I had it, and I'm happy. But not quite happy with it.

As it turns out, it caused a lot of problems, giving others the impression that I've nothing to do at home but sitting in the chair watching movies from morning till bedtime.

I'm myself a household record breaker of watching movies since two weeks ago, and renting favorite movie DVDs at Blockbuster from 2010 to 2011.

I've probably watched some 30+ movies or so for the last couple of days. Nonstop watching and taking the disc out of my laptop.

Who else have done so? How did it turned out? In my situation, it didn't turn out so good. I had to stop somewhere, but I don't know how addicted I was to keep coming back to Blockbuster and scaring the the employees out, until after my brother told me about it. :p

Probably lost a couple of bucks along the way...

Holy crap, that's extreme!
Seriously, No wonder they gave you that impression.

Wow; that is quite extreme indeed! :eek:
Perhaps you could use all that free time you have to do something slightly more productive?

Most I've watched is three movies in a single day. And always with someone else to talk to/cuddle (depending on the gender of said person).

Me and my friends occasionally have movie marathons, but because they usually take place at night with many, many films, not everyone makes it through the night. We have a couple coming up actually. One will be a casual affair with gaming and other stuff, while the second is "movies we really should've seen by now but haven't". It's a fairly long list :p

I think the most I've watched in one day with others was about 3. I vaguely remember falling asleep midway through Die Hard.

And I do have a friend who watches entire seasons of TV shows (especially X Files and Simpsons) in just a day.

No. I can't even sit through a single movie most times, literally. I almost never watch a movie unless I'm on a date or my mom wants to watch something. Unless the movie is super interesting to me, I get bored really fast. :p

Usually a man for the latter. :D

I've watched all three, extended version, Lord of the Rings before, as well as all six Star Wars.

Always a female for the latter. Though I'd make an exception for you. ;)

Lord of the Rings was my record too. Though I had breaks in between, and they weren't extended.

My record is about 4 or 5. Quite recently right before I got my first pay check from my new job I went to blockbuster and rented $55 of movies, and another $30 or so of Games. It was a very lazy weekend due to rain and stuff

Of course.
LotR, Star Wars, all day, only during the summer/breaks though.

I've yet to do Harry Potter. I'm waiting for part 2 to come out on DVD, and then I'll probably do it. :)

We just attempted a Harry Potter marathon. It... didn't exactly come off well on account of misplacing the second film's DVD, and one person had to go home due to her parents being overly-controlling. Either way, we're resuming tomorrow from #4 and finishing off with the last one in the cinema in the evening.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
