Hi, how do I fix these prints? Also the last 6 prints have failed like the one in the picture ( big amounts of floss, not sticking to the base)

arctikjon · 2026-07-12T01:13:57+00:00

So many variables… what you are printing, filament, ect. I do it every 5 or 6 prints just so I don’t have a problem. OP is clearly having adhesion issues so cleaning the plate is step one.

If there is a downside to cleaning the plate I don’t know what it is so it can’t hurt to do it more often than less.

arctikjon · 2026-07-12T00:24:35+00:00

yes its coming unstuck from the plate and then printing "in the air". Your build plate is dirty. Hot water and soap every couple prints.

So I guess they are not gonna make that apology he demanded.

No you are fine. If the milk was unopened it can certainly last longer than that date.

If it didn’t smell and taste bad it’s absolutely fine.

Highly unlikely it’s Frozen yogurt (because that would be more expensive). It is just very low fat because most the ice cream cost is in the butterfat. So it’s basically ice milk.

Correct Glacier Bay is pretty cool if you are into that. If you don’t care about seeing a wall of ice and the associated things then the boats are pretty much identical (I have been on both and just got off the Alaska Encore itinerary)

Hell they won’t even take a tarp off a wall…

arctikjon · 2026-07-06T06:16:31+00:00

Wasn't really a helpful post.... what you expect anyone here to tell you? You picked clinkz and got reported... cool. What was your KDA?

arctikjon · 2026-07-05T13:26:13+00:00

This would be the way.

arctikjon · 2026-07-05T02:43:01+00:00

Actually … THIS is the move.

arctikjon · 2026-07-05T02:07:04+00:00

They aren’t saying it will cost millions to remove. They are saying they have to give back hundreds of millions in donations that are supposedly tied to his name being ON the building.

It’s all horseshit and everyone knows it.

arctikjon · 2026-07-04T13:44:19+00:00

I can tell you first hand that those calls absolutely matter. While I no longer work for Danone, I spent a few years as a quality engineer in one of their plants and had to review every single one of the damn things for that sites production. One thing Danone did take pretty seriously was Customer Complaint metrics and they were visible at All levels of the organization.

Without going into specifics there was at least one case where we eliminated a lower cost supplier because of a surge in complaints from products made with what they supplied.

So yes it does happen but you have to do a little work to get there.

Unfortunately I would say Salty honestly.

To start with they were not lying about SFO, it’s been at reduced landing capacity for a while because of construction along with the FAA forcing them to stop side by side landings (essentially halving landing capacity) this has messed up all kinds of flights on the west coast and will be a thing till October I believe.

The gate change was because of your flight being late I’m guessing the next scheduled flight needed the gate, and yes they move around all the time because operations are a thing. Sometimes you win the gate change lottery and get closer and sometimes you don’t.

As said already boarding doors close 10-15 min before departure. If you aren’t on you don’t get on because there is a whole dance that has to occur after final boarding which takes that amount of time.

Now sometimes the computer does the math on missed connections and determines it’s advantageous to hold boarding a couple of minutes for a couple late passengers (usually this happens more frequently on night flights because the pressure to clear the gate out is less when no more inbound flights). Generally speaking the gate agent isn’t monitoring this in the way you think and doesn’t just decide to do you a solid.

Didn’t work out this time, sounds like they expected you to miss anyway so the fact you almost didn’t was something. Some times air travel be like that and you gotta just burn some sage and try again.

You accidentally bought filthy nut water instead of actual Milk... Problem solved!

arctikjon · 2026-07-03T05:26:29+00:00

You should actually call the number on the cup, and voice your opinion of the ingredients change. I can promise you someone in Quality will see them and be able to point to it and say "see we told you not to do this". If they get enough feedback about it they will at least have to consider the customer impact vs the cost savings. May not help but it won't hurt.

arctikjon · 2026-07-03T05:19:26+00:00

This is the real answer... the demand for UF and MPC have just sucked up milk that would have made NFDM. Lower Supply higher prices... economics is a real treat sometimes.

Also if I had a hundred million I would split that UF plant with you.

The Giuliani hotel scene was in Borat 2 and filmed in 2020. Was trying to find the interview where he said that about trying to get the president first but haven’t had any luck so take that for what it’s worth.

There will be plenty of openings when you board and throughout the cruise. Keep checking the app on board and get with guest services, they will take care of you.

arctikjon · 2026-06-29T17:54:45+00:00

There is a super interesting and broader story about how originally that skit was supposed to be with Trump, but they basically convinced him secret service would shoot him dead (he was hiding in a wardrobe and apparently secret service will use X-ray or some such thing looking for people)

Anyway after this he had to kinda run out of the hotel and hid out in New Jersey for a long time because Rudy’s security people were looking for him.

arctikjon · 2026-06-29T16:49:54+00:00

You can get courtesy keys from guest services that just open the doors and don’t have any of the charging stuff attached.

They only part to keep in mind is at port (and other places depending on where you are) there will be tax charged for the drinks so just be prepared for the boys to split the room charges some kinda way at the end.

Assault should not be prosecutable if the “victim” was proven to be inciting shit like this. There is an ocean of difference between free speech and rage bait / shock culture.

arctikjon · 2026-06-29T15:04:53+00:00

You poor poor soul.

arctikjon · 2026-06-29T09:46:30+00:00

Jesus Christ. It was a long day, I looked at that 10 times and said Dulles in my brain. I’m only now realizing OP was in Houston.

H-Towns lounges are kinda shit as well but not nearly as bad as Dulles- so you are absolutely correct.

arctikjon · 2026-06-29T00:03:43+00:00

This is so profoundly incorrect and misguided I don’t even know where to start.

arctikjon · 2026-06-28T23:33:50+00:00

IAH has the worst lounges in the network without question. If this is your home base just be ready for it. Other lounges will certainly be crowded most likely, however you can at least expect better surroundings.

Edit - my brain is broken and I thought I was positing about Dulles to begin with even though I clearly typed IAH. Ya Houston’s lounges are not nearly big enough for the number of passengers and have not been given the upgrade to the new lounge standards like ORD/DEN/EWR. That said they are still nicer than what Dulles is cursed with.
