That’s what I switched to about 2 months after getting my Ender 3 S1 Pro. Klipper running from a RPi, lets me push sliced files out over WiFi to the printer right from Orca. So much better than dealing with SD cards.

Those flat tops are great, got one last year. Love doing breakfast on it. Can grill up eggs, pancakes, potatoes, or just do 3lbs of bacon all at once.

If you live somewhere with hard water, replace the copper with pex. The minerals eat away the pipes. We had a home in a hard water area once, sooo many pinhole leaks over time, and water heaters had really short life spans. If your water doesn’t require a softener, then keep the copper. If there’s a chance the pipes were exposed to freezing conditions at all in the past, look for bulges in the copper which will indicate weakened lines that should be replaced.

While it came out 22 years ago, State of the Union still feels like it could have been written for now.

That was truly awful. Owner afflicted by some ancient mummy curse?

Perfect answer, no need for me to scroll further.

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?

Waitress: Well, there’s spam egg sausage and spam, that’s not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don’t want ANY spam!

Man: Why can’t she have egg bacon spam and sausage?

Wife: THAT’S got spam in it!

Man: Hasn’t got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

I’ll have the spam, spam, eggs, and spam!

I just started looking at that this afternoon. May host my own on the game server I’m already running. Like that there are clients for Linux as well as Windows and Mac. My friend doing cross-play with his PS5 will probably have to link in using his phone though.

I did this, and installed the old drive into a USB adapter so I could easily pull any documents I may want to access. The Linux install will mount a NTFS drive, so worked great for that.

For the OP, while you CAN have the PC boot up to the Windows drive plugged into USB, I would not recommend doing it more than a couple times. Windows seems to hate this; I’ve had two installations of Win10 Pro eat itself and become unbootable, could not be repaired. The files were still accessible through Linux though so was able to make copies.

The boy and his father were released, but now DHS is pursuing an expedited deportation for the family.

I use “Windy” in the US. They have over 50 different map overlays.

Infrared lasers used in lidar systems will damage phone cameras, so likely will fry surveillance cameras as well. You can buy 1550nm lasers used as illuminators for night vision systems. Probably want a Class 2 or 3.

And yet, I do not feel fine.

State and local governments certainly need tax revenue to fund themselves. But our federal government does not. The US government controls the dollar, prints our currency, and can create all it wants. Federal taxes are used to pull money back out of circulation to keep the system in balance, so that the value of the dollar isn’t diluted. Not paying federal taxes would eventually create a situation painful for everyone. If the feds keep up spending, the dollar becomes worthless with too much money in circulation. They cut spending to try to keep the value up, then large chunks of the economy grind to a halt. Neither situation is good. If everyone’s faith in the value of the US dollar falters, the economy here falls apart. The wealthy can partly weather it, but the middle class and poor will be screwed.

I’m running a flatpak version of Orca Slicer on Kubuntu 24.04. Personally, just prefer Orca after trying out a couple others. Found that it worked under Mint, and the 24.04 versions of Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Newer distros using Wayland instead of X11 seemed to have issues (which some people running Cura or Prusa slicers saw as well). Not everyone, but plenty of folks had software lock up at startup, or the build plate preview would just be a blank page. Might be a video driver problem, possibly depending upon if you use nvidia or AMD. I couldn’t find any real answers.

If there’s a slicer you prefer, you may have to find a Linux distro that it works under. Or if you are running a distro you’re sticking with, try slicers until you get one that runs. It seems to be hit or miss for people without any good reason for what does and doesn’t work.

My setup started similar to yours. Asus x570 motherboard with an AMD 3800x processor set for 4.0Ghz and 32GB ram. I had an nvidia 3070ti card which did work for me running the current Kubuntu LTS. Just had to make sure I always had the latest driver release from nvidia. Running games through Steam worked fine, but shader caching would take 20 minutes if I didn’t just skip it. Games had some terrible shadows at times which I could never fix no matter what settings I turned off or reduced. Bought a PowerColor 9070xt card last month (and a bigger power supply to make sure there was enough juice to run everything). Popped it in and performance has been sooo much better! I was expecting there to be issues, but the system posted fine and came right up like normal. Shading issues are gone, games look far better (water actually looks watery and has ripples), shader caching dropped to 10 or 20 seconds. And I haven’t had my system become hung up once since the switch. Friends and I have played Enshrouded, Valheim, and Ark Survival Ascended recently, and been playing a bit of Skyrim for fun too. All have run smoother, look better, and my system has been more stable… Overall it was worth it for me to get a 9070xt card.

If women don’t find you handsome, at least they’ll find you handy.

That would have been a good thing to have. The cheap slicer got tossed, and we’ve got something like a Mueller slicer now. Sits over a container, and has guards so fingers can’t get too close to the blade.
