I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of how escalation works.

She tries to grab a glass (low impact), he responds by tossing the entire drink in her face (high impact). That was escalation. He still had the glass, she accomplished nothing, but he "retaliated" anyways.

She goes to push him (low impact), he pushes her to the ground and then follows her to kick her while she's down (high impact). The initial action here, a response to the previous escalation, also poses no threat to this guy but he once again chooses to increase the stakes by responding disproportionately.

Rinse and repeat. Literally everything that happened after the glass grab at the beginning of this was a direct response to his escalations. Sure, nothing forced her to continue to respond, but that's irrelevant here because it would never have happened if he had responded more appropriately.

No I'm saying the gap between lines on layer 2 and 3 is the same throughout the entirety of both layers without change (also on walls), but not present at all on layer 4 and onwards.

Yeah this is what I was describing. If the nozzle is too far from the bed the line will not be properly squished down, meaning that the line will be too narrow (gaps seen on print) and too tall across the whole layer, which means the next layer gets put down higher than it should and is also too tall but slightly closer to the nozzle. Rinse and repeat, eventually a future layer is at the correct height to get squished and every layer past that is correct.

Still really feeling like this is a z-offset issue, which could be calibration, or an unlevel or uneven bed, or tramming.

If the layers aren't being properly squished down by the nozzle at the base sometimes the height will "catch up" and fix itself later. Is the left side of the image the first layer? I'm making that assumption.

The picture you posted just looks an awful lot like the offset is too high at the center of the bed; the gaps between the infill and the walls is a classic symptom of that. Having the other side of the model (the back of the picture) appear to be properly squished down is what makes me think that the bed or the gantry is the culprit, but that's obviously just a guess from limited info.

Are you positive your bed is flat and level? That really looks like z offset issues to me.

Edit: follow up: are you also positive your gantry is square and level?

I've been thinking about doing just this, but I haven't seen any evidence that BSD is actually usable in real life yet.

Linux is actually good today, it's a viable alternative to the big corpos for virtually anybody, and the community is big enough to be sustainable. Also Steam has made Linux gaming a real thing.

If I could build a little pc to try BSD out on I would, I'd love for the competition to be there... But even a raspberry pi is like $500 today. It's insane. Fucking AI.

My dude, I live on a hobby farm. Complete with livestock. I have giant blackberry bushes.

But please tell me more about how sitting at a desk all day making money for people who don't know you exist is just so natural. Modern day berry picking even.

Nah, fuck this.

If we were allowed to do just what is necessary for survival we would spend way, way less time on it than we do working now. Picking weeds from a crop just big enough to support a family does not take 40 hours a week 52 weeks a year. Picking berries does not require you to check with a supervisor before you're allowed to pee during working hours. We live in a form of indentured servitude, which eats most of our waking hours and provides a host of genuine physical and mental health issues.

The sentiment in the comment I'm responding to is reductionist nonsense borne of corporate brainwashing.

This shit has nothing to do with "a job should be sunshine and rainbows" and everything to do with "working a 60 hour work week to displace more wealth into the hands of a few people is not and should not be seen as fine".

Kidneys are the primary problem (and there's two of them so I'll pretend "organs" was meaningful there), I'm not educated enough to know much past that. I kinda assume that if you're stressing your kidneys it's going to impact something else though.

It's not that protein is like bad for the kidney, it's just that your body has to get rid of what you don't use so they work harder than they need to.
