My guess would be it’s the “safe” option especially if avoidance calculation isn’t actually being done (also may not even work well with diff printer configs, multiple models). And yeah, slow Z travel.

Though I haven’t done 3D printing in a while (I should have kept it simple) so I don’t know. I would probably try to use some other print as a purge if possible, either via infill or just something that doesn’t matter (utility or will be painted anyway).

This isn’t about paranoia. I’m a carless shut-in of Almost Nowhere, USA and there’s a pile of snow on the ground.

But mostly it was a joke, because it should be funny that it is an unlikely request.

I’m all for not trusting A.I., but please be realistic.

Also for most instruments, the ability to practice without bothering others.

Though honestly never having the option to even try many instruments is probably why many people don’t play an instrument. Digital is completely open, though I’d also say composing music is different than performing it.

Add restrictions to time/energy/mood, learning resources being paywalled, music theory being daunting, personal difficulties with certain instruments etc.

I only see them when they are negative

I got downvoted for a comment recently*. My instance has up/down on by default and to me that somewhat softened the blow… to see that it wasn’t all downvotes but roughly a 1:2 (up:down) ratio.

EDIT: Also, you could of course have total+upvotes (or upvote %) if you wish, though I guess that doesn’t work for posts which are mostly just the total (if set, upvote % only displays on hover)

*= in a very “why are you booing me? I’m right.” moment, my 2 explanation replies were not, yet did not seem to change future votes (though maybe that was not the reason in the first place)

I mean, can you really fault someone for not engaging frequently if they are browsing? Especially when it comes to posts, not everyone has a reason to post. The stuff I’d post is niche so thinking about the best place is tedious and previous attempts have been disappointing.

I’ll block content/communities that I don’t care anything about, but I’d rather not block users. I don’t want to block interaction with someone just because I disliked one aspect of what they post/comment. I mean if you have that moment multiple times with someone (or if it’s really bad), understandable.

The case: to me, a downvote is for something not worth a reply. Something I think is not beneficial (or has a context issue) that will likely not be changed with a response. Particularly if it seems in bad faith/taste (especially one I’ve seen before).

The opposite is also true, If it is worth a reply it probably isn’t worth a downvote.

Though I also think about votes within their context, where I think the number should be. Which means I may refrain or even retract a downvote, given how others vote. Similarly I may upvote something I otherwise wouldn’t.

Depends on how low your expectations are:

Granted it’s 7:30am, legally distinct, and I believe them bones are me.

I’d probably do a genre mix (3rd-person, themed boomer shooter?) if I had that capability, but I would probably struggle with with maps, writing, and just scope in general.
