He can't be American born... It's not the misspellings that give it away; it's the grammatical mistakes. You only see people missuse things like articles when they are going from one language to another. [...]
[...] No native English speaker would make such obvious mistakes over and over and over again. Therefore, he is not native. But hey, that doesn't mean he isn't American; after all we are a country of muts.
I'd like to know which part of the country you live in, now. I'm here in the Shenando-er Valley of Virgin-ee these days, and I can confidently say that Firecat would fit right in with this predominately native-born, white population. He could probably even teach them a thing or two.

And this is a pretty amusing thread. Thanks to all who've helped make me laugh here tonight. Firecat... keep on being you. Don't ever let anyone put you down.

No. Dextromethorphan is dangerous. Even at normal levels it can cause hallucinations and can cause sudden death syndrome when you fall asleep because it can fuck with the heart's rhythm and cause fibrillation, and in higher doses, which is not very hard to achieve, it can cause spasms of your organs and hyperthermia to the extent of brain damage.

If you take like a tablespoon of the really strong Robitussin and a couple shots of vodka your IQ can drop significantly. I think it goes back to normal eventually though.

That's the problem with being a kid... sometimes when you can't get what you want, you end up doin' some stupid shit like robotrippin'. It's a wonder none of us are worse off than we are 'cuz of it.

My childhood was full of questionable moves, like gettin lit off a couple bottles of Robitussin or a handful of triple c's. Just commenting on how I'm glad nothin' stupider ever happened than what did.

Yeah whatever, we all know that lead to weed. Except for Colorado, they're in denial.

On it.

And in our attempts to make a justification of deciding if he's American or not, I have seen Cheshire make, on occasion, pretty coherent, if not somewhat intelligent, posts. Some of them were a few paragraphs. Therefore, I must make the determination that he is American, and also a habitual user of alcohol and Dextromethorphan.

Any intelligent posts were plagiarism. I stick by my assumption that English is not FireCat's native language. I just can't bring myself to believe that anyone could mistake as many articles as he does. Even imagining an extremely low IQ English native, I can't imagine so many mismatches occurring. The rate is astounding!

Fyeah.

This implies that you've never read another's posts on Facebook.

I'm from Earth and Yes i'm white like "Fatmankev" said lol "that's all you need to know" @Dan
Btw: It seems you are going through a very traumatic time and you seriously need a hug.
Hmm if "you are intelligent enough" you would do it. Well, maybe god would help you with that? Oh, maybe then you get a inner peace in your mind. About my English. Ha

I came to the conclusion months back that everything Firecat types is intricately designed to cause us harm on a psychological level. In fact, I feel that goes to show how powerful his mastery of this language really is. We've all tried writing in Firecat: our work is passable, but it could never take the same sort of emotional toll on someone as the real thing.

Thanks Fatmankev; that gave me a real laugh. XDXDXD

Unfortunately, identifying the problem doesn't do much toward finding some kind of solution to it. Only those strong of body and mind can persevere through the words of Firecat, and one day bring his reign of tyranny against our subconscious minds to an end.

Can we rent the forum out to a psych school or something for analysis?

That sounds halfway brilliant... I wonder what you'd have to do to go about accomplishing something like that? Do they do that sort of thing ever?

I got paid eighty bucks to be in a psych experiment when I was in school. We sat in a room and they they counted how many lies to we told to people. I apparently lied 12 times in the first seven minutes of our introduction.

    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
