Wouldn't it be 2^7 copies by the end of ante 8? Since the negative copies also spawn one. So the mult would be 1.5^128 which is x3.46e22

If you're getting nozzle clogs, then it's probably not necessarily moisture but dust being an issue. Dusty and dirty filament pulls dust into the hotend, and the dust doesn't melt so the buildup clogs the nozzle. I've made rudimentary wipes by stabbing the filament through some foam (the grey stuff you find in pelican cases) so that it'll clean the filament of any surface dust as it travels through.

For drying the filament, I set the heated bed to just below the glass transition temp of the filament, put the spool on and leave it there. There are some guides for other methods, but I haven't tried anything else so I can't comment on them.

Are the filaments still in their original packaging and if not, how were they stored? The main thing with old filaments is how much water they've absorbed from the environment, with older filaments stored in high humidity environments causing issues for print quality.

If your filaments have been stored sealed in original packaging, they'll probably print like new. If they've been stored in an airtight container they'll probably also be pretty good. You can also just give them a shot and see if you're happy with the quality they provide.

If they've been stored open on a shelf, it isn't necessarily over for them though. Look up guides on how to dry out filament. There's a few products you can buy that do it too, but if you have a printer with an enclosure and heated bed you can use that as an oven to bake out your filament.

I've got a few filaments that have been sitting for over 6 years and after baking out they print absolutely fine.

I'm guessing they meant This Old Tony

It could be tidally locked to the sun too. Then days would truly cease to exist, you'd just have a hot side and a cold side.

To be clear, that's Cataclysm:Dark Days Ahead or CDDA. It's quite removed from the original cataclysm by whalesdev, and is more focused on strict realism. There is also Cataclysm Bright Nights which is closer to the arcadey feel of the original. Both are great and are open source.

Going to submit my probably-not-a-puzzle-game-game: rhythm games. The game tells you exactly what to press and when you're supposed to press it, it's just up to you to actually press the buttons. See: DDR, Rhythm Doctor.

Note that there are rhythm games that have more decision making like crypt of the necrodancer (rhythm roguelike)

Clickspring is currently recreating the antikythera mechanism using period accurate tools and technology, which is low tech if you consider that it was high tech for the ancient greeks.

The interest you earn is the bank paying you for borrowing your money. Conversely, the interest you pay for your home loan is you paying the bank for borrowing their* money. (*the bank's money is actually all the bank's client's money)

The interest the bank wants from you is almost always going to be much higher than the interest they give you for borrowing your money, as they want to make some money as well. Hence it's almost always more worth it to minimise the amount of money you lose to the bank's interest than you gain from your interest.

Hypothetically if you had 400k in savings at 3% and had a 400k loan from the bank at 6%, it's obvious that the interest you get from the bank will be less than the interest the bank is getting from you. But the trick here is that your 3% is less than that due to tax since it's money gained, but the 6% is the same since it's money owed. So it's more effective to avoid being charged interest from a tax point of view as well.

Not directly answering your question, but if you haven't already you should take a look at the end of life disaster recovery repo.

Yes, it really is that bad. We have a resin printer at work and it has been banished to a different room due to the resin fumes. The table it sits on is perpetually sticky, and we go through twice as much IPA postprocessing the prints than we use in resin
