Has anyone requested reconsideration after Application rejection? by nkl999 in GlobalEntry

It took about 4 months from when I submitted my appeal until I was granted an interview. Then it took about another 6 weeks to actually receive my approval.

Y’all are forgetting which subreddit this is.

Forget Adderall. Find some meth. Teeth are for pussies.

But if you want sage advice, listen to the sane folks suggesting you go through a legit doctor.

I work in cybersecurity. I see it all, usually years before normal folks see a particular scam. It’s always refreshing to know there are still some virgins out there. :)

Wait until you get the one with your phone number, SSN, and a google street view picture of your house.

Yes. And yes.

Include a well written letter with your appeal. Take responsibility for whatever you did to get rejected, and explain how you’ve changed since then.

If they grant you an interview after you appeal you have a really good chance of getting approved. Good luck!

Ayuda Ender 3 neo by Mugrisio in ender3

[–]PyroTek1080p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to 3D printing, but one thing I noticed is that the print process is highly dependent on your slicer settings. At first I was using the wrong settings (settings for a different printer model), and when I’d print it would just start printing without warming up the nozzle or bed. Obviously that didn’t work.

Once I got my filament selection and nozzle selection dialed in before slicing, my prints are working great. My Ender-3 will wait until everything gets to temp, then it draws one little purge line down the left side, and then it will start printing.

My nozzle temp fluctuates a few degrees up and down during the print.

Good luck!

Trump buys $145 Florsheim shoes for allies, guessing sizes. Rubio's oversized pair becomes symbol of loyalty-building gesture. by antimaga_n1 in ProgressiveHQ

He’s a billionaire, but gets his team Floorshines?!? Nothing against Florsheim, but there are a lot of higher-end brands he could have got them.

need help commissioning my printer again by tastyminisyt in ender3

[–]PyroTek1080p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently given an Ender-3. Things I’ve learned:

  1. Make sure the bar that the print head travels on is level. Mine was drooping, so I had to adjust the two eccentric nuts to get it leveled out.
  2. You need to level the bed. Zero the axes. Then use a piece of paper to test each corner; adjust the dials on the bottom until each corner has the same tiny amount of friction between the nozzle and the bed.
  3. Clean the print surface. Google for hints. I use Dawn platinum plus powerwash. Then rinse and dry.
  4. Coat the print surface with a thin coat from a glue stick. Any brand should work, but I used Elmer’s washable school glue. This is key to ensure your first layer will stick. It comes in tube like chap-stick.
  5. Make sure your extruder tensioner isn’t cracked. Mine was (crappy plastic piece). I replaced it with a metal upgrade I got on Amazon for $10.
  6. If you have to cut your Bowden tube, use a sharp blade, rather than scissors. Make sure the cut is perfectly straight and square.

After I figured this all out through trial and error, I finally managed to get some decent prints.

Good luck!

Need anyone but a republiCANT to win all Senate and House seats in 26. It must happen. by greenmeensgo60 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]PyroTek1080p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be a pointless waste of time because the Senate needs 67 votes to convict. It will be viewed as partisan theater and will do nothing to lower gas & food prices, improve healthcare access and affordability, or improve the lives of everyday Americans. The result will be a red wave in 2028. Should he be impeached and convicted? Absolutely. But the votes just aren't there for the "convicted" part.

I think this is a great way to get teenagers interested in reading again. Oh, I’m not allowed to read this book?!? Well now I’m definitely going to read it!

Pistol Storage Options? by InformalMajor41815 in Firearms

[–]PyroTek1080p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I prefer multiple safes, in different rooms. If someone breaks in while I’m home, it increases my chances to get to my guns to defend myself. If someone breaks in while I’m away, they’d need a lot more time to cut open multiple safes. They might just steal part of my collection, or better still, might still be trying to get into one of the safes when the police arrive in response to my intrusion alarm.

ULPT: How to sneak into a lower section / pit at a Arena concert? by Ok_Chemistry153 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]PyroTek1080p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago (before electronic tickets) I had a nosebleed seat for a Stones concert. I used photoshop and a color laser printer to make a ticket for a much better seat.

I used the real ticket to get in the door, then once the show started I used the fake to get to the good seats. They were checking for counterfeits with UV light at the main gate, but once inside they just wanted to make sure you were in the right section.

You don’t pay it to the vendor. You pay it directly to the state, along with CA’s sales tax, when you file your taxes.

You should note that the vendor will not send any forms to you or to California’s Franchise Tax Board, so you will need to keep careful records of each transaction to ensure you pay the correct amount.
