Where's the overloaded Cyclonic Rift when you need one?

I mostly switched for the interface, it feels far more modern and easy to navigate compared to Cura and Prusa (while retaining all but the most bleeding edge features from each). Still not perfect, but I've found it to be leagues better at managing and swapping between multiple printers/ nozzles/ materials. It has native calibration tools for everything from temperature towers to flow rates and pressure advance. Plus it plays very nicely with Klipper. I haven't used it a bunch on account of not being wholly set up for it, but multi color printing is also super easy. It's kind of dumb, but I appreciate that updates actually update the app instead on installing a new instance (that I'll have to go uninstall later, looking at you Cura) so that my "send to print utility" button in Fusions always just works. Updates also seem more substantial with meaningful features (things like scarf joints to hide layer lines come to mind), you can very much feel the love that community has poured into it. It's open source software in all the best ways possible.

I was pretty sold after Teaching Tech's video last year, but a number of other channels (Lost in Tech comes to mind as well) have also done Orca slicer videos if you're looking for reasons to give it a try.

Orca is forked from Bambo's slicer which is in turn forked from prusa slicer.

Taking a bit of a shot in the dark as I haven't made it off of Nauvis yet, but what happens to the ingredients/ eggs when the assembler is unpowered? I don't know how it plays into the spoilage mechanics, but theoretically you could isolate the power grid with a switch and throttle production that way.

In my defense I took PTO and told my family that they wouldn't see me for the week. Now, where to put the oil refinery for blue science...

Same reason most things are funny, or at least mildly amusing: inversion of expectations.

Red states wondering where all the entwives went...

Assuming that's it's just the normal force of Earth's gravity at work on the witch, it's just a case of working Newton's second backwards with the gravitational "constant" acceleration ≈ 9.8 m/s²:

F = ma

980 N = m × 9.8 m/s²

980 / 9.8 = (m × 9.8) / 9.8, units omitted for text clarity

100 kg = m

In other words, op is assuming that an average size witch masses approximately 100kg (or about 220 lbs in fingers, knees, and toes units).

My concern is when they decide to burn the whole building down over the red swingline stapler...

Enh, the tech space is very much innovate or die. So yeah, they could probably throw everything in maintenance mode and make a reduced headcount work, but if AWS goes stagnant it's entirely likely that Amazon goes the way of IBM and Motorol. Especially when someone (likely, Microsoft or Google) comes to take a slice of the AWS market share.
