FBI DIRECTOR KASH Patel enjoys access to a litany of professional perks, among them use of a Gulfstream G550 jet, a 15-passenger luxury aircraft owned by the Department of Justice that he has reportedly taken to visit his aspiring country musician girlfriend. Responding to growing outrage about his personal use of the government jet, Patel has insisted those who track his flights are dangerous and cowardly.

Only started 3d printing recently so I don’t really have any thing to compare against so I’m asking the community. How bad are these VFAs? Should I just leave as is or is this bad enough to try to troubleshoot?

Hi, I’ve been printing for about a year, sometimes even successfully, but on this specific print, the nozzle drags through the layer for no reason. Usually, a Z-Hop prevents that, but on this very print, the Slicer somehow doesn’t add one. I’m using Orca Slicer (dockerized, Linuxserver.io image from last month, 15.09.25) and have enabled Z-Hop in the printhead config (all surfaces). It does add Z-Hops on other moves, just not here. And yes, I know my Z-Offset is a tinge too low, which is part of the problem, but I’d like to focus on Orca Slicer not Z-Hopping first.

Hello! Linux aficionado here, not an expert, first time on Mint; is there any way to have the bluetooth icon at the bottom right of the panel not show up on boot? I can close it as expected, but it always shows up when rebooting, and I’d just like to clean up that corner as I don’t usually use bt on this laptop. Thanks in advance for any answer :)

The prospect of chaos and war excited Jeffrey Epstein. The late New York financier and child abuser kept a keen eye on news about foreign conflicts that could be exploited for commercial gain. On February 21, 2014, Epstein sent an e-mail to Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, with whom he would partner the following year as investors in a security tech firm Reporty Homeland Security (later renamed Carbyne). Epstein wrote, “with civil unrest exploding in ukraine syria, somolia [sic], libya, and the desperation of those in power, isn’t this perfect for you.” Barak tried to tamp down his friend’s enthusiasm, noting, “You’re right [in] a way. But not simple to transform it into a cash flow.”
