Actually, now I'm thinking it's a 317. We might have a perfect match! I'll have to check when I have access to it.
Fun fact: I actually had to use it to debug something on the earliest Owl proof-of-concept.

I'm going from memory at the moment, but I think mine is Type 316. It definitely looks very much like those 317 photos.

All the modern overly complex languages/frameworks that "make everything easy and safe" (once you learn their immense complexity and succumb to their ridiculously long syntax). Working on a Kotlin project right now...

I used to believe that too, but just look at covid, it kind of proved that for many people even direct evidence won't make them cross their tribe (or get them to risk losing their power).

Here's a story to maybe make you feel better about filament consumption: I had to replace a couple of rollers on my dishwasher's upper rack, a quick print in ABS did the job (needed for temperature). Compared to replacing the whole rack or the dishwasher, this was a great save!

If you're not already, use PLA for everything that doesn't need something w/ stronger mechanical properties. It still takes a long time for it to biodegrade naturally (not in a plant made to degrade it), but it's way way less time than oil-based plastics.

Totally understand. My friend Ernie (who you may know from music) has that struggle too, so I've been hearing it for years. :)

Oh fun, I fell into your posts because I saw you post an accurate thing about VCs and then I clicked into this post and saw the photo of your band and the masks cannot be forgotten, I saw you play at last year's porchfest. Was fun!

Oops, I see you're looking for a vendor, not a reader. A new vendor would be nice too. Bookshop.org seems interesting. I haven't looked at what they have, but I listened to a nice Decoder podcast about them.
Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.
An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

Tried this tonight in honor of the Superbowl and it was awesome! Thanks for posting!
FWIW, I did chicken tenders at 425F and it was done and fantastic in 15 minutes.
