I know i'm old, i just found a new hobby: messing woth the younger generation by messing with their slang.

You know, like how grandpa called every pokeman pikachu...but on purpose.

I work with a couple guys that basically aim to do as little as possible in as much time as possible.

I'm a millenial and it seems i've become a boomer, telling these guys to stop building cardboard towers as everyone notices and will tell their supervisor. Then they get angry with me for some weird ass reason while they just spent 3 days doing one hour worth of work.

Our supervisor wants me to get them to work better, but it's 4 of them and one of me.

I understand the mindset that it's the employers task to supply you with work, but there's plenty y'all just refuse to pick it up and get at it.

This reminds me of the blackberry ping days, everyone and their mom acting like a diva for having a sidekick blackberry just to use ping.

Those were better days financially.

I'd give them a call: "i don't mind these changes for 65% of the previous fee, unless you want me to cancel right here right now".

See if they are willing to compensate, if not just cancel and yarr matey.

It's just entertainment in the end, nothing we can't live without or have loads of replacements available.

A digital upbringing it seems. Self taught, doomscrolling with no one around who loves them enough to tell them they are slipping away into darkness.

Oh man, i've never been able to get over the: "i really want to play a game now that i have 30 minutes to spare and some energy left" ah fuck, 60gb update...fine i'm off to bed then.

Can't imagine what i would do if a car update would come with the worst possible timing like having to take your partner to the hospital for an emergency.

Good one, it hits hard

I worked at Albert Heijn in my teens and they stopped selling coca cola as they couldn't agree on a price.

Cola wanted to increase the consumer price to €1,35 for 1.5 liter bottles.

It took quite some time before the store had coca cola in stock.

I bought a bottle a couple weeks ago as we had some friends over and i laughed so hard out of misery. That same fucking bottle now costs €2,49 at Albert Heijn.

Store brand is 89 cents, which is what we used to pay for original cola .5 liter bottles.

Guys, it's just water with a bit of flavouring in it. We should all just collectively stop buying these famous brands and watch them burn. Lol

My printers do this from time to time where they just ignore everything i did tl make them work and start using factory values.

It always pisses me off but usually once i find which setting it is i put it to what it needs to be and it's done.

It's been 3 days of me giving my printer new e step values with zero result.

At first i adjusted the start gcode in cura but now i'm also using an empty print file with settings and it has no effect.

I have a 30:1 extruder and the values i used so far go from 92 all the way up to 33.000, it actually extruded more at 92 then it did at 33k. The extruded amount seems to be random compared to the e steps i put in, i don't really know what is happening.

I checked the extruder gears and they look brand new.

It doesn't say anything for me, it's an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it's called.

Yeah, you got me. But i don't know what gen z is doing and don't feel like talking down about them for whatever reason. I miss my spiked punk hairstyle, the teased mohawk i rocked and the half covered face emo hair. all of the weird stuff was so much fun.

Ayy, someone gets it. The AI is basically going: "fuck yo dreams of being an artist".

It has a serious case of ghosting/ringing and it also is unable to print the tip of a sword properly.

In my attempt to fix these it has only gotten worse as it now also has ugly edges, they look almost burned even though i llwered the temperature by one degree celsius.

I put a direct drive extruder on it, it was not printing succesfully when it was still bowden.

So far i've played around with the print speed a little, lowered the travel speed and printed some big corners pieces to make the frame more rigid.

It seems the slight layer shifting inconsistencies have gotten a bit better.

I think a large part of these issues come from the printer being so big and the weight of the direct drive extruder.

I haven't been able to upload a picture and have no clue how to do it, the ringing is basically all over and the top 10mm look like a little lighting ⚡️instead of a smooth pointy tip.
