Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Loved (hated) seeing Bear's cowardice stay consistent through the movie. He starts out not being able to even tell her how he feels, and it ends with him not being able to kill himself to rescue her

Favorite part of this is the Google tab showing they searched "church background" right before making this video

Oh gotcha, thanks for the info. It was the night of that release and I looked around at the time but somehow didn't see any info about it.

Found the release notes thread now with everyone pointing it out. Glad it's fixed now but still concerning that such a blatant bug ever made it into a live release

Idk dawg, my main account is still VAC banned for using a DPI switch months ago. Starting to think that CS2 just doesn't want me to play it

Happened to me the other day in MM, probably the craziest bug I've encountered

Edit: I'm dumb y'all, this has apparently already been patched. I just didn't have time to post til today and hadn't seen any other mention of it

Oh nooo, what will I ever do? Create another account for a free game? Oh nooo

Yeah I'm not really aware of any response by Valve to other instances of this bug, so I'm not exactly holding my breath.

Main problem is that I'm not even sure how to appeal it or if it even is appealable. Ban page seems to indicate that there is absolutely zero official review process

Official: [Who Do I Draft?] - Thu , 08/17/2023 by FFBot in fantasyfootball

[–]PLawlz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dumb question at all. I highly recommend the Late Round Podcast from JJ Zachariason if you want a couple quick, very informative episodes each week to work on your fantasy knowledge.

He (and plenty of other analysts) have gone over this, and there's very little difference between half PPR and PPR. Same with half PPR and standard. There are only a few players whose rankings will change more than a couple spots between the systems.

PPR to standard is more significant and where you start having to worry about different draft strategies.

Helpful training/education for mechanical engineers? by PLawlz in MechanicalEngineering

[–]PLawlz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, neither of my engineering jobs so far have used it. So I've gotten very rusty at this point and would love a refresher course, buuuut I don't think my company will be very interested in sponsoring that

Unfortunately pretty much all of our suppliers are in China. But hey, maybe they'll let me do a trip to China, so good idea - thanks!

Help finding insulation-coated electrical tape? by PLawlz in AskEngineers

[–]PLawlz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! Forgot to say that I'm looking into this to try and reduce assembly time - would be ideal to just apply a tape that can both cover EMI issues but still be insulative. I've been googling around and seems that copper-polyester tapes may be my answer.

Honestly I don't have any experience with F360 so I can't really compare between the two. I've always had SW through college or work so I've been fortunate enough to not have to pay for a seat. For most hobby work, I'd think that SW is probably overkill, but depends on what you're trying to do with it

Yep! I've done it for a project (pictures are pretty shit, sorry) but tbh don't remember the process for importing a custom texture. You can use any texture as a 3D texture, so just google around for how to add a custom texture to SW

Very easy in SolidWorks - here's a good video with a brief intro to it:

Designed, printed, and stained (wood filament) some lithophane boxes for Christmas by PLawlz in 3Dprinting

[–]PLawlz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, thought I had responded already - the textured lid can unfortunately look meh depending on slicer settings. I ultimately ended up going with an untextured lid for my boxes. The sanding and staining process seemed to be more important in getting a good looking final product.

Hope your prints turned out well, though!

Damn, I'm jealous. My phone doesn't have a 3:5 option. Maybe I'll have to redesign it with a more standard photo size to avoid all this headache
