I have about a dozen friends with the Ender 3. They all seem to like it. Decent printer for its price.

Are weed barriers biodegradable? Bob, He Who Likes to Make Stuff, built a raised garden on their lawn, with old cardboard between the grass and the garden soil. Someone commented "Why not use a weed barrier?"

Somebody responded "It breaks down and you end up eating it!"

I just invented something! I call it "freebeard's 100% hemp weed barrier!"

Watch, someone invented it three hours before me, but I couldn't find it, so I proceeded as fast as possible, but only get three sales, while they get hundreds of upvotes sales an hour!

Moms!

I think that I made $36,000 last year. I received my W2 the other day and I should receive my 1099 soon, but being 1099 I just need to figure out how much I received.

The agency doesn't deduct anything.

Boom cards!

I don't even know what those are, but whenever one speech therapist asks a question, everyone shouts the same answer, without any context or anything!

However it comes to mind: what the heck is freebeard going to make with a 3d printer, and can he afford the filament?
