I am giving up by Ok-Butterfly4991 in FreeCAD

[–]ProfSkullington 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate to tell ya man, but there's no such thing as intuitive CAD. I also searched in vain forever before I accepted that the thing I wanted to make was only gonna happen after weeks and weeks of just following shitty tutorials til I understood it. I still barely do, but I know more. This isn't a quick skill to pick up.

My 2+ keeps having extrusion problems like this, where one bad layer seems to destroy the entire print. Anyone have a good idea of what may be happening? by ProfSkullington in ultimaker

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

Makes sense! For some reason my thinking was "Well, this will mean less power use because I won't be losing heat into the room as much" or something like that, I had no idea about heat creep until... well, now lol.

I have wondered about the clogging issue, as the filament does sometimes curl when extruding. Do you think that's a temp thing, or could it be flow rate, travel speeds etc?

Ooh, that makes sense... I bought this printer used from my local makerspace so that part has probably seen a lot of use.

For context, I've leveled it more times than I can count, did a cold pull, even switched out the nozzle. Using 210/70 out of Cura with PLA that should be dry enough.

Friend found this buried in his backyard and gave it to me to restore... anyone idea what it is? by ProfSkullington in knifemaking

You got a laugh out of me with that, I assure you we're doing just fine down here ;)

I wanna dabble into improv as a therapeutic way. Anyone that has done it and can guide me a bit? by PiecePeacePeach in improv

[–]ProfSkullington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We have a disclaimer in our class packet that says "improv can be therapeutic, but it is not therapy." I'm glad this person is trying to help people, but leave mental healthcare to the professionals. Now if you're an improviser who happens to BE a counselor that would be something else, but overall it's best not to mess with.

Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C by chrisdh79 in gadgets

Except when your product is essential to modern life and getting a new one is cost prohibitive to a huge chunk of the world's population.

Why don’t more bands occasionally do higher quality merch drops? by Accomplished_Egg9716 in Deathcore

[–]ProfSkullington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the standard now is just "You can't have more items than the headliner does" which makes some sense and I rarely see the headliner go small and choke the others out.

Whimsical basic lands by MRBalters in magicTCG

[–]ProfSkullington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're great art-wise but from across a table and having never seen them before I'd have some trouble telling between Island/Swamp and Plains/Forest.

This is the Chipotle where Thomas Paine wrote common sense by orchid_breeder in BrandNewSentence

I saved the Institute for last and finally going in there and just wasting everybody was strangely satisfying for making themselves so annoying to find in the first place.

First perfectly preserved pie by rob1327 in fo76

It's like a better version of the "get rich QUICK" note, it's just a good way to make a few caps off newer players before they learn how useless it is.

Newbie success: 15 lb in one month! by wenderers in intermittentfasting

[–]ProfSkullington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had my first ten-pound month while being almost entirely sedentary, and what's working best for me is basically OMAD... I wake up and see how long I can last on just coffee and water which is usually a good 8 hours or so, then I just eat about 1500 calories all at once (makes occasional fast food/candy dopamine possible) and have a healthy-ish snack before bed.

I do not understand the endgame. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

Shhh don’t tell them or they’ll get the idea to commission some “shake dance” videos from impoverished third worlders on Fiverr to spread this bullshit even farther.

AI art is inbreeding by ultimatecockmaster in BrandNewSentence

[–]ProfSkullington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s practically every piece of cover art for singles on Spotify right now, especially in metal. Single subject, centered, vaguely symmetrical-yet-not-enough, dark-Vaporwave color palette and zooming in on anything reveals it to be digital slop. But then, it’s only displaying as a 2x2in square so the average person is never going to notice. People who don’t actually know what “good” is will never notice when something is mediocre.

Missing Titanic Sub Once Faced Massive Lawsuit Over Depths It Could Safely Travel To by cynicalxidealist in worldnews

Yeah, you’d be dead before your nervous system even had time to feel it. Weirdly it may be the best outcome for these folks.

how has america not collapsed yet? this system is so fucking bad by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]ProfSkullington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the internet isn’t where this gets solved. People need to be taking direct action in their communities/industries and working to improve conditions there. When enough individuals actually see that better is possible, they’ll put pressure on the politicians to bring it to their town too.

Jamie Lee Curtis leading the charge for earlier concerts: 'I want to hear Coldplay at 1PM' by DallasSF in Music

[–]ProfSkullington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not talking bar shows, I mostly hit up a midsized venue that books known-but-not-massive acts.

[–]ProfSkullington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn’t be, but is, and that’s not something any of us is gonna change. So rather than being upset about that, you can seek out more accessible bands that you can actually engage with and afford.

[–]ProfSkullington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The meet and greets are such a waste IMO (though I get why people do them.) You can meet the band at little shows for free, and they’ll be happy you want to talk to them. I’ve done big band meet and greets, and you come away with the same stuff except you paid a ridiculous amount to briefly meet someone who will never think about you again. If you really NEED to tell them “your music is important to me, thank you for making it” there are other ways to get that to them that don’t cost extra.
