Sounds like it was just a small section of incorrectly mixed (possibly contaminated) filament at either the beginning or end of a production batch. When they start mixing the plastics there can be some irregularities in the flow of materials and you get a bit more of one thing and a bit less of another. That’s normally cut away and discarded once everything is flowing correctly. Sometimes it’s missed or they didn’t cut enough.

I’d consider it a one off, or very rare incident, and not a general overall quality issue unless it starts happening regularly.

We can give him the honor of being eaten last.

I didn’t like it in high school because I was forced to do it with hundreds of other people that made my life hell.

Now I can do it from a comfy chair with a lap full of cats in my slippers.

But why the focus on the bard?

Not really. Over half the woodworking channels I watch never count the cost of materials that they already own when they total up the cost.

I’m kind of ok with them not counting the cost of tools, but the materials need to be counted, especially when they are doing something like “how to build a desk for under $50.”

Pretty much anything based on collecting cards or deck building.

It’s clearly Pac-Man balancing on a pair of scissors.

It’s just an early testing phase, more of an “ok, this drug kind of did what we want in mice, and the mice didn’t explode. It’s time to move to the next stage of testing on something more human analogue, like a pig.”

Yes, iOS displays your messages. In order to do that it has to read your messages. That’s just how computers work. Same for Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, and even Temple OS.

Ok, I’m in! What costume do you think my cheese would like to go as this year?

He (and his brother Casper) are Cornish Rex. They are also related to Siamese.

Might be accused of murder by a plump little French detective.

And then back in to a bridge again!

The ceasefire was a trap to lure their targets back in to the open, where they can be easily grouped and eliminated.

Because they are loan words from different languages.

Much better! Thanks for sharing your baby!

Is this supposed to be a video or animated in some way?

Off the top of my head, here are a few of the things that gave me joy this week…

OMG kitty!
Hey, it’s my awesome wife!
Yay, video games!
This burger tastes amazing!
Damn this chair is comfy.
Boobies!!!
I made someone smile today!
It’s a beautiful day for a bike ride!
Did I mention the kitty?
Farts are funny, I didn’t care how old I am.
I made friends with my new neighbors dog!

If you aren’t getting at least a little bit of joy from life, you probably need to see someone about depression.
