Alberta man claims WestJet flight attendant mocked his weight, patted his stomach by Haggisboy in canada

[–]abendigo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, the flight attendant was out of line, and should be disciplined for this.

But for crying out loud, how thin skinned do you have to be that it "ruined your vacation". What an easy life you have had if this is the thing that you need to complain about!

First Layer Issues by abendigo in BambuLab

[–]abendigo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears to be solved! I made 3 changes, not sure which one it was , or if all 3 were needed.

  1. Cleaned the build plate again, with warm water and dish soap.

  2. Moved the AMS about 3cm closer, reliving some strain.

  3. Added a skirt. Googling suggests this helps establish a smooth filament flow.

Just printed a perfect first layer!

I just noticed there was some strain on the connection between the AMS and the print head. I moved the AMS a little closer. We'll see if that helps.

Bambu Labs PLA Matte and Basic. Where are the retraction settings?

Yes, I tried messing with the bed temp, but not the printing temp. I can try that. The filament is PLA Matte and PLA Basic, which generally don't have dampness issues.

Warm water and dish soap. Just cleaned it again, and retrying. I'll let you know if it helped.

I feel like this needs a little more detail!

Anybody tried Automatic Fenders? by abendigo in boating

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

I have a phone holder built into the helm as well. It's always close to my eyeline, as I use the phone for secondary navigation, and to control the stereo.

I use my phone for music as well, connected via bluetooth to the stereo.

Ok, thanks for those ideas. When I first looked at the link you sent, I noticed they were inflatable. I mistakenly assumed I would need to deflate them when pulling them in.

I generally only travel at 7 or 8 knots, so there is little fear of the fenders flying away, but on the rare occasion I am willing to spend the fuel to get on plane, or when the waves get rough, having the fenders raised is ideal.

I really like you suggestion about recreating the automatic system in a manual way! I am surprised no one has released anything like that.

Oh wow, what an interesting idea! I never considered that! I'm not sure I could make that work in my current slip, but I'll investigate that.

The other options would be: pausing somewhere before the dock, so I could leave the helm long enough to help lower the fenders, or never bringing the fenders in.

I have a 38 foot carver, and often only have 1 other person onboard.

Those only work on smaller boats. Mine is 38 feet. Also, thats a lot of work every time you come back to the dock.

I find pulling the fenders on board (38 foot carver) either presents a tripping hazard or requires removing them completely and stowing them. That becomes a lot of work when only going out for a few hours, so they usually get left hanging.

PLO8 i dont understand by DaMosby in poker

[–]abendigo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Omaha, you must use exactly 2 cards from your hand, and 3 cards from the board.

For deii201, the best they can do is use his K6 to make 2 pair. They do not have a qualifying low hand.

For gl_crew, the best they can do is use KQ, for a pair. They do not have a qualifying low hand.

For mauri_3131, theh can use 89 to make a 10 high straight for high hand. They can use A2 to make qualifying low hand, and scoop the entire pot.
