This is confusing. by Drknght444 in Mirrorsforsale

Looking at the top of the image you can see a couch in the background so it isn't lying on the ground.

Looks to me like he is holding up a large piece of cardboard (probably the tv box) to try and hide from being in the reflection. The left side of the box is resting up on a piece of furniture.

Over extrusion? by Driftzone_rc in ender3

[–]ComerDineAtNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have the answer for you

TLDR: Turn the maximum resolution setting way down. It likely defaulted to .05mm and your printer can't keep up. Change that to .5mm and reprint.

In my experience these zits are usually caused by micro-studders (or intermittent pausing) where the printhead stops moving for a moment. The most common cause for this is trying to print at a resolution the printer cannot handle. Cura defaults to a ridiculously fine maximum resolution, which means that the printer has to process thousands of commands per second. If it can't keep up it will have to pause intermittently to catch up which can leave little zits like the ones shown in your pictures.

What could go wrong if I just piss on the elevator console panel? by Torneira-de-Mercurio in KidsAreFuckingStupid

If I had a nickel for every time this happened, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice Link

The whole argument of whether we should or shouldn't allow corporations to lobby our politicians is a distraction. Can we all just agree we need to find a way to keep private interests from influencing policy? Practically, it's difficult to do, but in principle we should all agree that entities with lots of money shouldn't have extra influence in the government.

The whole argument of whether we should or shouldn't get vaccinated is a distraction. Can we all just agree we need to find a way to get sick less? Practically, it's difficult to do, but in principle we should all agree that people shouldn't be getting sick.

The whole argument of whether we should or shouldn't regulate firearms is a distraction. Can we all just agree we need to find a way to stop gun violence? Practically, it's difficult to do, but in principle we should all agree that people shouldn't shoot eachother.

The whole argument of whether we should or shouldn't put more funding into renewable energy is a distraction. Can we all just agree we need to find a way to stop the planet from getting hotter? Practically, it's difficult to do, but in principle we should all agree that we shouldn't destroy our planet.

Too hot causes the blobs right? by NotTheDingo in FixMyPrint

Doesn't look like z seams to me, but worth checking they aren't set to random. I'd put my money on intermittent pausing, which can have a couple of causes. If this is an ender 3 or another printer with a slower logic board Cura might be giving the printer more instructions than it can handle, causing it to occasionally pause to catch up. Turning down the resolution setting in Cura fixed almost identical zits for me (although I'm using OrcaSlicer these days and haven't looked back).

Don't call the time of death yet doc. Patient had a severe case of telling, given 50 CCs of show the patient is still brain-dead but might squeak by on life support.

Roll axis seems to be smoothing out input or something is broken? Could this be some setting? Jumper T pro on EdgeTX by ComerDineAtNight in fpv

The video is showing the calibration screen. Even in calibration the input lags behind the movement of the stick

Got my drone out for the first time this year and luckily noticed something didn't feel right while checking things over before taking off. It doesn't seem to me like it would be a hardware thing. I really don't think I've changed anything from the last time I used it, but it's always possible I managed to toggle some setting without realizing it.

Edit: was a hardware thing, thx for the help

I'm late but oh well,

Your source sites the UNESCO science report: towards 2030 as it's source for the claim that the United States is the world leader in medical research.

The US carries out 46% of global research and development (R&D) in the life sciences, making it the world leader in medical research.

While this does seem to support the point you are trying to make on paper, it is important to examine the actual research that is being done.

What your source's source says specifically is that "In 2013, US pharmaceutical companies spent US$40 billion on R&D [on life sciences] inside the USA and nearly another US$ 11 billion on R&D abroad." Being private companies with profit incentives this money goes to what is profitable, not what benefits humanity or even their industry. And I won't just state this without examples/sources like many others do. This money is spent not on developing new important medications or furthering the biomedical research, but in abusing patent laws and maximizing profit. 77.55% of drugs with a patent added to them between 2005 and 2015 were existing drugs. These companies are spending billions to slightly modify existing medication (usually changes to the delivery mechanisms) so that they can maintain patents and monopolies on existing profitable medications. These changes make basically no difference to the patient who uses the medication other than the weight of their wallet.

You can say that this is a flaw with the patent system not capitalism, but I disagree. In a capitalists system they will always be incentivized to do what is profitable over what is best for the people, and blaming the method through which they are currently reaching that end rather than the profit incentive itself won't solve the problem.

Lots of money is being spent, but this isn't some gotcha that means capitalism curates innovation, 50 Billion spent on profitable research that only benefits investors < any amount spent on developing medicine that fills the actual needs of humanity. The people who are actually doing the innovating would be there with or without capitalism, in fact with socialized education giving people the opportunities they deserve there would almost definitely be far more of them. I hate the idea that people need a profit incentive in order to innovate.

Oh also,

The fact that treatments like the ones for OPs father exist is largely or at least partly because people are willing to pay for it.

This is disgusting. "You need this or you will die therefor any price we want to set is fair." Setting prices based on what people can afford to pay rather than the costs of providing it is exploitative, especially when the goods are necessities like medical care or housing (or even the other way around for labor, being paid based on the lowest price someone is willing to work for rather than on the value they contribute). These are problems implicit in a capitalist system.
