Technically not legal, but depending on the wording, there's a ton of gray area in what's considered warranty-covered damage and what's not warranty-covered damage. Companies absolutely take advantage of the gray area, even lying in some instances because they know that their users would rarely have the know-how to call them out on it and demand rightful warranty coverage. LTT's argument is that if there is such large legal gray area on the warranty, it is meaningless to provide one to begin with

A lobotomy with a rusty ice pick, at that. I don't know of any situation in which torture could ever be conceived by anyone as an appropriate response, yet here we are

I'm unsure what the game is supposed to be - is it just a collection of different versions of Tetris?

No, I don't think there's an ulterior motive. Reddit kicked out all the active mods and mods who knew what they were doing, and then brought in people with zero mod experience. Of course you're going to get more issues with mod abuse now. Not everyone has the temperament to be a responsible mod, and I think Reddit is simply reaping the consequences of its choices

Haven't had issues at all on my end. I use Windows 10/11. I get crashes/weird shit happening from time to time, but I'm pretty sure that's more Windows's fault than anything

I would like one too, if possible. Thanks ahead

I liked Noroi: The Curse.

No jumpscares, but really quite unsettling

Some astronauts are on the international space station. They were scheduled to come down to Earth some time ago, but the rocket that's supposed to take them down has failures, and so the return trip has been postponed. NASA isn't convinced that the rocket can be fixed in time, and they have no alternatives ready, so for now the astronauts are just stuck in space.

Obligatory note that the rocket was built by Boeing, who are already in hot water for negligently lax construction protocols on their planes. As an extra note, Boeing engineers seem to think that NASA should use the rocket anyways because it's "unlikely" to crash and burn this time

The hate jar has visible condensation. The moisture probably is driving the mold growth.

You can't outright, but you can at least try to minimize your exposure. Easiest way is to avoid buying products that use plastic packaging, especially if the product that you're planning to buy is food. Don't microwave plastics, even the supposedly "food safe" one - that releases a ton of microplastics into your food. Don't order takeout - again, lots of plastic in the containers. Even paper food containers contain a plastic coating.

Don't touch receipts, especially with wet hands. Or at minimum, wash your hands thoroughly after touching it

I find that it's best to use 65C for the bed temperature for the first couple of layers, and then drop the temperature to 50C. If you're using Cura, there should be an option to do that, but you'll need to dig through the advanced settings to find it. Doing this has completely solved warping for me (Ender 3 Pro v1 with PLA filament). My understanding is that it works because the temperature differential between the top and bottom layers causes a pulling force that causes the warping that you see. I think it's something about the expansion of the plastic due to heat - as the plastic cools down, it shrinks, which pulls the layer below it upward. The wider the base, the stronger the pulling force. And the more layers you add, the more the pulling force compounds, until eventually the print warps.

The solution is simple - minimize the temperature differential. You really only need it to be hot on the initial layer, for the print to stick properly. And afterward you only need to maintain a temp that's just hot enough that the print doesn't pop off. Hence, 65C initial, 50C for everything else afterward

Probably less relevant, but I also find that adhesion improves if you have the printer go at half speed for the first couple of layers. Again, there should be a setting in Cura, but it's in the advanced settings

I find that I can just use these 2 modifications and everything just works. No need for glue. I just dust off the bed when it gets dusty but beyond that, I don't mess with it. Actually, the adhesion is quite strong. Even after the bed has cooled to room temperature, I have to exert a bit of force to pull the print off the bed

Haribo sugarless gummy bears have a strong laxative effect. I'd say that's a pretty strong contender
