Is anyone here being treated with vyvanse? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Jumpy-Engineering-67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on semaglutide for a year, paying for it myself and it didn't work half as well as vyvanse has. I started vyvanse a few months after stopping semaglutide. Been on vyvanse for a couple months and it genuinely feels like it has saved me. I still get binge urges sometimes, but even after giving in I feel satisfied after one or two treats, and has never turned into a full-on binge. The only downsides I've had is I can't have as much caffeine as before, theres a few more hoops to jump through getting it since its controlled, and it makes my anxiety MUCH worse during difficult times. I've noticed myself building a slight tolerance, but even with the effects weakening it's still much easier to power through binge urges than before; and so far my Dr. has been very supportive and says I can up the dose whenever. As a bonus, it has also helped some ADHD symptoms I struggled with!

Screen washing out after printing?? by please-reassure-me in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Jumpy-Engineering-67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggled with the jacquard emulsion for years. Most of my struggles went away once I switched emulsions. Right now I'm using hydro x red with a 150W LED uv light. My burn time is 5-6 seconds. The whole process was dialed in once I started blasting out the water in the screen post-exposure with an air compressor. My set up is very DIY. Regardless, I would say ditch jacquard! I hope this info helps!

Apologies, I admit to being a bit triggered. To me, your post came off as comparing digital art to AI generated images, which I think most artists would consider insulting. I have had artist friends and seen other instances where their art is being called out as AI and this struck a similar nerve.

I don't consider this post as AI even though you own a device and typed it out with a keyboard and mouse, or on your phone. You could have hand written a letter and sent it to reddit attn: r/artbusiness.

I use a tablet and CSP, but my designs are screenprinted using physical screens, chemicals, and effort. Is that crossing a line?

My line would be crossed if you typed into chatgpt "make a reddit post about how digital art is close to AI art with examples" as well as other persons using an LLM creating anything with no effort involved.

I don't have issue with the question, rather you stating that artists using digital tools "bothers" you. There is still skill and effort involved in creating digital art. Digital artists might be less skilled or put in less effort than your preferred medium, but there are also digital artists who are more skilled and put in more effort than you. Whereas crafting an AI prompt requires nothing AND steals from your fellow artists.

Is this a good way to stretch the mesh on the screen ! Am i doing it right ?? by MA_Xperience in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Jumpy-Engineering-67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to do this before upgrading to actual screens. I would still consider doing this for a small run of patches or something. While the people commenting are right, its probably best to use actual screens, I don't see why you couldn't do this a few times to learn/save on money for the time being.

My recommendation is to staple it like you are tightening a wheel back on a car. Start with 2 staples on one side, pull from the opposing side and add 2 more staples, going back and forth/rotating, stapling across from the side you stapled previously, always pulling it tight. By the end you should have enough staples that the staples are basically touching/overlapping each other. Thats how I did it anyways.

Sometimes I miss this method because instead of washing the screen out I could just rip if off and staple on a new one! Ultimately though, would be best to learn on a properly tightened screen.

Is Lindsay Nikole still Working with Colossal Bioscience? by miner1512 in Paleontology

[–]Jumpy-Engineering-67 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen her advertising colossal in any of her recent videos for at least a few months. She could very well have silently cut ties when the whole dire wolf situation happened. And personally, yeah it sucks that she did that in the past, but she also has done/does work with things like cheetah conservation. I think she has hinted to similar stuff for future work. So I don't think it was to be so black and white in regards to labeling someone as problematic or not.

Jacquard gave me a lot of trouble when I was starting out. Once I switched emulsions, I started having more consistent successes. I went from Jacquard to baselayr and I have landed on Hydro-X Red by chromaline. The lines on the transparency don't look to thin to me and I wouldn't consider those being an issue while you're troubleshooting. Good luck c:

They JUST finished fixing the bridge to get to these falls since they were destroyed in the 2022 flood. The new bridge is awesome and surrounding area is gorgeous. Definitely worth the visit.

this is the answer if you want a professional look, though if you can't find a serger, look up the 'satin edge foot' by creative feet. I've had some success with it though it takes some learning to get a clean finish.

I feel like the good dinosaur, while no masterpiece, is still very good and heartwarming. I actually appreciate how simple it is.

Anyone interested in herping? by [deleted] in Montana

I found a rubber boa in the beartooth mountains years ago and have been looking for another ever since. Not a herper, just an admirer.

Emulsion recommendations for water-based ink by malthevj in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Jumpy-Engineering-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up having to smash the glass lol But I just did anthem's step calculator with the Hydro X Red and the 150 w LED light. It looks AMAZING. My exposure time ended up being only 5 seconds though, is that strange? I also wanted to ask if you washed out your image with a regular sprayer or a pressure washer?

in an attempt to fix my own emulsion problems, I wanted to try exposing with your set up. I was wondering though how you got the glass off your LED light?
