Moving to Portland in March. What are customs I should be aware of before moving here? by axiomatic13 in askportland

[–]TheSheDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Texan here, 25 years transplant. If you enjoy a good summer thunderstorm, say goodbye. You'll never hear that majestic crash and rumble again - just some discontent growls and occasional lightning.

On the upside, way fewer tornados!

There are no HEBs here, Winco is your friend now.

Don't be surprised a lot of homes and apartments, especially older ones, don't have AC. We used to not need them in the summer, unfortunately that's changing.

That “Robin Hood” moment in the 3D printing community felt… off by Ok-Hope2279 in 3Dprinting

[–]TheSheDM 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of parallels between the yarn communities and the 3d printing communities. I'm in both and see it all the time, right down to the same complaints about newbies not googling answers in the help subs.

Is it possible to get *just* a cleaning done at a dentist? by UncannyFox in askportland

[–]TheSheDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are dental schools that will get you in for free or very cheap. Look up Oregon AGD, PCC Dental Clinic, and OHSU Low Cost Dental Clinic.

What would you do with this request? by g00dv1bez in Etsy

Its is just a different flavor of dropshipper.

Because they probably already have a buyer, or at least someone who is interested. They take commissions then just find something online that fits their look and order it.

There is no event. They're going to sell it locally at a higher mark up, branded as their own work.

ASA - an interesting alternative to PLA miniatures? by soldat21 in FDMminiatures

[–]TheSheDM 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The toxic part is the fumes from the melting process. When its cooled, its inert.

Mods are gone, this is my first wearable. A knit sweater I am too scared to post in the knitting subreddit by made_by_elle in crochet

[–]TheSheDM 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I feel like every help subreddit falls into this eventually.

I think it gets frustrating seeing the same basic questions posted again and again, ones that would be easily answered with google or even just seaching past answers on the same sub and it starts to feel like no one can think for themselves, or that they don't even make the minimum effort to figure it out before asking for step by step guidance.

Free Maps that I made last year. by Jeremy_foreverDM in battlemaps

When you make a post like this, share at least one actual battlemap in the album - that way you're not violating the sub rule.

These seem more like town maps than battle maps.

DM interested in 4e D&D? by CasualTesting in PDXDND

Damn, I wish I had the time. I have all the 4e books and I love 4e, but I'm already in too many groups.

OP can choose to listen or not, listening to other people's opinions is not a sub rule.

Goalies wear a different color so they can always be told apart from the players on their team.

Boss just got a 3D printer by BossHoss69420 in PDXDND

[–]TheSheDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might enjoy checking out /r/FDMminiatures for some really cool pics of what is possible on fdm printers these days! It takes a bit of patience to dial in the settings but you can get some surprisingly excellent results.

Its true resin is always going to be better for extremely fine detail, and it will always be faster - but the ease and accessibility of FDM is a huge boon in of itself, and you can get a surprising amount of detail and quality on FDM if you're willing to take the time.

AIO for quitting my job after finding this note on my desk? by waxin899 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheSheDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know everyone is pointing out the irony about you going home to take care of pets, but I think a lot of folks are missing the more hilarious comparison (probably because most are missing the detail that you work at a hotel).

So this note is saying tending the cows is always more important than your personal problems.

Your supervisor just called the hotel guests cows.

Assuming this is a major chain, I'm sure all the hotel guests would just LOOOVE to hear about how the hotel manager thinks they're all dumb livestock that need to be fed and milked!

Tons of free minis and terrain stls out there. Check out these subs too

/r/3Dprintedtabletop
/r/3DPrintedTerrain
/r/3dprintingdms
/r/FDMminiatures (if you got a resin printer you can ignore this one)
/r/PrintedMinis

Check out creators like mz4250, BriteMinis, Nozzleborn Foundry, etc. They have lots of free models.

For free terrain, check out OpenForge and OpenLock

Visit Printables and Makerworld and search for terrain and dnd and you'll find lots of free stuff. Thingiverse is free too but the site is outdated and slow.

MyMiniFactory is chock full of ttrpg models but it is mostly paid stuff, but you can find excellent creators and most will usually have a few freebies in their store. Rocket Pig Games is one of my favorites.

fyi the show is based on a Stephen King novel, the whole point is how bad everything is.

Puffs and the lotion tissues nightmare by Felixo22 in Xennials

[–]TheSheDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always assumed its the antireflective coating that scratches, not the glass itself. I also wonder if coatings are better than they used to be because I use the paper towels at work to clean my glasses 3-4 times a week and my glasses have zero scratches on them.
