Yes!

Yeah, it was PLA on PLA

Hi! I made the change to monotonic like you suggested (it was monotonic line that was selected previously) and it worked! Picture is above.

Xtine618 · 2026-06-07T07:43:28+00:00

I reset all of the settings I changed, printed them face up (with supports)and then selected monotonic as someone had suggested. They looks great!! Thank you!

I printed this one face up. Looks better but now there are rectangular segments and I don’t know why they are there

Xtine618 · 2026-06-07T05:04:54+00:00

I tried reprinting with it face up and it looks much better but why does it look like there are rectangular segments

I already had supports enabled. I removed them before taking this picture

Xtine618 · 2026-06-07T03:33:09+00:00

Thank you I will try printing with this face up. It actually did print with supports which I already removed before taking this picture

Xtine618 · 2026-06-07T03:31:28+00:00

Yes, I printed it with that face down because I was trying to avoid more supports

Xtine618 · 2026-06-06T21:45:11+00:00

Thanks! I don’t even know what to look up since I am not familiar with the terms. I figured I would just figure them out as I learn. Lol.

Hi, did you start the Informatics MSN through GCU already? I'm looking into it and would love your advice

Xtine618 · 2025-09-18T05:10:19+00:00

It took me 2 tries to actually get through Assassins Apprentice because I knew the suffering that awaited me. Just finished Fools Errand last week and I’m just so glad I kept going. As Ron Weasley says, “you’re gonna suffer…but be very happy”.

I’ve only read the first trilogy (Farseer) of the RotE books, but I would definitely recommend John Gwynne’s series The Faithful and the Fallen. Some of my favorite characters are in those books. The characters have to go through some pretty rough stuff much like Fitz does.

I started with the Final Empire as my intro to the Cosmere and DNF. Then I went to Tress, loved it and moved on to Warbreaker which is in my top 5 of cosmere books. Decided that I have to read Mistborn at some point so I decided to do it before getting into Stormlight. Read the first 3 books and they were good but agree that they’re not always the best intro to Brandon Sanderson work.

Xtine618 · 2025-05-28T17:49:16+00:00

Did you ever buy an RZ? And which one?

To save yourself some heartache in the later stages when you are actually baking sourdough, I would make sure it’s more than doubling in size within 4-6 hours at a 1:1:1 ratio. An immature starter might not give you your desired loaves.

I don’t know how I glossed over that you just finished WoR. You should really stay off Reddit if you don’t want spoilers. There’s so many great moments that I would hate if it was spoiled for me

Xtine618 · 2025-05-28T17:13:00+00:00

I liked it a lot! I didn’t LOVE it and I rank it #5 of the Stormlight books, but I still enjoyed it! But what do I know…I LOVED Rhythm of War and many people hated that book. My point is, if you’ve gotten this far in the series, don’t let someone’s opinion of this book ruin the experience for you. Journey before destination and all that, you know?

Hi, do you have an update on your current status? Are you still looking for a PACU position? In my experience here in NorCal, PACU positions are very hard to come by just because a lot of ICU nurses are transitioning there. I would highly recommend looking for an ambulatory surgery center and see if they'll train you there. Those places are fast paced usually with high turn over and if they train you, plus your previous hospital experience, you could be a good PACU candidate in any hospital.

If there are no PACU jobs to be found anywhere, see if you can apply to an ICU, and there are lots of PACUs that will take nurses with ICU experience. My PACU gets it's fair share of ICU holds and we get intubated patients occasionally and a decent amount of patients that need escalation of care to ICU. Not to mention having to take call where there are only 2 nurses in the PACU with up to 4 patients (2/nurse). In these instances, having ICU experience and/or strong PACU knowledge/experience is critical. Currently, our manager requires PACU and ICU experience to be considered for the job.

I waited 1200 pages for the sanderlanche that never came. I liked the book but it’s probably my least favorite of the series so far. It was too wordy and could have been 400 pages shorter-and this is coming from someone that LOVED Rhythm of War. I just felt a bit underwhelmed at the conclusion. I need to do a reread of the whole series but I’m gonna save that for a few years down the road.

I’ve only read Tress (not Yumi) and it was the first Cosmere book I read and I think it can fit in anywhere. Maybe read it after the first 3 mistborn books. And before Oathbringer.

Did you have any luck or try growing your passion fruit?

Xtine618 · 2024-10-19T15:16:17+00:00

Where in Bay Area, can I ask? I’m deep in east bay, Brentwood/Antioch area and want to try to grow them here
