I'm not a big fan of catfish, fried or not. It's just so...dirty tasting? It eats all the trash from the bottom of the water, no thanks. :p

So my buddy and I were riding around and stopped for lunch yesterday. He ended up ordering calamari has an appetizer, and I ended up trying it. It's actually not that bad, we had it fried with marinara sauce to dip it in, pretty good.

I was reallllly hesitant to try it, though. :p

Mmmmm... Fried Calamari. Yummy.

I heard eating seafood is a one-way shortcut to getting a food poisoning.

Fried Shrimp sounds nicer to me.

You believe everything you hear? Think about it, if that was the case, there wouldn't be half as many people eating, not even close to as many restaurants serving it, ect. Common sense really. :p

I know, is just that it raises the chances of getting that...

Oh well. I need to train my common senses.

Man I SO wanted to say something but I think I would get in trouble and everyone would think I was gay. But damn it would've been funny.... Some people might've figured it out.

Oh my god you didn't.. That is fucken disgusting if it is what I think it is. Sorry for swearing. Varine, how did you come to eating... that stuff. o_O

Buffalo Sauce. I had tasted some and I did not like it back in the day and just assumed they all tasted like that. I have Franks Red Hot Buffalo sauce now and I put that shit on everything :)

I honestly still don't like Buffalo sauce much. I can tolerate it now though, lol! Like, if I'm given it I'll eat it but I don't go out of my way to get it.

The other thing I can think of is Cottage cheese. I remember when I was younger thinking it was just so gross. Then, I got this lasagna recipe that called for it to mix in with Ricotta so I did it and I was converted. Now I can eat it straight out of the tub :)

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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
