It's the same thing in the US. I see C-130's flying in formation and think they're probably training or clocking flight time. OP is using terms like "militarism holidays" which I've never heard anyone use in conversation here, ever. We have "air shows" on patriotic national holidays like Independence day, or Memorial day. At some large sporting events like the NFL Superbowl, or maybe the MLB World Series get "flyovers" over the stadium.
The best upgrade I made for the Ender 3 for adhesion was a PEI coated build plate. I don’t know the specs of the V2, but the brand I went with was “Wham Bam Systems” mine didn’t have a magnetic bed so I had to purchase the kit with the magnetic plate, and stainless steel PEI coated build surface. It was nice being able to pull off the plate and pop prints off of it. Be careful printing PETG on PEI it can fuse to the PEI
If the V2 has some sort of leveling system make sure it’s working correctly or the PEI sheet isn’t really going to help. Mine did not. I had so many failures where the print head crashed into the sheet and gouged it. The Z end stop wasn’t the best. I added a BLTouch probe and flashed the firmware and it got much better.
Creality is good because they brought an entry level 3d printer to market for an affordable price, and people like me got into the hobby because of that. The price point shows in the parts they use to assemble it. I’ve clocked countless hours learning how to correct failures, and upgrade the cheap parts for better, more reliable parts, add features, modify and flash firmware.
Five and a half years ago I bought that ender 3 pro. I think it was around $250 USD. I probably spent over $300 more upgrading it and replacing parts. In retrospect I shouldn’t have cheaped out, but that’s the conclusion I came to. I no longer want to waste time fixing the printer. If I walk away and don’t print anything for weeks/months at a time I’d like to have confidence when I fire it up it’s going to work.
I ordered a Prusa MK4S about a month ago which was the top-end hobbyist printer back then, and I am blown away by the difference. Prusa may not be the top at the moment, but the quality and support is there.
I recommend that unless you have the free time, you’re willing to tinker, and are not easily frustrated, you should look into a higher quality brand.
I’ve never watched any of his videos, but I’ve seen clips. I just can’t do it with the amount of cringe inducing content. The channel shows his last upload was 7 months ago. That’s one hell of a transformation. My first thought is “is this real or some sort of AI filter?” My second thought was what kind of damage did he do to himself in the process of this transformation? Was it “natural” via diet and exercise, or surgery? 7 months and 250 pounds lost (if that can be believed) seems very, very extreme. I don’t even know if with some money and a paid physical trainer with questionable ethics it could be possible. The amount of excess skin would be another thing to consider. He got me to click and watch a couple of minutes so maybe he won the game, but at what cost?
Friday 1995
I’ve got a few of their bundles we’ve played multiple times. Quiz night style games are awesome for a while, but we like to play a more action(?) style of games where you control your character and work together or go off on your own to progress the group.
I thought last train outta worm town was awesome.
Couch co-op is rare these days, but I would like to see more co-op in general. I used to have game nights on Friday night with friends on discord, but we just ran out of good games to play. Limiting factor being how many people can play at the same time. Most of the co-op games we have right now seem to be designed to make you miserable. You’re gonna fail, but how long can you last? I just want to have some fun with 2-6 friends without getting discouraged. One of the best ones we played was “Golf With Your Friends”. I don’t even like golf, but we all could play, no one had to sit out, and we had a blast until it got boring.
Yep. In the style of Trump
This cabinet is truly spectacular—one of the finest you’ll ever see. It's got so many shelves, folks, you wouldn't believe it. Absolutely tremendous. Each shelf is perfectly designed to showcase your prized possessions. Believe me, the craftsmanship is second to none. These shelves are not just shelves; they’re a statement. They’re big, they’re beautiful, and they hold everything perfectly. This cabinet is going to be a tremendous addition to any room—nobody does shelves like this, folks. It’s going to be huge!
Golf clap.

You’re telling me that in the 90 years that this cave has been open to the public, no one on a tour has dropped a piece of trash inside it? I’m assuming food isn’t allowed on the tours through the cave, probably because someone did just this exact same thing.
I’m with the rest of the doom-scrollers. What a horrible human beings. What a pieces of trash, littering in our national parks, but seriously will this be the end of it? Is this article playing it up just a bit too much? Littering in my area is a fine up to $5000.00. Use the system and charge them.
Edit: “Rangers at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southern New Mexico describe it as a “world-changing” event” Motherfucker someone chiseled out rock. Poured concrete for walkways and added steel handrails for fat-sweaty tourists to walk through this bitch. Where is the line for what damages this natural wonder?
Can you imagine the amount of microbes on the hand rails??
