You said you were plugged into ethernet when it happened. Could have been a surge/spike that fried your network adapter. That's happened to me a few times. Anything else hardwired to the same router, switch, etc. that no longer connects to the internet?

Some build plates will absolutely get destroyed by PETG if you don't use glue stick.


Why would you print PETG on a build plate not designed for it? Especially when the most common/popular build plates (and the one that ships with the OPs printer), PEI coated, prints amazingly with PETG and no glue. Like, you would have to go out of your way to buy a non-compatible PETG build plate to print PETG on.

I never use a glue stick except for thin TPU prints and that is bc it sticks too well and the glue layer actually makes it easier to get off. PLA, PETG, full plate large ASA. Glue stick is a crutch for not dialing in your settings.
Here's one: Don't touch the build plate. If you touch have to touch the build plate, clean it before printing. Your hands are greasy and that can cause adhesion issues where your print does not stick to the build plate.

I use 90% IPA and a paper towel. Do it right before the print, It evaps quick and you're good to go. Some people will be along shortly to say don't use IPA and to use soap and water only and dry it in your dish rack, but those people are full of shite.
I've used 2 sims before in my pixel. IIRC you can turn data off on your main SIM and just have data on through your eSIM.

You might have to still turn on ATT's international day pass on your account for your calls/text to work via your main SIM. It's like ~$12/day unlimited use if you use your phone for calls/text/data and they cap it at 10 days/per billing period. So, after 10 days its free. Hardly worth it to mess with local SIMs at that pricing IMO.
I work in this space, large companies websites go to shite because they have numerous discrete teams all trying to do their own thing and adding their shitty code to the codebase.

It's more than that. The freedom is about not being locked into a single ecosystem and all the BS that comes with it.

Enjoy not having to do FaceTime, or use one of the other many apps you and your people probably already have that do video calls, social media apps, whatsapp, zoom, meet, etc.

Dumb question prolly, but how vulnerable to gators are you in those things? Any reason to be concerned using them in the waters around Hopedale and Shell Beach?


Never had a problem with gators when inshore fishing. frickin dolphins tho, frick those guys.
I went out to the Perkins Road park a few years ago to try to catch some. The bank of that pond was absolutely packed with people not catching shite except for one guy who was pretty consistently bringing them in. He was using PowerBait for Rainbow trout on a small octopus hook on the bottom. Also, a couple weeks ago a buddy of mine around the northshore area caught some over there on an inline spinner.
You should be storing your music projects on external drives/cloud whatever. On the laptop you just need space for your OS, programs you need to run and some overhead to store some files locally.
Fiverr could be a good place to find someone for something like this.

Do you have to bring your own or do you just want to bring your own? If the later, I'd probably recommend a "spinning setup" since baitcasters have more of a learning curve unless you make them so tight you can only throw 10ft. Shimano or Diawa on a medium fast rod for me. If you are going with a guide or a buddy with a boat I'm sure both would have a pole you can use.
