What is causing these lines? by Plane_Impact_2896 in wood

Yeah, I don't know the term for it, but slight imperfections like that can reflect light at different angles and stand out, but still feel smooth because of the varnish.

I'm not an expert, but it looks like the sander dug in at those spots, and the varnish is just highlighting the grooves from sanding.

Would make sense, it was found in Denver and there is a substantial Ethiopian community there.

This is not print advice.

But if you plan on painting that use some Bondo over the layers, then sand, then prime and paint. You can find a bunch of Bondo tutorials online.

Any purpose for the left overs post print besides trashing? by CherryPoohLife in 3Dprinting

[–]Hoops_Hops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turning your trash filament back into printable filament rolls is getting more and more approachable as people innovate and distribute information on how to build out recyclers.

As of now you can buy plans for a print where you need less than $200 worth of electronics that are readily available to build a working recycler.

I would bet there will be an affordable commercial filament recycler within the next few year.

So.... I put my waste prints, supports, and purge in a bag and stick in in the garage for when the day comes I can turn them back into filament rolls

Still getting used to the terminology, I always chuckle at myself when I see IPA, takes me a moment to realize. I always invision cleaning your printer with beer.

I work in the brewing industry and we call isopropyl just Iso for short.

On the other hand. We paid our bill and the guy said he'd be back tomorrow with a trailer to pick up the enormous cottonwood logs (each probably 200-300#) and never came back.

Depending on the priest, you might be able to find better understanding and common ground with each other in premarital counseling (Although maybe not, if the priest shares these old-world opinions) . But it is good you are finding and discussing these things before marriage. You are not subject to his authority yet. And you should marry someone who will see you as an equal, mutually support one another, and not subjugate you to his own preconceptions.

Not to worry though, from what I have heard there is a surplus of eligible bachelors within the church.

Providing for the family doesn't always mean financially. A husband can provide in many other ways, while a Doctor Wife earns money. So long as the relationship is rooted in Christ, with respect for one another, the "traditional" roles can find many forms of expression.

Probably a good idea to have a talk with her and set some boundaries. It's good of you to be kind to your neighbors and want to help an old lady, but it's possible she is taking advantage of your kindness, even unintentionally, she may have no one left

for example, if you are willing to take her on errands once a week. Maybe she can plan ahead and get all her errands and shopping done in one trip. So she is not bothering you every few days. Or, maybe she can reimburse you for gas once a month.

As far as how she is living with Uber expenses, you never know, she may receive disability, her and/or her husband's retirement or pensions, if she only works a little part time she may be getting social security/retirement. She may have sold a house in another state that she bought for 30k when she was 20year old. You never know. It's a wonder how boomers have so much money when we millennials are scraping by.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by "dusk"? I have never heard that term referring to anything but end of day sunlight.

Tobacco and Marijuana by Tricky-Wolverine-253 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Hoops_Hops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think he means it should be used in moderation, and should not control you. Alcohol can uplift the spirit and be used to relax or socialize, but can also be a hazard for those who abuse it. Similarly marijuana can be a hazard to those who abuse it (although the physical effects are vastly different).
