The manager sucked. There’s a lot of solutions to this issue but cross training and proper backup preparation are the most ideal ones.

Sounds like the process is less of an issue and more the fact that it’s used to cover up low quality coffee beans.

We give that to people as a joke. Pretending to like it is part of the gag.

But what Gladwell wasn’t wrong about was that your turbo pump guy wasn’t born with some innate ability. He learned it, he practiced it.

Apparently you’re not getting the 10k hours reference.

Pausing while he handles a family matter sounds like the opposite of him leaving.

He’s on the outs.

Yup, the article talks about how London is carrying the average.

Reminds me of my Ender of Theseus.

There’s also a huge dropoff in academics when there’s a concentration of poverty.

Mixed income schools with mixed income classes aren’t nearly as affected. The more poverty in a classroom the harder it is for those struggling students to get the time and attention they need.

In addition to all the commentors talking about the actual funding of schools and pay for teachers. There is a well established link between the financial stability of a home and the performance of students that come from it. Struggling families have struggling students.

Social issues often are financial at their roots.

The UK just hit these levels. Mississippi has been this poor a LONG time.

Your country has responded to every financial crisis in recent history with austerity. You left the EU to your financial detriment. Your country is now as poor as the state of Mississippi in the US, that is very bad.

For adhesion issues clean with soap and water, not alcohol. Take your build plate to the kitchen sink and wash it.

Long straight lines are prone to curling. Assuming your bed temp is already 60c and you regularly wash your build plate with soap and water. Your options are some sort of adhesion aid like a brim or mouse ears or slow your print down. You may find a combination all these works best.

Modern slicers have settings for slowing your first layer as well as setting a number of subsequent slow layers that transition into your normal speed. I would start by increasing the number of slow layers to something like 10.

The number one enemy of any 3D printer is physics. In this case it’s the physics of rapidly laying long straight lines of molten plastic on to one another. As those layers cool they shrink and pull against the previous layers. If the previous layer has sufficient time to cool then that reduces the shrinkage and the forces applied to the previous layers.

Download a profile from somewhere. No reason to start from scratch. There’s a V2 profile on printable and they are functionally the same.

Unless they pull something out of left field Loki S2 is going to be about 500 times more important to watch that Brave New World. I can’t imagine how BNW is relevant at all. The only thing it really introduces to the MCU that might be important is Adamantium and I’m 90% sure they mentioned that in the trailers. And even then if you’re watching the old X Men movies you know what that is. And if you don’t know a wiki article with be a better use of your time.

Stupid auto correct.

This list isn’t bad. https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/essential-marvel-movies-guide/

But you might skip Brave New World. Not sure there’s much of consequence there.

Romulan bird of prey.
