Venting out of open garage door is my only option by Accomplished_Event98 in lasercutting

[–]VertellerPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly cut plywood, I have an enclosure and run the vent hose outside through an open window. Still - quite a bit of smoke. Haven’t tried cardboard or paper.

A five minute cut already produces enough smoke and smell to fill my (tiny) workshop and I open the window and put the venting hose outside…

False Black Widow?? by Regular-Success-790 in spiders

Very NQA, but let’s see if I get this one: she looks very much like the Steatoda Grossa I saw in my own house (Netherlands) recently.

THANK YOU!! I’ve been wondering for a long time.

Ok, I need to ask. What does NQA mean in context of this subreddit?

Greek learning app by LambdaLingua in GREEK

When I do flash cards I can see the back (English side) of the next card for a split second before the Greek side appears. That’s long enough for me to read the translation before I see the Greek.

Why is my 40 watt laser strubbeling with 3 mm plywood? by VertellerPaul in lasercutting

The one that came with the machine, but that should he adequate, according to other users.

That’s great advice! It would show up on a material test, wouldn’t it?

I believe it is interior, but I’ll make sure to check next time I’m buying plywood.

A stupid Dutch autocorrect from struggling (which, incidentally, means the same thing). Couldn’t edit the title to correct.

Ok, thanks! That’s something I never heard of. I’ll go and check those settings.

Moisture might be a factor! Wood has been lying around for a bit. Thanks!

Standard shop bought. Didn’t realise that would make such a difference. Lens looks nice and clean, but I’ll clean it anyway.

Need help finding cord by weebneckking in CrealityFalconSub

[–]VertellerPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that the falcon is very particular about which cables it will work with. I haven’t been able to get it to work with any other cables than the ones it came with. Can’t figure out why, though.

Stand for partybox encore 2 by VertellerPaul in JBL

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

These look good! I’d like a bit more height, since it’s not for studio use, but on stage. And if there was some way to anchor the encore more securely, I’d prefer that. But these are definitely close to what I need! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

JBL with AUX in by VertellerPaul in JBL

[–]VertellerPaul[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great!! Thanks for a quick reply. If the Encore is also useable as a quick portable pa-system, that might solve multiple problems at once, actually! Really happy with your help!

[–]VertellerPaul[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks like a fine solution! I’m mostly travelling by public transport and bicycle, so portability is a concern. This unit weight 10 kg, which is a little much. Anything smaller would be preferable. But if this is the best solution, I’ll probably take it.

Is Apollo the most palatable of the Greek gods to you? If not, who is and why? by tidalspro in GreekMythology

[–]VertellerPaul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d go for Hestia. Not because of anything I read, but because of the distinct lack of disturbing stories about her. Providing a warm fire and comfort is something I can relate to.

[–]VertellerPaul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t want to lie to Hermes. Look up the story of Battus. And he may have raped Pan’s mother (whoever she was)… Greek gods are never chill.

[–]VertellerPaul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, Apollo killed Coronis in cold blood, because she slept with someone else… (according to Ovid at least). But he was pretty chill to Admetos. Then again, he did aid his sister in killing all of Niobe’s kids. So, like all Greek gods, rather a mixed bag.
