I just spotted my first in person yesterday and I agree completely. My kid said "It's shiny" and I said "Yeah, because the alternative to that is to be covered in rust".
Is there a pattern to where the gaps are happening? Like are they always where the beginning of a layer starts printing or are they interspersed throughout layers? I recently had a similar problem with my K1 and some random filaments that were a few years old where the start/end points of my layers had holes, almost like the start of the extrusion was lagging behind the movement or the stopping of the extrusion was happening prematurely. I never really figured out the core problem because I just switched to vase mode because it worked nicely for the model I was printing. But I thought about playing with my retraction settings in case I was retracting too much or adjusting my nozzle temp in case these rolls just weren't flowing when melted like they used to (but it sounds like you've tried that already). And I know it's a bit cliche at this point but you might want to try drying your filament especially if you're hearing pops from the nozzle when it's printing.
Thankfully my dog only really interacts with other dogs at places that require vaccinations.
I agree with your overall message of discussing things in a non-toxic way, but I would also caution people against being the friend in the group who seems to dislike everything. I'm not directing this at you specifically, but what you said reminded me of how I used to be and of other people I've known, where taking the negative position on whatever is being discussed is just what came naturally. Even if you manage to not be toxic about it, it will still get old after a while. I didn't realize that's how I was coming across until one day a friend exasperatedly asked me why I had to be so negative all the time. There's bound to be plenty of things you can agree on liking with your friends or else it would be kind of weird for you to have become friends in the first place. For anyone else who tends to be the negative Nancy, I would recommend making a conscious effort to trade off between being the "for" and "against" side of your friend debates, so to speak.
