Sometimes its easy to lose sight of the individual stories behind the callous 'hostile environment' that the British state presents to migrants... so here is a BBC story about two cases, which show the impact of the policy on individuals & the difficulty of proving their British status.
Its heartbreaking but will also make you angry with the faceless bureaucrats & smug politicians who cause so much pain needlessly!

As someone wrote in a post AI is 90%hype and 10% useful. We have human intelligence. Using AI to compose a letter or write a book is sheer laziness and turning us into zombies. Apart from specialist data mining purposes AI serves little purpose.
@iveyline Where mindless form is required "AI" is just as well an answer as non-compliance. In other words, LLMs can be a high-tech tool of sabotage for Luddites in the socio-technological realm.
so turns out the reason i feel like shit a lot and literally feel like im dying when i exert myself like at all is just high blood pressure
systolic of 143 at rest (mild hypertension) and went up another 30 after just walking up and down the stairs 4 times
and mind you, i only walked the stairs long enough to *start* feeling bad. most times i push myself way beyond that point (other times i only stop once i literally cant anymore and feel like like im about to pass out and/or throw up)
Hey smartwatchgebruikers! Dragen jullie 'm 's nachts? Waarom wel/niet? Zo ja, heeft het merkbaar nut? En wanneer laad je 'm dan op? En als je 'm niet 's nachts draagt, mis je gegevens? En algemeen, helpt een smartwatch je gezondheid vooruit? Ik zoek vooral ervaringen van mede-autisten, en vooral rondom Garmin smartwatches. Maar andere ervaringen zijn ook zeer welkom.
Mijn Garmin laad ik per jaar 12x op, dus kan ik 'm 's nachts omhouden. Grappig om je slaapdata te zien. Maar mijn ega is er geen fan van dat ik 'm 's nachts draag. Je mist alleen je slaapdata dan.
Overigens, denk ook eens na of je al je data (medische gegevens, locatiegegevens, berichten) wil delen met een Amerikaanse server van Garmin. Ik gebruik @gadgetbridge waardoor alles lokaal op mijn smartphone blijft.
Werkt alle functionaliteit van het horloge zelf verder wel als je Gadgetbridge gebruikt? Minus uiteraard de dingen die internet vereisen. Maar ik bedoel meer alle scores, timers, metingen enzo, voorzover die niet al zichtbaar zijn in Gadgetbridge, zijn ze wel zichtbaar op het horloge zelf?
Ja, alle functionaliteit lokaal op het horloge blijft uiteraard gewoon werken. Verder worden door Gadgetbridge ook al veel extra functies ondersteund, zoals weerberichtsynchronisatie, meldingen van de telefoon naar het horloge sturen en GPS-koppeling (verschilt per type Garmin).
@gadgetbridge Ik heb, zodra Gadgetbridge beschikbaar kwam voor Garmin devices, een Garmin Instinct aangeschaft (als upgrade van de PineTime) en ik ben er zeer content mee. Notificaties, weer en muziekbediening: koppelingen met de smartphone werken uitstekend.
Ik heb nooit de Garmin apps gebruikt, maar voor zover ik het kan overzien 'mis' je Garmin Pay en de Garmin LiveApp track feature. Beide zou ik om privacy redenen al sowieso niet willen gebruiken.
We operate our body with a single processor, the brain. Our organs are also managed by the brain. The brain is highly optimized to operate each of our organs, control motor functions, and allow us to think.
1 brain cannot control 2 bodies, there's simply too much going on. Likewise, 2 full brains cannot control the same body, they would fight for resources. Organs keep the brain alive, the brain keeps organs alive. It's a 1:1 ratio, sometimes less than 1, but never double (some have been born with extra controllable appendages but it's few and far between).
Therefore, only a higher, more generalized, processor could handle operating 2 or more distinct beings.
Until a certain brain body ratio - You can remove half of a brain and it can rewire itself to control the whole body. If you connect two brains to the same body what will likely happen is they will redistribute the work of controlling the body among themselves and work like one brain.
As Labour continues to plan on cutting benefits, a new National Institute of Economic & Social Research report concludes that the UK has one of the weakest social security 'safety nets' in the developed world... alongside a low-wage labour market, the economy ensures the poor stay poor. Now Labour plans to make that worse!
As Max Mosley, one of the reports author sums it up: 'We are neither delivering prosperity through high wages nor security through welfare'!
Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. Hugs all round. Happy Thursday.
It looks like being a promising (if cold) day here today, which is a good thing for us as we have a family funeral to attend. We will also be seeing the nephew who got married last summer, & who has already walked out on his new wife to have an affair with someone he met at his job. We don't know what we will say to him - all our sympathies are with his poor wife. She is a lovely young woman and doesn't deserve this.
I'm sorry you have such a sad event today. My condolences.
It also sounds like there will be other moments with your nephew. Hope you find the right words or tones (if any ends up even applying in that setting).
@AncTreat5358 Thank you. We canāt get our heads around it all. The next time we see the nephew will be Christmas. We want to tell him what an idiot he is, but itās not our place to say it. Thatās for his parents. He didnāt even try to stick around & make it work. He will be a bad bet for anyone, going forward. And yet - in so many other ways we couldnāt think of a nicer, kinder young man. Itās confusingā¦. They must have spent many thousands on their big flashy wedding , & are now saddled with the debt & no marriage to show for it. And it will take his poor wife a long time before she can trust anyone again.

A perfect example of good software. Enter email, enter password, welcome to federated encrypted chat messages. Simple. Easy adaptation too. Invite a friend using either a friendly invite URL (referral link) or Qr Code, they enter their email address, and password, done. This is easier to use than WhatsApp or Signal. It is called, Delta Chat, and it works with your own email. #WhatsApp #Signal #DeltaChat #Fediverse
The 1 thing I would change is when clicking on "new profile" is the option to use your own email, instead of signing up for a new Fedi provider, should be viewable right away, and not hidden under "other".
Make it transparent and obvious. It truly is the best feature. Keep this simple. You want someone's Grandma with zero technical skills to have this front and center.
You should make a proposal. If you see they need turning around maybe they see it too just donāt know how. They might be just desperate enough to accept your tenner.
Boycotts can be subtle. Change your email provider. Change your vpn provider. Change where you buy books, change your music streaming. Change where you get your news. european-alternatives.eu/
WELL...in a surprising turn of events, I will own a brand new (paid, nothing weird) Bambulab X1 Carbon.
I won't be using it until February, but I wanted to enjoy the christmas discount (I know they have other discounts during the year, but now it was a good time to buy, rather than reaching february and discovering I have to wait until agust maybe?...)
I am finally able to take a look at *any* filament and it has become a very interesting world.
Apart from the particulars of Bambu's AMS and it's quirks, there's so much range to pick.
I will definitely aim to decode the AMS protocol and try some shenanigans (I understand it may probably be WAY out of my league, doesn't mean I can't tinker anyway)
I test an air fryer to see if it can dry filament.Models seen in the video: (Ams Lite Vertical Stand) https://makerworld.com/en/models/444925#profileId-3512...
I think I will try to get the AF140EU, rather than the AF100EU, even if the second one is sufficient, just because the second one looks fucking awful.
I would prefer if the AF140 was more square on all the edges, but still, it's better than the 100.
Altough I'll try to find a secondhand one first, I won't discard buying brand new, as I don't want to risk fucking up filaments that cost 100ā¬ per Kg, for example.
Well, found a new AF140 at some discount (115ā¬ instead of 130ā¬) and I could pick it up in a shop near me, so no shipping cost, and I'm really tempted on jumping the gun.
My thought train is the following:
Cheap filament dryers cost between 40 and 70ā¬, and they WON'T dry, or dry properly, PPA-CF, PAHT-CF, ASA, PC...as they all require at least 80ĀŗC (PPA-CF requires 100-140ĀŗC) So I will absolutely need to dry the filament and this will do it at the range I need.
I predict that at some point, someone, in china probably, is going to figure out that 3D printing needs proper filament dryers instead of the usual regurgitated small boxes with a heater, and commercially repurpose one of these to do it's thing, but look less like a kitchen appliance, and more like a workshop tool.
They could get rid of the non stick surface and just use stainless, for example.
I am unsure if the AMS will fit in the top shelf (and be able to swap spools, I mean) but I will try once I open the machine up.
Somehow I am pretty sure you can fit the printer itself between the legs of the Bekvam, if you remove the middle shelf. Definitely an interesting option if I ever had two printers.
Btw, the "filament dryer" was inserted from the side, but the pan can be removed normally.
Width wise, the AMS will fit no probs, but it won't particularly be able to open in any way.
What I do have space for os to install a sliding tray and put it on top so I can pull it out and do any changes I need. Now I need to investigate ways to do that. š
@vxo I am seriously pondering on adding a concrete pour inside the space just below the tabletop, to reduce possible resonances from the printer (apart from ordering some of those fancy dampener feet they sell)
It will be easy to add a few long screws on the sides so the concrete slab doesn't come crashing down on the AMS, and probably even add some corner spacers so it is still possible to tear it down later on.
Won't do it soon, so I have time think it out properly.
Well, I am NOT waiting 300+h to dry filament @ 70Ā°C (amd the cheapo filament dryers don't even reliably reach that temp anyway, realistically it's more like 55Ā°C
Ah, so it's a "too much space to go somewhere else" type of problem (that's the distributor).
If I had plenty of money, I would buy a second AMS to test sharp shape that reached well into the distributor gear to make the filament just have a single path to go.
Back int he day I made my Cetus be able to print TPU reliably by adding a small spacer-guide so I could avoid this exact problem.
Oh well, since I want to rebuild the complete AMS in a different way, that may not be a problem.
So @BambuLab said that TPU will not work with their AMS unit as it will get jammed and stuck in it. I wanted to know if it was a hard no or just a suggestion...
Well, finally got to add the concrete slab to the Bekvam table for the 3D printer.
I didn't want to go higher than the metal plates (for no particular reason, just an arbitrary decision), so it will not reach 25kg, probably being about 20 or so, wich is PLENTY for the intended purpose.
I was told to gently wet the surface with a sponge every 8h or so, to get the best finish and no cracks, I will try, not sure how will that go.
Any cement stains will be gently sanded once it's dry.
Today I finally weighed the Kƶnkrete BekvƤm, and it surprisingly got to 37kg. Taking into account that the wood in itself is about 9kg, that's a wooping 28kg of dampening mass.
I used 3,25L of water for the 25kg mix, of wich I left a sizeable amount in the flexy bucket, but all the secrews and wire should also add something, too.
I am happy to have reached the weight goal, tomorrow at mid day, I will turn it upside down and leave it be, as It will still be a while before I unbox the printer.
An ominous slab of concrete hangs over our heads š¤£.
The wood warped widthways a little. I knew that may happen but the cost of the screws was already high, so buying spray varnish to try to protect it was sort of out of the question. in any case, since the printer has four legs, the bend is not that critical anyway, there will still be four contact points underneath.
I may redo this table sometime in the future with some more thought, but for what I need it, it's good enough.
Well, well, well...seems my preparations timing was spot on!
Boss received the quote for six pieces at 250ā¬, whereas I only want a 0,8mm hardened nozzle and will print them for free (boss buys the PPA-CF filament, ofc.) for less than the quote, he can get the 140 pieces we needed. š
So, I will be moving my computer and desk this friday and prepare the printer on saturday/sunday.
And I get a "free" day to do whatevs while the printer prints the test pieces.
Yesterday I realized I had no dryboxes left with spool carrier and filament output, since I'm a dumbass and I've been giving all them away š¤£š
Since I needed one for this weekend, once I open the PPA-CF, I just updated one blank cover with leftover alu pieces. I didn't have any inox tubing, so I used some 10mm CF tube I had lying around.
Next time I will be taking a look at moving the aluminium supports down into the body itself, rather than have them in the cover, but for now, this will do.
Did a first print with PLA that came with the machine, it oozed from the nozzle like crazy, altough the print still looked good. I will try drying the filament with the FILAMENT DRYER, wich btw, only uses like 20W to mantain 55Ā°C
Finally tested the filament dryer and I was pleased to see the heat distribution seems to be quite even. I also discovered that the drying option only allows 40-90Ā°C, still plenty of range for mostly everything.
The device itself becomes noisier at night, I may try to balance the internal fan later on, but right now I need to dry the PPA-CF, so I took the whole thing out to the kitchen balcony floor, rather than leave it in the printer.
I am glad to see the machine is hotter than ambient temperature, but max temp on the outside is 35-40Ā°C after 90 minutes.
I think next weekend I will bring a temperature datalogger from work to see how stable the whole thing actually is. I mean however bad it is, it is better than having NO dryer at all, or just a low temp dryer.
Numbers tell you that PPA-CF is incredibly stiff compared to normal PLA, but having always printed the latter, you are not mentally prepared to the shock of seeing it in person.
Remember I wanted to use my old 3D printer UPS for the X1C?
Well, that one is only good up to 450W, so the 1000W peak of heating the bed just shuts it down.
I had been thinking about getting a bigger model for the printer, but I wasn't seeing any good deals until today.
Just reserved this 1200W unit for 140ā¬ shipped.
I will struggle this month with other monetary things, but since the day I got stuck in the elevator, and neighbors got fried appliances, I am wary of damaging the new printer.
The device supports the 1000W load inline (remember that the 450W one shut down like that) and the batteries almost hold the 1000W startup (only left them to charge for half an hour). It did perfectly hold while already started (unplugging it after everything was hot)
Just tested the UPS this morning after a good night of charge.
Started the printer and mid-bed heating (1000W) unplugged the thing. The thing started beeping like crazy, obviously, but did not shut down. I left it like that for a few seconds, but I had no need to know the endurance so I plugged it back again, and it went on.
I definitely feel a lot better having the whole thing protected. š
Well, today I had my first "major fix" of the printer (nothing broke, just weird behaviour of components).
Anyway, so the printhead has a cable chain and a single point attachment for the teflon tube, right?
The chain in itself has a bit of play, but not too much, UNLESS...unless you print with CF filaments that are hard as fuck, and their twist, especially when arriving at mid spool, is heavy.
It will pull down both the chain and tube, and it will start rubbing the carbon rod of the X axis.
At first I tried the simple fix of adding more zip ties, but I only made it worse, in fact, so much worse I even stopped working and dedicated myself to fix the issue, since I was printing parts for work anyway.
At first I tried using a simple 1 wall arc, printed with PPA-CF (sanded down to remove coarseness + adding a layer of kapton to prevent it from disintegrating the electrical cable in the chain.
However, that did not work that well, until I realized I could do this:
I see now a few other fixes around, but the nicest one ///requires a complete dissasembly of the cable, wich I don't really want to do./// CORRECTION: No, it doesn't. However I don't have nylon filament to try it either. I'll take a look at it in the future.
A friend asked about the fix, but I told them I'd show tomorrow, because late...however in the end I found myself having some free time, and I decided to redesign the piece for that extra bling and better fit.
So, this is the piece as it stood last time.
As you can see it was a tad too long and it made the end of the chain too straight, things I wanted to fix.
The AMS will be fully extraible for excellent access (no chance for the whole thing to topple, with the 20+kg of concrete in it)
I only need to find a carpenter with a rable saw that can cut this plywood into my required size.
That plywood has emotional value/attachment, so I want to use it, rather than get new one. I brought it with me from my old-old job, as a gift of sorts from my boss (can I take this? - "sure thing")
It has been used as table for years and I appreciate it.
In the end, I wasn't able to find somewhere I could carry the big panel to cut, so I ended buying some half decent 15mm plywood for this, because I could get it cut in the shop.
Also bought one ikea monitor riser so I can tuck the keyboard under it when I take out the laptop. Somehow I thought I remembered those being sold already varnished, and got surprised when I found out they weren't.
Just gave everything a varnish coat so tomorrow I can install it.
Everything is a spacer if you have enough copies of it.
The first supports are glued AND screwed down (I already removed the eccess glue, no worries). Then, attach the rails tho those (that had been previously drilled) and using the improvised spacers and double sided tape, adhere the top supports. Drill and remove the tape, then install back in place. Aply some glue to the top supports, fit the top then drill, countersunk and screw in place.
As per the monitor supports, I had bough some little feet for the left one, not realizing it would then make both parts sit flush, so I added one of the screws for that bit of extra safety (so it can't be pushed sideways and off the table).
Being able to hide the keyboard and mouse inder that feels really nice, altough I would really like to cut 30mm off of that depth, and maybe some form of aesthetic trim, but I have no wood router to try the latter.
@SaguaroLynx I wish I had the tools to build them myself, unfortunately I don't so I had to buy an ikea Vattenkar laptop stand, and just mount it in an unusual way.
