The best community search I know of is Lemmy Explorer. I found !marijuanaenthusiasts@lemmy.world but it doesn't seem active. There are probably more if you're willing to spend more than the 30 seconds I did on it.

Is it because, like me, you'd often type out full replies on Reddit, then decide at the last moment to not post it out of fear of becoming troll food?

I like that they've read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn't fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that... but easier to spell.

They always spend like an hour in the hallways outside the Penn and Teller Theater after shows meeting fans. The people who crowd around Teller are often magicians because he is notoriously generous when it comes to helping other magicians. They both are really, but I think a majority of successful magicians in the US have a trick in their repertoire that Teller helped out with in some way or another.

I just love that, after being silent all show, he comes out and talks enthusiastically with fans and colleagues.

The only celebrities that I met and had a moment to converse with were Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas.

My wife and I met them at a release event for a small electric car company in 2011 or 2012. I had just gotten a copy of "Dr Horrible's Sing-Along blog: The Book" and it was the first time he had seen it. So basically we flipped through the book together and Nathan pointed out things in pictures and talk about who made them or what they were made of.

it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup

One copy of of anything isn't a backup, it's a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you're giving them all the trust and control.

I don't think this game has much replayability. Especially as the server is becoming less and less stable.

Bangs are the reason I moved to DuckDuckGo after Neeva shut down

Mallrats. And the director's commentary is good too.

A few years ago they started to wrap them in black plastic to slow thefts. And they found it lead to them getting mistreated by shipping companies a lot more - and fewer working printers were ultimately making it to people.

I've seen speculation in the 3d printer community that when people see a foreign origin package that just squeaked under the import duty cost and wrapped in black they assume it's something for some rich jerk and may treat the package accordingly. But when they see it's a tool frequently used for regular folks to set up a side hustle, they're nicer to it.

Assuming you're talking about FDM/FFF printing and not SLA or sintering:

There's a bit of a catch-22 when it comes to mating flat 3d printed surfaces: The face that's on the build plate will be the flattest and result in the smallest seam. It's also the face most likely to be dimensionally inaccurate because of elephant footing, which can result in a ridge at the seam. And the easy fix for having an elephant foot it adding a chamfer, which results in a big visible seam. So my actual advice is:

  1. get your first layer super-duper dialed in
  2. then make sure "elephant foot correction" (or whatever your slicer may call it) is turned off in your slicer (or it'll add a 0.4mm chamfer for you)
  3. make sure your mating faces are face down on the bed
  4. avoid textured build plates if you can

And if aesthetics are a high priority consider using an automotive filler primer (I buy it in spray cans) and then painting the piece after it's glued. Filler primer will help hide the seam and layer lines.

An evil like this can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano.

My Haribo order arrived (social.fossware.space)

My Prusa MK4 kit just arrived and I'm looking forward to seeing how assembly differs from the MK3s. I'm not going to have a chance to work on it until Friday though.
