I don't know if there has been a specific thread dedicated to this in the past of TH (search told me no, but I'm probably wrong...), but I would like to know how many of us TH members are involved in a relationship with another partner. Why? Curiosity. Most people lump people who post on forums and single guys into the same category, but I'd like to prove them wrong (potentially).

So! Vote in the poll, and add any additional comments / pictures you want to. (with partner's consent of course!)

Happy interneting.

Here's the problem with your thesis: If you seek to prove the forum poster stereotype wrong, then you must include an "I like pie" option in the poll and have very few people choose it. :p

Hmmmmmm... but that is impossible, you cannot resist such an option. I am giving the kind people of TH an honest chance, for I am a forgiving man... until you turn your back


HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

I MYSELF have HONORED the gamer code and have YET to get a girlfriend (yes, I am quite proud) Although there is a girl i have known for 10 years but my social ineptitude has allowed me to fail for all of those 10 years.

I guess like ElderKingpin discuss if you have had a partner in the past, how long you went out for, why it ended ETC...

I'm currently in a relationship... It's been about... 5 years now. Since High school.

Maybe change the questions to, "What's the longest time you've been in a relationship?"
They might not be in one currently, or they might have a max time of 1 month, (but they just get a new guy/girl every month). Then there's the on and offs.

Me, some girlfriends in middle school (short term, weeks maybe?). High school, a few. Currently with my girlfriend since March '09.
Currently a High School graduate.

I was thinking about that, but I figured it would be more fun to know the current situation of members, and not dwell on all their jr.high years (assuming the majority of people here are now older than that?)

Longest was over a year and was long enough for me to want to remain single for a lonnnnnnnnng time. I think that after that 1.5 year mark I'm too tempted to cheat. :)

I have a girlfriend, yet I still think I'm generally in the gamer/nerd zone. I've been with her for 2 years and ~ 4 months. Met her at surf church camp, and now we're both going to the same college for very similar degrees (she's going for Computer Systems, I'm going for Computer Science).

Had a girlfriend for 1 year and something, but we broke up 2 weeks ago. It is still unclear if we'll get back together or not, so I'm not voting now :p.

I had a few girlfriends. None lasted more than 3 weeks.
The Jack is not used to being nagged just for the treats afterwards!
So I guess I'm out of this poll... ;)

This thread has actually served as being a nice little reminder that it is my anniversary in 3 weeks (that will make it 4 years). It still feels like October.

I'm waiting until I'm ready to get married before I start dating, I don't really know when that'll be, I just know it isn't now lol -- might be another year or two, we'll see. I remember I had a GF for a short period when I was about 14, but that's about it.

I'm more or less the type of guy that supports the idea of 1 man, 1 woman, 1 house, 1 constant intake of money, 50 years of life, 25 years of retirement, some # of children, and have a nice outlook of life.

I look ahead more than just 3 months, if you compare it to nearly 90 years of my life.

And, the only girlfriend I once had, didn't last for more than 3 days, and I was in kindergarten at that time. That counts?

Well, I personally hate commitment and "going steady". I go on dates all the time and hang out with chicks all the time, but will not go steady unless I REALLY like the girl I'm dating. I'm not into the whole "I think you're hot, lets go out" stuff, I go for personality as well.

I do have lots of female friends, and get with chicks all the time. It's not that I can't, it's that I don't like being committed to one girl. I'm just living MY life right now, if I meet a girl I really enjoy spending time with and being around, then I'd go for it. In the mean time, I just meet chicks and hang out and such.

In short: I'm a slut. haha

    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
