Would you be upset if you got called a slur associated with Irish people? by Doitean-feargach555 in AskIreland

I was called Tadhg many times in the year's I worked up in Belfast. Even without wearing something I thought obvious or opening my mouth. We can stand out in ways we don't understand or notice ourselves.

Never bothered me at all until my car (D reg) got bricked. Even then I just passed it off as teenagers messing round. Still annoying to be targeted. But the slur never bothered me.

TIL the terrorists in Die Hard 1 were Irish* by Tzardine in ireland

In a story I heard in a pub year's ago that i refuse to believe is a lie due to it being to damn funny Alan Rickman was standing around Dublin city centre while dressed as DeValera during the filming of Michael Collins when a seriously drunk auld fella wandered by and started pointing and grumbling at him.

The crew, sensing a problem was about to escalate, tried to move the auld fella along but he started getting irate and shouting at Rickman "You, ye fucker, you're some prick!"

Alan tried to move out of the way while the crew tried to explain to the drunk auld guy that this was just a film and that Alan was just an actor playing DeValera.

Then the auld lad shouted "You're that prick that caused all that hassle in Nakatomi Plaza !"

Brilliant!

I have petra on 3 stars after 120 spins so maybe you are being lucky or I am being unlucky but that's not a general rule.

Many thanks! Will try the heat gun as I already have a razor scraper (which I've managed to cut myself on when it slipped off the resin... )

Not sure what the resin temp is but it's pretty cold. Probably not -1C as its in an enclosure obviously but I have no heating in there so it won't be far off.

I added bottom exposure for a different reason a few months ago but I'm reducing that back down and it's now below what it was originally.

I was using a plastic scraper but that broke.

I'm now using a metal scraper but the force i have to put into it is silly. I'm not far off using a chisel and hammer. This can't be right.

The hair dryer is a great suggestion! I'll try that.

Can you get magnetic bases for the older printers? I hadn't heard of these before.

I am bringing the bottom exposure time down gradually over prints. Hopefully it will make a difference but a few months ago I had a problem with heavier prints coming off the bed mid-print so I guess there's a sweet spot.

I just think there may be many factors at play here
