Altavista was the cool kid Tell me you are old without telling me your age xD

But back to topic. Yeah i get your point, even if I still think “But yeah we have 2023 and not floppy disks anymore…” and maybe i overreacted a lil bit about the question with a salty link reply…

In the end i think you’re right the World is full enough of shitty people, next time i try to reply a bit nice even if I am pissed off that it happened the 265916th time (i cannot promise But i will try ;))

So for everybody who read the discussion Till here:

I also recommend to print it with “two layer Support” because i had a lot of trouble that everything kept on the print bed even with really big beim setup.

Good on you mate. I have no idea why you are being downvoted when you are being the big man when called out.

I do understand your position - it is bloody annoying to have to remind people how the web works but in this case you are doing a “show and tell”.

When doing something like that I think you should show all and tell all. “Here’s what I did and how I did it and here’s how you can do it too”. That’s why I went in with the rather dodgy ankle reference! Think about when you see those influencers with worryingly pneumatic lips and arses that might double as seating for a friend. They show all, really all and some make a decent living at it. Now think about what sort of response you want for one of your show and tells.

I do confess that I used to do the same as you - I blasted away at someone on The Register a fair few years ago and was called out and subsequently apologised. That was a game changer for me and I suspect for you now. That doesn’t mean that you can’t get riled occasionally but make sure it counts and you are in the right or at least nearly right … OK you think you are right 8)

Cool beans!

Cheers Jon

I think the downvotes are just for the earlier comments where they didn’t come off great. The turnaround post is getting positive.

And personally I loved the ankle analogy. Happy birthday!
