    Thanks for the data! Let's hope this wasn't intentional.

    I really wish I could just use my Google TV on my Hisense TV. I had move from an older LG to this 2023 model Hisense, not connecting it to the Internet. Plugged in my Google TV. 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.

    I had been a huge fan initially because of his go getter attitude and working hard. I really enjoy learning about being a more productive person and applying that. 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..

    Yeah I know I know. I don't like to waste things, it's just me. I'll do what I can and cut my losses.

    When it fell off the spool it essentially was like a bound up spring, and created a bunch of knots within knots. I might take a video to demonstrate.

    I'm thinking something like this. I put one end in a drill and it kind of worked for some areas but the twisted different in other areas.

    It has a lot more twist in it than rope. It spins up into little clumps that require sending the filament through a maze. The problem I find is once I thread a section through a "knot" it just keeps repeating for the rest of the clump.

    The filament is detached and laying in a tangle on the floor, in a sad mess.

    I did look into respoolers but the problem I have is I only make it 10inches before I hit a tangled mess. I'm wondering if I need a respooler and a drill to spin the filament as it goes on.

    I have probably a 1/4 of a roll of filament that slid off a roll when I swapped it between a Bambu reusable spool holder. It's been on my floor for a couple months and I have not found any way of getting this back onto a spool, either by trial and error or by finding a good resource online.

    All the videos I see are people with tangles on spools, and this would be nice if I was in this situation but I am not.

    Any time I try to do this it's just so challenging to get any sort of rhythm or easy process with our ruining the entire thing.

    Any advice?
