Too lazy or didn't want to?
I know in the UK margins tend to be high on things like glasses and lenses but they lose money on even standard eye tests (it's worse if they pick something wrong and need to do further investigation)
I was thinking the same, I'd like more context though, if it's a quick throttle blip (or like if they're driving stick and need to reverse the car up a slope) could be understandable. If they're bouncing it off the rev limiter for a minute that's a different kettle of fish. Given the rest of the post I'm erring on the side of it being blown out of proportion.
Seems like a lifetime since he died, I hope his books are still popular in a hundred years. Gnu pterry.
Are the other half ascending?
This is a pet peeve of mine irl, people adding "ator" or "isation" or "ise" or similar to words to make new words we already have words for.
"We need to solutionise this problem"
No, fuck off, we already have the word "solve" we don't need a new word, it doesn't make you sound smarter, it makes you sound like a fucking moron who doesn't know the word solve.
Doesn't he go every day without shutting the fuck up?
None of which makes the distro shite. The things I remember them getting shit for are:
Unity/mir
Upstart
Snaps
Amazon ads
Advertising their premium version.
Of all of those the Amazon thing is the only one I have a strong objection to. The rest I can't say I've even particularly noticed the changes if I'm honest and most other Ubuntu users probably haven't either. They seem to get a lot of crap for "doing their own thing all the time" which seems odd coming from the Linux community.
I came to Ubuntu initially because it was the new hotness, I've never really had an issue with it functionally in 12 years or so, so no real need to change.
Why not deb? Why not any number of other distros? I do run deb on my NAS as it goes and I'm not trying to stan for Ubuntu (honestly) but it gets a lot of undeserved hate. It's not a super exciting distro or anything but it tends to work fine for me.
I've definitely had some work done in the abdominal region, it's not common or painful and does get checked annually. Thank you.
He looks like a twat but like it's not hard to smoke and hold a glass with the same hand. Assuming he's watching a video on the laptop I don't really see the issue.
First one done, everything seemed to work, assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were great.
Changes - buffer tubes were printed separately with variable layer height in Orca, I've read this helps feeding filament, settings:
Adaptive height 0.08, radius 4.
Triangle Lab kit only seems to come with long springs for the buffer tube, so you'll be building the long stroke version. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions so no loss. They are on the BoM though, so hopefully it saves someone else having to scour the instructions to see if the "missing springs" are needed.
I think I'll try printing the housings for the next one with support, some of the overhangs are a bit misshapen and had to be cleared out with a drill bit. This may still bite me further down the line when I need to fit the module to the base.
It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to take apart if necessary.
I'd think about bending the solder tabs on the motors before soldering as well, it's a bit of a squeeze inside the housing and it's harder to bend them after.
Hopefully I'll get a second housing printed this week and at least another module assembled at the weekend.
I've just taken a quick look, I've not checked off the BOM yet, but motors, boards, PTFE tube and a collection of parts have arrived. There's a bit of a description/warning sheet and a link to a Google drive with it too. Will check out some more over the next couple of days.

Merge/test/fix on a separate branch and then merge this into main when the freeze lifts?
