So basically what you're saying is that you should have done nothing for another 24 hours.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

I just checked your weather and found out you live just north of the banana belt. Send some of that "heat" out here.

I live my life below the banana belt...all four inches at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those 20 seconds or less, I'm free.

Your jealousy cheapens you, Gnat. I suffer quietly on your behalf for the shame felt by your ancestors.

I may have a problem...

For Black Friday I bought 10kg of PLA for $100 (no shipping or taxes). I've used 2 spools so far and am working through a 3rd, so I have 7 unopened spools (not to mention probably another 8-10kg of filament from other manufacturers).

Today I found that company was doing another 10 for $100 deal and now I'm going to have another 10 spools running around.

Maybe I can print something to store all this filament in...

Very cool! Consider how much the raw material must cost to print something like a full suit.
