Trying to troubleshoot a #Creality #Ender3Pro #3dPrinter. On prints with negative space it tends to do what you see here on the bed level test. Any thoughts? Hoping it’s just settings on slicing I need to fine tune

Been blessed to not only have provided several covers to the comics series over the years but to also co-write w @francazilla.bsky.social & draw our own episode, “SILENT WARNING” currently in stores by @idwpublishing.com

Maybe it's this: animals do neither good nor evil. They do as they must do. We may call what they do harmful or useful, but good and evil belong to us, who chose to choose what we do.

@rudytheelder.bsky.social there’s no way to express how much your writings, fiction and non, have impacted me and inspired me. And resonated with my own interests (exploring the Beats & roots of cyberpunk - found your Burroughs/Turing novel! Just one example). Honor to meet you here!

It’s almost as if the safety of systems is a function of how we organize social relationships around and through those systems, as opposed to a bunch of predictions run through linear algebra and bayesian statistics

The most important thing I learned in my 20s is that being smart doesn't make you special. Eventually you need to learn to try hard and to enjoy learning to do things you're not immediately good at. It turns out that the people who didn't learn this lesson were reading Harry Potter fanfic.

One of the problems with the AI industry being run by apocalyptic millenarian cultists isn’t that their end of the world scenarios are made up; it’s that like other similar millennialists, they think their desired end of the world is a utopia and they’ll do whatever they can to make it real.

I’m sure I’ll think of one that’s more of a favorite later, but Bile in “Strangeland” and also the Dee Snider track opening it. Not a needle drop but you can see lots of #Chemlab flyers if you look in the original “12 Monkeys” for “Burnout at the Hydrogen Bar”
