  • I did exactly that to my i3 Mega to attach the magnetic plate directly to the heat plate. I indeed bend the whole thing in the process, fortunately though I was able to fix it (Z-Probe reports a maximum difference of 0.37 now). Don’t recommend though.

    The industrial-grade glue they used is an absolute nightmare. If you choose to go that route definitely get yourself a proper heatgun as well as acetone, a spatula and some safety mask (for the acetone fumes). If you got an oven for tinkering perhaps heating the whole thing up to weaken the glue.

    Leaving the glass plate where it is and putting something new on top definitely is way easier. Not sure I’d do this a second time myself (probably not).



  • I asked my teacher why we were so christianity-centric in the class, we literally never talked about things like Shintoism, Islam and more. She then loudly proclaimed to the class that I “wanted to have an extra (!) block about FOREIGN religions” (of course causing 90% of the class to scream at me - bullying was rampant there anyway). She then smiled at me in the most fucking dense way possible to basically say “see, nobody wants that” and from then on ignored all my protests and just left, ignorantly smiling like the idiot she was.

    We proceeded to not learn anything about them, therefore the only influence we had (since it was the countryside) were the news talking about islamic terrorists.

    Also same about MLK of course. He existed and he had a dream, end of history.

    Western history classes gracefully ignore things like the chinese empires, the golden ages in the arabic world (which oh so happened to be to be during the “dark ages” of Europe and saw science flourish there) and anything that happened on the american continent prior to colonialization (not like we know too much about it given the colonizers’ rampages and targeted cultural destruction). Let alone African history, Indian, South-East Asia, Australia…

    Same of course with religions. But watching that Martin Luther movie three times was definitely important I guess, cause it “changed the whole (!) world”. I fucking hate all of this bullshit.

    Sorry for the rant.




  • Except water becomes incredibly hard if being hit with too much speed. If there’s vegetation next to it and you’re at (or close to) terminal velocity you might want to land there instead. There are confirmed cases of people surviving a fall into vegetation after their parachutes didn’t open.


  • It’s not like there isn’t a middleground. I didn’t see those awful sixpack rings in years, in Germany where I live those sixpacks are packed in cardboard (goes around the sixpack once for stability). Works perfectly fine, and given it’s just paper with a little bit of printer colours (which, technically, could also be done environmentally friendly) there are little to no reasons not to do it this way except for greed. …therefore it isn’t surprising plastic sixpack rings are specifically common in the US, lol.
