People like this should be treated the same as parents who drive their kids without car seats and seat belts.

Need more information to properly diagnose. Is this a new issue? Are you using auto build leveling for every print? Have you tried cleaning everything and rerunning the system calibration? A lot of different things can cause similar issues and it's hard to diagnose from images alone.

No, he's going to solve climate change.

To be fair Trump did end school shooting for awhile. It just took a pandemic.

I have a PhD, I work in biotech and have been working on obtaining state and federal grants with University Minnesota. Indirects are like 55-60% for land grant institutions that don't have to pay for the property they operate on, additionally they have nearly 40k undergrads paying 17-38k a year in tuition. So the scope of the research and the staff we can budget for comes from the 40-45% remaining, this includes funding techs, post docs, and the personnel that directly run the projects.

No I didn't vote for these fools, and exponentially more damage than good is coming, and I'm good friends with postdocs who are getting screwed in real time by this nonsense.

Paying people to review articles is just going to make things worse. The real problem is open access. In the current system the author of the manuscript has to pay to publish it, and the publisher turns around and asks readers to pay to access it. Its a scam. If research was conducted with any public money the knowledge generated should be public. This is why Elsevier needs to go. If you saw how much money institutions have to pump into these useless publishers to get access to knowledge funded by the public for the public there would be more outrage.

Why would anyone quit adult daycare? Unless they are in the content moderation mines in Africa getting ptsd from seeing the horrors of humanity.

Vegas floods almost every time it rains. Sometimes it floods when it rains nearby like on Mt Charleston. I've nearly avoided flash floods hiking in red rock canyon, and seen people on the news get killed in washes on a regular basis. I trust the casinos to care more about their victims than president Elon.

The extension life

When I lived in Pittsburgh we had daily brownouts, I lived in 3 different rentals in three different neighborhoods and almost every day my lights would dim then brighten. It killed so many cheap Walmart LEDs, but I never lost any computer equipment because I had a UPS for every device. I wouldn't get them from the garbage room at the university, and occasionally buy them from thrift stores and replace the batteries.
