I love mr. robot :)

Maybe rubbing alcohol? It’s a solvent. Ideally you’d want to pull the battery etc. while doing this and try to tip it so the coffee gets diluted by the alcohol and then carried out as the solution drips off. I’ve seen JayzTwoCents clean other computer parts with alcohol baths. I’d try something like 70-90%. I might just be talking out my ass though. But that’s what I would try if I was determined to try to fix it without taking it apart. :p Make sure it has time to dry before using it.

inb4 people learn about what the animal industry actually does to their unnecessary animals. The baby boy chicks are just as worse off imo. 😞

Great idea. Although I can definitely see myself screenshotting the responses and never reading them again until I go back later while I’m cleaning out my phone.

Same here. I went through a breakup recently and I’ve been trying my hardest to not go paddling back to reddit to distract myself from all the feelings… It sucks to not have a place to vent and lean on. I hope the communities keep growing. It’s really good vibes here so far, I’m looking forward to more posts as people join.

Goodbye, filament money! Good grief do big prints chew through supply.

No freaking way those are 3d printed! If so, you’ve got serious talent. Very nice :o

I would consider trying DBT if both CBT and EMDR didn’t work out for you. I know what you mean about how silly and invalidating it feels to have a therapist just telling you to think differently. DBT is a lot less thought-oriented, and more feeling/behavior-based. I just started listening to a podcast called “The Skillful Podcast” where they take you through the techniques, if you want to try it out. If that doesn’t work though, you’re welcome to share a bit more about what you’re looking for and I feel like folks here could try to help you find something that fits better.

It’s unfortunate that tildes is invite-only. I also secretly wish they would federate their website with us somehow, but I guess we can’t have everything. :p

I love the idea of going out and having tasty drinks with friends without the pressure of needing to be intoxicated. Think of it this way - if alcohol was the only reason people were going to bars, why even have cocktails to cover up the taste of it? To me it seems to fall very much in line with the other trends of society lately, like with bubbly fruity waters or healthier versions of soda. I’ve seen more and more people abstaining from alcohol for reasons beyond addiction. Wanting to be healthier and live life without a hangover, taking care of their bodies, challenging social norms of what’s considered fun, replacing alcohol intoxication with other kinds, trying to connect in more authentic ways.

Personally I find myself drawn to these new ways of living too, and even though I still drink on occasion, I feel a lot better when I don’t and I’m glad there are alternatives that are all-in (rather than just ordering a soda at the bar).

I’ve had some good times journaling, but it’s been hard for me to start up as a regular practice. I never know what to write about. Do you have any suggestions from your own experience on what to focus on for someone that’s just getting started?

PETG is truly a pain!! You’d think with a plastic used in water bottles, it would do better with moisture. I recommend the brand CC3D if you want something reliable (and ultra cheap!) Also remember that PETG needs more room between the nozzle and the build plate (higher z offset) so that the filament doesn’t stick to the nozzle and make a mess :)

Prusa is top of the line for open source and very much falls into “works out of the box”. The other bed-slinger style printers like Ender are cheap but tend to have issues and are a money-sink for upgrades to get them working (lots of mods there). If you’re into hacking and modding stuff though, look into Voron printers. I’m not sure if any of the Voron versions fall into your budget, but you can buy a kit or do open-source. They’re self-built, extremely fast, customizable, and really meant for the people in the printing community who like to program and mod things.
