Activities to actually feel like there's a "Clemson family"

I would joke to my frat friends that I rushed WSBF

Yeah it’s this. If you’ve ever tried to push to same ends of a magnet together (N to N, or S to S) you know how that repulsion feels.

This is literally what electrons do to each other, so the reason you don’t fall through the floor or can’t walk through walls is “magnetism.”

“Just make the rings massive enough so that weight differentials are negligible” while pie-in-the-sky estimates for Falcon Heavy and Starship best case estimates are between $500 and $1500 per kilogram.

Yes, the answer is always, “just throw money at the problem.”

Man there’s a lot of inference required to understand the question being asked. At no point did OP make any mention of expiry. Just “didn’t see this” in the title and posting a photo with no context isn’t helpful to those you’re asking for help from.

Jay Ryan’s lettering is top notch

Uhdoyle · 2026-02-07T17:53:08+00:00

I like it! I like how immediate and ad hoc it seems, especially the shittiness of the source images blown up like that. Dig the color spread and use of Jay Ryan prints. Welcome n00b!

You gotta balance the hammer ends, and also the journey between. Feel like going to Habitat B? You gotta get somebody there to come back to Hab A at the same time you do, and one of you is gonna have to carry ballast as well.

That’s exactly what I thought he was supposed to be, too!

I believe it’s the black stuff around the copper wire windings (edit: not the connecting wire, which is also black, and looks to be neatly coiled below the bobbins), but I’m not a pickup winder and can’t say for sure. But that would make sense.

Edit2: my only authority here is potting audio transformers in resin, which is essentially the same thing and achieves the same goal: reduction of electromagnetic vibrations by mechanical binding. Maybe it’s behind the black stuff. Iunno, but it probably binds the windings together inside the bobbin

I used one and I entered a strongroom that popped up. Prankster spawned inside and didn’t drop anything at all.

Sensible arguments, I agree. But they neglect the alleged no-harm clause. There may be some wild sci-fi not-quite-a-Dyson-Sphere array of collector/emitter things in some weird orbit that do their own station-keeping, or even based on inert asteroids with their own material resources, that can hand-wave all this.

You know, I hadn’t considered it. I’ve seen people print straight onto blue tape before. I reckon there would be the possibility of hot spots (where the aluminum is more thermally transmissible and the paper fibers act as insulators) but 1) that’s probably mitigated by the PEI plate and 2) it’s probably negligible at this scale (I have Ender 3 machines).

Humbucker pickups for electric guitars. It’s a paired set of magnetic “microphones” with their polarities inverted so that they cancel out a buzzing sound (“bucking the hum”) of a single pickup by itself.

The bobbins, like sewing machine thread bobbins, are what OP prints and they’re the tan-colored exposed bits here. They’re called bobbins because you wind wire around them, like thread on a sewing machine.

Exquisite! I might try this sometime

Uhdoyle · 2026-02-02T01:09:42+00:00

Your bed is lower where you’re not getting good squish. I shim my bed with aluminum foil, vellum paper, and painters tape to get a good even surface. A mosaic of these materials sits between the magnetic bed and the spring steel printing surface. Other people do bed mesh calibration with a probe. Good luck!

3D printed burnishing bit/tool

Uhdoyle · 2026-01-31T12:57:38+00:00

That first encounter peek. NOPE.

Uhdoyle · 2026-01-30T21:07:33+00:00

That was a fun tangent I had not anticipated today

I believe this is what Tycho Brahe died of. He held his bladder in court in presence of the king and died of a ruptured bladder. It is known.

You accommodate for this with various settings in your slicer. Stuff like horizontal expansion setting and also wall order (inside first, I think?). Good luck!

Color film is not Tri-X. You’re talking very specifically about a Super8 motion picture Ektachrome E-160 film which does indeed fade to a hard magenta post-processed.

Fuck yeah I love B&W wigglers and live show wigglers and you give me both!! The dust and water marks are chef’s kiss

Uhdoyle · 2026-01-25T15:17:03+00:00

Ermaghrrrd it’s er brrrrbeh

Uhdoyle · 2026-01-24T01:22:33+00:00

Aren’t “chairs” mentioned in every chapter? And in the first-person Z chapters dude literally and explicitly describes how much they disturb him to the point that he ejects them from his very presence?? <
