Advantages of working from home: reading manga during a break, the bathroom is always available, pooping undisturbed

In the process of getting rid of my PLA filament my dissatisfaction towards to PLA just rises. In the course of a larger batch the filament snapped three times.

I'm close to buying a house: my current offer is at 225.000€ for a 88m² house with 4 rooms, 163 m² parcel. However I have to do a ton of work there to get it to a state that is up to current standards, like the electric switch box, the bathrooms, windows... The garden is also more a jungle than habitable. I hope I won't regret it.

I remember why I don't 3D-print with PLA anymore. Currently I'm using up all my ancient (4-5 years old) opened spools. I'm printing a ton of dividers for my alphabetically and card type ordered Magic The Gathering cards because all my opened spools are in a way colored that somewhat match the card colors. I began it with green as it was a very unpleasant toxic green, then red, and now I'm at blue and yellow. The quality between all of them vary extremely. One spool is clogging all the time where as others print fine. Even then it's more or less a gamble. Currently I had to reduce the flow rate by 7% at one spool because of the pressure and swelling in the hotend. The spools are old but even when I had new spools I was very dissatisfied. Usually I print with PETG and it is more forgiving and consistent in my experience.

Dusted off my HTC Vive VR headset and played a bit of Beat Saber.
1st realization: I still can finish expert levels with at least A rank.
2nd realization: My favorite songs don't work anymore as the updates broke the mods.
3rd realization: It's too damn hot for physical exercise.

I hope that "Judgment", "Lost Judgment", and "Like a Dragon: Ishin!" get a price cut soon. I'm a bit hyped for "Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name". I try to resist preordering it.

What I want to say: With enough time and a growing community eventually assholes emerge.

The biggest trap in"adult" animation is that it uses vulgarity and crass situations too often. It's easy to appeal to juvenile adults with "forbidden" stuff like violence and sexuality but the more lasting stuff are the more day-to-day real adult situations the characters have to deal with. These situations can be comical or otherwise but the basis has to be familiar and relatable and somewhat a base adult life experience. The earlier Simpsons seasons are one of the best as they are not flanderized to the extreme. Bob's Burgers is similar as most episodes deal with heightened but not completely unrealistic situations. I'm not against some violence but it can be grating and numbing and boring when it is used too often.

This week I went to a house viewing for a, at first, relatively affordable house. The house was from 1938. It turned out that almost nothing was done to the house since then, except for a gas heating system and a shower in the cellar (WTF). The windows with wooden frames were with almost 100 % certainty original. The cellar was so moist and damp it smelled like a swamp and the cellar walls looked like after a flooding. Also the doors were so low I could easily injure myself with an extremely minor hop. Also there was a wooden beam so low at the stairs that it demands wearing a hard hat. The main bath room was so small the sink was directly in front of the door and one has to squeeze by to get to the toilet. I've seen quite some houses but this was definitely one of the worst.
A friend of mine said to me that it was a mistake not getting the house.

I'd need to invest 410€ for playing TOTK (the game, Switch, Pro Controller (ain't gonna play on the minuscule Joycon controllers)).
