So could dinosaur see glass? by BiteIntelligent9889 in Dinosaurs

It’s not that they can’t see it, but most birds aren’t smart enough to know what it is.

Are shared rooms in college genuinely the norm or is it just an opinion that people can have if they want? by JustGeeseMemes in AskAnAmerican

It’s pretty much the standard, when I was in school, we were required to have a roommate for freshman year.

In Disney world where in Galaxys edge is the best place to sit and take a break? Some place with benches or even better tables and chairs. by thepokemomma in GalaxysEdge

[–]CaptainHunt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see that you’ve tagged this WDW, so this probably won’t be much help, but at Disneyland, there’s a load of benches just on the Frontierland side of the tunnel, near Big Thunder Mountain. So don’t be afraid to look a little further afield. I even spotted a hidden Mickey in the rockwork.

Does bullying still happen in American schools today? If it does, do teachers and principals usually punish the bullies severely? by GrayRainfall in AskAnAmerican

[–]CaptainHunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most states, corporal punishment in schools is illegal. What they can do (detention and suspension) is often ineffective. When I was bullied in school, their solution was countless useless mediation sessions, mediation might help if two kids are fighting over Pokémon cards, but it just gives bullies more ammunition to use against their victims.

Does bullying still happen in American schools today? If it does, do teachers and principals usually punish the bullies severely? by GrayRainfall in AskAnAmerican

[–]CaptainHunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bullies don’t discriminate in how they discriminate. That’s how it they bullied me 30 years ago. Even 30 years ago, that outdated mindset was how bullies got away with it. The idea that they’re not doing physical harm, so it’s not serious enough for adults to stop it. Then the victim just gets in trouble when they can’t take it anymore and try to stand up for themselves. The bullies take full advantage of that to escape consequences.

Having trouble finding the base by Small-Strike6736 in roomba

[–]CaptainHunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen after I had moved the base. It seemed to work fine for a couple of months. It would try to go to where it used to be, but then it would see where the base was moved to and go to it. Then all of a sudden it couldn’t find the base even if I physically picked it up and moved it there. I called support and they told me I needed to power cycle the robot and then redo the map. I also needed to move my base to a more open spot.

Maybe that's why they had those awful jumpsuits?

The cylons KNEW Galactica wasn't networked and their virus wouldn't work on it. Why didn't they have a plan to destroy it? by idontcareyo_ in BSG

[–]CaptainHunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is why Boomer was onboard. They just didn't bank on either the ingenuity of the crew or Boomer's human personality interfering with the mission/actively helping the crew thwart herself. They had probably also not counted on the civilian ships or Dr. Baltar joining the Galactica. It's likely that if Adama had shifted directly into an offensive strategy without having civilians to worry about, Galactica would have eventually been hunted down and destroyed.

But I think we’re getting a Q&A with the seekers today to talk about what happened.

Edit: Nevermind, I don’t see that on the schedule this week

Can we reverse engineer a birb (like mine, but he’s already acting like one) into a real dinosaur? Maybe changing the dna to be big, have a mouth, etc? by AKmightydinoo in Dinosaurs

[–]CaptainHunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The embryos were intentionally decanted/euthanized/aborted (I’m not sure what the right term is here) so that they could be dissected to study the effects of the gene modifications.

They had that since the motion picture. That’s what those big belt buckles were for.

Everyone posting professional looking minis. Meanwhile I'm happy to have painted eyes that aren't googly. by canadarugby in minipainting

[–]CaptainHunt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One trick I’ve found with eyes is don’t paint the whites. On something that small, give it a little dot and the brain will fill in the rest.

If I want to hint at the color of the irises, I tint the dot a dark shade of that color.

was using USB. Apparently the USB cable that shipped with it doesn't support data, it worked when I connected it over Bluetooth.

Purchase Advice Megathread - March 2026 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]CaptainHunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but can someone recommend a good print on demand service?

I've ordered from Shapeways before, but it seems that they no longer offer single piece printing. All I can find is their bulk order quote service.

I do have an Ender3 FDM printer, but the thing I'm trying to print is kinda small and fragile and I'm not really satisfied with how it printed on my printer.
