How can your brain play tricks on "you," when you are your brain?

First. We don't know everything about our brain. Right? Second. Our brains control our dreams. No?

So I'm pretty sure.. a brain can trick you "A trick Mind?" hehe

Well, If you see something you thought it was Or you think it's Just a sqrage smiley "It's just an example. lol" but It isn't. Doesn't it means.. the brain tricked/confused you?

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can the brain. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for thinking that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go dream to want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do trick more like thoughts. It's just common sense Firecat, I just don't understand how you don't like think more he like.

There's more to our brains than our conscious thoughts and actions.
Playing tricks is one thing. Sometimes one side of your brain tries to kill you.

Well yea if it gets damaged it'll malfunction. But I don't see how you can argue that the brain isn't you and vice versa. You can be unaware of things about yourself and even do things that aren't the best for you (smoking cigarettes, eating tons of cheeseburgers), it doesn't mean it's not part of you.

The brain is a part of your body and the brain is who you are and what makes your personality. But that doesn't mean the brain cannot trick you. Doesn't have to do with damage at all.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
