That was really good. It’s something I hadn’t given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn’t exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn’t really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.
The big issue for long term storage and exposure to moisture is hydrolysis, in which over time water molecules infiltrate and alter the polymer chains of the filament, causing the mechanical properties to degrade. Hydrolysis is, to the best of my knowledge, not reversible by simply driving the filament as the water molecules become incorporated into the polymer chain.
That said, simply storing your filament in your vacuum bags and tossing in some dessicant pouches before you seal it should drastically increase the time you can store filament before running the risk of it degrading noticeably.
Personally I just have a large plastic bin with a rechargeable dessicant device that keeps things relatively dry and I haven’t had any issues storing filament long term.
I enjoyed it overall, but I feel like the >!Steel Brotherhood storyline!< was probably the weakest part. Walton Goggins was excellent though, and feel like he definitely nailed it.
I would say I’m curious rather than excited, I’m not getting my hopes up yet but I’ll definitely give it a chance.
Kanedaaa
If you’re going to cherry pick one of his movies to make some sort of point you could at least pick his lowest rated film (Space Jam: A New Legacy). Most of Coogler’s films score well with both critics and audiences so I think it’s fine to wait and see before getting too excited.
I don’t think Orks are that worried about grammar…
I’m sure there are niche users for who paying the price of admission is acceptable, but for myself and I assume a vast number of other users, when I’m comparing performance of hardware I’m already checking reviews on multiple other sites, so this will only mean I don’t bother to check their site.
I haven’t visited their site in a long time though, so I’m not sure what value-adds they offered that might make the price more palatable.
NSW Police are a complete joke, if it’s not strip searching minors it’s just good old corruption.
Glad you enjoyed it, there’s some wild stories he has covered. Another favourite of a similar vein is the multipart episode on the early Xbox hacking scene: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/45/
Anyone interested in diving deep into the rabbit hole on Team Xecuter and Gary, I highly recommend the Darknet Diaries episode in which Jack interviews Gary and goes through the history.
A couple of random suggestions:
Summoning Salt - Video essays detailing world record speedrun history across a variety of games. Videos are easy to understand and assume you aren’t intimately familiar with the games in question. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg
RRC Restorations - A Scottish bloke that does really in depth restorations of mostly cars and motorcycles, very relaxing and a joy to watch without any flashy filter. Just a super talented guy doing cool things in his little workshop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSjy4OciLs
Motion in Art - Film essays similar to some of your other favourites that might be of interest.
Art Deco - Analysis, investigation and explanation of art, including the history and context in which paintings were made, themes and motifs, and details that you almost certainly missed when looking at art as a layperson. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3hM6Qw8Nf4
Fredrik Knudsen - Making the series Down The Rabbithole, which are dives into a variety of topics, including tech and history. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg
Lemmino - Video essays on conspiracies and mysteries, all are very interesting and worth watching. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5u7euN1HTuU
Some ones that jump immediately to mind:
Reacher Season 2 - Watched the first 3 episodes and not enjoying it as much as the first season. Alan Ritchson is still a great Teacher, just the story this time is a bit of a departure, will still see if through as it’s not bad.
Justified - Working my way through the 6th season before I watch City Primeval, it’s definitely formulaic but Goggins and Olyphant are excellent. Especially enjoying Crowder as an antagonist.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Pushing through because of the kaiju, but the series makes the same mistake as some of the modern western Godzilla films and has way too much human drama. Will probably finish it at some point but won’t continue if there’s any future seasons unless the reviews are any good.
This was such a fun game, not too long, great music and the boss fights were such a cool style. Highly recommend everyone give it a go.
If your smart tv is android based you can try side loading Smart Tube, which integrates ad block, sponsor block and a whole pile of QoL settings you can tweak to suit you.
Interested to see where that data comes from, as looking at the lifetime emissions of an EV vs an ICE vehicle inclusive of fuel EVs are generally significantly lower emissions. If you’re only considering the emissions associated with the manufacture of the vehicles, EVs do result in more GHG, but very quickly once both vehicles are actually in use the benefits of EVs become apparent.
This is a huge letdown, this was a really great series. I wonder if there’s potential for anyone else to pick it up for season 4.
