Case in point: I modeled a thing today, printed it off, and realized that it would be ever so helpful if one part were about a millimeter thicker. 30 seconds later, version 2 of the part is on its way to the printer.
It's fucking _amazing._ I can't wait for stuff like that to become as mainstream as paper printers are.
It's like how the word "literally" has come to be used as an intensifier, not strictly in the (ahem) literal sense of the word - and "objectively" is well on it's way down the same path. You can be angry about that, but it's not going to stop the continuing evolution in how the world uses those terms - and "engineering" as a term is exactly the same.
What's Her?
(That's assuming you're at sea level, as another commenter noted - if you're at 5,000 feet, the boiling point of water is something like 95°C.)
What state do you live in?
Two days ago I did weed for the first time. I accidentally took a much larger hit than I meant to. For the first 15 minutes I had a complete out-of-body experience; nothing seemed real, I felt like I was floating through space, able to peer into reality at will, still not quite trusting that it wasn't all a dream. I'm pretty sure the term of art for what I experienced would be a psychotic episode.
After that... I lost my filter. Like, it was gone. And my mouth was a conveyor belt connected to the emotional part of my brain. No logic, just uninhibited speech, for 45 minutes, all while sobbing harder than I have in my entire life.
I exposed every last deep, dark secret I possessed. My fear of never being good enough. My fear that everyone in my life will leave me at some point. My fear that I've done so many hurtful things over my life that I'm unworthy of love and of the friends I have. And many more things I won't be sharing with the world, at least not yet.
Inside, it felt like my brain and my mouth were connected by a pipe, and all I could do was sit back and watch in horror as the very depths of my mind were laid bare for all to see.
A good friend of mine was with me while I did it. She heard everything. It's a mark of our friendship that she held me, reassured me that she loved me for who I am, not who I want people to think I am. Our friendship is even stronger now, something I would never have thought possible before having that experience.
It was terrifying, and yet oddly theraputic. I'm seriously considering cannabis-assisted psychotherapy now.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: there are a number of substances that induce mind-altering states in ways that are relatively safe and free from long term effects. If you're someone who can't seem to open up naturally, don't be afraid to try them. They just might change your life.
(As with everything, consume appropriately and safely. Have someone experienced in the substance you're consuming keep an eye on you. And for god's sake, don't do anything known to be addictive or to have severe negative side effects.)
Also, find friends who you can truly be yourself around, who love you even when they know the absolute worst about you. It makes all the difference to know that someone loves you not for who you want the world to think you are but for who you actually are.
As someone who owns an X1C, it's abundantly clear that many of the comments are armchair quarterbacking from folks who don't own a Bambu and have never tried one.
Cheap Chinese clone? That's like calling SpaceX a cheap knockoff of Orbital ATK.
Camera can only stream to Bambu's servers? Factually incorrect, you can stream locally via RTSP.
I come here for insightful debate about a company and product that have plenty of interesting aspects, both good and bad, to discuss, not for the pedantic, ideological sniping that this discussion is full of. It really saddens me to see this on HN of all places.
Let's get the straw man out of the way: "multicolor" is not the only use for printing with multiple filaments.
I own an X1C. I print with breakaway support filament all the time. It's a total game changer. And since only two filament changes are required for each layer that has a support interface, the time it adds to a print is negligible.
There are plenty of uses for multi-filament printing that don't involve changing filaments every single layer of the print.
That's a particularly amusing example to pick considering that dealers are the dominant distribution channel from which to acquire a car, at least in the U.S.
I'm pretty sure it's been well established that a high comment-to-upvote ratio causes the HN ranking algorithm to penalize a story.
I think it's interesting the sorts of things where we assume we know how something's said or done and then it turns out that's not a universal thing. On the one hand, best not to assume if one can help it. On the other hand, it's impractical to for example look up every word for cultural context before using it/voicing something based on an assumption around it.
I do wonder what those from other countries where other spellings are more common think when us Americans come in and correct them, as if our spelling is objectively more correct...
Careful. It's easy to overlook disabilities that may not be immediately externally visible.
I have a friend who's heavily dyslexic. You'd never know it if you ran into her on the street; she's quite successful in her career. Yet she uses voice dictation when sending text messages because it's an order of magnitude less time and cognitive effort for her to write something out that way.
I tend to think the world would be a better place if we were all just a little bit less judgemental of things we see others doing that we can't immediately explain.
This seems like a silly linguistic nitpick to die on.
It doesn't matter if fault lies with an external vendor, people can't fly and Southwest is still going to take reputational damage as a result.
That's an interesting point, and it got me thinking: why do I continue buying from Amazon over AliExpress etc.?
Pretty simple answer, really: logistics. I can order an adapter from Amazon and have it here by 6 PM tonight. The same thing off AliExpress will take a week or more to get here.
If Wish or AliExpress can figure out near-same day delivery, they could put a sizeable dent in Amazon's market share.
Junk mail wasn't the issue in this case.
I also see it with any number (>= 1) of eyes open and at any angle. Wonder if GP's phone was on night shift or something similar - the article mentions that color changes impact the illusion's visibility.
Makes me wonder how many lived experiences I take for granted that are totally different for others, and likewise the lenses through which others see the world that I would never imagine.
