Weird #3dPrinting question I've been thinking about.
Would the left side print faster? (Assume that both discs in the photo below are the same diameter and height.)
My assumption is that it would. The print head could accelerate during the chunky segments but the right side would be constantly changing directions, so no acceleration.
If it would be measurably faster, I'm not sure. I need to do some testing, but it's interesting to go against years of optimization in the other direction.
@chrishuck right. I think I’ve met this problem.
When you have two different geometries joining with different with a different number of facets you get some pretty strange problems. The corners can’t quite align. In a 3d print? Not a problem. I can see in industrial applications it could be a big ass problem if it wasn’t just an artifact of an image quality setting.
(I actually like the look of lower facets in some more shiny filaments like this example)
Fortunately, it’s just a graphical artifact. When it happens, I usually just turn up the quality setting from the default until it looks right. We’re not talking complex geometry here, usually just cylinders.
I never really thought about it on the printing side because I’ve been using STEP files for so long in slicers and also running my G-code through ArcWelder to produce true circular moves. It could definitely be a problem otherwise!
In the age of chatbots, fae start having trouble having taken too many fake names through phonecalls, like a magical stomachache that doesn't get better by puking rainbows.
Now you can threaten them with _another more name, it's free_ and make them run away.

The early cross cultural marriages between Chinese men & Indigenous women occurred more often back in the gold rush & railroad building days because Canada had the head tax on Chinese people & also it was mostly men allowed to come here to work. There were very few Chinese women allowed to come into Canada. The Chinese men worked for basically colonial slave wages, like Indigenous workers - both were paid far less, for same work, as their white coworkers.

"Our caucus is unified," says Schumer.
Team Fight has won the CR battle in the Senate Democratic caucus.
Semafor:
Schumer on Senate floor: "Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path"
"Because of that Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR. Our caucus is unified" on the month-long CR #DemocratsInArray

ADDITIONAL POINT: I've now heard this independently from enough sources that I think it's true. A big driver of the Yes faction in the Senate Ds is the idea that a shutdown will slow down the court cases. When first heard this a couple days ago I thought youv'e got to be friggin' kidding. REALLY?

Linux Is Best
in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •Floorp is what I recommend to people, who insist on sticking with Firefox.
As you pointed out, the obvious, if Firefox goes, so will all these many Firefox clones, because none of them have expressed interest in hard-forking Firefox, and going independent.
But, Floorp has two advantages.
1) They do not break things. LibreWolf, will break something (often), then blame Firefox. Which only further hurts, Firefox, which in turn only hurts, LibreWolf. -- It is a snake eating its tail. I think the 1x Floorp broke something, they patched it right away, and they owned up to their issue. They did not try to pass the blame, as LibreWolf does.
2) Floorp is very similar to Vivaldi Browser. If Firefox, goes, it would be nice not to have a big learning curve, if you need to switch browsers. If you've learned Floorp, you've more or less learned, Vivaldi, in many ways.
These are two things, I believe can help users in the long run.

in reply to Linux Is Best • • •@Linux floorp is a nice browser, if somewhat needing a lot of tweaks. I use it as part of my isolated browsing system
Librewolf is my main personal browser and it hasn't really broken anything for me. I don't use it for streaming services or anything requiring DRM
There is 1 site that is buggy (canva) in librewolf (i use floorp for that) but everything else is fine so I don't know what people who have big problems with it are trying to do other than using DRM services
