Chat GPT just solved a riddle a friend asked me.

@MakerWerks
Interesting. Looks like an additional layer of control. That would be useful if I was planning to go into production!

My setup is a BOSSDelta300. Large capacity build space.
I bought it specifically to do this project.

@MakerWerks
Could be. There are voids in the outer wall, so it's probable.

Yet, I placed the filament into a Sunlu dryer with a desiccant bag for 2 days.
I may just run through this spool and just see what the new batch delivers. I've got 100 hrs of printing ahead.

@MakerWerks
Thanks for the tip!
I'd still like to figure out how to minimize the stringing with this filament. I ran 14 test with a black PVA and reduced it down to nothing.

After days of tuning the 3D printer I'm finally getting some nice results. These are parts of the cornice I designed for our guest bedroom bookcase.

Shit.
David Crosby died.

Looks like we also got the San Francisco city attorney to take action to stop the impending transfer of patients out of Laguna Honda Hospital.
He requests "that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) exercise its discretion to continue the pause on transfers and discharges at Laguna Honda Hospital & Rehabilitation Center"

That crater on the top of that peak is intriguing.

Laguna Honda is in the news again. This time with Marketwatch, a national publication!

I got another quote.

Every morning
(well, almost every morning)
I read a passage or two from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

Besides teaching perspective on dealing with difficult people,
a key theme is:

"You are always in control."

I wish I had that perspective as a young adult.

I wish some of my siblings had that perspective.

First negative test!
I'm in the clear!

I made the news again.
We're trying to keep the government from evicting 400 skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents from Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco. The eviction restarts on Feb 2nd.
The last process killed 12 people out of 41 SNF residents. a 27% death rate.
We have 400 SNF residents still there.
That's 100 deaths about to happen.
And 50 will die within 3 weeks of discharge.

Still positive.
But the test line is even more faint.
Thought I'd be clear of it today. Hoping for a negative test tomorrow.

You cannot fix everyone.
Best to let this one drift into the void.

I recommend listening to all opinions. But don't amplify them unless you have done your research.
And, by "research", I mean finding sources that are less likely to be biased and are not merely amplifying a similar message.

Society has erroneously equated charisma to intelligence and integrity.
This is how suckers have been conned for centuries.

When we're debating "free speech" and social media, remember to include "amplification" in the discussion.
It is OK to have any opinion. Otherwise innovation and truth are suppressed.
It is not OK to influence hundreds, thousands or millions with an opinion when:
1) The counter-position is not also presented
2) It is messaged to a receptive audience (aka: not discerning)

@Dreamer9177
I'm feeling fine now.
I just want to be rid of this plague.

@th3j35t3r
What is absolutely horrible about this statement is that Twitter and other popular Social Media platforms are AMPLIFIERS.
The "free speech" position is the first order effect.

The amplification of falsity is the second order effect that damages society.

Elon doesn't get this.
