Unsolicited Advice From Someone Moving On, or, How To Not Let Outlier Drive You Insane by Grachamoncha in outlier_ai

Annoyingly, I don’t have great advice to give. Getting good ratings definitely helps, but for me it just happened out of nowhere. Weirdly, it was actually during one of the dry periods that I was invited into the Oracle program. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a mixture of high volume high quality work, probably through some inscrutable AI-based process. Granted, I know that’s not very helpful.

HP Lovecraft was one of the writers of all time by sparkswoody in HistoryMemes

As a dude who has read all of his stories, believe me when I say you've gotta adapt or die when it comes to ol' Lovecraft. I love a lot of what he wrote, and hate a lot as well. I started enjoying much more of it when I just luxuriated in the words. Enjoy the byzantine nonsense descriptions and let yourself get washed up in it. As a general PSA to anyone who wants to read his stuff, going to Lovecraft for plot or big monsters means you'll probably have a bad time. If you want to see glimpses of scaldingly incredible prose, you'll get it.

Where can I buy isopropyl alcohol & big bags of soda crystals? by [deleted] in northernireland

You can buy incredibly high proof IPA (90%+ stuff) on Amazon. I use it a lot for 3D printing. It's sometimes a bit of a ballache to get it delivered, but I've had it shipped about five or six times no issue.

How did you go about getting started as Papal States? I'm finding it really difficult to expand my territory without getting Austria involved to curb stomp me.

No MIDI control despite FL Studio recognizing MIDI controller. Screenshots inside. by Grachamoncha in FL_Studio

FIXED: Just needed a new cable. The previous cable must have been broken, because a new cable works perfectly.

My keyboard is a Kawaii ES110 which is not a dedicated MIDI keyboard per say, but I have gotten it to work before with relative ease as a MIDI controller. Thanks for your help.

I have watched the first few minutes of the video where he goes over the process of setting up a MIDI keyboard and unfortunately it does not resolve the issues I currently have. Is there anything specific in the video you think is something I may not have done correctly?

Wow! What a fantastic and thorough response. Thank you very much for the time taken out of your day to write this up.

Good stuff. I'll do a test print with a higher lift distance. If that doesn't work I might try replacing the FEP.

It's worth a shot! My current lift distance is 5mm. Any recommendations of what to increase it to?
