  • Canada’s National Observer asked the NDP for comment on the situation and later that day posed the question to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in a virtual press conference on April 22.

    Singh did not directly respond to Canada’s National Observer’s question, nor its follow-up question about the Green Party’s complaint.

    Instead he said many strategic voting websites regularly promote the Liberal Party and that “if you want to stop Conservatives, vote New Democrat. If you also want someone that's going to … stop liberals like Mark Carney from cutting the things that you need, vote New Democrat.”

    An hour later, an NDP spokesperson contacted Canada’s National Observer but did not offer a statement. Instead, they sent information “on background” — indicating it shouldn’t be attributed to the NDP — that pointed out the federal Green Party was sanctioned by Elections Canada in 2016, and said “that website isn’t ours.”

    Gotta say I'm unhappy that I'm disappointed in the Federal NDP again, the whataboutism around the green party being sanctioned almost a decade ago is maybe tangentially relevant, but that feels they're more trying to cast doubt on the green's poll. Your candidate linked to the website, it doesn't matter if it's yours, its part of your party's official communication. I don't love that Singh (or any politician for that matter but I align closest historically with the NDP so I'll be critical) seemingly didn't address the questions during the press conference either.

    There's something about the current NDP priorities I don't love, while I totally acknowledge their work on pharmacare, ban on scab labour and dental (and understand why they tore up the supply & confidence agreement over back to work), I started being disappointed back when they held back 100% of campaign rebates, I've personally noticed less and less riding level activity from then as well. I don't love that they're supporting S-210, I know a bunch of people who started listening to the NDP specifically because they were pretty adamant in their support for privacy. It's a lot of small things but yeah, they add up.

  • I'm just happy to still be considered young lol.

    My circle, most want the Feds to do more with what they can, but largely place blame on provinces & municipalities for housing & rent, Ontario removed rent controls for units built after 2018 when the pcpo formed government as one example. The lower levels of government have a larger impact on your day to day and yet have the lowest engagement, my (ndp) MPP even sent out a "this level of government is responsible for this" magnet with numbers and departments of it to (I think) help address that.

  • Yeah that's my understanding too.

    I used to get ones from the Tories a few years back, looks only (ignoring content) this is somehow tamer, those looked like Peter Popov mailers complete with the random fake pencil scrawls in the margins, highlighting and blue ink underlining.

  • As far as I recall, egg freezes, it dead. Always checked my hauling zones after I accidentally killed some dinosaur eggs (pretty sure it's the same behaviour in vanilla)

    Should reinstall anyhow, actually really liked anomaly!

  • That's pretty much how I'd expect it to go yeah, every electrician I've worked with has been super particular about wiring. Even having done my own in-field bodges on wire looms for equipment (just splicing a wire because I didn't have an available spare or time to redo the harness) it doesn't stick out, especially after all the cable wrap or zip ties.

  • Trying to be vague as heck in the spoilers, totally get it! Don't think there's anything there that's super spoilery (I hope!) But definitely play it safe.

    Fingers crossed next run, as for the item there's a

    ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler ways to manipulate it or influence like the chess puzzle, but my drafts suuuuuucked, just weight rooms and archives constantly or dead ends as my choice. Probably not running an optimal strategy but was kinda hard to do when I had no other options. Would get screwed over constantly trying to power the lab too. :::
    Got tedious/frustrating at times but did overall enjoy it.

  • This isn't even borrowed from the yanks, look back at shit the Tories said during the Harper years, it's literally exactly the same rhetoric, there's a clip on CBC from years ago with Pierre talking about the Omar Khadr supreme court ruling and dude was saying shit like "this is a matter for the democratically elected government, not the courts".

    While I get the overlap, we shouldn't downplay our own shit, we've been perfectly capable of having a christofacist party on our own, and exporting it globally (Gaven McInnes - Canadian, worked with the rebel, Jordan Peterson, Harper has been involved with the IDU, Preston Manning's takeover of the Conservatives was cited as an inspiration for Nigel Farage)

  • Straight arch works great with nvidia cards, gaming was my last hitch too, only thing I really miss is HDR in games, but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to have (had bad times with gamescope and nvidia, I'm content to leave it alone for now, things change rapidly anyhow)

  • My tepid take, every poll should report with error bars, would help somewhat, like I know they report moe but still, visual would be best to convey that quickly.

    Doesn't help that in my experience, people just don't have a great grasp on statistics, was a common complaint of a statistician friend I worked with for years. As to why, stats specific courses weren't required when I went to highschool, I hope that's changed.

  • Says a lot that it can run pretty much maintenance free for a year and a half! I only had issues with my mk3s doing daily enclosed abs prints in the summer, the original petg softened and it ended up killing the idler end of the x axis (idler mount deformed suddenly under tension after like... 1-2 months of that). They may not be the fastest or fanciest but they're easy to service and in my experience pretty reliable, I repacked the linear bearings after a year or so out of precaution when I did a full rebuild, but I don't expect needing to do that for a long time.

    Here's another prusa article for infill patterns, the prusa knowledge base is really decent and applicable to a variety of printers, I use my voron a lot but still refer to it.

  • Yeah, usually I do 10mg edibles and those are more than enough for me any given day if I want to be functional (and even then it can be too much), I'll occasionally do more but it's not all at once, have hours between. Did 40mg once and yeah wow, 0/10 would not recommend, pretty much exactly what you described, I think frame of mind makes some difference because I did it knowingly so didn't have that anxiety/dread that something was wrong (which I find it can totally amplify, it's partly why my partner sticks solely with cbd products), just had to ride it out, ended up just sleeping it off.

  • Grid infill is crossing, get a decent blob or buildup and you could have nozzle collision, I personally like gyroid but it is slower.

    Had a similar failure on the mk3s, what does the belt tension test return? Stealth mode may help or be the cause, anecdotally I've seen mention of motor temps, the old rambo board running stock firmware they got toasty when printing in the enclosure in the summer, stealth helped me limp it along until I did a board swap and changed to klipper. I don't know if this is an issue with the mk4 as that's not using the older Rambo based boards, but something to consider as well, had it happen even after I did the first abs rebuild.

    Edit: too tight can also cause issues, not necessarily skipping but having it trigger the virtual endstop, prusa has an article for troubleshooting layer shifting. Also probably with checking both axis to ensure they're smooth and consistent across travel, seen an over tight x carriage back cause too much resistance and have false triggers.

  • I've had fruit flies before that must have come in on some produce, have to be on it to clear them, leave out any fruit/veg scraps and they come out (out being tossed in the trash/green bin too, anything open air). Drop of dish soap, water and vinegar in a high walled glass or jar is the way to do it, I used balsamic but malt or wine vinegar works too, just leave that out and it'll do its job.

    My current place we jokingly call the spider house, have a bunch of house spiders around (cats love them) and a few orb-weavers, garden and wolf spiders outside, pretty much anything native isn't a threat to humans or cats, they do a great job of taking out any pests, rarely see flies inside these days. Spiders and centipedes I'll leave alone, they're beneficial to have around.

  • I'll third it, I used Solidworks before, freecad was fairly easy to adapt to before the 1.0 release, workflow is even nicer now, trying to convince my dad to move to freecad over paying for a sw subscription now that he's retired.

  • Yeah, I've got comments mirroring that, Harper should be to the Tories what Bob Rae is to the ONDP. Probably sticks out to me because I was just old enough to start voting during those years, that wasn't that long ago though, like I know memories are short in politics but I'd not be running with a Harper cabinet minister if I were them.

  • I'm not sure how bambu studio does it (use prusa/superslicer) but chiming in because I was trying to figure this out last year doing a large ish batch of keychains for a friend and was fighting a bit with it, probably is a way of doing it all in freecad but the image was my biggest issue.

    I ended up doing things in blender to subtract the image and the slicer itself, did a text object, positioned it where I wanted, merged the objects and marked the text as a negative volume (think that's the term, might be subtract) so it was subtracted when I sliced it, might help in your case?

    Hudson's Bay Company is nearly $1B in debt, with court filings painting dire financial portrait

    Experts say that Hudson's Bay had been in decline long before then, some tracing its issues back to its 2008 acquisition by the American investment firm NRDC Equity Partners, and saying that the company's new ownership prioritized its real estate over a cohesive retail strategy.

    Emphasis mine.

    Canadian 3D printing Supplies

    Figured I'd contribute with resources I've used and found really solid, not everything is made in Canada but all are Canadian businesses with fantastic customer service.

    Filament

    • Matter3D Langford BC based manufacturer, they make some solid quality filament and promote themselves as engineering grade material. Their abs has low odor, petg prints really well, haven't tried their nylon yet but I have a few spools to work with. Their prices are extremely reasonable and they have regular sales, my go to supplier

    Parts, kits, etc.

    • Spool3D Calgary AB based store, Canada wide through canpost for free over $140. I live in Ontario, but most of my purchases are from them, solid selection of material, parts and accessories. My voron was sourced with parts 90% from here, they also have solid filament, sell garolite sheets too for a build surface (trying to move away from using builtak, they're a solid product but I won't be

    Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney says he'd run a deficit to 'invest and grow' Canada's economy

    The intent, Carney said during an interview on Rosemary Barton Live, is to invest in Canada's economy "at a time when we absolutely have to build as a country."

    The taxpayer dollars would "catalyze many multiples of private dollars" to build homes, energy infrastructure, AI systems and trade corridors — "all of which are fundamentally necessary if we are going to grow this economy, irrespective of how President Trump is feeling on one day or another," Carney said.

    Carney also said a federal government led by him would balance its operational spending — such as government-run programs, federal transfers to provinces and territories and debt service charges — over the course of the next three years.

    Trudeau announces Canada-U.S. Economic Summit for Friday

    Sounds like it's focused on internal trade and global investment, I know 30 days isn't a long time, but maybe we can be better prepared, reducing our reliance on the yanks certainly seems to have public support so there's that.

    Poilievre promises to hit fentanyl 'kingpins' with mandatory life sentences

    Because mandatory minimums work to deter crime and totally haven't been struck down in the past or anything right?

    20mg - 15 years, 40mg is life and Pierre's mentioned using the notwithstanding clause to pass stuff like this in the past.

    Paper mentioned in article can be found here.

    Annealing prints has been something I've wanting to do more of, probably with proper temperature control as my experience has has more waste than I'd like, mainly warping.

    Paper claims some pretty dramatic improvements to interlayer strength, they're running filament through a bath before entering the extruder, not sure how accessible the entire thing would be in a hobbyist environment (using chloroform and specialised microwave equipment). Makes me wonder however if carbon fibre filaments would be able to be processed similarly, how well it'd perform with stuff like abs or nylon and if you could achieve that with consumer microwaves.

    Curta'n Wall - A New Castle is Born (Folk/Black Metal, USA, 2022)

    Bandcamp Metallum

    New album out, this album is stupidly catchy. It's a mix of medieval folk and black metal, it's cheesy and I've been loving it.

    Fecundation - The conclamation (Brutal/Technical Death - Korea/Japan 2024)

    Bandcamp for the album, Metallum for the band I'm not usually the biggest modern tech death person, but there was just something about this album that did it for me. Entire album is just under 28 minutes, definitely recommend a listen.

    Recommendations for STL sculpting tools or guides (FLOSS preferred)

    Quick question to the community, does anyone have some good tools to sculpt stls or step files?

    Context, I'm working on some decorative keychains and have a vector image and text I want to add to the base object. I've used aolidworks for both in the past with alright results but I've switched over to freecad this year, haven't had a lot of luck adding in there, vector image is a tracing of a dog that I was provided, it's simplified but still has a lot of components.

    I did look into blender but be honest I'm totally lost using it and have no clue what I'm doing coming from parametric modeling, I'm not an artist at all, my comfort zone is functional parts usually, but was approached by a friend. I did do some mockups in prusa/superslicer where I've added my image and text as negative volumes and merged into a single part. It works but it feels like a really hacky workaround (relevant XKCD) and would prefer to do it right. Any suggestions or resources would be

    FYI - Octoprint (with a plugin) and Klipper support cancelling individual objects while printing

    Just as an FYI because it's saved me grief in the past, both klipper and octoprint can be setup to exclude certain objects while printing. You need to setup your slicer to provide gcode that enables the feature, but it allows you to stop printing a bad object, can reduce wastage in the case where only one part has failed but the others are ok.

    Prusa/Superslicer are what I have experience using it with, I used a preprocessing script to output compatable gcode but apparently there's a label objects option directly in both slicers, the klipper link below goes over enabling that feature.

    AFAIK Octoprint needs a Plugin
    Klipper has native support
