The drone operators video in the article explicitly calls out the commander for being corrupt, misreporting the situation on the ground, having Western contacts that he's working with, and being involved in narco-trafficking.

I feel bad for the drone operator who was sent to his death for a shitty cause, but if the Russian commanders are like that, that's a win for the good guys in my book.

There are videos of people reacting to hearing Megadeth's Holy Wars... the Punishment Due for the first time. I enjoy the song, but I first heard it when I was probably like 10 and don't really remember the first time. Would be fun to hear it with a fresh pair of ears.

That was a really fun book to listen to. He narrates the second one as well, but it didn't capture lightning in a bottle the same way.

Probably shouldn't mention that if you get asked about how you got started at your kid's school career day.

It's an extremely tacky/offensive ad. The humor in this post is that it's absolutely fucking insane for a restaurant to have thought this was a good idea.

I started and stopped Red Dead 2 several times over a few years, because while I enjoyed the story at first, it just wasn't gripping. Then eventually you get to a point where the story picks up and you're hooked. It has such a good ending.

I was thinking about this movie yesterday in a thread talking about Beethoven. But I didn't bring it up, because I figured it was too traumatic for most people.

And how many wipes do they need after dumping their girlfriend?

Same! There's a lot of stuff from my childhood that I remember being awesome, then going back to revisit it and being horrified. Like, I vaguely remembered the movie Gremlins being cute and funny when I was a kid. But reading the plot now makes me wonder how I survived childhood without PTSD.

I just looked it up and the selling puppies was the plot of the 2nd movie.

Dry your filament! (sh.itjust.works)

I love in Colorado, which is a pretty dry state, so while I had heard of "wet filament", I never considered it to be a problem that I would have to worry about. I had seen people creating dry storage bins for their filament, but figured that must just be for people in humid climates.

When I first bought my 3D printer a few years ago, I did what most people probably do - I bought a 10 pack of different filament colors. Everything printed great for a while, but eventually, my prints just started to kind of suck. I made a few upgrades to my printer, but still couldn't pinpoint what was going on. What was frustrating, is that some times my prints would be great - but other times I couldn't even print the most simple prints without problems.

I eventually noticed that my great prints were from newer filament that I had recently purchased, but my bad prints were coming from spools I've had sitting out for a while. So I purchased a $40 filament dryer on Amazon and it instantly fixed all the problems I'd been having.

I feel dumb, because I had gone through three different extruders, new hot ends, new nozzles, tubing, and spent tons of time cleaning and tightening stuff on my printer. I had left my printer untouched for months because it was just so frustrating. Something as simple as old filament left out never occurred to me until much later.

TLDR; If your prints have started to suck after a while, you might want to try drying your filament.
