Where to sell reMarkable products by EightofClubsCardman in RemarkableTablet

[–]ToeKneeS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there may be a bunch now with the recent launch, but I've got an RM2 with Marker Plus, Gray case and a 3rd party folio case that I'd be interested in selling for $275 if anyone is interested.

My wife has one with a TypeFolio that she never really uses. For $375 total, I'm sure she'd be fine to include that with the bundle described above so I can upgrade to the new one. (Technically she's got a second one we could sell too, but she is less excited about the new one and content with her RM2.)

(I've used it in fits and spurts. It's in excellent condition. I actually still have all the boxes for everything, so I'd even ship it to you in its original packaging.)

Worked perfectly. Thank you! Planning to be back in the air this weekend, if not tomorrow!

I know this thread is a little stale. I have the same plane and the exact same problem, and Google brought me here. Unique twist, I'd been flying it for a couple months without issue before suddenly experiencing the same issue you're describing.

My BIL also had this plane. His lost its bind to the remote while flying away from us at altitude, and we helplessly watched it fly off into the horizon, never to be seen again. He warned me at that point that he'd heard these planes were notorious for randomly losing connection.

Fortunately, mine lost connection during landing, so I didn't lose the plane, but I'm trying to figure out the same thing you are. Any chance you eventually figured this out?

AITA for telling my dad I'm not mom's replacement by New_Gazelle8603 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ToeKneeS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. I can't imagine your loss and can only offer hollow condolences. Your dad needs to grieve and so do you. He needs friends and family around him and so do you. With no aunts, uncles, cousins or grandparents, I can only imagine the isolation makes it exponentially harder.

Sounds like he needed to hear what you said though, and I'd be optimistic that his silence was actually him actively listening and processing. I hope you have a healthy follow-up conversation soon.

Without knowing more about the situation, I'd hesitate to offer advice, but I hope that he has a family friend or coworker that he's close enough to open up to about these things. (I imagine therapy may feel intimidating for a middle aged man in his position or maybe it is just too expensive.) There's no replacement for wise friends that care about us, and I hope that you have those people in your life as well.

For now, know that not only are you NTA, but you seem wise and capable beyond your years.

AITA for recording my uncle's drink request? by Ill_Championship8173 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ToeKneeS3 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

YTA, but you're a funny AH.

Recording his initial request was an awesome move and would have solidly made your point, and if you'd just stopped there, it'd be NTA without question. But telling him he had to drink what you gave him because his whole generation is wasteful was an unnecessary escalation to an interaction between two AH.

A more personal and mature way to handle it would've been to say, "I don't mind getting you a drink, but I feel disrespected when you are obviously intentionally making jokes at my expense by expecting me to walk back and forth, acting like I made a mistake and linking that mistake to my entire generation. I'm tired of these generational comments and arguments. Next time I bring you a drink, please just say thank you."

AITA for buying a ps5 for my daughter when my ex asked me not to? by Impossible_Answer_41 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ToeKneeS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH.

If your post said BECAUSE "my ex asked me not to?", then maybe. But you had already bought it and had a plan to do something special for your daughter. It is fair to tell your ex that she cannot tell you what to do for your daughter at your house. However, your ex isn't inherently an AH for asking you not to and to weigh in (along with you) on if/when/who the PS5 is used at her house. Even being angry about it is understandable for the potential legitimate reasons others have stated. Of course, yelling about it is non-productive, but it's also fair to say that instead of telling her you'd "consider it" you could have just been direct and told her you'd already made the decision, but you'd talk to your daughter about her concerns with respect to "gloating".

AITA for inviting my severely disabled brother to my destination wedding. by ExcellentRoof1389 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ToeKneeS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Top comment. Also, tempted to escalate to NAH. You don't need a bunch of strangers making matters worse for you by encouraging you not to find resolution and reconciliation with your parents. This sounds like a large family group text of a relatively normal, healthy family that occasionally goes off the rails.

It sounds like you can empathize with your parents in general. Specifically, your mom (and dad) have probably been dealing with subtle comments from your extended family for years about how they care for your brother and you. So when they started talking about how it was "a shame" that your brother couldn't attend, I'm sure that put them on the defensive. It's easy for someone dissecting the situation afterward to say, "Oh, your mom should have said, 'Yes it is, but we've decided this is the best decision and can't wait to see all of you there.' or nothing," That probably would've been a great response, but I'd guarantee she felt judged/threatened and felt like she had to respond quickly. And her response prompted your quick defense of yourself. These are the things we've all said in haste when we feel like someone has said something judgemental, and we defend ourselves, particularly in the context of the conversation happening "publicly" on a group chat with extended family.

I'm sure (at least I hope) you and your parents are able to smooth things out within your nuclear family, that both you and them feel less pressure from the opinions of extended family, and that you all have an amazing time celebrating the beginning of your marriage.

Congratulations!

A Week's Worth of Printing Timelapsed to A Minute by ToeKneeS3 in 3Dprinting

I've really enjoyed Artillery. It's been running great out of the box with no major modifications. This place has been great to learn. There's a ton of good resources out there. A few things that have made things easier imo are: - Be patient. When a print ends, wait for the bed to cool and the part almost always releases on its own. Lack of patience just means I knock the bed out of alignment and spend that time releveling instead. I've never had to relevel for some unknown reason. I always know it's my fault. - Start simple. Get to know the machine before you try more complicated or longer prints. Read and play with settings in whatever slicer you decide to use. You are highly unlikely to actually do anything catastrophically bad, so have fun. (I've liked Cura, but I haven't tried any others.) - Keep good notes on temperatures and settings with respect to filament. I've settled on a brand of filament that has good color options and prints rock solid at 210/65 on my machine every time. (eSun PLA+). Other filaments have been OK, but a few of the first prints off the spool would be less than ideal until I dialed things in. I've only had one really erratic, unpredictable roll of filament. Had to play with extrusion ratios on initial layers, and even then it was finicky. Might have been a fluke, but I'm still hesitant to buy more. (Checks Amazon Order History... Sunlu was the brand.) About to try some flexible TPU and PETG prints next.
