In my area when National Grid abandoned our local power station they sabotaged it before ditching it on the city. Now we got an abandoned hulk that's an environmental and economic disaster and will require millions to dismantle or repurpose.
It can help a bit but it's not a magic bullet. You're usually not using that much plastic in infill to do a full purge, and the current implementation doesn't add more infill if there's more purge needed. Toolchangers stand to benefit the most from it since they only need to purge enough to prime the nozzle again.
There's also a side problem I've noticed with purge to infill, it's way less forgiving if your filament has too much colorant or you have your purge amounts wrong. Having a perfect print that had it's colors bleed sucks.
We recently started enforcing a policy of scanning external media before letting it be usable by the system and the time it takes for MBAM to scan a flash drive takes so long it's driven the most complaints of any IT policy change we've made. Some people are just so latched on to that floppy disk lifestyle that the only change to their workflow in decades has been what part of the computer they put their storage in.
There's a large creek that feeds into lake Erie nearby that we used to hike and swim for several miles until we got to the lake. It was an all day affair, but it was a great time. Our dog at the time was a lab shepherd mix and I think those hikes were some of the best times of his life, getting to explore and swim and run like a goof. I don't ever want to live in a place without good access to large bodies of water, summers wouldn't be the same without it.
For me, I run to wikis most often to get numbers. It's frustrating how far some games go to hide exactly how much faster an upgrade will make you, or what the fuck a status effect means. Dead by Daylight had this problem for a long time until they finally put numbers in perk descriptions. Risk of Rain 2 half implemented a good solution- tooltip style descriptions when you hover over items or terms, but it's not applied universally or more confusingly, not on the status effect icons that appear in a run.
Almost always at our company it's because of a push by a higher up who won't be the one staying late when it all blows up. It's bad management at it's finest.
Also, Monday releases usually suck as well. We shoot for Tuesday launches, since Mondays are usually when people are catching up on busy work, or most often out sick. Besides, it gives everyone a chance to review their launch obligations, do final pre-launch checks, and an opportunity to make a go/no go call during work hours, if you shoot for morning launches.
Having a series of data extraction/alteration tasks that regex made really easy. Regexr.com is a great playground for figuring it out, but having to use it in a practical way in my day to day for about a year cemented that skill.
We actually had a theater open up here recently in our village. It's been pretty successful, against all odds. I think they're a year into it and still the first couple nights of new productions sell out pretty quick. It's a joy seeing the community support for the project!
