Moar MMU3 progress! This thing’s finally starting to look like the picture on the box. Got a few more spool holders to cobble together, then some modifications to the printer itself. Hoping to have it whirring away this weekend

Healthcare

I keep hearing news reports refer to the ā€œmillions of customersā€ that United Healthcare has. I don’t think that’s accurate. They have claimant members, but the real customers tend to be employers. Members don’t get much of a choice and employers don’t feel much pressure related to healthcare choices.

@chimbosonic Yeah, I got a kit but had to print most of the plastic parts myself. I almost wish I'd gone with a fun color - but they included a couple spools of black PETG, so I figured I'd stick to the happy path. Assembly's been pretty fun!

@DrewCommins Yeah, I've noticed that bit is pretty flexy & flimsy. I guess on the bright side, I can print another as long as the printer keeps working šŸ¤ž

Folks, I don't think the Spotify Wrapped 2024 AI podcast hosts - who are definitely humans who personally recorded a 4-minute episode just for me - I don't think they are actually all that familiar with any of the artists or songs I've listenened to this year. šŸ¤”

@catsalad instead of groaning, i just now mooed

Also I don't know how, but they managed to sound only slightly bored and sarcastic about my music choices over the year? Like, mostly professional but with just a soupƧon of ennui over having to record this thing

@cederbs At one point, one of the hosts was like "wow you really listened to a lot of Information Society this year, they're a real cLaSsIc šŸ™„" and I was like hey man what the hell
