    I don't know where it came from, but using need updated or needs fixed is spreading here. Illinois born and raised, I've heard it more in the past 5 years than the previous 30. But then, maybe it's always been here and I've only just realized that particular quirk of language exists.

    IVF is still an option after vascectomy. The procedure isn't too bad and recovery is quick.

    The other day I was complimented on my choice of beer in the grocery line by another customer. It does happen, and it did make me feel pretty good. Human interactions are always welcome.

    I really enjoyed building it! I printed the components on my aging workhorse. Went with a Phaetus Rapido hotend, and I installed a CANBus board on the toolhead to reduce mechanical complexity a bit. Also got the Hall effect endstop switches for the XY gantry, and a Euclid for the bed probe. Just about all of the upgrades are worth it in my mind.

    I bought a used DaVinci 1.0 A from a friend of mine in 2016 and threw repetier on it. In 2017 I built my first i3 (Prusa Mk2 clone), that thing was my main workhorse until last year. I printed over 5km of filament through the homebuilt machine. Last year I built a Voron 2.4r2. Just slowly upgrading, refining processes, and using printers as a force multiplier for other hobbies.
