So hopefully they’ll do something about this because it’s getting really really old

We were all sitting down for dinner when they were doing it

Or most of us, some were standing in the kitchen putting some food away

I had a run-in with some people that made me wonder "why" with some girls on the street the other day... I was walking, listening to a story podcast, this group of girls walking towards me [teenagers, young?] and the one girl goes "HEY" and I say hi back [a lot of people say hi despite my having headphones on, usually I say hi and that's that] but then she started asking questions. I pull off my headphones, and she says "do you watch anime?" and the other girl goes "do you play games?" and they both keep repeating questions, and I try to answer but am careful with the timing. Well... one of the questions they asked was "do you eat ~~bodily productions~~? are you a piece of ~~same thing~~?" and just got more vulgar from there, at which point I walked away, and was like... why, I don't know you, I did nothing to you

#

Some people are just horrible and disgusting for no apparent reason

(By learn I haven't even downloaded any software yet XD)

Which part of software? Modeling or the slicer software?

delicate stream Jul 20, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

lol

honest jolt Jul 20, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

👀 wait there are 2 parts to it

#

I feel dumb here XD

delicate stream Jul 20, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

Basically. First, you need a model, which either you can design yourself or download

#

Then, when you have a model, you need to slice it with a slicer, which is basically making the instructions for the printer

#

Thingiverse is great for downloading free models :D

scenic oak Jul 20, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

I'd imagine the library provides the slicer and known-to-work settings though

delicate stream Jul 20, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

Yeah, I'd hope the library with the printers has some info for you

scenic oak Jul 20, 2021, 1:51 AM

or you just give the library a STL?

I am waiting for my OSHpark boards and my attiny202s to show up (August 🙁 )

Random question... Is it weird that I can rip soda cans apart with my bare hands?

scenic oak Jul 20, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

eh, not really? that you want to and aren't concerned about slicing yourself? a bit?

delicate stream Jul 20, 2021, 2:05 AM

I've never sliced myself doing it before XD

scenic oak Jul 20, 2021, 2:05 AM

scenic oak Jul 20, 2021, 2:20 AM

#

yep

#

so much easier to exchange currency for one of the things

#

than it is to buy all the parts to make one of the things

delicate stream Jul 20, 2021, 2:22 AM

#

Yeah, I think the majority of people who want a thing will buy the thing, and the people who grab onto the board designs are going to tweak it for one reason or another

scenic oak Jul 20, 2021, 2:23 AM

Friendly reminder to check your printer profile before you save your gcode. Your Mini Select will not be happy when you use the MP10 profile.

But I waited like 2 months between them

dusty citrus Jul 20, 2021, 5:01 PM

A good friend who also got the 2nd dose kept saying just you wait for about three days after.

Three days came and went, then five, then seven: no ill effects.

Pretty much a non-event. A little soreness (like a bruise) for a couple of days, that was about it.

tardy badger Jul 20, 2021, 5:12 PM

#

I’ve considered it as my body doesn’t like getting a lot of shots in short periods of time (thank the military for that)

#

I learned you can develop vaccine sensitivity if you get a lot of vaccines over short periods of time like they do when you join the military

#

Basically your body throws a big temper tantrum which isn’t fun

late fulcrum Jul 20, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

It is recommended to wait at least two weeks before and after a vaccination during which you do not get additional vaccinations.

tardy badger Jul 20, 2021, 5:14 PM

My frankenDesktop PC never likes to keep the boot order I tell it to follow. It never wants to boot to the primary HDD that has the only bootable sector on it. The other HD's are for extra storage. It even tries booting to USB HD's or flashdrives that I left plugged in. I have repeatedly gone into the UEFI to check boot order and it never has the primary HDD as primary when other "storage" options are plugged in.

So, my question is, is it possible to build a 1 minute delay for the extra HD's using an Arduino nano as a timed data connect (automatic switch) to prevent my frankenputer from continuing this issue.

Please @ me when you reply. I will be afk

Yep, that's likely feasible, although instead of switching the data lines, I'd probably go after the power, so the secondary drives just turn on after boot. There are various Arduino relay shields which could be used for this.

I suspect it depends somewhat on the temperature of the mashed potatoes

delicate stream Jul 21, 2021, 1:17 AM

#

It mostly depends on if you're allowing explosive decompression, or sending it up slowly without any atmospheric sealing. Explosive decompression, it would spoof out, the liquid would basically rip it to a powder as it vaporizes, and you'd have potato powder [probably a finer consistency than instant mashed potatoes]. If you're sending it up the slow way, eventually the water would start to boil off, and depending on the rate of ascension it might puff and poof a bit, but eventually you'd have a pile of desiccated potato powder.

I had a really snooty security officer at one job, I kind of enjoyed pointing out dumb mistakes. And yes, lockpicking is fun. I went to a local storage unit place and asked them if they had a bucket of cut-off locks somewhere, sure enough they did and I bought it. Sure, about 2/3 was Master locks, but the others were more interesting.

Normally they just sell the locks as scrap metal: if you can beat that price (which isn't hard), it's worth their while, if you can give them a reasonable reason you want useless locks. In my case, I briefly explained locksport and that I was teaching some people and wanted practice locks.

AAPL seemed to IPO at 29.12 (or split-adjusted to 0.13) back in 1980. 100 shares then would have cost $2912 and have turned into 22,400 shares today, and at 145.40/share would net you 3.24mil

I saw this in some courses at Udacity and in the movie "The interniship"

I do not care for the glass

Retro girrrrlllllll

Oh absolutely

#

I want to get more retro stuff

delicate stream Jul 23, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

I have mixed tastes

#

I like retro, but also like my rainbow vomit

#

For retro rainbow vomit, I want to get an acrylic case... but I dunno how easy it is to get your hands on them these days. Probs have to make my own

#

Not brave enough to make an all tempered glass case, lol

I mean, I love modern stuff, don't get me wrong, but there's just an allure to old stuff too

I want to get a VT220 terminal and hook it up to a Pi

One "maybe eventually" project is making a text-based GUI of sorts for a terminal to control 3D prints

my other 2 bays are a multi card reader and a blue ray drive atm :3

Defenestration does have a habit of doing that.

tardy badger Jul 23, 2021, 6:51 PM

Doesn’t defenestration involve horse manure

#

Or is that just a bohemian thing

#

The were pretty Prague about it, so much so it happened I think 3 times

You have no idea how excited I was to see the window in Prague where the Defenestrations of Prague happened at.

Weirdly enough the first one didn’t really do anything

General whining. 😥 At 2 PM I received an email that over 800 macro pads were available. I hustled my fingers over to eight or fruit to find them out of stock. Come on people, couldn’t you have left me just one? Now don’t you feel ashamed and sorry for me, an old old man? 👨🏼‍🦳🤣😂🤣

Because if I get one, I will inevitably be like: "What's this one like?" to all the others

also ugh I did a bunch of looking up shipping rates today

thick wind Jul 24, 2021, 12:36 AM

Shipping is expensive if you don't have a multimillion dollar logistics network of your own...

static flare Jul 24, 2021, 12:37 AM

I'd love to just... have a place where I can ship things to in the US and then when it gets to a certain point economically, I can have it shipped to me in Australia

round obsidian Jul 24, 2021, 12:37 AM

Even including employee cost I sometimes think they make a killing on shipping prices. But if you want it you got a pay it.

scenic oak Jul 24, 2021, 12:50 AM

#

@static flare I know "freight forwarders" do exist, but have never looked into the actual cost but it looks like something like forward.me (not a recommendation) might fit your needs?

they'll allegedly consolidate for you

I bought these fruits in the farmer market. It tastes like sugar and they are very ugly. The eatable part is very short so it would be hard to make juice with it.
