Thank you for the link and taking the time to reply. I am genuinely surprised this is the case as towing is usually covered under warranty, if necessary, and this would put Honda in the position of having to cover damage caused by the tow.

I am not trying to prove your wrong / there are no awards for arguing on the internet.

I'm just super surprised that they wouldn't be included as towing a modern vehicle without one is very difficulty due to fascias being a ton lower to the ground than they used to be. Even if you can reach a solid under vehicle tow point, putting tension on whatever you attached to means the fascia will probably be in the way. Tthink loose rope on ground vs taught rope cutting through the fascia.

Apologies for the delayed reply, it's been a week.

Vorons are capable because the base design is pretty good out of the box and because the design is open source. As other companies come up with cool ideas you'll usually see a mod to adopt them to a Voron. It wouldn't surprise me if this idea is adopted. Until very recently, things like hot ends were commodity parts made by third parties and not the printer OEMs. This made part availability fairly guaranteed and also feels more open. The good news is that it looks like Bambu will sell these parts at some point.

As for existing options in Voron land, there three popular mods out there for multi-toolhead: StealthChanger, TapChanger, and Mad Max.

Sounds like a good place to plant some mint!

The do, they're just hidden behind panels on the fascia like most modern cars.

On the front it's hidden behind some trim:

And on the back there's a reason why there's a small seam in the fascia in this area:

The regal and Cruze both have them if you're talking about the 2010ish+ models. I would be surprised if the Impala didn't have one too, but maybe it didn't.

Cruze

These are a somewhat newer occurrence in the US, so if you drive older cars you really might not have run into them. Most cars designed in the past 10-15 years have them.

We have a thin strip of mint that's exactly what you described. Fresh mint all spring and summer is great for a variety of reasons, plus it smells good. That said, we're constantly fighting runners trying to grow in every conceivable crevice. It tries to grow in the cement expansion joints and in the joint between our house and sidewalk by the door.

This is arguably about an un(der?)regulated futures market gone wild. If you can buy all the production for the year, before it's even been produced, you're going to create a shortage. One could argue that supply and demand is out of whack and that more fabs = more supply to meet demand, but if Western Digital completely sold out of hard drives when we're only 1/6 of the way through the year then more supply isn't really the way to fix it.

I recently had a drive fail in my 4 bay nas. Amusingly, synology branded drives seem like they're pretty close to p ice parity with OE drives these days.

As someone who hunts said butts, can confirm!

 

Well, almost. I didn't give myself enough tolerance in the cutout for the speaker and it doesn't fit well. On to v1.01!

 

It will be a 240x280x70ish speaker stand. The first go ground with it flat and support free resulted in warping despite a 60°C chamber, so I stood it on its end, cut print speed by a third, and added the breaks to reduce stress.

This will take a while...

Note that the bottom has a chmafer, so although there's a shadow it's not warping.

 

I turned the grow lights on early this year to grow some potatoes, which I'm sure is a totally a great use of energy. I'm really hoping to grow another round of starts after not having a very good year this year due to keeping our potatos in smaller pots and us not getting a ton of rain. Next year I'll put them in a much larger planter.

I'm also trying to get some cherry pits to seed. I collected the cherries, which were delicious, from a tree in our neighborhood. I'm betting the mother tree isn't a graft given its location and age. If any of you have any tips, I'm all ears. The pits are now a year old and spent the time in dry dirt on this table.

 

Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

 
 
 

The coaster is shivering timbers at Michigan's adventure.

 
 

At least the Canadian wildfires are good for softer light. It's very surreal having a cloud free sunny day without the sun actually being that intense.

 

The scene smelled delicious!

 

We saw a pretty good amount of them in our yard this June. It was nice. I can't remember seeing many lightning bugs for years.

 

I'm going to have to track down a macro lens for my camera body after selling the micro four thirds kit I was using for bees last year.
