An uncomfortable conversation with Andrew Yang

After my first interview with Andrew Yang, I found notes from April 2019 about how he and other candidates had been blocked from appearing on The Last Word, the MSNBC show I worked on for almost seven years. Andrew needed clarification about how the democratic process had been short circuited, so he asked me back to appear with him on Instagram Live today. It was not a comfortable conversation but it was an important one. I hope it's the first of other difficult discussions. We have to be fully transparent if we're going to make the needed changes to help fix this democracy.


I can't thank Andrew enough for providing the space to start this dialogue. I know he didn't realize how personal our conversation was going to get. It might be a challenge, but he gives me hope for the future.


Watch my interview with Andrew on YouTube. Here we discuss my concerns about television news and the possible fixes we may consider:

2. 3D Printer Electrical Noise and 3D Printer Interference

Modern 3D printers rely on precise stepper motor movements and 3D Printer accurate temperature readings. Electrical noise can disrupt these:

While common 3D printing issues like stringing, warping, and layer shifting are widely discussed, there are several less commonly acknowledged or understood problems that can significantly impact print quality and machine longevity. Here are some of those "less known" issues:

Less Known Issues in 3D Printing

1. 3D Printing Filament Moisture Absorption (beyond the obvious "3D Printer popping")

 

 

Most users know that wet filament can cause popping sounds and visibly poor prints (stringing, bubbles). However, the subtle effects are often overlooked:

  • 3D Printer Uneven Footing/3D Printer Surface: A print surface that isn't perfectly rigid or level can introduce subtle rocking or movement during printing, even if the printer itself feels stable, leading to inconsistent layer height or bed adhesion.

  • 3D Printer Internal Vibrations: Motors, fans, or even poorly tightened bolts within the printer itself can create subtle vibrations that transmit through the frame and affect print quality, especially on machines without robust frames. 

6. 3D Printer Aging and 3D Printer Wear of Components

Printers, like any machine, degrade over time, often subtly:
