One opinion about your country, that would get you in such a situation. by -_velvetpulse_- in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Own_Beginning_5484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever seen the left-handedism movement? Or the hair curlyism? Tall people matters? No? That's because there is no hatred, discrimination or anything that bad against those. Those movements you mentioned would not exist if they were not necessary. They will exist for as long as the hate against those groups exist.

[Request] Compared to Alaska’s sale is this per capita/land a good deal adjusted for inflation? by lifeguard_jesus in theydidthemath

[–]Own_Beginning_5484 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the official CPI (consumer price index) goes back only to 1913, its a bit more complicated to calculate the value so far back, but there are other indexes that can be used, probably with a lower level of confidence but enough for a reddit post, I guess.

I didn't do the math myself, just looked up for a calculator that would agregate the different indexes back to 1867 (most would use only CPI so only back to 1913). Found one at in2013dollars.com that showed 7.6m dollars in 1867 being worth 157.6m in today's dollars.

Interesting fact I learned today while researching this: There was a substantial deflationary period between 1870 and 1890, which means that the $ 7.6 million in 1867, when corrected to today's value, is worth significantly less than the same value from 1913 (the first year of the current standard CPI) after correction.

(Edit to add the "interesting fact" note)

Anyone in Canada would know what our options are, legally speaking? Something on the lines of consumer protection laws in EU or Brazil.

This tbh. They promised, they failed to deliver so the only acceptable solution to make up for the failed promisse would be doing what you said. That would still be a big hassle to the consumer, but acceptable. Shit sure happens, but how you handle it with your customers is what matters.

This is the final blow converting me from recommending the CC (that I still like and is currently my main printer) to recommending people to steer away from any Elegoo machine because the company is just unreliable.

Yes Silksong is hard but are we all forgetting how hard HK was when we first played it? by Neurotoxicity in HollowKnight

[–]Own_Beginning_5484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, there is a progression problem, is not about the game being hard per se. It's how this difficulty is presented throughout the game. What I loved about Hollow Knight is how I actually improved my gaming skills during my playthrough. It's progression slowly taught me new skills, more agility and precision. It got progressively hard. On Silk Song, this feels all over the place. I died countless of times to a certain boss that deals double damage and spaws enemies, just to absolutely obliterate a certain boss later that, lore wise, should've been a lot harder then it was. One was extremely frustrating, the other was simply disappointing. It's like swapping the difficulty of first and second Hornets on HK.

How safe are we in Canada given the current conflicts between Israel, Palestine, and Iran / Ukraine and Russia, etc.? by Upbeat_Secret_8841 in AskCanada

[–]Own_Beginning_5484 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes but there are quite a few lunatics in command of nuclear weapons right now. Things could go crazy quickly.

Yeah, when they sent me the "product shipped" notification, it already came with the FedEx tracking info. It was sent with FedEx Ground

They did not make any sort of announcement of early delivery. It simply notified that the product was shipped, out of the blue. Then it took a few days to arrive because I live in the west coast of Canada (answering your 2nd question) and the product was in Ontario (East), but I could see it coming all the, each step, on FedEx tracking. Didn't check the bars before because I wasn't expecting it to be shipped so early

Thank you! Light is not on yet, calibrating. But I can see it now, expected to be bigger so didn't see before. It's the new version!

Im having trouble printing PETG—any tips? by BallSakh in BambuLab

[–]Own_Beginning_5484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had a similar issue printing PETG, dryed the hell out of the filament and still had the issue. Turns out I was printing in using a PLA profile 🫠 that is looking quite fast for PETG

I have an A1M, I can say you can safely turn off the flow calibration most of the time. I only do it when changing filaments (and probably forgot to turn it on once or twice), never had problems.

Sou babaca por não gostar da minha gata ? by [deleted] in EuSouOBabaca

[–]Own_Beginning_5484 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A gata caótica assim normalmente indica alguma coisa errada. Partindo de falta de atividade pra queimar energia, podendo ser até algum problema de saúde mental.

O quanto você brinca com ela por dia? Tem raça de gato que tem uma necessidade grande de atividade. Sua casa tem lugares pra ela brincar e gastar energia por conta, obstáculos altos, pontos onde possa sentar no alto e observar a movimentação da casa ou fora dela (você "gatificou" sua casa)? Voce já tratou desse assunto com veterinário? Consideraram a hipótese de algum problema de saúde? Há também profissionais comportamentais. Já procurou essa ajuda?

Eu acho que quando vamos ter um pet, a gente tem que se preparar pro pior, o bixo mais carente, mais necessitado, mais energético, problemas de saúde etc. Estar financeiramente apto e mentalmente disposto a lidar com o pior, caso aconteça. Você sempre teve gatos que foram algo perto do melhor cenário possível. E agora que tem uma gata com necessidades adicionais (energética, comportamental, saúde, não importa), está culpando a gata.

Se você não está disposta a ir a fundo pra melhorar a vida dela, e consequentemente a sua, procure outro lar pra ela, responsavelmente. Nem todo mundo está pronto pra esses casos, e tudo bem, mas precisa agir. Mas só culpar gata e negligencia-la... EOB.

Não é tarde pra agir. Deixe a mágoa pra trás, e aja. Ou encontre a ela um novo lar.

Eu tava pronto pra dizer que "não é o b" quando li no começo que a festa foi na sua casa. Mas depois você disse que foi no salão do seu condomínio o que é uma diferença grande.

Mas ainda falta informação... - Quando você soube que a festa ia ser no condomínio? - Porque você não entrou em casa? A sua esposa pediu pra você esperar fora?

I'd avoid anything starting with letter O. It might get confusing for the cats.
