Download TTS Server, and change the engine in Readera to use it. Use the Microsoft Azure settings in TTS, much more realistic. Little slow though is my only complaint as it sends/receives a paragraph at time, resulting in a pause now and again.

I’ll wait for the more trustworthy source, the Peoples Republic of China (yeah, still more reputable)

We just pulled stupid pranks, like setting a repeating function with sound at the highest frequency in BASIC and locking the machines… on all the computers.

I searched and the first time ever received a message about tiktok protection, etc. They are censoring apparently.

So I am someone who used to get defensive when I was wrong about something, until I heard a great trick. Think of being corrected as knowing the truth, then spin it in your head that now that you know the truth you are now right. It’s selfish as hell, but it works for me. Less defensiveness, less arguing, better mentality.

So he clearly shows he knows next to nothing butwhat he’s been shovel fed. He’s using trans in a verb form, which shows his ignorance very clearly. Maybe if he learned more or met some trans individuals (you see, it’s an adjective in this sentence), he might understand more. But empathy is a sin, so can’t do that. That Bible he knows 4 words from says so, he was told it said that, along with hating homosexuals and immigrants… jfc, I’m so sick of blatant stupidity. I can forgive ignorance, but wanton idiocy just flabbergasts me. We as humans crave knowledge and are by nature curious. Why some people are content to just sit like automatons and refuse to learn anything I just cannot comprehend.

I see it more as a muddy hill. Only in the US some people have now shat upon that hill with the greasiest, nastiest shit so the slide is even worse on this length.

Bought a Brother during the pandemic when they were hard to get. I shelled out $500 on an office machine and I’ve spent probably $100 in 3rd party toner in 5 years. No regrets.

I’d agree with you if it weren’t for herd immunity and immuno compromised people. It’s like allowing people to drive cars with old, dry, tnt bombs if they feel like it, they’re not the only ones who will get hurt for doing something stupid.

I have an old Ender 3, that rarely turns on, then my Bambu P1s decided to fight dirty one day and the whole damn hotend broke off. Like they glue it up in there or something and I had to buy a replacement… 3 days of torture waiting on that damn thing. But the thing rarely fucks up a print (when pieces don’t fall off), even if I do weird shit like leave supports off and bridge a gap like 4 inches (ok, so inside was thready as fuck, but outside was great, and at 4mm thick and it was for my DWV pipe converted chicken feeder I don’t give af)

For a work machine with a lot of text and little graphics, this is great. Less eye strain for long periods.

Generally they lay steel plates at certain preprogrammed intervals to place in windows. A worker sits on standby while it pauses a few seconds to just place the part. Not a difficult feat. Just laziness or frugalness on the construction.

From a 3d print perspective - holy shit the extrusion is way off. Extra splooge on the corners, layer lines are shit. I’d trash it and recalibrate. Even concrete prints can look better.

I almost beat Sewer Shark. I was made for this!

Plinkers are so much fun. Great to practice with, no recoil, and not very loud. I suggest people have a .22 and a shotgun (for defense and to get a feeling for how to deal with recoil and sound without flinching). 20g can be affordable, too. 12g gets a little costly and can be a little too rough for those not prepared for them.

Point open end towards the thing you’re shooting, press stock into armpit. Insert loaded magazine, pull back bolt, turn off safety, squeeze trigger. If automatic, squeeze trigger again, repeat. You can also find indoor ranges that will have classes usually. Most will have limits on calibers allowed though. Outdoor ranges usually have no limits (or do but aren’t monitored).

Taking notes… become a methhead. Got it. But how can I eat without teeth?

I have lots of cameras. Some hidden. I have all kinds of evidence. Best things be done according to the law on my premises. The Constitutional law, not the flippant ravings done on a whim just to test the actual laws put in place for 200 years.

Wow I barely remember that show as a kid. I think it actually helped my dad with his bigotry and interracial marriages though.

I think, therefore I am.
