Doubtful. The main reason I could see a 3D printer starting a fire is either thermal runaway, often caused by bad software (on cheap printers) or electrical issues. You can check your wiring and make sure that nothing looks loose and all of your cables are in good condition. You can also make sure that your printer firmware is up to date. It's a Prusa right? I think you should be safe from software failure in that case, as they're quality.

If you're really concerned about it, you can also move your power supply, and even your mainboard, outside of the enclosure by using longer cables. This would keep the majority of the electrical components away from the foam and heated box. From my position I don't see an issue, but that's my personal opinion -- not legally accountable information. I will say that Stefan on CNC Kitchen uses foam as well, to get rid of ringing in prints. If you decide to go through with it, just use common sense and check to see if anything is hot. You might also get some benefit out of looking into silent stepper motors/drivers and trying to make the printer itself quieter.

I haven't used it outside of Windows Firefox and Android but it works great for me as well.

For mobile specifically: Rarely do I have any issues, and when I do, I have a quick panel button for Bitwarden (top drag down menu) that lets me manually trigger it. I can't think of any apps that it doesn't work with. My one nit is that autofill credit card info doesn't work often, but obv that's a secondary use, and the info is still with me if I ever need it on the go. And adding new login info can be a little tedious on mobile -- much easier to create it first, then autofill. Highly appreciate the 2FA feature too. The auto copy feature feels really seamless regardless of if I'm on my phone or not.

I'd be curious what issues you seem to be running into with it.

I really enjoy the podcast Deeper Dating. The host, Ken Page, is one of the most emotionally in-touch men I've heard from. More so than a lot of women, honestly. Also, therapy and men's groups are a great start too. Consider poetry, talks from Brené Brown, books on attachment styles, and engaging with more emotionally intimate people in your life - even just as friends, male or female.

My guess is that it's more social than biological. Women have a tendency to form closer, more emotionally available, and more plentiful relationships with others -- I believe partially due to hormones/brain development and partially due to culture. They've done studies that show that having strong social relationships is important to lower stress and loneliness, which can lead to a longer life. I'm not sure if that's all of it but it definitely couldn't hurt to work on those things :)

What seems to be the issue? If you got those mesh numbers using a probe, it just indicates that your bed is unlevel. You can home it, then disable the steppers to move the hotend around, and do the paper test. If you haven't leveled your bed before then you can google the paper bed-leveling test.

I say this because it seems like your bed is slanted downwards on the bottom-left corner (and/or slanted upwards on the front right corner). No offense if you do know how to level your bed though, if it's some other sort of issue do let me know.

Check out the Positron! It's the most portable one I've seen. The guy behind it, Kralyn, been providing the plans to the community so you can make it yourself.

Since he's released it to the public, it's possible that you might be able to find someone else selling them commercially rather than having to build it. The latest version is V3. It's so small it can fit into a filament box!

The book "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall Rosenberg has a lot of wisdom to offer this issue. The author moderated and helped to resolve political tensions between countries, for example. His work honestly changed how I view talking to others with opposing beliefs.

I'm endlessly fascinated by the kind of people who make comments like Mr. Downvote here. Who reads something like this and is like, "huh, I have no idea what the shit is going on, guess I'll poke fun at this person hehe 🙂" or maybe "I don't have a good comeback for this but this person seems really smart, this will show him 😁" I love and hate the internet, lol. If there's one thing I honestly miss, it's going through and laughing at the kind of nonsensical comments under so many posts.

I'm not the person you responded to, but I'll throw my hat in with them and say that running helps my mental health too! I've had a terrible history with exercising consistently, but I've been running at least a couple times a week for over a year now and the thing that helped a lot was getting away from "my goal is to run X number of days" and focus on rather "my goal is to make the idea of running less painful." I didn't want to get super active, I just wanted to lower the bar for action so that it was something I would continue to want to do. I never shame myself for not going, it's always an open choice for myself to help me feel better, and I let myself even just "go for 60 seconds" or "down the block and back."

And one thing that helps a lot is if you can figure out a time of day that works the best for you. I have a harder time going on weekends because I normally run during my lunch at work. On the days I don't run, I walk, because I sit a lot at work and it drives me mad to spend lunch sitting around too. Plus running is a lot more fun if it's literally taking you farther away from responsibilities, lol. Also, if you tend to do better forming habits with the buddy-system, don't be afraid to look into trying to use that as a motivator too! :D

Would you mind sharing what you shot this with? I love it! It's so unique :D

It could be depression. It also sounds like the very common experience in ADHD I've heard of where your brain just doesn't have enough dopamine to do anything. So you might try to get yourself to do stuff, but you literally can't get yourself to do what you'd like (even though you feel like you should be able to). You might even just stare at a wall and get mad at yourself for not moving. Maybe this video might have some tips?

But I mean, it's also possible to have comorbid depression with ADHD. There are a lot of places they can overlap (low motivation, low energy). Outside of medication, you might just need to find ways that work for you and help you to feel motivated or even just happy and accepting of where you're at. It's okay to have off days too, I hope you know. People with ADHD have a lot of shame so it's important to make sure that you aren't struggling with that on top of the lack of motivation. To learn to be easier on yourself. And to learn about ways that the rest of society may have not properly taught you how to handle the unique struggles you deal with (so you can stop pressuring yourself to accomplish or act to neurotypical standards).

There is now Neocities.org so I'd say you're spot on :)
