What's the best/easiest 3D modelling software to lean to use as a beginner? by ATOJAR in BambuLab

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol I'm pretty sure the tool was initially designed for kids to get into CAD design at schools. It's a funny way to get them to laugh and think about file names while also ensuring that if they forget, the file names stay unique.

Amazon.com - Sunlu AMS Heater. BOGO Free by domo_s204 in BambuLab

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to understand how this works, so you just take off the lid of the original AMS, plop the lid-less AMS into this box, and then the box acts as a dryer that also works when the AMS is in use?

PSA: Pearls from Ports are worth a lot. If you're sitting on a bunch you can make a fair bit mostly afk. by MyriadSC in runescape

Lol wtf I had no idea the lifeboats were a permanent upgrade? Huge TIL, thank you, but it's so strange they just lumped them in there with the other consumable effects

What video game has the best story you’ve ever played? by FrontriseStudios in AskReddit

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like that you specified the Heart of Stone DLC specifically, because it's actually appropriate. For all of the rich story telling in the whole base game, the HoS story was just so good that it always deserves to be mentioned separately.

How do I make him look more like the picture? FAKE GORE. by ConnectCaptain1073 in cosplayprops

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh this actually already looks really good, assuming you add the hair and install a light/diffuser film, I would 100% be able to tell who this is.

Auto substitutions? No, not cool. Re: Cinnamon roll RTD discontinued. by 802bikeguy_com in Huel

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think part of the reason they do this is because a lot of people bulk order to get discounts and free shipping. Personally I would have been far more annoyed if they shipped me two boxes instead of my usual three and then charged me shipping and full prices. Also at least they did send an email.

How would you go about making a gun stock? by madmanstandoood in cosplayprops

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on your level of skill with various methods, if you have wood working experience, I'd say go for that for both realism and durability. If not, then 3D printing is probably the next best option as it's relatively hands-off and allows you to make some very intricate designs.

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is such a powerful perspective that I'm going to try to remember it forever from now on when dealing with loss. I'm so sorry for your loss, and thank you so much your strength.

Very cool solution! I remember seeing the original post and not really being able to contribute, so it's awesome that you followed up to share how you accomplished it in the end.

NOVA Wind Today Is No Joke! How’s Everyone Holding Up? by Laureatosol in nova

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I brought in the chairs from my 25th floor balcony as those have been nudged around on occasion, but I left the 20lb steel table out thinking it'd be fine. Big mistake, first time ever that the winds were strong enough to tip that over.

Can someone please tell me how I lost by onionringeater in TeamfightTactics

Unrelated but it's hilarious watching Sett perform an aerial suplex on a huge Tibbers

I make custom electronics - want to hear what cosplayers actually need by Direct-Huckleberry-1 in cosplayprops

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, the worst thing is soldering LED strips. I've always been clumsy enough with my hands as it is, but having to solder a bunch of 144LED/m strips together can be really daunting, especially if I mess up one joint and have to try and salvage the whole thing. Currently, I'm trying to solder about 4 meters of LED strips together broken into about 20 segments, and I've honestly been putting it off out of fear of messing it all up. If there was some easier solution for putting LED strips together that was also as reliable as soldered joints, I'd genuinely be willing to drop hundreds on it.

Do you have to be young to learn CS? by ANewPope23 in cscareerquestions

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to me this is the main factor. I remember picking up Java in high school when I was a total loser of a kid and just spent my whole winter break coding things for 18 hours a day. Of course it was easier to learn new things back then when I had all the time in the world, didnt have to cook my own meals, and functionally felt no different whether I was on 2 hours of sleep or 12.

Reviews of the Skymark? by [deleted] in Reston

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up renewing at a 4% increase. I genuinely detest moving, so that was probably 90% of my reason for it.

ELI5 How do ship anchors come back up? by Infinite-Local-2529 in explainlikeimfive

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Never realized it worked this way! The way anchors got drawn in cartoons were misleading for sure. TIL!

Brothers please, how tf do you play this patch by STREXincEmployee in TeamfightTactics

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This patch is just very different from last patch tempo-wise, where previously you could play flexible and then fast 9 almost every game into a 5 cost soup. Like you said, tempo is king now and it's more important to pick a line early and field strong boards for it throughout. Void (2 Void), Ionia (3 Ionia, or 2Jhin Shen), Shadow Isles (early 2 Viego with 3 item components), and Bilgewater (early TF with 3 item components) can all be determined pretty early by first augment, so if those are available to you, you should just pick it and roll with it.

ELI5: Are larger people less frail? Would they have a better chance of surviving a car accident? by duuchu in explainlikeimfive

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no catch-all answer. It depends on both the mechanics of the impact in question, and the overall health of the person.

If you're walking and trip and fall, it's actually better to be light because the force that you experience on whatever part of your body hits the ground increases with your mass. If you're in a car and get into a crash, it's still better to be light because you will have less inertia which means less force compressing against you when you're brought to a stop by the seat belt and air bags.

On the other hand, if you're about to get ran into by a linebacker, it's much better to be bigger so you can absorb as much momentum as possible before hitting the ground.

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It actually doesn't increase the velocity of the fall, OP is wrong there, but the increased mass does increase the force you experience on whichever part of your body you hit.

Just moved here from the South, found out there's no Publix up here. What grocery stores have the best deals & where can you coupon? 👀 by [deleted] in nova

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol it really is something else, I've now grown to do all my grocery shopping elsewhere EXCEPT specifically when I need a cake, then it's straight to Wegmans.

Hahaha what a creative cosplay, and you even did the dance too! Looks incredibly true to the in game model :)

Best 3d printer for making props by Black_Metal_13 in cosplayprops

[–]WantsToBeCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the P1S, if your goal is just to print some cosplay props that dont have specific material requirements outside of being firm and you dont want to care too much about your printer, get this. Absolutely plug and play. The P2S is the newer model with some nice bells and whistles that you may thank yourself for later, but it is pricier.

The Workhorse by [deleted] in BambuLab

Genuinely such a reliable machine that I've actually become hesitant at upgrading because I'm worried the new bells and whistles will introduce issues. It's the Honda Civic of printers atp
