The light is just so they can see you better and they actually just lasso you like cattle with an invisible rope. Physicists be damned.

Need for infinite hype means you need to full explain the thing so that the investors feel the company did everything in their power to make money back by spending extra money on marketing.

It's like a black hole of the wrong thoughts that spirals in on itself in poor logic.

"Come on man, I just need a couple more pets of your data and I will totally be able to predict you something useful!".
It's capacitors flip polarity in anticipation.

"I swear man! It's only a couple of orders of magnitude more, man! And all your dreams will come true. I'm sure I'll service you right!"

Well if it needs it, right?

Yeah I think people forget about print orientation and stuff like that with FDM.

I think the person said they printed with supports on but didn't have great results and my thought is how they didn't realize they made supports inside their part to get it to print that could have been solved with some mounting points for the bridging.

Which in theory sounds like something I could do... No animation...

But man slicer modifiers made me want to go insane and I barely managed to learn Photoshop, gimp, and the like.

But thanks. I'm noticing basically 2 camps for software and it helps at least narrow down what I'll find support for using I guess.

I agree that we should know how to tinker or slightly modify files as well but I'd say pulling out a separate software with a huge learning curve is a step that's hard to get people to swallow.

I think I really wanted to put emphasis on have to learn it, cause for things that feel simple to suddenly find it will take 30 hours of study and then several additional hours of fixing suddenly feels like a jump up in ask for making sure you can actually print a part successfully that's been posted in a 3D printer file site.

I had experience with simple tools but they don't seem to exist much anymore and the tools in the slicer software seem to exist to say they do which brings me back to the question of if I was missing something or had to learn a separate software.

But some of us aren't professional software engineers. And modifying something turns into a bigger project.

TinkerCAD seems to be a popular answer and I hope simple enough cause I'd love to see stuff I helped design reality but not making money on it too means time needs to be spent keeping myself alive first and thus extended hobby space much further down.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 5 days ago

So many CADs.

I grabbed FreeCAD but it made no sense to me.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 5 days ago

I am down to learn. It's why I asked but I will say there is a dozen softwares and forks out there and I am not in the right space to be able to spend large amounts of time learning the deep ins and outs. And I generally don't feel a constant need to design new pieces for myself.

But thank you for the suggestions and the video suggestions as well.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 5 days ago

Thanks that seems about right for my experiences but that seems like the info I need.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 5 days ago

Is that like their replacement for 3D paint? I used that once to add a hole to a model?

It's insane that I feel like I can understand the rules of 3D printing just fine but need to potentially put hundreds of hours learning software to fix other models so I can do it past the easier fidget toys that seem to be designed by the modeling geniuses.

So, I'm trying to print some older models from thingiverse and I have discovered that basically all the files I want to print have glaring flaws in them.

Internal free floating structures, connector pieces and holes that are the exact same size... So on and so forth...

Do I need to learn a software like CAD or Blender to fix these? I seem to be able to do some basic stuff in Orca Slicer but it honestly seems like as much of a pain to modify the parts there as it would be to use a real software.

Is there one that's easier? I think I messed around with SketchUp once upon a time.

I am worried this feels like opening a can of worms just so that I can make a thing that already exists in a dozen forms better.

TL;DR

They want people to be "cheap".

Hard to have value when there is plenty to go around and you can just take what you want for free.

It actually has historic precedent. Women have been using lack of sex and companionship with men for lots of issues they championed from suffrage to even early prohibition.

It's not just a counter culture of issues with dating but a protest. I think that makes it a bit different really.

Yeah, well... I like comics.

Kamala Harris was seen by many as simply continuity Joe Biden, a president who has long had a negative approval rating. When asked last month what she would have done differently from Biden, Harris answered: “There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of – and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”

There was no clear vision, no shared rage with the American people at the state of the country: if there was anything deeply wrong with the US, her campaign seemed to suggest, it was the existence of the Trumpist movement, and voting for Harris could finally turn the page on that.

The part that the Democrats missed again and again is that the issue with America is not just that people were and are willing to vote for Trump. It was never gonna be over just because he wasn't elected. Despite that being the message from large amounts of DNC leaders and commentators.

We can blame voters all we want but at millions of people that becomes a concept more than a specific person or group to blame. There are problems that need to be solved with more than status quo and centrism. And it doesn't start and end with Trump.

I hope we remember that as we see more of him than ever.

Truly a pretty terrible place for any kind of social activity.

People here are super self righteous and unwavering in their beliefs, quick to insult others and be generally bitchy, pedantic and quick to dogpile. Worst of all while still usually slightly wrong about a thing, but unwilling to hear it.

It's basically the worst parts of reddit users where we have boiled it down to the most affluent or socially insecure.

Even if it's as simple as a question people jump to defend their position with insults rather than answer it cause they get worried the person might be confused and it's best to just make sure it's a closed community as quick as possible.

This isn't an open community it's a private gated one where everyone jumped the fence and is scared that the wrong person might have come in with them.

Condescending is not welcoming.
Upvoting cause they are your in group isn't community.
Berating outcasts cause you at least don't feel like them is still bullying.

Yeah... This is half a packet of seeds and they are literally hopping from the fence to tree branches literally a couple feet away.

I swear it said it was a bush type too and this is more forest.

Well the branch holding my bell peppers fell off entirely from the weight.... So guess it's fajita night.

I honestly have so many Serranos and jalapenos but am the only one that loves spice so.... On the plant they stay for another days nachos.

And yes I know that is a leek but my onions aren't ready and it's a kitchen scrap garden. So using what I got.

Most conservative pundits out there seem to all talk about how they wanted to do something specific with their life but it didn't work out.
They like to blame the current systems and government for not doing enough to make them famous or popular or cool with the youth.

They then convince a bunch of people who are also unhappy but could have a lot of their issues with lack of time and resources fixed with money, that if they are unhappy while having money dumped in their lap than these normal people will be unhappy with it too. Hoping they fix some arbitrary reason they aren't more famous.

So, what's the general feeling on those plastic popup greenhouses?

After a particularly rough month with my plants I am considering getting a popup style plastic greenhouse for my plants.

I am kinda hoping that it would help to keep the moisture up and the shade up since a like half dozen of my peppers just got sunrot.

I have noticed my plants under my bug netting do better and my pepper plant in the ground under it doesn't have sunrot. I think it would also let me keep my pots longer in fall since in in zone 7 and cold snaps happen.

So.... Any thoughts? Tips? Etc?

I rent in an urban area and was given a backyard full of 6 foot tall weeds. Over the winter I managed to somewhat reduce their numbers and have been fighting them down since but also I didn't really have any money for gardening so I just went with direct inground with a bag of miracle grow for fertilizer and some cheap mulch for bedding.

Pretty much a scraps garden. I have green onions and regular onions, garlic cloves that sprouted, bell pepper and jalapenos, a potato plant, 2 basil and 3 Thai basil, a daikon scrap I'm letting flower I hopes of seeds I can plant next year, and all my beans and peas on the fence over there.

I also planted a blueberry bush that I realized I really should have kept in a pot cause I realized how long that thing is gonna grow for.

I also threw potatoes under the bush in the far back that is doing pretty good and a strawberry I won't ever be able to eat the fruit from because the critters get up earlier in the morning than me.
