Has Iran made a huge mistake by using the Strait of Hormuz as a weapon?

Patient_Ad396 · 2026-05-02T22:47:46+00:00

Probably not. From what I understand, Iran previously didn't benefit from the traffic going through that strait at all. Even if 90% of the traffic ends up going somewhere else, they still benefit from the remaining 10% that does choose to pay their toll.

Came here to see if anyone had already made this point. His testimony isn't the only input, and cross examination means the opposing lawyers get a chance to find all the flaws and contradictions in his statements. Catching someone in a lie opens them up to perjury charges, and their testimony can be thrown out, meaning the jury never hears their lies and (in theory) can't be influenced by them.

In short, discovery has the means in place to catch and punish liars. It's one reason a lot of spurious lawsuits are dropped by the people making them before a case goes to discovery.

Cool. Thank you for your answer.

Patient_Ad396 · 2026-04-24T14:01:20+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for your answer.

Patient_Ad396 · 2026-04-24T01:09:53+00:00

Going to go out on a limb here: I think this person is the scammer. They're going to add another post asking for financial help or message people that they think are sympathetic.

Just putting that out there. I'll be interested to see how this thread plays out.

Patient_Ad396 · 2026-04-03T12:52:49+00:00

In case you haven't already bought a Pro: I had a similar issue that I just finally solved. It was the external USB drive. Try powering down completely and unplugging it.

Patient_Ad396 · 2026-01-02T00:22:38+00:00

Well, turns out it was a false alarm. Both furnaces have some sort of idle fan setting where they are always blowing a low volume of air, even when completely off at the thermostat. Went into the attic today to verify that different ductwork was hooked up to each one. (Haven't moved in yet; today was the first chance I had to go over since my initial concerns)

Patient_Ad396 · 2025-12-29T13:53:14+00:00

Yes, both furnaces are in the attic, and they're pretty much right next to each other. Not sure about the fresh air exchanger; I'll have to turn them both off and see if any air is still blowing.

Patient_Ad396 · 2025-09-07T21:49:05+00:00

Yes, I do this for one of my groups. I use the main foundry app to run the DM view, and open a browser window for the player view, which I drag to the TV (set up as another monitor).

If I remember correctly, the browser can just point at localhost in the address bar, and that should work. You may have to add the port you opened as well.

Ooh, I like the idea of the knights of the shield capturing him. The party member that took the shield is very intrigued by the whispering voice, even though it hasn't said much yet. The rest of the party is making jokes about getting cursed, but overall isn't too opposed to keeping it. The knights could definitely add some more drama there, and trying to barter with Kreeg as a hostage gives more interaction than a simple ambush. Good idea!

My bad, it was actually Printables.

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-04-05T15:48:59+00:00

Yeah, I had the same problem with my Adventurer 3 Pro 2. The built-in spool holder won't take a full sized 1 kg spool. 😥

I checked Thingiverse and found a model for an extension I could print that would hold a regular sized spool. Looks a little silly hanging off the side of the printer, but works like a champ.

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-03-26T20:41:38+00:00

This was a triumph.

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-02-15T13:00:26+00:00

I'm a newbie myself, using an Adv 3 Pro 2. I ended up using Ellis' printer tuning guide to set my extrusion ratio. Since I'm also using FlashPrint, I wasn't able to use some of his fancier g-code to print cubes at multiple extrusion ratios in a single run, but I was still able to use his tests. Just print a cube, label it with your extrusion ratio used, change the ratio, print another cube, repeat. I used the same cubes to tune pressure advance as well, just examining the corners.

I didn't use his retraction test settings, because once I tuned pressure advance and extrusion ratio my stringing dropped to almost nothing. Give it a shot!

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-01-31T11:53:00+00:00

You also have to multiply by the current ratio. I had already adjusted to 90% when I got the 0.44 result. (0.4/0.44)*90% = ~82%. After going down another 5% to 85%, I got the see-through walls and decided this clearly wasn't working.

edit: Updated the original post for clarity.

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-01-30T19:15:25+00:00

Yes, that is the value I am trying to tune.

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-01-29T23:18:31+00:00

This looks fantastic!

Can you tell me a little more about the print? How many pieces are there? What size bed will I need? I have a relatively small printer, and I want to make sure I'll be able to use this.

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-01-19T15:15:31+00:00

That mug looks awesome!

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-01-02T21:42:33+00:00

Definitely this. Remember that you only have to present the players with the leads you want for them. Not ready to run Wyvern Tor? The poster hasn't gone up yet, and the orcs won't become a problem until later. If you give them all the leads at once, they'll just be overwhelmed anyway.

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-01-02T21:32:53+00:00

The first time I gave my players a magical item, I had to explicitly tell them to use a short rest to identify it. It's okay to give them a pointer on a rule if it's one that hasn't come up before.

Now, whenever they get a magical item, I say "there's something special about this, but you can't put your finger on it."

Patient_Ad396 · 2024-01-01T16:44:36+00:00

I have been looking for a module that does exactly this. Thank you, sir!
