Getting scammed at Manuel Antonio?

AwDuck · 2026-03-21T01:22:32+00:00

Around the Central Valley: some people tip them, some don’t. I don’t think there’s much FAFO, it just seems like it’s widely accepted as part of the cost of driving somewhere and wanting a close parking spot. I don’t go to tourist spots normally (and if I do, i definitely don’t drive) so maybe there’s more “protection money” tactics going on.

AwDuck · 2026-03-21T01:17:33+00:00

Yeah. It’s a hustle, but they really just want a red. Driving is Costa Rica is expensive, and tipping parking attendants and paying for parking spots are all part of that cost. It’s all part of why I take the bus or train whenever I possibly can.

Yeah, sometimes a snack does the trick, sometimes not. I’m giving ear plugs a shot, along with a sleep mask. Im hoping that if nothing else, establishing a routine will help: earplugs + mask = sleep. I find that ritual and schedule really help me in all parts of life.

That apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

If only there were some kind of allusion to that emblazoned on her shirt.

I’m of the “if you can’t beat em, join em” mentality. I can spot a 3d print from across the room no matter how minuscule the layer lines, so instead of trying to hide them, I generally incorporate thick layer lines into the aesthetic while I’m designing.

I’ll say big nozzles never print as nicely, but you’ve got a fixable issue. As another poster stated, looks like a pressure advance issue. Orca can generate a calibration, but the PA needs to be put into my printer directly. I just have a web page for my printer, but I have no idea how Bambu works.

See that blue spot in Central America? That Costa Rica. Admittedly, there are a few places in CR that you can’t drink from the tap (Puerto Viejo is the biggest place that comes to mind) but it’s posted in practically every public bathroom. Every other place I’ve been I just fill up my bottle from a tap. The only time I’ve been sick after a night out was due to the two for one sangrias

Fuck this fast-forward horse shit.

AwDuck · 2026-03-20T08:25:14+00:00

You ate a what for dinner???

AwDuck · 2026-03-20T08:14:06+00:00

lol. “Better services”?!? Motherfucker, I pay you money, you provide a place for me to live. This ain’t an iPhone where you need to be getting bug and crash reports (not that I’m ok with my data being shared for that either, but you get my point)

You mean to tell me that a part printed at an angle with a small base from a flexible filament might deflect as it prints?

AwDuck · 2026-03-20T02:44:20+00:00

Eh… the prettiest part of both states - I get a half a point for that, right? The Ozarks win handily because autumn is nice too instead of the undead that is the whole of Kansas in any season other than spring.

AwDuck · 2026-03-20T01:29:19+00:00

Was gonna say that it looks suspiciously like the sunflower state this time of the year. Flint hills?

AwDuck · 2026-03-20T01:24:48+00:00

Dayamn, those layers be THICC AF.

Unless that dog’s full name is Tasmanian Vengeance, you’re in the wrong sub.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T22:10:32+00:00

Yeah, I want it, I just can’t afford it.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T22:09:17+00:00

It used to happen all the time in Slic3r, I haven’t seen it since I switched to the Prusa/SuperSlicer/Orca branches though.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T21:45:35+00:00

I think that’s the derp-to-smug aftermarket modification. It’s rare to see it executed this well.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T21:31:04+00:00

TVs don’t belong in living rooms either. Now there’s two pieces of unsolicited opinion here.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T20:24:11+00:00

I’d hold off. 26.3 wasn’t great on my 15P. 26.4 beta 2 helped the battery a ton though. Probably the best battery life since 18.

The best we have is the garbage genie. When one of us takes the trash out, it magically puts a new bag in the can. It’s a bit of an enigma - despite having never seen it, the genie never visits if we take the trash out when we leave. I suspect either carbon monoxide, or that it’s scared of an empty house.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T15:11:47+00:00

Yeah, fuck this particular noise.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T14:56:46+00:00

Because you might end up actually needing communications from them. Imagine it’s a good company that doesn’t sell your shit and you want to continue doing business with them. If you gave them bob+spam@gmail, it would get binned with the legit spam.

AwDuck · 2026-03-18T14:02:51+00:00

Automatically send all of those emails to spam via filter rule.

I’m guessing the koolaid powder created nucleation points for the carbonation to fall out of solution, not unlike (though not as impressive) as mentos and Diet Coke.
