I think there are so many things that are taken as granted and therefore omitted in the communication. This makes it more difficult to communicate as the personal experience of the participants diverges. Sometimes a wide gap will cause awareness, and therefore exposition of some of the normally unspoken components.

I see the same thing with “common sense”. People assume everyone knows these things, hence the label. However the knowledge under that label is actually the accumulation of many small lessons, any number of which might have been skipped by any individual. Especially today, as more and more people are raised by screens instead of parents and community, people can end up with glaring gaps in their accumulated knowledge.

Have you tried Factorio or Satisfactory?

VLC can probably be skinned out like this. The image posted already resembles the default full screen controller setup for VLC.

You forgot to say btw

Didn’t they just “deport” a purple hearted veteran to Mexico?

I haven’t had to check, it’s worked great right out of the box and just prints. I helped a friend with a Kobra Max 1 that wouldn’t level. Turned out to be a damaged ribbon cable and I just trimmed it back and put a new end on it. He got that second hand, and I don’t think he even tried to contact support.

I did preorder mine, and they were not very communicative about shipping times, but everything arrived eventually.

I had an FLsun Q5 that I constantly had to babysit. Now my Anycubic Kobra 3 Max is amazing, takes files over the network, prints well, and requires almost none of the physical attention that the FLsun did. I would recommend checking out a Kobra.

Only if you want to be able to cook them in the evening.

Yes

Using the 10880 is a step in the right direction, as alkalines are booksolete for modern torches. However, starting on medium is a no-go for me; it should be a low start. Otherwise, nice looking light.

I don’t know what the kit consist of, hence my asking questions about the process. My anycubic kobra 3 max came packed flat, but was maybe a 10-15 minute assembly including unboxing

Other departments on a 3 on 4 off rotation had it much better, at least there was some semblance of time off. Also, my area has basically nothing open after dark besides fuel stations, making the problem worse.

And I subtracted those hours and more from my question in the first place. Still a strange way to count your time. The title gives a sticker shock of taking 36 hours to assemble the kit. How much time did it actually take to do so? Five or six hours spread across a day and a half? Could it have been less if a focused effort could have been afforded? I am just surprised at the idea that it could have taken more than an hour or two, frankly.

I recently got away from a 7p-7a, and rationalizations aside, it is so bad. Maybe the day shifters are ok with it, but they don’t have to wildly swing their sleep schedule every couple days just to get some time to do something other than work or sleep.

You spent 30+ hours working on assembling this, or you finished it 36 hours after starting it, but spent a lot of time focusing elsewhere as well?

A warlock can’t be casting raise dead all day and night. Better to raise one that then raises one of its own, and let the chain continue.

DRG is a great game. Not sure about how it does on a small screen like the steam deck.

No
