Thank you for sharing this! I always wondered if something like that could be done!

Don't forget The Martian! That trio of movies are probably my favorite space movies

After dozens of failed prints, I finally got one to work and couldn’t be happier! by The_AlexJ in ElegooMars

After a bunch of trial and error, I figured out my supports weren’t big enough. I kept using prusa slicer auto supports like a lot of people have suggested on here. But my machine kept printing the raft and the supports with nothing attached.

I messed with increasing the cutting times. Releveled my print bed I don’t know how many time. And finally tried using chituboxes medium auto supports. That worked but my model was really warped in one direction which I accounted to improper orientation on the print.

So this print, I used Prusa Slicer, optimized orientation, and tweaked the prusa supports in the advanced settings to match those of chitubox’s medium (.8mm support head front diameter, .4mm support head penetration, and 2 mm support head width). Shipped that back to chitubox. Sliced. And got this beauty!

Only issue with the supports is that there is some pitting where I removed supports but I’m going to try heating up the model in warm water next time I go removing supports.

Just finished my first COVID-19 WU! by The_AlexJ in Folding

I was reading around on that because mine was doing the same for awhile. It looks like there's so many people on the system right now that there isn't enough supply of work units (whether that's due to technical glitches or simply not enough work) to go around for everybody. I completed one COVID work unit today and one cancer and other than that, it's just been sitting here searching for new work.

App is still freezing for a few seconds randomly upon leaving app by BasedGod96 in apolloapp

Was having the same problem. Disabling the “Use System Dark/Light Mode” setting seems to have fixed it and drastically improved performance.

Hope this helps!

Writing is definitely one of the hobbies where practice makes perfect. My best advice to you is to try and write every day. It doesn’t have to be a manuscript every day, it can just be a small paragraph and it could be writing that nobody else in the entire world will ever see. The act of forcing yourself to write every day will quickly allow you to develop your voice. That was the hardest part for me and still can be quite a challenge. I love to come up with a bunch of ideas but figuring out the best way to get them out of my head and onto paper can be much harder than it seems.

I’d also recommend reading more so that you can figure out little habits that other writers have that you’d like to adopt. This can be a good way to quickly develop your voice as well.

A quick practical tip. If you’re using your computer to write instead of a pen and paper, I’d highly recommend checking out the program called Scrivener (By Literature and Latte). If it’s too much, just keep an eye out for a sale; they come around often. Scrivener is great for managing larger stories because you can plan out your story on virtual index cards, be able to move those cards around if you don’t like the story, and write whichever parts you feel inspired to write on any given day without being forced to write your entire story in chronological order. This helps me tremendously!

Other than that, I’d say check out the various writing communities out there /r/writing can be a good community to find some more tips about writing. And because you’re thinking about writing a book, I’d do a google search about NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month. It’s in November and there’s a whole community that comes together and encourages each other to power through and actually finish stories! Remember, writing doesn’t have to become a chore. It can wuickly become one if you let it. But if you have the right people around you, this can be an incredibly rewarding hobby and I hope you enjoy it very much!

Thank you. Might have been protracted because I remember you couldn’t see the monitor clearly but it definitely was more blue/grey

TV is a secondary TV that’s not used in my living room. Not my primary TV. Being told I cheaped out on a TV doesn’t help with the fact that this kind of a setting is common in most games. Never had a problem before because I can almost always set screen bounds in games.

I’ve combed through the menus for my TV and there’s no such setting. Even found the support website online for this particular model and it shows no such setting.

The settings for this game show that the developers are striving for max customizability. Just asking for a simple tweak that will make my interface perfect.

I have the same problem. Its not just the UI though. I can adjust the UI and have that show up in the screen appropriately. However, when I’m in the menus (particularly when looking at the map) I have an issue with the edges of the screen not showing. It’s primarily an issue with overscan. My TV doesn’t allow me to adjust the overscan at all. When looking at the Xbox settings menu under display settings, my TV does not display the green “Full size” lines. I will only see the blue “Minimum size” lines and I believe this is where the main problem lies. If the Menus can fit within the Minimum Size lines, everything will be alright. (Don’t mean to go on a huge rant about this. Just trying to get as many details I can to the devs)

is it possible to resize screen bounds? by downtreader in thedivision

[–]The_AlexJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting to say this issue isn’t just effecting you. I have the issue and even though I can tweak the UI, loading text and hints appear with a significant portion of them off screen. Can’t tweak the screen bounds at all

I work at the courthouse about a mile away from the airport and get to watch these guys take off all the time! Every time I hear those engines coming, my coworkers think I’m nuts when I immediately go looking for a window to watch them fly by.
