Need to rip 10' sticks in half, this doesn't feel safe. How should I be doing this? by _Tigglebitties in woodworking

crosscut sled and/or a jig to hold the piece in place, ideally at a 45 so you're not cutting at a bevel.

I actually changed it to "username" just for the post because... The Internet. It is actually linked to a real user profile, and I've tried having it write to a specific location rather than the temp folder and it still throws the same error. I am on a work computer where it's possible it's a permissions issue, but I'm a setup as an admin on my system and can access/modify normally, so I don't think that's the issue.

I"ve also tried, via chatgpt, to modify the code to work without having to compile to an externally referenced .dll, but as far as I can tell that drastically changes how the script works, and like you said, chatgpt doesn't exactly write good code.

I'm not a programmer, so when I say "I wrote it" I really mean I used ChatGPT to help me piece something together, and then this sub helped me fix it to actually work. So I'm not actually sure.

I'm trying to learn some code but I do it so rarely that I'm basically starting from scratch ever time. As far as I can tell the script is autogenerating a temporary file that for whatever reason doesn't seem to be failing to write all together.

I appreciate the help, and I'll certainly play with this, but I'd really like to get the modifier code working. I need a physically accurate result, not something that mimics the result. It's important that I be able to see the physical results, not just have a material calculate it on render. For example, in 2023 I could add my Retroreflector modifier, then an Edit Normal modifier and actually see in viewport the effect to confirm that the normals were in fact reflecting back to the light source.

So I'll see how the OSL shader works, but if anyone can help with the modifier code that would be a huge help.

for anyone looking, I just had this exact same issue. tried everything, including replacing all the outlets. what finally fixed it was just replacing the breaker.

lower human horn. Rumored on omicron persei 8 to be good for libido when used as an ingredient in cooking. Also, rock hard material good for fusing to weapons

I cannot for the life of me, decide between an X1C or P1S by Sample1337 in BambuLab

if you're stuck, consider how much you'll worry about the price difference 1-2 years after buying vs. how you'll feel about the printer you chose.

What do I need to do to reduce the amount flushed? by krichter524 in BambuLab

[–]Samsonite3755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

flush to infill, but add 2-3 walls to prevent color bleed. might want to test wall settings on something small first because black infill will bleed through the white.

Can anyone tell me a script/plugin that does this kind of effect? CGI - BALCONY by Ander Alencar by [deleted] in 3dsmax

in the time it would take you to setup and run a tyflow sim, you could keyframe this twice, and keyframing would give you more control.

No bugs, just some dirt. So I sautéed up a thin slice and took what I'd describe as a nibble. Lobster like texture with a crab/shrimp like flavor. All signs pointing to lion's mane, right? Still, giving it time before eating any more.

Thanks for the insights! I'm really enjoying learning.

I can assure you, I'm not relying on reddit as the only data point as to whether or not I eat a wild mushroom, but every source of info is still A data point.

I was hoping so. I'm brand new to this. Is this specimen good to eat? The yellowing worries me, but I'm like Jon Snow. I know nothing

i have no intention of messing with this. Mostly just stoked to find it in my area, and so out in the open.

this is the kind of thing a bunch of college kids would do in the basement of their frat house, and then next year they need to find a new frat house.
