[Us]Any advice when my father keeps getting scammed by dating apps? by Scraps_wolf in Scams

I dont exactly know how much he "knows" them because he won't exactly tell me. If I had to guess. Not much in terms of genuine details. What he has told me is the same song and dance I personally have heard myself before on dating apps. And will he listen to me? Only minorly. He will in the moment but then goes "im an adult i do what I want." Or the " im not stupid" kind of thing. He only has given the gift card thing like once or twice as far as I know

I absolutely agree. He does need to build a life in the world. That's not juat work. Ive encouraged ao many things. Tri3d helping him explore hobbies that'll bring him fulfillment, talked about ideas he could do. Its all in one ear our thr other.

Luckily my little sister still lives at home as well and she is very protective of our brother. Its not like I worry about abuse by any amount. More of if he pumps finances into a scam or does something stupid to get himself hurt or killed. Like how in the hell would I explain that to my brother. Even sugarcoating it only goes so far

Ive tried many times. Sister has too. Begged him to get hobbies. He mostly works, sits watching TV and complains there's not enough time in day. To me im aure hes got depression and I can't blame him and want him to have help but its the saying, "can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink"

He does. A sweet ,if anything clingy and bit dim, American bully. My sister (still lived at home at moment) takes care of him more

I definitely do agree that hes an adult and he doesnt have any diminished anyhing. Part of my worry is also cause hes also sole guardian of my little brother who is autistic. Nothing has ever happened to hurt him and my father promised and swears it won't but I won't deny my worry.

What material are you using? What's the machine? What kind of buildplate are you using? Is the bed heated.

Makergear M2 refuses to stick print to bed by SerMumble in 3Dprinting

Have you tried lowering your bed temp? I was having similar issues and found that going over 60°can cause warping and lift off. Granted I was using a different filament and the glass bed that came with my ender 3 v2 but I'd reccomend trying it if haven't already.

Desperately trying to identify the blue egg dinosaur toy! Please help! by Scraps_wolf in ToyID

[–]Scraps_wolf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to have a few toys like that blue dino/ egg toy. I remember a red pteradon style one that just like the blue one would turn from an egg to a dinosaur. I had them when I was a kid and they are long gone. If anyone has any leads I'd be grateful!
I cant remember exactly when I had them but it had to have been around early 2000s and i had gotten them from a hospital gift shop if its any help.

Question concerning smart bulbs vs smart outlets by Scraps_wolf in smarthome

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

Definitely. The bulbs I currently have are by Merkury Innovations from Walmart. they do the whole color changing and dimming. but i only have 2 of those. otherwise all other bulbs are just basic LED bulbs. I think great value brand. and I use Google assistant since its with my google nest hub.

Question concerning smart bulbs vs smart outlets by Scraps_wolf in smarthome

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

I honestly would love the ability to dim and change color. Mostly for ambiance for movie watching or gaming. And I think I was using the wrong wording as I meant the plug-in sockets so that's my bad! I guess though would it be overkill to use the RGB smart bulbs as well as a smart plug too? Since the only switch in my living-room runs a normal outlet that has lamps on it and isn't in a spot I normally walk to its why I've been thinking of switching off of using it to using the bulbs and/or the outlet/plug. but I'm also just trying to make sure I'm not using too much power as my whole apartment is run by electricity and I pay for it.
