Can't pass an open-book test without reading, and Americans don't read anymore.

Oh, I see -- you mean for models with multiple parts! My first thought was, "Wait... are you saying one should break single things up into pieces? That seems unnecessary!" But most of what I'm modeling is action figure heads, and they're all one piece anyway. 😅

Interesting. For me, those two *feel* pretty close -- even interchangeable, though I mostly get the difference in common usage. (The first time I heard the word "facetious," it was used against me as an insult when the speaker meant something more akin to "sarcastic." In truth, I was being neither!)

Wait, what is YAM and when are they seeing productions at GAC?

I'd settle for a series about what happens down there while Aquaman is away. 😛

Yeah, but your printers are so much better than what some of us have! 😅

I'm also seeing this stuff -- not the cheapest, but it seems potentially effective too!

I am intrigued by this:

I feel like there are solutions that will smooth out resin and other materials, but I don't know of any for PLA. That said, I've not googled it in a while. Hmmmm.

Right -- but we don't want to do the sanding! 😆

Not sure how good telling 'em will do -- I fully expect that very little will come of any of this, hah. I suspect I'll have to dispute the credit card charge.

Can't it? How were you attempting this?

TEMPTING. I still need to look at their computer sales, too...

Did you really like Wicked that much? You can be honest with me...

But I just saw Heretic last night -- if you have as well, I'd be quite curious to hear your thoughts.

I am looking forward to hearing about the awesome things you snagged! (I partly want to go there looking for brown filament, lol.)

I was mainly just trying to figure out the extent to which breathing is a conscious activity for others! But as I ponder it more, I wonder if my processes are really different or if I experience/perceive consciousness somewhat differently. That might track. I keep coming back to the driving analogy.

As much as I get it -- the House investigation into Hunter was a clown show, and who knows what unscrupulousness would happen under a newly emboldened Trump -- this somehow doesn't sit well with me. How can we criticize Trump for self-serving actions when Biden does things like this?

So in those moments I can prioritize the conversation; I might even feel comfortable turning my head to look at the passenger. But if I stop paying attention to the driving, next thing I know I've rammed a pole or a parked car or a shopping cart. And that's when I need to gasp to catch my breath. 😅
