You can't outright, but you can at least try to minimize your exposure. Easiest way is to avoid buying products that use plastic packaging, especially if the product that you're planning to buy is food. Don't microwave plastics, even the supposedly "food safe" one - that releases a ton of microplastics into your food. Don't order takeout - again, lots of plastic in the containers. Even paper food containers contain a plastic coating.

Don't touch receipts, especially with wet hands. Or at minimum, wash your hands thoroughly after touching it

Looks like it's carrying its babies on its back. That's probably a wolf spider mom

I find that it's best to use 65C for the bed temperature for the first couple of layers, and then drop the temperature to 50C. If you're using Cura, there should be an option to do that, but you'll need to dig through the advanced settings to find it. Doing this has completely solved warping for me (Ender 3 Pro v1 with PLA filament). My understanding is that it works because the temperature differential between the top and bottom layers causes a pulling force that causes the warping that you see. I think it's something about the expansion of the plastic due to heat - as the plastic cools down, it shrinks, which pulls the layer below it upward. The wider the base, the stronger the pulling force. And the more layers you add, the more the pulling force compounds, until eventually the print warps.

The solution is simple - minimize the temperature differential. You really only need it to be hot on the initial layer, for the print to stick properly. And afterward you only need to maintain a temp that's just hot enough that the print doesn't pop off. Hence, 65C initial, 50C for everything else afterward

Probably less relevant, but I also find that adhesion improves if you have the printer go at half speed for the first couple of layers. Again, there should be a setting in Cura, but it's in the advanced settings

I find that I can just use these 2 modifications and everything just works. No need for glue. I just dust off the bed when it gets dusty but beyond that, I don't mess with it. Actually, the adhesion is quite strong. Even after the bed has cooled to room temperature, I have to exert a bit of force to pull the print off the bed

Strange, I seem to remember a 3rd GPU manufacturer, who competes with Nvidia and is significantly more entrenched in the GPU market space than Intel... I wonder what that could be...

Scientists can get really petty in peer review. They won't be able to catch if the data was manipulated or faked, but they'll be able to catch everything else. Things such as inconclusive or unconvincing data, wrongful assumptions, missing data that would complement and further prove the conclusion, or even trivial things such as a sentence being unclear.

It generally works as long as you can trust that the author isn't dishonest

Haribo sugarless gummy bears have a strong laxative effect. I'd say that's a pretty strong contender

I just stumbled across one. Hopefully having the actual wording will help you pin down the specific variation that you're looking for

I feel like I've read that before, but it wasn't about linux. Must be a copypasta at this point

I don't particularly like the layout of libreoffice, but I find that onlyoffice works for me. Not as feature rich, I suspect, but it doesn't disrupt my workflow due to how similar it is to Microsoft Office

Best laptop I've had so far, but they're quite expensive for their performance tier. The expectation is that you'd never replace it, so theoretically the cost pays itself off over time, but that would assume that you are able and willing to do that sort of long term maintenance.

Basically, I would only recommend it if you were a tinkerer.

It doesn't run well on the steam deck, but I generally am able to get 40-50 fps. I capped GPU clock to 1200 MHz, and that seems to help a bit
