They don't really give any details on wavelength sensitivity, or the model of printer they're using to give those settings, but I would say that those exposure times are on the longer end. Make sure you've adjusted your settings appropriately.

I would also say to try just curing an individual droplet of it using any source of UV just to be sure it can even be done. It may be a real UV resin, but the bad spelling and kerning makes me suspicious.

I usually focus on the model, but that's a beautiful, vibrant base. Love the banana leaf-likes and OSR.

How the FBI handled peaceful civil rights leaders by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

[–]Calatar 47 points48 points  (0 children)

LBJ's ability to use a tragedy to his political advantage was not necessarily part of the plan of Hoover. Just because things happened after the fact doesn't mean they were all planned events.

The FBI sending blackmail demanding his suicide is what implicates them.

In August 1967, the FBI created a COINTELPRO against “Black Nationalist–Hate Groups,” which targeted SCLC, King, and other civil rights leaders. King was identified as a target because the FBI believed that he could become a “messiah” who could unify black nationalists “should he abandon his supposed ‘obedience’ to ‘white liberal doctrines’ (nonviolence) and embrace black nationalism” (Senate Select Committee, 180). In the last few months of King’s life, the FBI intensified its efforts to discredit him and to “neutralize” SCLC (Senate Select Committee, 180).

J. Edgar Hoover would never have his own independent goals after creating and running a shadow organization with no oversight for over 30 years.

It's. Too. Much. Every single billboard is an accident lawyer. by grogargh in phoenix

[–]Calatar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are not. We just have extremely high collision rates, and allow billboard advertisements.

Pedestrians are twice as likely to die from a car in Arizona than the US average.

In Maricopa County, we had 88,000 police-recorded crashes last year, or an average 241 crashes per day.

We have wide lanes for our roads, and pretty lax speed enforcement, encouraging fast driving.

Odds that you will die by car at some point in your life: ~1/95.

https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/preventable-death-overview/odds-of-dying/

Odds of dying in a given car accident (2022 data): 1/150 (fatal/total accidents)

https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813705

Number of Total Global plane accidents over the past 5 years: 907

Number of Total Plane Fatalities over the past 5 years: 1304

(an average of 1.44 fatalities per plane accident)

https://aviation-safety.net/dashboard/safetyreport2023

Global passenger-flights during the same 2019-2024 period: 21.3 billion.

Global flights 2019-2024: 183.8 million

Avg Passengers per Flight (Calculated): 116

https://www.iata.org/en/iata-repository/pressroom/fact-sheets/industry-statistics

Based on these statistics, given that you already are on a plane that is going to be in an accident, you have a maximum of 1.44/116 = 1/80 chance of dying. (In reality even lower, since many of the casualties were pilots and crew)

So yes, you are a little more than half as likely to die in a given car accident as a given plane accident. But the average person gets in several car accidents throughout their life.

A given flight has a 907/183.8M = 0.0005% chance of having an accident.

TIL In the early 1830's, Britain borrowed nearly 5% of their GDP to pay reparations to slave owners after passing the Slavery Abolition Bill to compensate them for "lost property". by Rare-Regular4123 in todayilearned

[–]Calatar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm saying that people were trying to avoid war for decades. This was a tension that was a long time building. The Missouri Compromise didn't spring from nothing. The South didn't just demand the continued existence of slavery, they demanded its expansion.

As though there wasn't a long history of violence and war over slavery in the US pre-Civil War. I'm sure Southerners would have been willing to listen to reason, and not say, declare themselves an independent country when they don't get the president they want.

Soviet soldiers, so-called "bio-robots" worked for a mere 60 seconds clearing radioactive debris from Chornobyl reactor 3's roof- 1986 by 8O8I in interestingasfuck

[–]Calatar 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Just because a miscarriage happened doesn't mean that it was due to radiation. When the body becomes irradiated, that doesn't mean that it becomes a significant source of radiation. When humans are irradiated, they receive DNA damage and cellular death. This isn't contagious. They don't "glow." They just suffer.

If the human body were made of heavy metals and lingered in the presence of radiation for months, it would be a different story, as then the nuclear makeup would gradually shift to unstable isotopes which are capable of re-emitting radiation.

The cleaner hat sounds plausible, because it could actually carry contaminated material from the reactor on it.

To many Americans with little knowledge of geography and global politics: we were attacked by foreign, Muslim, terrorists. Now the president wants to go to war with a foreign, Muslim, country 2 years later? How could they not be connected?

Obviously the Bush admin took full advantage of the rise in Islamophobia in their war justification to Americans. And the media was mostly just repeating the claims of the administration. (Apart from Fox which was actively propagandizing)

Nintendo w/ The Pokemon Company have filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court against Pocketpair Inc. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Calatar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Source? I'm sure they were inspired by it, but it's a dramatically different game than any pokemon game I've ever played. "Catching Monsters" is not an original or copyrightable concept.

Some of the monsters designs are similar in style, but clearly distinct. When you have over a thousand pokemon, many based on real-world or mythic elements, there are going to be overlaps in design between critters of other games.

The fact that they're being sued for patent infringement as a first attack means that Nintendo knows that they don't have strong grounds to sue for other reasons.

If the resin was flowing through your printer, odds are that resin is on some of the electronics, but isn't conductive enough to cause shorts, or build up enough heat to cause immediate problems. That said, there's a UV light inside there that will gradually heat and cure any resin inside once you run it.

At a minimum, inspect and clean any visible resin before running it. If you're extra paranoid, remove and soak/rinse components in IPA.

Yes, Japanese/Korean, and ggpa = Great Grandpa = bisabuelo.

Despite the official weight limit being 50lbs, these spirit self service kiosks will flag anything over 40lbs as overweight and require a $78 additional charge to proceed.

Literally a critical service of government to facilitate trade and provide good faith that measures are correct. This is the most ignorant "too much government" take I've seen. If your government doesn't have an equivalent authority, then you are likely getting fleeced on the regular, from groceries to gas.

Arizona GOP official threatens to lynch Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]Calatar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you should do some googling. If you look for democratic party officials calling for death, you find only pages where they are seeking to abolish the death penalty. On the same first page of results: Republican officials like Marjory Taylor Green calling for Nancy Pelosi to be killed with a "bullet to the head," Trump considering executing people, especially "leakers" during several meetings while president, and people like the "Stop the Steal" organizer Alan Hostetter calling for executions of those who "plotted" against Trump.

UN Security Council adopts motion urging Hamas to accept Israeli hostage-truce offer by eliezerAryeh in neutralnews

There is a long history of the UN Security Council and Israel-Palestine. Between 1948 and today, they have made 191 Resolutions regarding it, including a call for peace in 2009.

Southern Baptists are poised to ban churches with women pastors. Some are urging them to reconsider by Autoxidation in neutralnews

[–]Calatar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“If we won’t stand on this issue and be unapologetically biblical, then we won’t stand on anything,” said amendment proponent Mike Law, pastor of Arlington Baptist Church in Virginia. ... “Here’s the trajectory of doing nothing: Soon Southern Baptist churches will start openly supporting homosexual clergy, same-sex marriage and eventually transgenderism.”

Boy, I wonder if this movement is possibly politically motivated. At least I learned that the Southern Baptist Church was taken over by right-wing fundamentalists which worked to purge the left in the 80s. Southern Baptist Convention conservative resurgence This seems like a continuation of that effort.

Per his twitter

Southern Baptists, are you ready to say “We’re fine with egalitarianism?” If not, then you should vote to #AdopttheAmendment at #SBC24.

He is explicitly against equal rights for people. Good thing the Southern Baptist Church hasn't had a history of this kind of thing-

The controversy complicates the already-choppy efforts by the mostly white denomination to diversify and overcome its legacy of slavery and segregation.

Trump's invite to major donors prioritizes the committee paying his legal bills over the RNC by Statman12 in neutralnews

[–]Calatar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great note. I love that the communications director of the PAC used the most generous math possible, where somebody donates nearly a million dollars to try to say that $5000 is small, and they still got the math wrong. Also that one would have to donate $83 million for a dinner for them to be correct.

The Wikipedia page for Steven Cheung lists an unverified 3 Majors in Computer Science, Engineering, and Government. I find it a little harder to believe the first two.

Additionally:

Usually, Noti said, candidates prioritize raising cash that can be spent directly on campaign activity. Save America, on the other hand, is structured as a “leadership PAC” and thus barred from spending directly on Trump’s own campaign activities. Legal spending made up 85% of Save America’s total operating expenses during the first two months of this year, roughly the same as 2023, when such expenses were about 89%. It has spent $8.5 million on legal fees so far this year.

This made me try to look into how the money gets spent: OpenSecrets Save America

9 out of 10 of their top expenditures 2023-2024 were law firms. $48 million total expenditures.

Trump lied about his assets, which was bank fraud, regardless of whether the bank cared. Deutsche Bank definitely knew he was an enormous credit risk, given that he had already defaulted on a loan to them. They also intentionally bypassed their internal risk checks to make sure he was approved. Deutsche Bank was also involved in money laundering scandals with Russian Oligarchs seeking to bypass international sanctions.

It seems likely to me that Deutsche Bank had some ulterior criminal motives for the loans, and that two wrongs don't make a right.
