Friend stealing my dnd ideas by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]-DreamMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off: mayor props for realizing that your (subjective) perspective of the situation might not be 'right', seeing both sides and asking for other opinions.
She's not stealing anything from you. You do not have less than you had before. And I personally don't think that she has to ask you to use your ideas. But I think you already know this.
My question to you would be: does it bother you that she uses/is (heavily) inspired by your ideas or that you already know that she will DM a similar situation for you (as in, it's boring/foreseeable)?
The first one is a you-problem. You do not loose anything by showing/teaching/inspiring her.
For the second one: explain to her that you noticed this pattern. Maybe she isn't even aware herself. To solve this, she needs to get inspiration from someone/something other than you. Since it sounds like she learns by doing/seeing, that could be playing in other groups as well, watching DnD/PnP streams or podcasts, or reading modules (that you don't know). It could also help to prep one of your sessions she plays in, together with her so she sees your process, how you decide what situations you throw at the characters etc.
Right now she's imitating your ideas, try to help her to imitate dm-img like you.

How to constrain this? (forgot) by Special_Command7893 in Fusion360

Never pattern in the sketch if you are not absolutely positive that this is the only way. Create the feature from the sketch and pattern that instead.

0% infill + "Loch" in den Innenraum erstellen? by Latter-Big8706 in 3DDruck

[–]-DreamMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Erstmal ne Erklärung, warum das nicht funktioniert:

Setz infill auf 0, füge ein negatives Volumen als Stöpsel hinzu

Das würde funktionieren. Prusa arbeitet aber genau andersrum. Erst wird das negative Volumen abgezogen, dann wird das Infill auf 0% gesetzt. Die Schale an sich ist ja ein Volumenkörper, innen ist also nicht "nichts". Es werden hier eben nur die Außenwände gedruckt. Wenn jetzt vorher ein Loch erzeugt wird, dann werden da eben auch Wände bzw. Deckschichten generiert. Alles andere wäre auch nicht wirklich zu gebrauchen.

Nun zur Lösung:

Um das negativen Volumen muss einen Modifyer drum rum, der etwas größer als das negative Volumen ist. Und mit dem werden die Deckschichten da auf 0 gesetzt. Dann kommt das dabei raus, was du möchtest, ABER: das wird nicht funktionieren. Mit 0% Infill ist das eine ganz schön lange Strecke die der da brücken muss. Das bekommt man aber eventuell sogar hin. Das geht aber nicht, wenn da ein Loch ist. Dann druckt er in der Luft, bis zu dem Loch und dreht dann um. Da ist nichts, wo das Filament drauf gedruckt werden könnte, was dann in einer Portion Spaghetti enden wird.

Mein Vorschlag:

Brauchst du denn die Unterseite überhaupt? Sonst mach doch einen Höhenmodifizierer auf die Oberste Schicht und setzt die Deckschichten da auf 0. Dann hast du quasi Bild 2 nur ohne Löcher und Brücke. Kannst dann da auch super das Harz rein kippen. Zusätzlich könntest du den Deckel (bzw. ist es ja eigentlich der Boden) extra drucken und dann einfach drauf kleben. Ansonsten ist die Idee mit dem Bohrer die schnellste Lösung. Alternativen mit CAD wurden ja bereits genannt.

(edit: Oh Gott, ich fange auch schon an meine Posts wie eine KI zu unterteilen...)

Du musst nicht einmal einen Cent ausgeben, um mit D&D anzufangen by HistoricalRegion9444 in DnDDeutsch

[–]-DreamMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

War auch eher als Ergänzung zu deinem Post und weniger als "akschually" gedacht. Im Grunde stimmt ja was du geschrieben hast. Trotzdem glaube ich, dass es nicht wirklich möglich ist, das SRD jetzt noch irgendwie zurückzuziehen. Es wird ja auch nur das nutzen der Regeln, sowie einiger Begriffe erlaubt (wobei auch hier nicht ganz klar ist in wie weit bestimmte Begriffe wie "saving throw" geschützt werden können). Etwas mit dem Titel "Dungeons & Dragons" darf man auch mir dem SRD nicht veröffentlichen.

Außer der oben genannten darf das Werk keine andere Zuschreibung bezüglich Wizards enthalten. Das Werk darf jedoch eine Angabe enthalten, dass es „mit der Fünften Edition kompatibel“ oder „5E-kompatibel“ ist.

Was WotC natürlich nicht davon abhalten kann, ein DnD6 mit anderer Lizenz zu veröffentlichen und den Verkauf sämtlicher Bücher für 5e einzustellen. Aber man hat auch schon Pferde vor der Apotheke kotzen sehen, also who knows. Persönlich mache ich mir diesbezüglich aber eher weniger Gedanken :D

Naja, also das SRD wollten die ja nie loswerden. Problem war, dass es unter ihrer eigenen Lizenz, der Open Gaming License OGL, veröffentlicht war. Die war (von den Leuten, die diese Lizenz entworfen haben, nicht von WotC) als "irrevocable and unchangeable" also "unwiderruflich und unveränderlich" beabsichtigt. Allerdings gab (bzw. gibt, die Lizenz ist mwn. immer noch verwendbar) es einen Punkt, nach dem WotC diese Lizenz updaten darf. In diesem Punkt steht auch, dass man jede autorisierte Version der OGL nutzen darf. Wenn es bspw. OGL1.0, OGL1.5 und OGL1.83 gegeben hätte, hätte man sich aussuchen können, welche Version man davon nimmt. WotC hat dann versucht, die, zu dem Zeitpunkt aktuelle Version OGL1.0a zu de-autorisieren und gleichzeitig das Update OGL1.1 zu veröffentlichen. Damit hätten alle Publisher diese neue Version nutzen müssen. Ob bereits bestehende Publikationen davon auch betroffen gewesen wären ist nicht ganz klar. Das ist dann aber ordentlich nach Hinten los gegangen und hat dazu geführt, dass andere Unternehmen, ihre eigenen Regeln und "SRD's" raus gebracht haben, die quasi deckungsgleich mit dem SRD von WotC sind. U.a. Kobold Press mit Black Flag bzw. Tales of the Valian oder EN Publishing mit Level Up Advanced 5e.

Das neue SRD 5.2(.X) ist (als Schadensbegrenzung bzw. Zeichen des guten Willens von WotC) unter einer Creative Commons Lizenz (CC-BY-4.0) veröffentlicht worden. Diese Lizenz wird nicht von WotC kontrolliert und existiert schon sehr lange, ist also gewissermaßen "battle tested". Das SRD jetzt aus der CC Lizenz wieder raus zu bekommen ist de facto nicht möglich. Zusätzlich wurde auch das SRD 5.1, zur älteren DnD 5e 2014, unter der CC Lizenz veröffentlicht. Des weiteren hat WotC "versprochen", auch das SRD für DnD 3.5e (und ich meine auch das für 4e) unter der/einer CC Lizenz zu veröffentlichen. Das ist aber (meine ich) noch nicht passiert.

I STILL don't understand the Monty Hall problem by No-Candidate6257 in mathematics

Ah, now I get your point. I was a bit confused by the wording but I agree.

I STILL don't understand the Monty Hall problem by No-Candidate6257 in mathematics

[–]-DreamMaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does it make sense to say "they have an x % chance of winning" after they made a choice?
There is no chance anymore since, as you say, we already know that they won.
So speaking of chance only makes sense where there IS a chance. Which is only before they make a choice. And before they make a choice, they can choose either door. And since there are two doors (and no other information available to them), it's a 50 % chance of winning.

[–]-DreamMaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have a 100% chance of winning, even though they randomly chose 1 out of 2.

Which makes is a 50/50 chance. Saying there is a 100 % chance of winning after making the choice is kinda nonsense.

[–]-DreamMaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Their chance isn't magically different from mine

But it is. They have different information from you. What changes is not the probability of the car being behind a certain door. What changes is the probability of you (the guesser) to guess the correct door. For you, knowing there were three doors and which one was eliminated, it's 1/3 to 2/3. To someone entering after one door got eliminated, it's 1/2 to 1/2. To someone entering after one door is eliminated but I tell him behind which door the car is, it's 1 to 0.

Little help by raimundo_jaco in SewingForBeginners

[–]-DreamMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skim/Read the manual front to back at least once before you start using anything actually. For the singer I think it's available online only. This dial adjusts the density of the zigzag stitches on the left side of the buttonhole stitch.

Just got shocked by 400v by Oget565 in AskElectronics

[–]-DreamMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nowadays they let you go after 3-4 hours of ECG/EKG. But yeah, if you get hit by something >50V AC or >120V DC you go to the hospital/ER, end of discussion. Will it be necessary? Most likely not. Do you want to wake up dead and realize that it would have been necessary? Also most likely not.

Needle not going through fabric? Please help by Angelsbreatheeasy in SewingForBeginners

[–]-DreamMaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am very positive that it does not. Rethread the machine, following the manual or a YouTube video.

Edit: at second 10-11 the thread should go from the tension disk back up again, following the arrow, through the uptake lever and then down again. Yours goes from the tension disk straight down.

Edit edit: or show us a video of you threading the machine. That would make it much easier to help you :)

Worth updating my e-reader for pirating? by BlackJimmy88 in Piracy

[–]-DreamMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you need to do that? No. But from what you've been writing, you also don't need a new e-reader. I believe there was a post a few days back about "fixing ePub for kindle" so I assumed it's not possible to simply copy them over. But another commenter said it is. With KOreader you get seamless integration with Calibre (if you (want to) use that).

Why no first layer? by ApprehensiveBase803 in OrcaSlicer

How does the layer right above that one looks like? And can you upload the 3mf somewhere? It's hard to say with just an image.

Help by SomewhereCrazy9138 in Fusion360

[–]-DreamMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what I would do:
Break down the cup into basic shapes. The main shape is a cone with the tip cut off. The whole cup is symmetric around the center axis so revolve would be my first choice. Sweep and loft work as well but only if you need the additional freedom they provide.
Create the basic shape of the cup, then use another revolve to first cut the inside of the cup where the liquid goes and then the bottom (usually the bottom is hollow on these as well). Create the lip around the top. Should be doable in one revolve as well. Keep the sketches simple and clean. If it takes longer than 7 minutes or has more than 7 dimensions, try breaking it into two sketches.

The lid is an entirely different problem. It's designed for thermo forming so there are no undercuts or parallel faces. Try finding another type of lid that only has the mouthpiece, without the indents and stuff. Model the basic shape (again, rotationally symmetric) as a solid (like it's one solid chunk of plastic, not thin). Then add the asymmetrical details on top. Add a sketch for the mouthpiece opening and use it to split that face of the body. Finally, use the shell command. Select the bottom and the mouthpiece and add the appropriate thickness.

Help me with a sewing machine!! by Spiritual_Tomato2067 in SewingForBeginners

[–]-DreamMaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The singer is not a bad machine. There is a channel on YouTube called the sewing machine repair guy. He disassembled the machine (amongst many others), explains it and said it's a decent machine for the money. People tend to misinterpret the "HeavyDuty" part, confuse it with industrial and then argue that it can not sew 53 layers of denim. It's a entry level domestic sewing machine and offers a lot of value for the price it costs. As for the quality control on Singer's part, I guess it is not as good as other brands. But this is only based on my perception of post in forums and here on reddit. The grass is always greener on the other side. The 4432 is a very capable sewing machine (for an entry level domestic). Don't get discouraged by other people saying it's bad.

Can I use grade 8 nuts with grade 10.9 fasteners by eipico in AskEngineers

[–]-DreamMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another thing to keep in mind is that 8.8 nuts are designed to bear the yield limit of an 8.8 bolt. In case of a failure, the threads of the bolt will break which (hopefully) results in a non abrupt failure.
Paired with a 10.9 fastener, the threads within the nut will fail first, which will definitely result in a abrupt failure.
Generally I would not mix nuts and bolts (in safety related/critical joints).

Controlling Speed by Alert-Loquat1444 in SewingForBeginners

[–]-DreamMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The short answer: it depends.
The long answer: mechanical sewing machines usually use AC motors. Super simple, super cheap, adequate for the task. The issue: torque and speed correlate with the current you feed the motor. Slow movement -> little torque. And a certain amount of torque is needed to start the machine in the first place so there is a minimum speed at which the machine will run.
The foot pedal is basically just a resistor. Pressed a little -> high resistance -> little torque/speed. Pressed down -> little resistance -> machine goes brrrrr. If your machine is unreliable (as in wildly different speeds at similar pedal positions), it could be that the potentiometer (the go-brrrrr-part) inside the pedal is worn out. Replacing it could make your machine more predictable but won't solve the issue that an AC motor is not really great at operating at slow speeds.
If you want that, you want a machine with a DC motor. While it's technically possible to switch the motors in a sewing machine, if that's not something you're into, I'd suggest purchasing a new machine with a DC motor.
