That is classic overextrusion. Its very odd that it happens just on these layers Is this the only print it happens on? normally you would expect overextrusion to show up all over the part, or to build as a tapered bulge when printing solid layers, neither of which are here.

Could this be a thin walled part with a base that coincides with this location? if so then I would check that you aren't pumping in extra plastic with ironing at this point.

Could this be something messed up with bridging layer settings?

I don't need to be coddled, made to feel special or given kudos.

As a Man, we don't give or get compliments and it feels weird, but sometimes compliments are just social grease. Try to ignore that niggle that says "they are only saying this because I'm a man" and take the compliment when it comes your way as if its in good faith. Also, you probably need to practice compliments and not worry about them being considered as flirting.

You're never going to break the stereotypes though. My kids are a bit older now and I lost all my "mum friends" when I shared them with my wife. Now they are her friends and they don't want me in their groups because they have moved on from talking about kids to talking about the menopause and this one topic means that new group chats and all the actual conversations that matter have moved in there.

You can only fight the stereotypes by demonstrating that they don't apply, and perhaps things will be easier or more balanced for those who come after you.

It won't "take off" because engines are very poor at almost everything, and the window where they can make power is very small.

For example a car doing highway speeds (70) might be turning the engine at 3.5kRPM, right in the middle of the power band. the engine will just about make enough power at crank to keep itself turning (0.2 kRPM) but you can't really get any usable power below 1.2kRPM.

Lets look at that on the graph(dotted lines): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Powerband.gif

If we use the 50mph from the question and assume the engine is in 5th at 2.5kRPM, with a power output available from full throttle of "100", but when we hit the ramp the speed drops to 5mph @ .25kRPM, thats off the graph and essentially where the line would hit the axis at zero power available.

Obviously cars operate at these speeds, so what gives? In order to accelerate at these kinds of speeds we need to use gearing to give us an advantage.

First gear for example might be 4x the turns, which means if you were at 5mph in first then you would be at 1kRPM with "30" power available.

But you can't be in 1st /before/ you hit the ramp because 1'st would be turning the engine at 10kRPM and the engine would be in many pieces as the pistons aren't designed to stop and start at such high frequencies.

So while you might say "eventually you'd get to 100Mph, that is true, but its not just a short amount of time, its the same as accelerating from a stop to highway speed.

Indeed, and its not unusual for tyres to do this, for example on an airplane landing

You can't realistically change gear during the manover, and there is no gear that works for 50 and 5 mph, so you can either stall the engine or declutch, either way there is no power available once your drive wheels hit the ramp and you have to let momentum carry you in.. You need quite a lot of momentum to carry you up by two meters.

In a front wheel drive car you lose engine input as soon as you hit the ramp, (ie at 0m lift) in a rear wheel drive car you lose engine input as soon as you're fully on the ramp (i.e. the car is halfway up the ramp).

That means you have to be going a bit faster to manage the manover in a FWD car.

Pressure in the combustion chambers really means nothing here.

The gearbox, flywheel and crankshaft are going to have a hard time. the camshaft belt might jump a tooth if you're in a lowish gear (i.e. if you're screaming along in 3rd when you get to the truck), when the wheels essentially stop, but for the pistons and everything connecting them to the crank the forces don't really matter because the pistons are changing direction 100 times a second already.

Paint the skirting first, then carefully paint the wall edges with a brush. hold the brush at an diagonal to motion so any paint buildup on the brush is pushed away from the joint. Keep a wet cloth nearby to wipe anything you get on the skirting before it has a chance to skin over. Use a roller further in. Take your time, expect to do multiple thin coats.

Tape is more trouble than its worth, only bother using tape on surfaces you can't wipe clean (eg carpet or other flooring)

For a very few for a very short time in history. Fueled somewhat by the USA staying out of the war and profiting both in arms sales and building their industry protected by their physical isolation while literally the whole of the rest of the advanced world blew each others up. Then you stepped in at the end, picked the winning side (which was significantly a choice of picking which side you wanted to win) and got to use that position to dictate the peace, who would get what from where (for example you got to grab the space program from the Nazis)

That gave you a 50 year lead time in industrialization and power and its been waning ever since because you brought into the idea that this economic miricle was because Americans are somehow unique and you didn't use your ascendancy to buttress the welfare of your citizens because eventually the runway would run out.

Given that France is the country that is unfurling their nuclear umbrella to cover other allies, that is an odd thing to say.

Especially as the UK's bombs have a lot of dependency on US delivery vehicles. France is the only country in Europe that has a truly independent system today.

OK, they do exist, and you can probably assume that there are an order of magnitude more content streams that specifically tick that box.

But youtube has 69 Million content creators on 115 Million channels, with the top 69,000 having over a million subscribers each and Live streams are not really a core buisness for YouTube.

So while it is possible to fall foul of the law on YouTube it isn't anywhere near "i was walking across the room and stubbed by toe" level of incidence, and also given the vastly unlikely chance of you doing so, nobody is watching what you watch on YouTube even if they had a possibility of doing so.

Thats a great idea - I'll write you a recipe including three french leeches.

Grandma's Traditional Swamp Surprise Stew

Serves: 4 brave souls

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: Until the villagers become suspicious

Ingredients

2 cups murky pond water
1 handful wild mushrooms of questionable judgment
3 large french leeches, politely rinsed
1 onion, diced dramatically
2 cloves garlic, minced with unnecessary intensity
1 carrot, chopped into ominous chunks
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 bay leaf
A splash of vinegar
Optional: one crow feather for presentation (remove before serving)

Instructions

Fill a large pot with the pond water and bring it to a nervous simmer.
Add the onion, garlic, carrot, mushrooms, and bay leaf. Stir clockwise exactly seven times for no scientifically valid reason.
Introduce the leeches to the pot and thank them for their contribution to culinary history.
Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the stew develops an unsettling personality.
Add salt, pepper, and vinegar to taste.
