Just drove to Toronto and all around the Deep South of Ontario and then back across the Wilds. All Covid-free as always.
Everybody's sick. Everything is even shittier than the last time I was down there. Everybody is stupid and aggressive.

At one point, a pickup truck (it's ALWAYS a pickup) came down the hill @ us, trying to pass 3, 4, 5 cars & a truck in a no-passing zone on a curve. He looked at us, made eye-contact, and thought "Why not."
We had to evade into the ditch, hard break to 30kmh. As it was, we missed him by ~10 feet. w/o evasion we would have certainly all died.
He chose to drive us right off the road. Like, literally looked us in the eye and said "Let's all die."
Then an hour later it happened AGAIN. Same situation. Same choice. This time from behind us.
Then, an hour after that, it happened AGAIN.
The highways up here are serious now. Everybody's got holes in their brains and everybody's playin for keeps. The Psychosis is real.

@yumpsuit Actual video footage of me.
Except for when I give em the ol double bird.
I think Luigi would be doin the ol #1 here if he wasn't trapped in Nintendoverse.😆

@subjacentish I support you growing a big brushed out mustache, especially if you wear white driving gloves while flipping off shitty motorists

@yumpsuit Related Q: if you only have 3 fingers, does the "middle finger" still count? 1/3 of your fingers are a middle finger.

@subjacentish becomes the "social finger"
@yumpsuit ... I just realized that having 4 fingers means that the middle finger isn't a middle finger. It's a 2nd finger.
Maybe only Luigi can really flip the true bird.

@subjacentish the blameless life of Mr. Bean is vindicated once again

I hope it works out! 🤞🏼

So, I booked a train trip from Seattle to Vancouver. I figure the all-Canadian leg of my trip will be less chaotic. I'll ride to Vancouver on Saturday and then fly to Montreal Saturday night.
-
So, that doesn't cover my flight out, but my flight home might be affected. Even if my flight itself isn't cancelled, I'll be at an airport with thousands of people whose flights were cancelled. There will be delays in the network. If I do get cancelled, I'd be competing with thousands of other people to get on a flight, bus, or train home.

Then, the Secretary of Transportation said that they were going to start shutting down 10% of air travel through us airports starting Friday.

So, I am flying from Montreal to Seattle for #seagl2025. I leave on Nov 6 and return on Nov 8. I fly from Montreal to Vancouver to Seattle, and then back. All good.

Better 3D-Printed Bridges Are Possible, With the Right Settings
The header image above shows a completely unsupported 3D-printed bridge, believe it or not. You’re looking at the bottom of the print. [Make Wonderful Things] wondered whether unsightly unsupported bridges could be improved, and has been busy nailing down remarkably high-quality results by exhaustive testing of different settings.
It all started when they thought that unsupported bridges looked a lot as though they were made from ropes stretched between two points. Unlike normal layers, these stretched extrusions didn’t adhere to their neighbors. They are too far apart from one another, and there’s no “squish” to them. But could this be overcome?
His experiments centered mainly around bridge printing speed, temperature, and bridge flow. That last setting affects how much the extrusion from the hot end is adjusted when printing a bridge. He accidentally increased it past 1.0 and thought the results were interesting enough to follow up on; it seemed that a higher flow rate when printing a bridge gave the nudge that was needed to get better inter-line adhesion. What followed was a lot of testing, finally settling on something that provided markedly better results than the stock slicer settings. Markedly better on his test pieces, anyway.
BF = Bridge flow, BS = Bridge printing speed (in mm/sec)
The best results seem to come from tweaking the Bridge Flow rate high enough that extrusions attach to their neighbors, printing slowly (he used 10 mm/sec), and ensuring the bridged area is as consistent as possible. There are still open questions, like some residual sagging at corners he hasn’t been able to eliminate, but the results otherwise look great. And it doesn’t even require laying one’s printer on its side!All the latest is on the project page where you can download his test models, so if you’re of a mind to give it a try be sure to check it out and share your results. Watch a short video demonstrating everything, embedded just under the page break.
Thanks to [Hari] for the tip!
