Do Revo nozzles print significantly better / differently?

Abolished. I don’t want a reformed fascist institution filled with neo Nazis. Such an institution does not exist for the benefit of America and it’s unwise to try and reform it.

My favorite use case is printing alternatives to otherwise overpriced repair parts that are priced to nudge you into replacing the whole damn thing.

The free press is not served by assisting the facists in manufacturing consent.

Looks like they released the .f3d source as well. IE, this is not a real point of contention.

Good to see. I didn’t see them there when I first looked.

That said, I think if had to guess the behavior without looking at documentation I would guess that it's still available in the `else` so that's slightly more natural seeming to me...but I wouldn't be frustrated to learn it wasn't and the rust way would bias towards less resource usage.

Well my opinion on this is weak either way because regardless of the final convention, there are ways to write the code to make memory free when you want and they don't seem particularly burdensome. Eg. if Rust-like you could just declare the viable outside the if in a using block to keep it scoped.

I don't know that it shouldn't be available in the else block. In that specific example I can't imagine one would often be using `resource` in the else block but what if it went into a few `else if()` blocks first? I could imagine a need for `resource` to still be around in an `else if()` block.

Ladybird is the only browser not downstream chromium or downstream Firefox and it’s not ready just yet. Also wouldn’t use software made by Brendan Eich (Brave) for a bunch of reasons.

Like maybe in the “quality” settings there could be a toggle to filter out slop.

When Blender finally comes to iPad (assuming that project isn’t abandoned before completion) it will happily use all the power Apple can put in them but consumers will still be better off running the same thing on any computer.

Come for the quaternion banter stay for the cats.

Scented trash bags also repel people. You can’t make trash smell better by putting it in a scented trash bag.

That one strikes me as kinda a lot for being some cut plastic panels. Guess it’s a low volume thing?

What is your software of choice for mechanical design?

Last time they had Daft Punk holding the movie together despite the utter mess the plot was. Also at least a Jeff Bridges appearance. This time we just get the aesthetics of Tron slapped on a generic action film core. Bleh.
