There are methodical ways of valuating a private (and public) company. Some are pessimistic and some are wildly optimistic. Your can legally use whichever one you want, only you must only use that valuation method for everything. It's illegal to value the company low for taxes and high for loan collateral. And if you sell it, you can owe back taxes if your valuation was off (sale price is the new valuation).

This is overly-simplified US accounting rules (from finance class 10 years ago)

He took it private so, although there can be shares, they aren't traded on the open market. So no positions to short.

Minors can't sign a contract. Their parents have to sign for them. Maybe that's related?

If you have a filament runout sensor, the klipper default settings aren't great. If the sensor activates, the printer shuts down after about an hour, losing your home position. With a part on the bed, you can't re-home, so it's a wasted print.

The mesh leveling isn't automatic either. You might want to add either auto-load your default mesh leveling if you always use the same print surface, or put mesh leveling codes in the starting G-code section of your slicer.

I ran the pressure advance tuning and found that I needed a ton of pressure advance. My prints turned out much better.

I also got improvements by reducing the allowable deviation in the slicer (G-code files get much bigger, though), and I load files as STEP files directly in Prusaslicer. STL doesn't have curves, it's a series of planes. STEP files have geometric primitives and can have curves.

I also would like to know. My Moto G 5G suddenly lost fingerprint reader (as in, it's not even an option in settings anymore) and I think I need to reflash it.

"Also I asked the prosecutor what they considered 'sex' during this trial and it technically didn't include oral or digital sex and I'm an attorney and thought I'd weasel my way out of this on a technicality even though when the news leaked, it turns out almost everyone considers oral sex to be sex."

Out of curiosity, have you watched the Simpsons recently? I think, after season 31 or 32, it started getting better again. There are some really great episodes from two seasons ago.

The latest season of Futurama had two good episodes, but the rest were kind of weak. About the same level as season 9-10(Hulu season numbering). Those seasons were "meh" mostly but with three really amazing episodes (Free Will Hunting, Game of Tones, Meanwhile).

I watched Futurama trying to stay sane in grad school, as it was released on DVD. It's straight-up comforting to watch now. Watching it when I'm stressed connects me emotionally to almost 20 years ago. I was stressed then but I made it out ok.

Seriously? I was looking at a Surface product recently, and it appeared to have an access panel for the NVME drive. I read a ton of complaints about the dimensions of the drive being unusual, but access to it was easy. I don't think I was looking at a Surface pro though.

If a surface pro wants to be a full OS and not a tablet OS, it should be easy to replace the storage device.

Ah ok. That's probably true. I was under the impression that a polymer that is solid at room temperature is a plastic.

A politician and a political party has two domains they operate in: policy and governance. Policy is where a politician stands on issues, and typically where almost all of the campaigning happens. Where does this politician stand on healthcare, gun control, environment, etc.

But governance is as important, both for the individual and for the political party. For the politician: can they build consensus? Can they prevent alienating their constituents. Can they set goals that are big, but achievable. And for the political party, governance is how well they develop their members. Identifying who fits best in each elected position. How to help members gain experience for other offices. How to identify up-and-coming politicians.

The GOP is currently experiencing a failure of governance. The HOR is unable to operate because the GOP can't effectively govern. And time is ticking on one of the core HOR duties: approving the budget. The GOP is not getting high quality people into the correct positions, and has too many obstinate people in place to govern.

Cellulose, starch, and chitin are all sugar polymers in plants and crustaceans (may be a broader group, I used chitosan from crustaceans though).

In mammals, collagen is a polymer. It's like 30% of a humans non-water weight. Bones are composites that are tough collagen binding hard and strong fibers of apatite (mostly calcium apatite/ hydroxyapatite). I don't think the apatite system is considered a polymer, though.

Triglycerides aren't polymers in adipose tissue. Although plant triglycerides can split and polymerize. Which make beautiful wood stains.

This looks like it would work with any E3D V6 heat break, right?

After CNC Kitchen's review of the orbiter, I want to add one to my CR-10 V2. Its OEM heat break is an E3D V6 design.
