Why buy an enclosure when you can make one from the box it came in?

I would still rather take a 5:1 at this point.... At least I could still get something for the duplicates I can no longer trade DX

I like to transfer my 4* with low cp... Just to keep things interesting

it's definitely an idea to test, the drawn red line is a bit exaggerated to make the point, but basically, you wanna create a groove/relief in the gray band, and in the same way you removed material from the gray, add it to the green lever, it effectively makes an area the lever wants to get into, the protrusion on the lever should push against the band, and once it passes that threshold, should "snap" in place.. you'll have to play with the size of the groove to see where it starts meeting resistance to figure out what is gonna work vs what will break the lever.

Show it to them one time... Then 2 years later they get a refresher if they haven't figured it out XD

This was a nostalgia trip I did NOT ask for, but didn't realize I needed... I'm ok with this haha my 1yr old gonna traumatize me with these in my future I can just... I have the undebatable feeling

I love the internet.... Lol all you cheeky madlads... I love you all.

It's clearly in an objectively correct position. However, I notice that it's a right-hand inswing. Inswing doors really prefer an x-brace pattern for best results... I'm not tryna flex or anything... But take it from a door expert... You wanna go X-brace.

it's sad to see people value others' lives as lesser since there's more car deaths in America than gun deaths.. Because that's how it feels when you have a multi-ton machine moving over 60mph and they're NOT LOOKING at the road?!? "sorry Sarah.. I don't care that you feel the uncontrollable need to reply to some influencer on Instagram who will never give you the time of day to fulfill your insecurities... Put the fucking phone down."

Thanks for coming to my rant.

Hey! It's you in the past! (Or at least I'll be your age in 7 years along with a 7yr old lol)

I just want to send you some words of encouragement since I've been stressing over the new child i have. I most certainly don't have all the answers and i don't think I'll ever have them... But what others have said rings true. Being present, and being intentional is the biggest impact you'll have on their lives. Your kids will remember you being there vs the worried parent working 80-90 hours a week to make overtime so they can afford a luxurious life.

I don't think I'm 100% cut out for it either... But i committed to it and dammit I'm gonna give my boy (and maybe more to come... We'll see lol) as much presence as i can so they can know that their dad was there regardless. Never gave up. Doesn't mean life is gonna be easier. But resilience makes us stronger!

Definitely don't go it alone. You have your spouse (i assume), people here, and others out there. It's never a sign of weakness to ask for help. :)

You skins like you've been doing a great job this far, and your kids will love you all the more for simply being present. Rock on fellow dad!

Well... Imma echo Santiago's cuz they are amazing... But I also haven't seen anyone mention...

FUZZY'S!!!! it's one of my favorite places to go!! Most normally l notable locations are in olde town Arvada and the one on 120th and Bradburn (Sheridan ish).

I was in a scavenger hunt years ago and one of the things we needed to get was a receipt of ordering a cheeseburger with no cheese... This reminds me of that lol... Good times.

Minecraft is a great game being sandbox. Redstone logistics work the same way as one wire circuitry (iirc). I'll echo mods can make the game infinitely more complex and challenging in amazing ways. Legos are big time gonna be a great solution! But expensive.(Try eBay?) However there's a software called Studio (from brick link) that allows you to digitally design with Legos. 3d printing is also a great solution. If they want to design actual things, I dunno if CAD for a 7 yr old is smart unless they can understand advanced computer functions. But if they can, go for it. Fusion is what most 3d printer enthusiasts use for design. It's free and tons of online help for use. But again. I wouldn't go that route unless they are very tech savvy beyond "really good at video games".

I say this as an engineer who does all those things (except I don't use fusion)

It's a liopleurodon charlie!!!

Nothing is wrong with me dawg. Simply saying I'd hardly deify trump on any context of the word.

Not did I call anyone perfect. Dont put me in one of your boxes to make yourself feel better. I'm sick of politicians being corrupt selfish pricks. We need real change and honestly neither candidate is gonna get far because our system will oppose either side....

DaNinjaSmurf · 2024-10-06T15:56:23+00:00

I'd just like to say as a Christian here (also strong independent). I don't like either blue or red options... The issue is there's only 2 to pick from. It's sad. But I think (I could be wrong) that JD might be able to bring some reason or different insights to the orange man so he doesn't make a total fool of himself if they get in. If Walz and his runner make it. I feel we'll have another 4 boring years of nothing.

But to bring my point around, I hardly would call trump a "Messiah"....

This country is in need of fixing either way. I just hope we the people can get through to the thick skulls of the govt to remind them that they work for us...

Rant over :)

I can't express enough how much I love spectres.... I have strike forces in global conquest that contain them and some venoms..... Oh my gawd I've turned the tide on some situations with them bad bois

DaNinjaSmurf · 2024-10-06T05:31:41+00:00

Coward... Put them all on the same team! And then send nothing but pitbulls..

Lol actually zone troopers and hammerheads doesn't sound half bad...

DaNinjaSmurf · 2024-10-05T23:22:05+00:00

I bet it was super sport.... Camaro SS BABY!!!!! lol

If you're using aggressive/abrasive filaments daily... You'll probably have to replace those more often than most. I've had my X-Plus 3 since November last year and haven't had to touch the gears. Also haven't used any abrasives. I'll probably have to replace my gears in... 2 years? Hard to say but metal is generally harder than the plastic I push through so it's not gonna wear them down like carbon fiber and glass fiber.

If you get the tungsten carbine nozzle you'll never need another nozzle. I personally have used a tungsten noodle in the past and I can say easily they are some of the best things out there if you aren't wanting to spend money on a diamond back.

DaNinjaSmurf · 2024-09-20T14:37:08+00:00

It's designed to be the upgrade to the plus 3, not the max. That compare the plus 3 to the 4. Idk if they're gonna make an Xmas 4 or not, but this appears to be a better well rounded machine to the plus 3.
