“The worst mistake of first contact, made throughout history by individuals on both sides of every new encounter, has been the unfortunate habit of making assumptions. It often proved fatal.”

If you vote wrong once in a #democracy, you may simply have made a mistake …
if you make the same #mistake twice, perhaps it’s time to learn from it.
But the third time around, what do you choose …
the same deception again …
or finally your own judgment?

SARAH JANE: What’s gone wrong this time?
THE DOCTOR: Nothing. Nothing at all. What makes you think something’s gone wrong?
SARAH JANE: Because you always get rude when you’re trying to cover up a mistake.
THE DOCTOR: Nothing of consequence. Slight overshoot, easily rectified.
SARAH JANE: Come on, where are we?
THE DOCTOR: We’ve come out of the time vortex at the wrong point, that’s all. A few years too late.
SARAH JANE: How many?
THE DOCTOR: Thirty thousand.Doctor Who (1963-1989) British science fiction television series, original run (BBC)

My two cents on the #Iran "Deal".
I live in the #US and turned 18 while the #War in #Vietnam was still a thing. I went thru the last two military #Draft calls under #Nixon. I was lucky!
The only good thing about that war was that it ended! It was an obvious #mistake and the effort to save face and keep the #warmongers happy only delayed the inevitable.
The good news is both sides progressed and we are now on friendly terms with our former "enemy". That is a blessing.🙏
Our current war with #Iran is even more ill-advised, unnecessary, & incompetent. The only possible good outcome is that it END as quickly as possible. (It is far from over IMO.)
We elected #Trump, he started this war of choice, and now the entire US needs to eat humble pie and move on. Let him claim some sort of "art of the deal" victory. The only thing that matters is stopping the death and destruction!💀
The other historical parallel is how we got into Vietnam in the first place. We willingly took over from the colonial French based on fear of #Communism and falling dominoes. The current conflict was basically instigated by, or on behalf of, #Israel. Trump was lead by the nose down a garden path with promises of a quick fix in the #MiddleEast. There can be no such thing.

A slip on the pavement is better than a slip of the tongue;
the downfall of the wicked will occur just as speedily.

Everyone makes mistakes. What's important is to learn from them and for others not hold you to them forever, especially when the positives far outweigh the negative. Those others will also make mistakes and would want the same consideration.

I've been 3D-printing for around five and a half years. So I'm not a rookie, but I just made a #rookie #mistake.
I've spent the last couple of weeks making compartments and dividers and such for the toolboxes I take to the Repair Cafe. Lots of test #prints to check fits and footprints, full prints, changes to design based on lessons learned during use at the last cafe, etc. I've put around three kilograms of #filament through my printer in that time.
Then, in the last couple days, I started having various problems. At first they only showed up on big prints - #adhesion and #curling, which I've had before when pushing the limits of my bed size. But prints seemed to be getting #sloppier, and I had a couple of spaghetti explosions.
Tonight, I finally took the #hotend apart and looked at it closely - it's very difficult to do when the printer is fully assembled, because it's a #delta printer.
Lo and behold, the nozzle appeared worn. And that can account for all the problems.
I should have checked this sooner - but I've only been printing plain #PLA, nothing abrasive, so I didn't think of it. Lesson learned.
Pardon the shitty photo from a cheap digital magnifier. The old #nozzle #orifice is about 1.5x the diameter of the new one - so 2.25x the area. No wonder plastic was going everywhere but where it should go!
Seems to be printing *much* better with a new nozzle.

Sometimes AI machines make stupid mistakes. It took me three prompts to convince claude.ai that the next friday IS NOT on May 23. Funny

This must have been a #mistake. LOL I picked up this 5 pack of Kokuyo Campus B5, 100 sheet #notebooks for $6 per book. Most places list an individual book for $10-$14 USD.
I'm using these books for my daily writing now. Mostly because of the price, compared to an Apica CD Premium #notebook priced at $16 dollars, the Campus seemed like a reasonable option. I've seen that Doodlebud has compared these against his Muji paper, and thought that it was comparable. But since I don't have access to Muji paper here, the Campus is the best option.
These do hold up to #fountainpen usage. While I mostly use a fine nib, I have used a medium and even a broad nib with it, and it's been good. I don't know if it would work well with a 1.1mm nib, but I may try it at some point.
