forever but I'm not sure if I've ever actually used it in a print. I just took a quick look and there's a couple others listed in the marketplace now too.

It's weird that this looks like an edited picture to bypass dupe detection yet it's from the actual Far Side website.

The bottom-left boards of the ship and water touching it have clearly had changes made. Also the three portholes in the middle. And in the sky at the top there's some writing that's mostly been brushed out.

I didn't spend a tremendous amount of time looking, but I found a copy posted to Pinterest that looks like the original and more closely matches Larson's usual style:

I could imagine wanting to remove the water spray droplets in case they wouldn't be clearly printed in a black & white newspaper, but I don't know if the new stuff was ever intended for that and it's also odd that the cheetah in the porthole was also removed.

When I first got the printer and was learning I used glue sticks to help with adhesion and just got sick of dealing with the residue and reapplying it - so now I intend on never using them at all if possible. I have 2 of the printers, one just for PLA and has a smooth PEI sheet, the other for PETG/TPU and just the regular textured mat that came with it. I usually don't need to swap between filament types a bunch so when I've got some prints that need TPU it only takes a couple minutes to apply the tape and then I can just leave it on for as long as I want and not think about it. I also use the wide blue tape (can't remember if it's 2.5 or 3") so it's only a couple rows to put on.

Not sure if I've ever tried without it, but I cover the standard textured mat with blue painter tape for printing 95A TPU on an Ender 3 Pro. It sticks just fine for printing and haven't had any issues removing the print after.

Rated A+ by BBB, 1.05/5 stars average over 1,082 customer reviews.

Definitely inspires faith in their ability to accurately rate a company.

Best of luck in fighting the charges. Sorry that you/your parents have to deal with it :(

If you're just going to assign an arbitrary token amount to charge for the food then how will that teach the kids the value of money? And since the kids themselves wouldn't be the ones actually paying for the meal it's still a disconnected symbolic gesture unlikely to impart any lifelong lessons. You're going to be spending more effort and potentially money in tracking and enforcing payments for the meals than what you're going to recoup by (under)charging for them. How about, since everyone is already paying taxes toward education, we just allocate some of those funds to providing food for every student/child if they are actually intended to be the future productive members and leaders of society?

I would think a better method to teach the value of money is to explain the economies of scale and couple that with showing how much planning and work goes into providing and preparing the "free" meals so they aren't taken for granted as just being manna from heaven.

That's one hell of a URL.

What policies does Steam have that warrant inclusion in this privacy list at all, let alone under the "brainwashed" category?

Saved this comment from somewhere, probably Reddit:


I've actually been using the cars analogy for a couple months now and I think it's very fitting. Imagine if you were a mechanic who owned an auto shop and your average customer call went something like this:

Customer: My car isn't working and I need you to fix it immediately, this is an emergency
Mechanic: Alright sir what seems to be the problem?
Customer: I don't know, I tried to use my car on friday and it didn't work, now it's monday and I need to get to work and I can't and this needs to be fixed right now.
Mechanic: Can you start the car? Can you even get into your car? Does it make any sounds when you try to start it? Are all 4 tires there?
Customer: I don't know, I don't know what any of that stuff means, I tried to get to work and it wouldn't let me and you need to fix it now because you changed my oil 6 months ago.
Mechanic: Alright well what kind of car are you driving?
Customer: I don't know, a green one, why does that matter?
Mechanic: Please take a look at the back of your car and see if there are any letters or numbers that would indicate a vehicle model or manufacturer
Customer: Ok, my car is a SV2 87K.
Mechanic: No sir that's your license plate. My records indicate that you drive a Nissan Altima, can you confirm that the key you're using to try and get into this car says Nissan on it?
Customer: My key says Lexus but I don't see how that makes a difference, I've been using this key on this car for years and it's always worked, what did you do to my car?
