When you think about yourself or users carrying their devices, what sort of devices do you envision?
My 2021 MBP has those round feet that stick out an bit and is like 5 lbs. It’s an aluminum unibody. Grippy in the hands and rigid. I can gesture with it and have absolutely held it at the extent of my reach with two fingers to physically block an excited (but leg-injured) dog from running. My 2024 Dell Precision is 7 lbs, smooth, slippery plastic, and don’t move it without two hands on it at all times.

But, truthfully - from my IT view - 5/26 blaze it.
Do what you want, when you want, how you want as long as you don’t fuck with the security of the device. If you mess up your work device, your employer should have a plan for that. It sucks, but that’s the cost of doing business and a reasonable employer should know that. Obviously, don’t be careless, but things happen and we can’t nanny everyone. We’re adults, and if people mess up their gear, then respond appropriately. As a matter of IT and organizational planning, clear, effective, but reasonable policies and contingencies should be in place.
As far as personal devices go, meh. All the devices back up regularly and there’s usually a budget or warranty program in place for repair/replacement.

I sort of feel bad for doing that, and I am probably tempting fate, but it feels so natural to just hold it like a frisbee.

is accused of impregnating a minor while he was in office

Shit, here I thought it was that he escaped from Easter Island.

Bad design.

Dungeon goes in the basement, not in the middle next to the cuddle puddle or the burlesque room. The noise and activity would throw off the vibe.

Really, it sort of depends on the type of energy you’re going for, but I’d make that dungeon room the massage parlor/tarot card reading/high tea service room. Foyer gets a boot shine station.
Hair and makeup moves to the polycule room, which is lined with mirrors and outside the gender swap machine.
Pet play moves to the current massage parlor, which appears to be some sort of 3-seasons room - everyone knows that cats need sunlight. Current pet play room becomes vetting and administration, plus coat check.
Milking room and dungeon go to the basement, along with group showers, rigging, and the science lab (medical, vacuum beds, electrostim) and other wet or high noise equipment. No carpet. Tile. That way you can hose it out.
Poly play room, group sex, and individual suites are upstairs. Each room has ‘flipper’ signs indicating status - reserved, observers welcome, participants welcome, do not disturb, in need of cleaning. Upstairs bathroom has a compact dishwasher under the sink that’s capable of sterilizing. Pantry has a lending library of sorts.

Editing to add: what’s currently the milking room becomes my office, where I shitpost to the Fediverse.

This is why you just be honest.
Look, we’re in modern times.

1. Act ethically. Keep no secrets.
2. Fuck whoever you want, but make sure everyone is on board and in the know.
3. You’re the firewall to your sexual network. If your network is one person or a hundred, you verify the status of each new partner before you engage in something that could expose you to risk. (Verify, don’t ask. See the paperwork.)
4. Get tested regularly to establish a baseline. The periodicity depends on your risk factors and the size/velocity of your sexual network. Once every 3-4 new people in the network is common in my experience.

And that’s it!

Pro tip: Boundaries end at your body. You shouldn’t tell someone not to be who they are, but you can choose not to accept a relationship style that doesn’t work for you. And vice versa.
Life is too short to be unhappy.

I’ve seen wrinkling like that occur on taller parts with lower infill when the outer shell traps warm/hot air, which distorts the top of the shell as it tries to escape.
If that’s at play here (it doesn’t feel exactly right, though), then as others have suggested, perhaps it’s a cooling fan speed setting?
Any chance your bed is too hot, or some settings like first layer temp/final layer temp are causing unexpected issues? That’s a giant skirt for a large, flat piece. Is the thing tacoing on you?

My other thought on this could be uneven drying of your filament. Perhaps one side is drying to 10%, and the other side is not. Any way to rotate the filament as it’s drying?
How long are you drying for?

I choose to be weird.

So I recently(ish) went through this - migrating from consumer hardware to rolling my own.
Here’s what I did:

I bought a mini-PC router and loaded OPNsense onto it.
I needed wireless AP’s in some odd places, so I bought a pair of POE-powered Netgear WAX620 AP’s because they were a decent price, and a 2.5G POE+ Switch.
I probably would not go with Netgear again. They try to lock you into their cloud (subscription) platform. I don’t dig it. I would probably also not go with a POE switch unless I had to, because it adds a lot to the cost.
If I had planned better, I’d have waited until a decent older switch became available from a local surplus source. (The local university has a public surplus site that sometimes has interesting and cheap networking gear.)
If you plan to set up VLANs, make sure your switches are up to the task.

The Onion cover, November 6, 2024

About 7 years ago, my now-wife and I had just moved to this city and she was struggling to find work. We attended a few networking events to try to figure out the job market for her field here.

Now, I mean. I know my wife is hot. She was then, she is now. She can and has stopped traffic. People have fallen off bikes to gawp at her. Women have thrown themselves at her. Men act like boys around her.

At this professional networking event, while my wife had stepped away, a man wearing a 3-piece suit and clearly well into his career turned to me and said “I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but she’s … really … beautiful.” The overall affectation and delivery was fawning, cautious, even. He was kind of moon-eyed. The guys around him all nodded somberly, as if they’d been stricken.
He had been talking with the men around him when we wandered over, and they all went a bit quiet when we came over.

Clearly, I still remember the compliment. It was a great testament to how hot my wife is. She’s a babe. (And like, fun, funny, and sweet and all the other stuff that makes relationships work.)

With a name that horrible, each click had better sound like “plap” so you can plap, plap, plap your day away while flicking the bean.

I like that interpretation way better than my own.

The chocolate is spinning a narrative and I don’t like if.

Particularly messy ass to vagina creampie?

I did not know he was married. I just assumed not.

I thought he was copping a feel off Usha Vance.

(In my defense, the lighting is dim and if someone asked me to picture Stephen Miller’s wife, olive-skinned is emphatically not a descriptor that would have come to mind.)

I think it’s reasonable to find meaning in a hobby and to be afraid of bears.

Golf claps
Well done, old chap!

Performative self-victimization. It tracks.

When not referred to by its proper name, His Majesty is known as the womb hammer or the flesh dagger.

Are you referring to the 2022 bombing of a maternity hospital in Mariupol, the 2024 bombing of a maternity hospital in Kyiv, or the 2025 attacks against children’s hospitals in Kherson, Kharkiv, Kamianske, and Odessa? (These are just the results from the first page of search results.)

Or are you referring to Russia literally stealing Ukrainian children from their families to try to erase their culture?

I say those things to say this: We can all pretend to be stupid when it suits us. I know you weren’t thinking of Ukrainian children. It suits me right now to ensure those examples are fresh on your mind.

The game of politics is still being played even if you chose to make moves that didn’t contribute strategically. The U.S. system is not democratic, and unless it is reformed, voters must compromise their morals to achieve some of their aims. It sucks, but it’s the reality.
You made a call. You thought it was the most moral thing you could do at the time.

Rather than attack your past decisions, or try to convince you to see things from my worldview — I want to ask if you could go back in time and explain the current state of the world to yourself do you think you would make the same voting decisions again?

They’ve done Paul Newman dirty.
