Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?
  • A lot of it is stolen, stripped of what the theives want, and then dumped to get rid of evidence. Whatever is left anyway. The rest is simply because it's cheaper than bringing it to the landfill. Landfill is $12-15 for a truckload. The fine is (up to) $10000 for illegal dumping where I am. Lots of risk, but the likelihood of getting caught at night is so low that it isn't really a factor. Landfill really just needs to be free for individual residents. The amount the gov spends on cleanups is probably more than their $12.

  • Are filament vacuum bags worthwhile?
  • Depends where you live. I live in a desert so humidity isn't an issue, but dust is. I keep most of my filament in bags just to protect from dust. The only one I actually vacuum seal is tpu. Pla, pla+, and petg all do fine without. If I store it for more than a year though, I run it through the dryer first. Or at least have the dryer running while I print from it.

  • Why is Facebook still so insanely popular?
  • Groups and marketplace really. The only reason i even open facebook is to buy and sell car parts & check out other peoples setups. Offer up sucks in my area, craigslist is dead, marketplace has everything. & outside of car specific forums, there really isnt a lot of places to talk with local people with similar interests.

    Im suprised youtube isnt higher than fb though.

  • What salary do you think would make you happy?
  • $150k/year. Enough to afford the house I'm in and still have enough left to not have to worry about being short on any recurring bills. Note: I'm in California. Most other states and id be fine at 90-100k.

  • Nightdive Studios Hints at Remastering The Darkness
  • I loved the darkness games. I really hope they do well with it and get another game out of it in the future. The universe there is so fucking cool & i think they could expand on it so much more.

    A remaster of the first one would be amazing though. The 2nd one is on steam and I just replayed that one few months ago. The first one is on xbox 360 and i dont think its even available on the xbox one or pc.

  • Dedicated room for PC?
  • Mine is in my bedroom. Moderate rgb, corsair fans. Light and sound don't bother me though. It's quieter than my 3d printer which is also in my room, but I don't run it at night.

    I would have it in another room if I could though. We just don't have the space right now.

  • What is your record for number of hours on a single game?
  • 1302.2 hours on DayZ. Havent played since april though. Its a game ill play 30 hours a week until a server reset and then I wont touch it for months.

    Destiny 2 and elden ring have been my latest ones though with 469 hours on ER and 365 on destiny 2.

  • I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on
  • It is against the steam subscriber agreement to use a VPN. Particularly if you're using it to get around a region restricted game. Will they check and catch you? Probably not, but they can. It's definately not recommended though.

  • First time with PETG. Is this calibration, wetness or something else?
  • Check for a partial clog. 80% of the time i get that consistency with petg, its because the nozzle is partially clogged. The other 20% is the ptfe tubing is shot. Usually it partially melts and causes underextrusion.

    Wet filament could be an issue too, but this is pretty extreme for wet filament.

  • Please put your money where your mouth is.
  • Jerboa has no ads. Why would i pay $17 a year for removing ads that sync puts on their app themselves? There is nothing that sync is bringing to the table that jerboa doesnt have ad/subscription free.

  • Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?
  • Halloween Ends (2022)

    I watched it in theaters when it came out and really liked it. Interesting slasher movie with good scenes and a good plot. Yes, I wish they would have let Cory keep the spirit of Michael alive, but it is probably better to let the character die in peace.

    But then i saw all the Michael Myers fans hating on it afterwards and never understood why. 40% on rotten tomatoes.
