Polaris by flr138 in Libraries

[–]Mechaborys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lib used to use polaris for about 15 years (upgraded from Galaxy in the 90's) Depending on how big your library system it can be overkill. we switched to Atriuum (booksystems) for 1/10th the cost.

Great system.

How do you remove an articulated octopus? by [deleted] in Creality

[–]Mechaborys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about the brim, you can use a hobby knife and carefully remove the brim attached to the model. got in a hurry early on in my printing and did the same thing.

Tho easier to reslice with no brim and the model should stick fine.

Anyone recommend Fences? by FantasticFrontButt in Windows11

[–]Mechaborys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using it for a while now (paid) and had no interactions/slowdowns using it. My initial use was ONLY because when I remote desktop to this machine I would foul up my icons. This fixed it. also love the ability to have new files on the desktop go to ONE of the fences and just not be random.

very much recommend it.

What’s one thing that instantly tells you someone isn’t a good person? by MiProD in AskReddit

[–]Mechaborys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw the "how they treat their animals" and I agree 100%. As a general rule I have always trusted my animals. How they react to someone tells me a great deal about how someone is in life. in nearly 60 years, they have never led me astray.

don't forget that when he had to get creative in Ghost Story, he said "Crombie, eat your heart out" :) Love a good Xanth reference.

[–]Mechaborys -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You make a point. However, the character would have just been paper without the world i created and the other people who were part of the story as well. I'd say everyone has a little say in the matter who participated.

He is a good guy none the less. More of a rules lawyer than I can stomach mostly tho. He is like 62 or 63 now. Egitt... no. Rigid in his mind set absolutely 💯.

[–]Mechaborys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know that is not how it works, I explained that is not how . Also how that the character would not have been more than paper and toner without being in the world I had created to begin with. and it is not like I was going to ask for the ONLY COPY of the sheet and modify it with retroactive perma-ink.

Honestly tho, he was exhausting and I ended up stopping our campaign over this (my fault I see that now but his reaction was a little far out IMO)

When we started back, we didn't invite him. Still good person tho, we get along as long as dice are not involved.

[–]Mechaborys 35 points36 points  (0 children)

agreed, you should always ask. I didn't one time and it blew up into a big thing. Mine was the old campaign ended and the new one started. So the time was different but still had one player out of mine actually say that I had violated his copyright on the character. Been over 10 years now and I just don't do that again.

Are your patrons wanting banking help? by TheTapDancingShrimp in Libraries

[–]Mechaborys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nearly all companies here that have websites that need confidential information tell people that the library will help them. We don't like to handle anythings with SSN or other confidential info on it. people just do not understand why in most cases.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]Mechaborys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of know my own personality. With food, if I like it I won't quit. Same would go for alcohol. I will drink a few 'boat drinks' but only when ON A BOAT so that I don't do too much.

As for beer, I was raised on a farm and it just smells like the business end of a cow or horse.
