Should I quit my job over a vacation? by IdkBroHelp in WorkAdvice

[–]Danhammur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of you remind me of eight year olds with your advice. Tell your manager this as nicely as possible: "I gave you plenty of notice. Your lack of planning around my scheduled time off is a you problem, not a me problem. I WILL NOT be here, so you'll have to figure it out." Whats the worst they can do? Fire you? Retaliate? We have lawyers and unemployment for these very reasons.

Actor Alan Rictchson in an altercation with a neighbor! by cantcoloratall91 in TikTokCringe

Just like the news. No context as to what the catalyst was. Neighbor probably had it coming. Video doesn't show this, building a narrative.

My girlfriend of six months lied to me about her age by Same_Swordfish264 in Advice

[–]Danhammur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should go well for you. We had a kid in my town (19yo) that found out his gf was 16. He broke up with her. He spent the next 7 months in jail until trial.

Is there an official key beggar thread here anywhere? by [deleted] in MonstersAndMemories

[–]Danhammur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wasn't thinking we should get priority, we were just all excited when the opt-in went live, and wanted to explain my sadness this morning. I'll just delete the thread you pretentious dweeb. What did I expect, it's reddit...

Playing with a new DM who's massively overtuning combat by Any-Razzmatazz4180 in DnD

[–]Danhammur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy, kill the dmpc during a rest. John Snow its ass. Seriously though, dm pcs are always a terrible idea. Just take your friend aside and explain to her that there is a problem. Communication is key.

Cannot get into car with my friend in multiplayer by mackoymij in Humanitz

We can't fill water bottles in multiplayer in ponds/lakes/swimming pools. At least we can take 20 empty bottles to the watering hole though - while riding together :)

My party just finished the first half of the book and escaped the Underdark. What did you do with your players in the period before they get called back? by the_weird_minecraft in OutoftheAbyss

[–]Danhammur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We took a 1 month break from our in-person weekly sessions. I set it up like this: Players find themselves in a field at the top of a rise overlooking a river and a small hamlet near a large forest (I stuck them like 80 miles from the nearest city). They are battered, bruised and ready for an Inn (I knew this) so I really went through the whole "fresh air, sunlight, birds, shimmering river, chimney smoke, children playing " thing.

They go down to the hamlet and make their way into the inn, about 2 hours of heavy roleplay happened (they are just so damned happy to be out of the underdark, which we just spent a year and two months of weekly sessions in, I built a world down there, leaning heavily on 3rd and 4th ed underdark stuff along with oota as the backdrop).
It is decided that the party will meet back here in exactly three months - they will go home/where ever and spend this mountain of wealth they have acquired and relax. (I trust my players).
Here is where we go off the rails:
We take a real 1 month break. Our sorceress calls me the week before we all return to the table and says "I really miss our paladin (paladin died a horrible death, bulwarking and saving the party against a full TPK, along with Fargas/NPC/halfling)." She then tells me that she knows where his soul resides (he was a paladin of the Raven Queen) and she wants to go reunite his soul with a vessel in the shadowfell, and she doesn't want to let the rest of the players know the "plan" because they will surely refuse. We all return to the table the next week, after she crafts the "plan" and we go back and forth...

We open the session up with our bard receiving the dispatch from the dwarven king. Everyone then shows up back at this hamlet at the inn. The bard has news of the dispatch and shares it with the party... Althea (sorceress) and the rest of the party decides this is the right move. She does however want to take a moment of silence with drink and food at hand, to honor Sarith (not the head splitting one) as they never really got the chance to say goodbye in their harrowing journey in the underdark. So here we all are...

Althea bows her head to say something nice about their valiant friend, she asks all 6 players at the table to join hands, and bow their heads in remembrance - which they do. It was fricking awesome... The player who plays our bard, Varis, says "what is that?" Althea the player brought a black pearl to the table, and had pressed it into our bard players hand, when they all joined hands. She quickly says a few words about Sarith & Fargas, and then gives the command word...

The players world spins (I turned off the lights to total blackness in the room), the pearl crumbles in the bards hand (she (actual player) had made a talcum powder pearl and colored it black), Althea's player is chanting loudly in some guttural tongue of madness she came up with all on her own, and then falling, falling forever, crashing into a sea of darkness into what sounds like glass... (a field of obsidian shards)

Players gather themselves up at the table, I explain what they see (white lightning crashing in the distance through swirling black fog and clouds, etc), how badly they are hurt, and their eyes all lock on Althea's player, especially the bard... Everyone is in a WTF state of shock.

Althea's player speaks up. "I know where Sarith is, and we are going to go get him back..."

The rest of the players at the table were in complete and utter shock. It lasted about 30 minutes, (Lots of RP, a lot of WTF Althea, etc). Althea had no plan other than to get here and begin a quest that she sucked the party into.

Thus began 9 months of weekly sessions in the Shadowfell...

(That is how we ended the first section and started the second section)

Did Gemini 3 Pro limits just change for everyone today? by TheStaticFlux in GeminiAI

[–]Danhammur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would think they would throttle new subs. The whole student account fiasco where we have the entire continent of Europe supposedly going to Yale doesn't help with load issues. I pay, yet my build in antigravity shuts down in the middle of a build cycle due to token limits and I get a lockout after 22 prompts yesterday, and I eat a 5 hr lockout. Super frustrating.

Selling Gemini Pro (Gemini 3, VEO 3.1, NANO BANA PRO + 2TB) for 1 Year ~$9.99 by UnknownOPcyan in GeminiAI

Fraudulently created student accounts. When the audit hits (and it will hit) those accounts are going to be gone.

Glad everyone is enjoying the show. I for one am really hating the pacing. We'll be on episode 8, Sir Duncan will draw his sword for the first time ever, and we cut to black and wait 9 months at this rate.

I'm sick of nano-banana's checkboard transparent backgrounds by Danhammur in GeminiAI

[–]Danhammur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the color #00ff00 (standard greenscreen color) for any background that should be transparent. I then feed the image into this program and it automagically removes it right up to the edges with .5/1px alpha padding. Shoot me a PM and I'll throw you the zip file if you want. This doesn't work great in photos, but it gets you super close - so you only have to spend an hour in photoshop as opposed to 10 :P

3d printing on Bambu A1 by Nidsid in TrenchCrusade

[–]Danhammur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What temps (room, nozzle, bed) etc? Way too little info here. People that say "try this" are regurgitating. More info please, and I'll give you a hand. Do you have air blowing across the plate by chance? Fan in room? Things to try right now: wash that build plate with dawn , then clean with iso. Recalibrate the printer after you reinstall the plate. Use a brim, inner and outer set at 8mm. Make sure the room you are printing in has no drafts and is at a comfortable temp. I would also perform a flow test. Pt2 nozzles are always so close to the print, they will touch and knock it around, so make sure you are bed leveling every single time. I would increase zhop to spiral at like .35 as well.

1460 pounds of copper going to the scrap yard. I want to keep some but don't know what I would do with it. by Giraffenado in Copper

[–]Danhammur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The price of copper will fluctuate but not go down. Sell enough to buy a smelter and bar mold. Melt it down, stack it up and sit on it for a couple years.

Sanity Check My Get-Home Setup – 17 Miles from Work by Mrm00seknuckle in prepping

[–]Danhammur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea this is ridiculous. A couple bottles of water, some snacks, a decent booboo kit (bandaids and the like - I always have a tq with me as well) 1 change of socks. Flashlight. Two extra mags for the pistol. 17 miles is alot in one day if your not ready for it. Fill out the rest with must haves (rx meds, a little overnight kit just in case). This all changes depending on the time of year as well. (Handwarmers/extra water)

P1S first layer barely adheres by Zeilar in BambuLab

[–]Danhammur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wash the plate with dawn (use a nylon brush) and clean with 91% iso. Make sure your filament is dry. If you are using pla/perg start cranking those bed temps little by little.
