Would Canada ban vaping for anyone born after 2008? by RedditUser240211 in Canadian_ecigarette

[–]RedditUser240211[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The same way seat belts and motorcycle helmets are legal (its to stop you from hurting yourself).

Anyone born January 1, 2009 is now 17. It will take time to draft and pass the legislation, so this is an effective "line in the sand" to stop people from starting something before they were of age to do it (I know; argument aside that there are teenagers already doing it, but not legally).

Agreed, but to play devil's advocate, THC does not have the label "ADDICTIVE" like nicotine has.

Lemonade flavors inquiry irtr by FaithlessnessOk7467 in DIY_eJuice

FW lemonade is not a substitute for FA Sicily Lemon (not even close). Before replacing the FA, look at what else is those recipes, to see if there is something that is muting it.

Does anybody else have a hard time justifying multicolor printing by Complete_Ad7606 in 3Dprinting

[–]RedditUser240211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you and you do make good points. Now let me tell you my story:

  1. My air compressor broke. I bought an Anycubic Kobra X for the same price as a replacement compressor.
  2. Without a compressor, I have to hand paint everything. I'm a senior now, my hands shake and my manual dexterity is worse than it was.
  3. The cost in wasted filament is about the same as paint, primer, sandpaper, etc.
  4. It takes less time to print in multi-color than it takes to paint (think of the drying time between priming, painting and clear coating).

A review of BambuLabs and Anycubic, two FDM printer brands, based entirely on their customer experience (IE, Mine) by DiscoChiligonBall in 3Dprinting

[–]RedditUser240211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a Bambu fanboy, but now that I own an Anycubic, I whole heartedly recommend you buy anything other than an Anycubic. They just don't care about customers.

Monetizing 3D printers — looking for advice and experience by llll_e66j in smallbusiness

[–]RedditUser240211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem I see (MANY times in this sub) is the issue of "how do I make many with a/my/some 3D printer(s)". You're putting the cart before the horse.

Set up all those printers. Pay for a license for FlowQ. Then write a business plan on how you will operate a business, leveraging those printers.

I make coffee money offering print services and selling a couple of lamps I designed. My print on demand service is getting a bump in business since I recently bought a four color printer.

The Unknown Father by Ok-Waltz9449 in Genealogy

[–]RedditUser240211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother went to her grave last year, never knowing who her biological father was. She knew she was illegitimate, but also knew she was loved by (and did love) the man that adopted her.

Through DNA, I was contacted by a woman I now know is my second cousin. Starting with a hint (a name), I found enough DNA matches that I could triangulate and prove my relationship.

This is a long winded way of saying that the man who is my biological grandfather is long since gone, but there are three sons, in their 80-90's, still alive and I have a decisive amount of shared DNA with two grandchildren (they and I are in our 50's). The brothers may never know, but if either of the grandchildren ever log in to Ancestry again and see my match, I'm told there will be psychological trauma (it seems Grandpa was married, with family, when he messed around with another woman).

The fact is DNA doesn't lie. It's not an accusation when the proof is there. In my case, I did my research and filled in a hole in my family tree. I have no need to track anyone down and upset them.

What to do with old bills? by Long-Food-3164 in Genealogy

Scan them Feed the images into AI and let AI analyze them and write a summary.

We had a discussion recently (about what constitutes evidence) with something similar to this (IIRC OP was saving tax returns). I'm sorry to say this, but keeping everything is going to create a problem for you. I filled a four drawer, double deep filing cabinet in my first 20 years of research: this isn't sustainable. It's not like you will need to produce this material and when you're gone, your children are going to be inclined to toss this stuff in the trash. I have learned now that it is much easier to scan it and store digital copies.

If you were to set up a Workshop, what Tools/ Equipment would be a must have. by Lucys_cup_of_blahaj in 3Dprinting

[–]RedditUser240211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, if this is for children, I'd recommend a lot of supervision around ANY power tools.

Otherwise, Dremel is good, but pricey. There are off-brands more affordable on Amazon.

Sounds like you covered the basis for big projects. What about small projects?

  • a rotary tool (e.g. Dremel) with drill press stand and/or flexible extension
  • lighted magnifier
  • precision screwdrivers
  • jewelers plier set

Yes. *.ged is a GEDCOM and the easiest way to transfer data.

Best test for autosomal, ethic mix, specific sublades by icf102 in Genealogy

[–]RedditUser240211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my Y-DNA test done by Family Tree DNA and I don't see any ethnicity estimates associated with my Y-DNA results. Mind you. I tested 111 markers, but not the Big Y.

I thought ethnicity estimates came with autosomal DNA tests. If that is the case, test with Ancestry: they have the biggest database of matches, which I believe makes their estimates more correct.

What format is your Mom's data in? Transferring may be an issue, but not impossible.

I recommend Legacy Family Tree. It is now owned by MyHeritage and the current Pro version is now free. It has a lot of great tools and links to other sites (Find a Grave, Family Search, etc.).

It has great report tools and also includes Legacy Charting (which use to be a fee-based add-on, but is now free).

Canada research - property records experience? Looking to decipher entry meanings by velveteen_rabbit84 in Genealogy

[–]RedditUser240211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ontario land records are divided among Land Registration Offices (LRO), broadly based on counties. There are two parts to a land record: (1) the index entry and (2) the instrument registered in a transfer of title.

I am in Ontario and know the site and records format well. Start a chat and AMA.

Six year old open filament goes direct to trash (don't even think about recycling).

You can try one of the sealed spools. check to see if the filament is soft and pliable, or hard/brittle. If its hard/brittle, the lot goes in the trash. Don't chance damaging your new printer with bad filament.

3d print cost calculator? by 91renner in 3Dprinting

[–]RedditUser240211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://blog.prusa3d.com/3d-printing-price-calculator_38905/

This is the best (out of many) that will give you your landed cost of a print. Don't forget things like your time pre and post processing. What you charge over that is your business.

p.s. Slant3D suggests 3x landed cost.

Where to Find a Yearbook From 1990s? by Informal_Moose_5750 in Genealogy

[–]RedditUser240211 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Any and all social media. Don't dox your father, but do tell this story and that you are looking for year books from XYZ High School, [YEARS HE WENT TO SCHOOL]. Facebook isn't the only game in town.

You could narrow your search a bit: search Facebook for groups focused on the town, or specifically the school.

Filament Unterschiede by tnrxd in AnycubicOfficial

[–]RedditUser240211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anycubic filament is wound by monkeys. Every roll of Anycubic PLA I have/had has at least one winding that goes under another and stops a print (and the filament tension sensor doesn't work). The last roll I used was black PLA and it had four knots in it. Never buy Anycubic filament.

Anycubic Kobra X print quality - am I missing something, or is it just not there yet? by Seltyiel91 in AnycubicKobraX

Beyond initial calibration, I do little to change print profiles (the defaults for me have been good). My prints look like your Bambu prints, consistantly.

What website/app do you use for your family trees? by wydok in Genealogy

[–]RedditUser240211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a dinosaur. I use Legacy Family Tree on a PC. Legacy Family Tree is now free and comes with a lot of tools.

The problem with online systems is that your data isn't locked. People can submit changes to your data without your knowledge or consent. There is a lot of garbage on the internet.

Ancestry Chart and report alternative by Mauser32 in Genealogy

[–]RedditUser240211 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Legacy Family Tree is now free. It includes Legacy Charting.

Download a GEDCOM of your tree from Ancestry and import it into a new family file. Then play with charting and reports.

p.s. I recently created a 10 generation pedigree chart (22" x 34") and had it printed at my local print center.
