I see this sentiment posted a lot on here, and while I don’t disagree with the position, I’m not sure I understand what exactly is meant. When you say Americans should “grow a pair and fight”, what are you envisioning? Should I drive to my state capital and shoot the governor in the head?
I recommended this on the first post, surprised they didn’t try it.
I see 3 options.
1, adjust your z-offset. I’m not familiar with prusa’s firmware, but if your first layer is bulging, it could mean your z-offset needs adjusting.
2, see if your first layer line thickness is set above 100%. By default some slicers lay an extra thick first layer; you might try decreasing this.
3, get rid of the white on the first layer, and just make the second layer white. This is how I do multi-color lettering/ designs and it works incredibly well. I can show you pictures if my description doesn’t make sense.
I used to be like this until I got a job that required constant phone calls. Now if I have to explain something using more than three sentences I’d much rather just talk.
It isn’t that the prices are jacked up, it’s that it’s enough toilet paper to last until toilet paper goes out of style.
It doesn’t really. It’s a T-intersection, where the top of the T has stop signs, and the bottom leg does not. If you are on one side of the T, you must enter the intersection, such that you are in the path of the bottom leg, before you can see if there is anyone coming from that direction.
The people coming from the bottom leg (with no sign) have no reason to stop or slow down, and would generally not have reason to look in the direction the fence is blocking visibility. I don’t think traffic coming from that direction even recognizes the obstruction. All they see is someone suddenly creeping into the intersection in front of them, when they can be mere yards from them.
They’re building a school near where I live and they’ve got these things all around the site. Problem is, there’s an awkward intersection at one of the corners of the site, and traffic coming from the street that is 95% blocked by the fence does not have a stop/yield sign. So now everyone has to slowly approach the intersection, and slowly creep forward until you’re halfway in the intersection to see clearly, and hope a car isn’t barreling towards you at 30MPH.
God, I used to bike around here.
I marathoned the Lord of the Rings trilogy ~15 years ago on cable.
It was awful. Commercials were bad enough, but I’d only seen the extended editions, and getting through all three movies in like 7 hours felt like absolute blasphemy. It would cut to a commercial break and when it came back it’s like they skipped 30 minutes every time.
My work buddy will only eat meals made from single-ingredient foods because of “all the extra shit they put in there”, and smokes a pack a week.
Damn, Scott Manley. Haven’t heard that name since the Kerbal Space Program days.
I think capitalism was a great and necessary thing to get humanity to it’s current post-scarcity state. As you said, production and innovation were really aided by capitalism in the early days of man, but now that we have all the shit we need to survive, all it does is deprive those without.
Lychee (the resin printing slicer) offers a 30 day trial. They have many users with the first name “Fuck” and the last name “Lychee”, coincidentally all with sequential “[email protected]” email accounts.
Anything bad = AI 😠
Someone post the comic about people learning something for the first time.
You’re pretty much spot on. It’s also why in the movies and books, the Ring Wraiths generally just look like black cloaks; not even dark shadowy figures in cloaks, literally just the black cloaks. But when Frodo puts on the ring when surrounded on Weathertop, he can clearly see their distinct faces and features, and they can immediately tell who has the ring.
It wouldn’t turn a human invisible because it only turns hobbitis invisible.
See: the intro to the first movie. Isildur, after his victory at Mt Doom, uses the Ring to turn invisible in attempts to escape a group of orcs that attacked his party.
Reading the article, it seems like the intent of this technology is much more geared toward manufacturing supply chains, rather than saying “this part came from John Doe’s Ender 3”. As many people have pointed out, consumer/ hobbyist grade 3D printers aren’t nearly consistent enough to produce anything resembling something as unique as a true “fingerprint”, and when you consider that most printers are modified in some way… There’s just zero possibility of it being used in that way.
The only way I could see it being used in that way is trying to prove that this printer printed this part; if they have the printed part, and it hasn’t been post-processed at all (sanded, treated, etc), they could reprint the same part on the printer in question and see if it’s “fingerprint” is the same. But I’d be pretty surprised if this tech could even reliably say, “this part came from an Ender, this part came from a Neptune, and this one from came from a P1”.
I think the current mind state of the group is more important than sobriety or gender (though both of those probably play a role). At least for me, I can have a hard time immediately switching gears socially, that coupled with the shock of having someone start ranting about something I had no idea of, would be hard to be a total role model. I’d probably end up doing something similar to OOP, I definitely wouldn’t awkwardly leave because I’d feel too bad, I’d probably ask if they’d talked to anyone or seen a doctor but if the other guy was also super drunk and ranting I don’t know how long I’d be able to stick around
The advice is more meant for changing through gears, not starting from a stop. As mentioned, you don’t really need much gas to get going.
