@BambulabGlobal I’ll finally feel good printing the models my son designs. They mix so many colors on every layer that we’ve filled entire gallon bags with poop. But they’re special because he designed them, and that gives us something to do together.

With H2C, the limit is no longer the colors you can paint by hand, but the ideas you can imagine.🎨 Up to 7 colors in a single print and 24 in total, meaning those hours of hand-painting might finally become history. 🖌️ To celebrate the launch, we’re giving away our first H2C AMS Combo! 🎁 Tell us how H2C would change the way you bring your multi-color ideas to life: 1️⃣ Follow us 2️⃣ Like & Repost 🔁 3️⃣ Comment: Which project will you finally be able to print instead of hand-paint? 💬 📅 One winner will be randomly selected and announced on December 2. H2C turns “I wish I could print that” into reality. Let’s paint the future, one print at a time. ✨ store.bambulab.com/products/h2c #H2C #BambuLab #3DPrinting #PrintBeyondPaint

@asmartbear Renting a car and making the drive up to whistler is totally worth it. Beautiful!

Vancouver friends! Seeking recommendations for fun things to do with a high-school daughter, and can't-miss restaurants (besides Vij's, which I already have a reservation for!). Thank you in advance for tips!

Hyper Aggro 🟡🟣 v5 is here! The biggest changes are removing Snakes, Pinocchio, and Rapunzel's Towers, and here are the thoughts on that! #Lorcana - For Snakes, they honestly just felt redundant. The only card you truly want to bounce is Goat, which happens rarely I've found. And in the early game when you're trying to get a bunch of characters to play down Snake feels awful. - Then for Towers they were great when the aggro matchup was still being figured out for most decks, but now it can be handled rather easily, so it felt like it wasn't putting in as much work as before. - And for Pinocchio the one willpower didn't really feel great for a two drop, which I'll explain... - The replacements! 4 pascal because I think this card is still incredibly good. Behind a bodyguard and a few other characters this guy won't be leaving unless of steel shenanigans. Then 2 Wendy Darling, I'd rather trade Pinocchio's 3 lore for Wendy's two when she had 3 willpower and is inkable. And then 2 Library's because drawing stupid amount of cards is fun. Will keep updating y'all as this goes along!

So… more than 30 minutes late on a @PapaJohns order I placed over 4 hours before I needed it. Store manager said “we were busy”… what exactly is the point of ordering in advance…

For the past four years it’s been my job - nay, my PLEASURE - to be the tweeter behind the @OKWildlifeDept account. This is my final post. It’s been my absolute honor to roast and ratio some of you into the ground in the name of science. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: 🧵
Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation@OKWildlifeDept

DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE. IF YOU’RE GOING TO SHARE A DONUT - AT LEAST ASK US IF WE WANT IT FIRST. BECAUSE WE DO. WE LOVE DONUTS. DO NOT GIVE IT TO WILDLIFE - IT IS BAD FOR THEM - AND IT ALSO MEANS LESS DONUTS FOR US. MAKE BETTER CHOICES.

THIS SUCKS. We're back to having to buy these as soon as the go live or you're SOL. @wizards_magic @MTGSecretLair I preferred when we were moving AWAY from FOMO and not leaning into it. You've got a great product here but we can't even post a review before it's irrelevant

does anyone have intimate knowledge of the car dealership business? every customer hates the experience - why hasn’t someone built a straight forward experience, set their margins to $0 with the goal of killing all their competition?

The Real Mike Rowe
The Real Mike Rowe@mikeroweworks·
Last night in Dallas, after demolishing another world class steak at @PappasBros, I called for a Lyft, which pulled up to the curb a few seconds after I left the restaurant. The driver’s window rolled down and a big man with a white beard looked at me and said, “Mike Rowe?” I nodded, and the man said, “I’m your guy.” As I slid into the back seat, I thought about that expression—I’m your guy. Growing up, I used to hear people say, “I gotta guy for that!” A plumbing emergency, a stump that had to be removed, a leaky roof, clogged gutters…whatever the job, people always “had a guy for that.” Usually, a guy who showed up in a work truck, armed with a toolbox. Well, in this case, my guy showed up in an SUV, armed with a light saber. The light saber was wedged between the console and the passenger’s seat and poked up like a white flagpole. “I can’t help but notice your light saber,” I said to my guy. “Never leave home without it,” he said. “Big Star Wars fan?” I asked. “Nah, but the light saber comes in handy when I'm driving, especially after concerts and sporting events.” “Do tell,” I said. “Well, there’s thousands of black Suburbans out there like this one, and people can’t always read the license plate. So, when I come to pick somebody up after an event after dark, I just tell ‘em to look for the big old, bearded guy in overalls waving around a purple light saber.” With that, my guy pressed a button on the hilt of his toy sword, turning the white tube into a bright purple pipe. “Very clever,” I said. My guy shrugged and said, “Most problems have a simple solution, if you think about ‘em the right way.” My Guy told me his name was Gordon Holmes and pulled a business card from the front pocket of his overalls. He presented it to me with a flourish, and I did a double take when I read it. “Wow,” I said, “you weren’t kidding. You really are My Guy.” “Don’t get too excited,” he said. “I’m everybody’s guy.” “So, what does everybody’s guy do, exactly?” “Whatever needs getting done,” he said. "You name it, I can fix it." “So, you’re like a handy man on call?” “Yeah, but not just handyman stuff,” he said. “Here’s somebody who needed a Santa Claus a few months ago.” My Guy handed me his phone, where I saw a picture of him in a Santa Claus suit with a smiling kid on his lap. “Don’t tell me,” I said, “let me guess. The kid wanted a light saber?” My Guy laughed as we pulled up to the hotel. “That would have been something,” he said. “A kid asks Santa Claus for a light saber, and Santa Claus whips one out on the spot." "Probably would have scared him for life," I said. "Kid would be seventeen and still sending letters to the North Pole." We laughed some more, and when I got out, I said, “Hey, you mind if I see that thing in action? I’d like to share this moment with a few million friends on the Internet.” “No problem,” he said. “In fact, show ‘em my card, too. Always looking for new chores to do.” “You sure about that?” I said. “You’re liable to get more calls than you can handle.” “No calls,” he said. “Just texts and emails.” With that, Gordon hopped out of his Suburban and began to brandish his toy sword. My Guy was right. It’s hard to miss a big man in overalls and a white beard, swinging a purple light saber when the sun goes down...

@maxlynch Yeah, I get that, but isn’t that sort of what the roboadvisors educated people on? Most people who go on Reddit or look around at all get the same “just buy vanguard” advice. In some regards, people like a person… the model is just too expensive.

@maxlynch Wouldn’t this be betterment or some of the other robo advisors? Higher than going to vanguard direct, but lower than a person putting them in index funds. I think the gap is really in getting one-off advice and plans that you can then execute on.

Hey @GE_Appliances our less than 2 year old Cafe fridge had the compressor go out. We're supposed to have a service tech out today, but we haven't heard a thing... is there any way to actually talk to someone?
