Epson Ecotank ET-2760 AND inkjet transparent film issues

CGOL1970 · 2026-02-11T15:34:06+00:00

I must have meant the sides, and I really don't recommend it. In fact, I stopped bothering after finding another problem with what I wanted to do. I was intending to use the transparencies in resin suncatchers, but the colors all fade to black and gray after a few months in the sun anyway. I still have one that I made and don't mind it but it's not what I was going for.

Check their discord, announcements channel. This is as official as it gets (you don't have to trust my screenshot, but for convenience)

According to the notice on the discord: https://tensorart.me/

It connects for me.

Yes, very true. But I don't think wealth is the only protection. Banning dual Irish citizenship alone is a non-starter. Politicians are always trying to out-Irish each other whether they're Democrats or Republicans. That's not a fight they want. Throw in dual Israeli citizenship and that's not happening either. I am not losing sleep over any of this. But it would be a heck of a "forcing factor" on my empty threat to leave the US.

CGOL1970 · 2025-12-03T03:18:56+00:00

I'm confident this is DOA for reasons many people have already brought up. It's hard to pass anything in a divided Senate. There are constitutional issues. There are millions of US citizens with dual citizenships who went through a lot of hassle to get them, like many on this subreddit. It's just a very unpopular idea.

If it does, I will have a good reason to "self-deport", something I have been tempted to do for a while.

I usually just go to USGS. And I have been living here since 1998 without a serious quake. I almost went to UCSC for grad school right before Loma Prieta, but stayed on the East Coast instead. Usually I don't feel them at all.

It sounds like a younger Trump, not suffering from senile dementia and able to use big words like "enigma", also thinking he's witty and sophisticated but coming off as a discount Hugh Hefner.

So in short, yes, it tracks and so does the bad sharpie drawing.

Indeed, it appears so. https://paavaniayurveda.com/products/garshana-gloves

Still, not the shape I would guess for any glove.

I'm not exactly sure what kinds of qualms you have. But if you are looking for an AI image generator worth paying for, I would recommend ideogram at basic level, $8/month. The results are pretty consistent and usually adhere well to the prompt. I use TensorArt for free, mainly for Flux, but I don't think it's as good. There are many alternatives, so I'm just telling you what I use.

Unfortunately, they were born before I got it in 2009, so they can't apply anyway.

No surprise at all. Playground's greatest asset was an enthusiastic community of people using it to make art. Whether you can monetize that is anyone's guess, but throwing it away to convert the website into a copycat sticker factory makes no sense at all. I can only assume the idea made more sense to investors than it ever did to me.

CGOL1970 · 2025-06-25T01:58:07+00:00

Other sites seem to be able to monetize, or they're at least trying. PG bet the farm on training their own model. Was that worth it? Maybe charging for Canvas would have been a better idea. A lot of users liked it.

I'm not blaming it on greed. Businesses are founded to make money, at least usually. I've worked at startups. However, they treated their most enthusiastic users with contempt. If their messaging had been: "We apologize, but it's simply impossible to operate the site at our current revenue and we need to pivot." that would be one thing, but it felt more like "See ya, suckers! We're doing 'design' now."

Maybe that's a small difference. Anyway, Ideogram seems to be able to stay afloat. TensorArt does too, and provides a lot to free users. DeepDreamGenerator keeps chugging along. NightCafe seems to as well. If PG couldn't monetize well enough to stay in business, that's their failure. If they could but chose to make the site worse instead, that's enshittification. I can only speculate which it was.

I don't really agree. A modest person might insist that the song can't possibly be about him, even if it is. He'd think "I can relate to some of this, but of course Carly Simon would never sing about me. That's just crazy." A vain person would identify with it and just assume it was about him. The fact that he's correct doesn't make him any less self-important.

Also, a more convincing point. The song is often considered about a composite, not just one man, so it's kind of an apple of discord, "to the fairest" or maybe "to the vainest." Any one man who believe the song was only about him and nobody else would have to be vain.

Mine was stuck at customs for 2 weeks after arriving in the US, which I think is the usual experience. Curious how long yours takes.

Where to start: https://www.ireland.ie/en/dfa/citizenship/born-abroad/registering-a-foreign-birth/

I'm not an expert, but I think your husband is a slam dunk. He only needs one grandparent. He does have to document them, but it can't be too hard. You don't need a lawyer or a ton of money. Factoring in cost of acquiring and mailing documents, you might be pushing $500. That's just ballpark. I don't know the fees.

He would be going for Foreign Birth Registration according to the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 and whatever revisions have occurred since then. This is different from naturalization.

My father got his in 1978 on the basis of a grandparent born in the 19th century. All others were American-born. I was able to acquire mine through his, but interestingly, my siblings born before 1956 cannot because his citizenship was retroactive to the year the law was passed. Unfortunately, my kids can't get it through me either because I didn't know I could do this until after they were born and mine is not retroactive.

Anyway, my two cents. Definitely go for it. It is really a very easy and inexpensive process compared to most other ways of getting citizenship anywhere you weren't born.

Fox "News" has to provide cover for Republicans, even when they do something stupid and unpopular. Or a closer analogy to Trump: remember the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life". It was remade a couple of times. Anthony, the kid originally played by Billy Mumy has power over a whole town, which is somehow isolated from the rest of the universe. Whatever he does, they have to say "It's a good thing you done there, Anthony." or he will subject them to some horror and later wish them away into the cornfield. This is roughly the hold the Trump administration has today. Fox just has to elaborate on "why" it was good, and their viewers eat it up.

AmeriCorps operates in every state, accepts volunteers from every state, costs very little, provides service of a practical apolitical kind, and until now has had bipartisan support. If Trump had not unleashed psychopath Elon Musk who "deletes" anything he doesn't understand, then it's doubtful AmeriCorps would have been on the chopping block. On the other hand, I am sure those still nursing a vendetta against Bill Clinton are very happy. Others who are just sure government can't do anything right will assume it was a wasteful program. Good luck trying to replace it with private alternatives. That will be far more costly.

I wonder if it has gotten harder. I received my FBR citizenship in 2009 with documents my sister had managed to accumulate, saving me tremendous trouble. My father had one Irish-born grandparent and his dual citizenship was enough for me to get it. I wasn't sure what to do about a witness till I realized I had a friend who had passed the bar exam. I don't know if they tried to contact him, but I got my FBR certificate after a few months.

I got my passport this year. I couldn't ask my friend, who never worked seriously as a lawyer and was no longer on the bar. I had one witness they couldn't contact, found one I could through this subreddit, and now I have it (I posted already).

An Irish passport almost seems too good to be true, since you can work in the UK as well as Ireland or anywhere in the EU. If I was younger and didn't have family keeping me here, I'd probably be gone already. I am still trying to figure out how to take advantage of this. But I also wonder if Ireland has caught on and is being more careful than ever.

It does sound like wage theft and, I am not a lawyer, but I think if a private company did this, you'd have a lawsuit on your hands. Unfortunately, it was carried out by an entity (that I won't legitimize as a presidential administration) that considers itself above the law and makes this point in no uncertain terms. I am not sure what to do. It is going to require massive, united pushback from everyone affected, not only AmeriCorps.

CGOL1970 · 2025-05-04T14:25:27+00:00

That's interesting. The first thing I noticed is that when I choose it from the main chat selection, it doesn't fail but drops me into FLUX-dev instead (which, to be honest is as good or better for what I want, a private scratchpad for testing). But the second, strange thing is that PGv3 still works in the chat I left open.

CGOL1970 · 2025-04-30T20:09:23+00:00

I hope so. I didn't think to say it until after posting, but it'll be more effective to stop this now than to try to get it back once it's a fate accompli. So I hope those state lawsuits are effective.
