       A little saddened by the poll results. Alt text isn't only for those with vision problems! I sometimes provide more info or context to stuff in the pic, as it's kinda awkward to try to describe 4 pics in the main body of post. Also if I am describing what is seen, I try to do so in a way that would make sense if one couldn't see, so maybe it’s a lil awkward to read sometimes. But anyway, try reading folks’ alt text / desc more! Uncover a whole new world.

       @DeltaWye does it have to be Creality? For small stuff (<6") it seems like resin 3D Printers can create some of the nicest prints - very little cleanup or finishing work needed. As long as you can deal w/ fumes / extraction.

       I should probably pin something like this sometime:I don't always get cues, especially online ones that can be lacking/devoid of context, facial expressions, visual/social cues, etc.If I ever do something wrong/bad: Please just tell me directly (privately), no matter what or how small or big it is.I'm always looking to improve. I have improved but it's an endless struggle. Sometimes I "get" it but other times I may completely miss it.To quote Glengarry Glen Ross: "What? Say the words!"

       I don't know why but I'm annoyed that in English there's no special term for one's aunt’s/uncle’s children? Nor for their children either? Cousin to me seems like a way further removed sorta thing. And the "first __ x removed" wording seems so clunky too for the children. I don't know if other languages do this better but am curious what better terms could/would be like.Also is aunt/uncle-in-law an official thing too or no? It seems like there should be but folks just lump these together?

       @mntmn @PurpleJillybeans didn’t someone do the math and found out that having all these extra characters in email and having to transmit and store them likely consumed more resources / polluted more than the few papers it actually ever prevented being printed? Including the times where folks do need to print emails and this pointless signature is included (or even wasting more 📄)Long ago I wondered that and found a good calculation/writeup (before Search was ruined) but ofc not finding it now.
