@redrose_anna Good morning

good morning

@davepl1968 The year surge came out computers were shipping with 3GB hard drives

Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier. This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!

@Qynton Some need batteries but I'm seeing normal deer movement for this time of year

@3DPrintNick How are the animal cams?

And you have irrefutable proof? 🤔

@lnlyisthemuse I din do it

There’s two sides to every story, but there’s also these screenshots I’ve got so…

@SnarkyPotatoes Lightning storm? I'm 1000 miles away this weekend, because that's what happens when you pass through Minnesota 😂

@3DPrintNick We're in the hotel parking lot and watching the lightning storm in the distance now. This is perfect.

Minnesota is beautiful once you lose the windmills

@Mellypaw21 Eat a bunch and inhale through your mouth and then breath out your nose really fast

I despise peas but I love these things. 🔥 🤣🤣

@scs_real One little motion and he won't even know it's on purpose

Soon to be injured by controlled violence

@AzzyDesignWorks @josefprusa @Mojee3d @Prusa3D Yeah they'll flood you out with money before you can even get to trial

15 years ago, I was told to have $15,000 on hand to fight each domestic infringement for a patent. Its probably triple now. And to get a Chinese patent, its really only happening for Chinese nationals. While you fight it, they will crank out millions, and move onto the next product like locusts in a field. By the time you win, you are millions in the hole. the USPTO needs fixing, and our "lawmakers" need to get off of the $$ influence that comes from companies that reply on China for all of their manufacturing and stock margins. Because I can tell you for a fact (from experience) that out own federal agencies have little to no desire or tools to fight knockoffs. Especially with companies like Amazon tied to federal contracts.

I have receieved a LOT of DM's about this. Some in agreement, some in disagreement, and then everything in between. My point for the OG post and the poll is this...what IF? Right? What IF, you lived in Wyoming, Florida, or some place in Europe and you could purchase a @Prusa3D Core One+ fully assembled, with a built in camera and filtration, for $899 + a moderate shipping fee? Would an amazing printer like this, with those features, at that price, cause you to pick this over a @BambulabGlobal P2S or X2D? The current trending dicussion in 3DP is how BAD Bambu is, and rightfully so, they make thier own bed. But, the alternatives are more of the same, or a more open source friendly alternative that is significanly more expensive. But, what IF, that open source friendly, ethical company, Prusa, was at a price that most people found obtainable? #Hope

@scs_real It's no secret 😂

Secretly?

without telling me your age what's the first video game you ever played gifs only ✨✨

@redrose_anna I can't even use them, they're triggered by me all the time

Do I even need a stud finder?

@SnarkyPotatoes Yes And because tractors aren't supposed to use the freeways

@3DPrintNick Is it because the Somalians don't know how to drive?

Also Minnesota: "speed limit 70, minimum 40." Me: Bitch, you go under 70 and you're gonna get hit.

@Johnneh_80 @janefkndoe @AverageSizeAndy Should be called Canadian It comes from Canada. Can-a-duh

@janefkndoe @AverageSizeAndy My kids demand Pepperoni. The daughter child loves Hawaiian

MREs are lame.

@SnarkyPotatoes 😂

@3DPrintNick Not really though since Minnesota isn't the destination 😂

@SnarkyPotatoes I could have saved you a trip for that info

@3DPrintNick Your state is dumb. Pretty, but dumb.

What the fuck with all the windmills littering the skyline, Minnesota?
