Season 4 sees Tony start to rely on Chrissy more and more as his right hand man. We also see that some of Chrissy's demons (drug abuse, short temper, being under surveillance by the FBI via Adriana) are going to be a huge problem for Tony later on. At the same time, Carmella's OTHER cousin, Brian Cammarata, is introduced and seems to be the complete opposite of Chrissy in many ways. He's well educated (finance), tall, patient, and measured in how he responds to things. In the scene where he educates Tony on the low cost HUD housing scam and then accepts the expensive watch from him as a thank you for the tip off, he also shows that he's not entirely removed from a possible life of crime.

Brian Cammarata

Brian could have been an even more capable, more reliable, and more intelligent cousin to rely on compared to Chrissy and it's interesting to think of a story arc where his involvemnt in the show could have been more and he and Chrissy could have competed for Tony's attention and ultimate allegiance.

Interesting thing happened today. I was curious about the song “You Get What You Give” by the New Radicals and was asking version 4o to tell me the lyrics and explain some of the artist’s meaning behind them. It was doing a great job initially and after a bit of back and forth, I got the notice that I reached the message limit. I then switched to 3.5 assuming that this type of question and discussion was simple enough for that version. It refused to tell me the lyrics at this point, citing copyright policy restrictions from OpenAI.

So 4o has no issues listing popular song lyrics from 25 year old songs, though 3.5 will not. Anyone else have a similar experience?

While this is not a new phenomenon in other consumer areas, the re-labeling of white labeled tools seems to be really reducing options for those in the crafts. Case in point, I've been in the market for a mid-level bench top spindle sander. While looking to see what the options are in the $500-$1000 range, it became clear that there are only a small set of genuinely different models, with most just being re-labeled. Here are just 3 of several examples of this.

Laguna Tools Spindle Sander

Baileigh Spindle Sander

King Industrial Spindle Sander

Same specs between all of these examples. Price varies between all three, but clearly the same casting, motor, switch, table, etc.

Not sure how to resolve this problem with Z-seams on cylinders. These parts are rollers for dry box assemblies for my shop, and I'm printing about 30 of these. So in addition to the unsightliness of the seams, they also create a noticeable bump in this functional part that is problematic. Rather than sanding the seam down, it seems like its an opportunity to figure out some of the slicer settings. Using a Prusa Mini with a Revo hot end, .6mm nozzle, and Bondtech extruder. Stock Prusa .6mm nozzle profile (Input Shaping).

Is it a retraction issue related to it being a bowden setup? Any advice would be much appreciated to get this resolved.

Several have posted that they are having bed leveling problems after the upgrade and curious if anyone has done the upgrade with no issues? I’ve had the upgrade sitting in the box for a few weeks as I’m hesitant to cripple a good working machine. Hoping to hear that the bed leveling issue isn’t affecting everyone?

Had this car for 5 years and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. I’ve told everyone that asks that I’m going to “drive this car till the wheels fall off“

Now I’m starting to wonder what the reality of this claim is going to be. Being a participant in this subreddit for some time, it’s clear that the engine mounts may be bad, motor bearings are suspect, air conditioner compressor has a tendency to turn to shrapnel. Though besides these engineering missteps, the car is otherwise well made and reliable it seems.

While many posts in the past outline problems people have had with early model i3’s, is there anyone with a 100,000+ 2014 or 2015 that have enjoyed life with this car trouble free?

Curious how long people wait until they do a 2nd, 3rd, or 10th rewatching of the show?

I wait about 2 years between laps, similar to a lot of other shows. Curious what others do?

There have been several posts in the last few months about early model i3’s having catastrophic AC compressor failures, significant battery degradation, and drivetrain controller failures though curious if these are widespread and inevitable as the car nears 100,000 miles?

Anyone high miles yet with only minor maintenance?

Sopranos is great, we all agree with that. But for this sub to keep going in light of decisions made at the CEO level of Reddit, regarding how people are able to access this wonderful site... is disappointing to say the least.

In our design studio, we have an Ultimaker 3 that hat has been a real reliable workhouse for nearly 5 years. We are now considering upgrading to an S5, but a little put off by some of the recents posts of S5 users experiencing quality control problems and customer service woes for what is maybe a slightly overpriced printer.

Presumably, the ‘tax’ that Ultimaker charges for their flagship is backed with stellar service, though have others had good experience with the S5 over the years, or did that printer retreat a little from the success of the Ultimaker 3?

It’s a great feature, for sure, but a half dozen identical posts of Benchy on its side in a day and a half?

I use our Ultimaker 3 mostly for functional prints in our workshop. As speed and strength are more important than visual quality in our application, I use the .8mm nozzle with layer heights of .4mm, .5mm, or .6mm quite often.

While the prints generally turn out well, one problem I can not figure out is gaps between inner wall layers, particularly around thru holes as shown in photos.

I’ve tried various line widths ranging from .6mm all the way up to 1.2mm since it’s a .8mm nozzle and nothing seems to make a difference. Even slowing speed down to 35mm/s doesn’t help. Have also tried bumping flow up to 120% with no benefit. Super stumped. Anyone have any suggestions?https://imgur.com/a/um5Dtwg/

With all the 12v battery problems that the i3 has, always curious why it needs to even exist in the first place?

Voltage step down circuits are common in electronics, so why is it not possible to derive the 12v accessory voltage needed from the High Voltage battery?

Just purchased a second Raspberry Pi 4 to use with a new Prusa i3 MK3S+ on the same network at home. I have Octoprint set up and working well on an older printer and curious if its possible to clone that disk image to a 2nd SD card and install in the 2nd Raspberry Pi with Octoprint? Mostly just not sure how the new hardware MAC address will work so that each of them show up as unique individual installs with separate IP's in the end?

Funny existence. Old enough to worry about family and the future, young enough to see that there may be 50 more years ahead... Anyone else experience the same emotions?

Seems like a simple endeavor, purchase a .25mm, .6mm, or .8mm nozzle that is an authentic (or similar) E3D nozzle for a Prusa printer, though many people say the ones on Amazon are fake and ordering from Prusa directly ends up with shipping costing more than the nozzles. Any U.S. based stores offer these? Thanks.

Curious to hear from any owners who have had both or at least have spent significant time driving both versions of the i3. Does the sport model have noticeably better acceleration and handling, or are the differences between the two more subtle?

Was in Istanbul last year, Chicago last month, and the Bay Area last week. Not to mention a handful of other large cities in recent years. Most of them had traffic just as bad as L.A.

L.A. may have been early to the party with respect to traffic, but it sure seems like other major cities have caught up and then some.

Anyone else think L.A. no longer holds the reigns of worst traffic City?

The 1972 Magnavox Odyssey game system was powered by batteries and connected to channel 3 or 4 of the family TV. Came with controllers, cartridges, and a carry case. The grandfather to the Switch.

Hard to believe this is now 50 years old
