Comment on Are there alternative ways to invest savings? in ~finance
Markpelly Link ParentThanks for commenting. The point wasn't about being safe, it was about bringing your money to a place with better morals. That was the main reason for posting.

So if you are going to do a CD to save some money, bring it to them. I've been in the credit union space for 10 years and it's such a great community.

Comment on 3D printers, do you use glue stick? in ~hobbies

I had tried some ABS and it recommended using glue, so I tried it for the first time. No issues, no sticking issues. However I have used glue on all prints since then just because. I could get away without it but it doesn't hurt.
I think my question is, how often do people reapply glue or completely clean all the glue off and reapply? I will add glue and do like 15 prints before adding a bit more glue. And then I will completely clean the plate after maybe 50 prints. I'm probably not doing this right but I don't have any issues so I'm not sure.

And no matter I did, I could not resolve really terrible laggy picture, it was very clear in sports games. I tried so many settings, and multiple Chromecasts and Google TV sticks, all of them had this issue. I switched to the Google TV built in, everything was solved. But the built in Google TV is no where as fast as even the legacy versions I have.

It all started to fall apart though, I'm sure it was around the same time others started to. It's a bummer because I want a cheap electric car in the future, and a used Model 3 is a nice option, but I don't know that I would even consider it now..

I'd love to just work on assorted projects all day. Woodworking, plumbing, electronics, gardening, etc. I love trying new things but I also enjoy doing them well and getting that satisfaction. Who knows maybe I'll be a handyman later in life.
