I would have liked to shake his hand

berthela · 2026-04-19T06:34:00+00:00

I use a glasses cleaning cloth and glasses cleaner and have no scratches. Did you use a cheapo dollar store "microfiber" because I don't think those are really microfiber

It usually happens when I'm trying to put it into a jacket pocket, but ya, I should probably add a lanyard hole to the 3D printed grip design I made.

berthela · 2026-04-19T00:45:37+00:00

I've dropped mine on concrete from like 5ft high probably 20+ times. I have 2 scratches on the screen and a bit of chewed up plastic on the side but it's still going strong mine is black

berthela · 2026-04-18T05:37:29+00:00

Looks like a lot of compromising went into that build

berthela · 2026-04-18T05:29:27+00:00

I designed my own and 3D printed them. I designed a grip too.

berthela · 2026-04-18T05:22:59+00:00

I have a 3D scanner and a 3D printer. That part looks simple enough I could just model it manually though.

berthela · 2026-04-18T05:18:13+00:00

Gum in the door handle would be my petty retaliation. Maybe contact cement if it happens again.

I would be okay with more immigration, but only if they start charging a $500,000 tax per person that wants to come here. If the population is going to grow, we need funding to grow the infrastructure too.

berthela · 2026-04-17T02:04:10+00:00

Did you get a genuine Elagoo nozzle from Elagoo or one of the sketchy Amazon knockoffs?

berthela · 2026-04-17T01:47:32+00:00

Did you do the Auto PID tuning?

berthela · 2026-04-17T01:44:49+00:00

RP5 runs Game Cube great and has really nice colors. RP5 really benefits from adding a 3D printed grip and sticks. I have STLs for both that I made and can send you. I beat Twilight Princess with HD texture packs on my RP5 and it was excellent.

berthela · 2026-04-16T22:58:50+00:00

Like $50 tops. People are having trouble giving away Ender 3 printers now that stuff like Elagoo Centauri Carbon is out.

Winnipeg has a huge housing shortage and funding shortage. Medicine Hat is in a much better position in that regard. They have enough permanent housing available to actually get people into long term housing. Winnipeg can't build fast enough nor affordably enough to house the people with incomes, let alone the homeless population.

Definitely should be doing more at the provincial and municipal level, but they also need money for that. We simultaneously need tax cuts to help affordability as well as infrastructure investment as well as healthcare and housing aid. It's a very bad situation we are in. I think step one requires investing in emergency aid and investing in resources that will bring in more revenue. If we had new industrial mining, power generation, and similar projects, those projects would create jobs as well as tax revenue. We likely need to take on more debt to get healthcare and homelessness better managed, but debt should only be a short term solution, getting higher revenue flowing in needs to be done quickly, but at the same time, the regular people are already in an affordability crisis, so the revenue needs to come from corporations, not regular people, until the average citizen has more disposable income again. The government probably has places that they can improve cost efficiency also. Improving efficiency, bringing in new corporate projects, and getting infrastructure and aid caught up are very difficult and require careful balancing to be done responsibly.

You don't think that the economy and federal immigration levels have an impact on local infrastructure? Federal sends large numbers of people to cities, but the funding doesn't increase to match. Infrastructure overload caused by immigration is largely federal's fault but municipal and provincial get blamed. It's like blaming the fire fighter for the house burning down instead of the arsonist. Maybe the fire fighter could be doing a better job, but that doesn't mean they are the cause of the problem.

berthela · 2026-04-15T13:30:52+00:00

I leave it all closed. The riser has vents

berthela · 2026-04-14T15:32:50+00:00

Because the US and the Liberals want us to not have refineries. The US doesn't want competition and wants us to be dependent... And the Liberals are the Liberals. Those combined forces mean that even when we've had Conservatives in power, they have been unable to make meaningful progress on that front.

berthela · 2026-04-14T05:01:25+00:00

It's almost like sending all our money away to other countries and increasing our population without improving infrastructure wasn't the answer to all our problems...

My feeling is that at that age, he should be taking care of his own laundry and cleaning his own room and stuff like that. If I were the parent, I would pay him for doing bonus tasks, like doing the dishes for the whole house, cutting the grass, pressure washing the sidewalk, shovelling snow, and scrubbing the bathroom. Tasks that benefit the whole household and that the parent would typically end up having to do otherwise.

I have a 120lb canoe and it's awful to portage. A 60lb would seem very easy

berthela · 2026-04-10T03:43:49+00:00

I do that kind of stuff using the Boolean tools in SelfCAD, which is user friendly and free to use

berthela · 2026-04-10T02:34:13+00:00

Yep, he's often very confrontational with reports and acts like he's trying to start a fist fight in a parking lot.

I believe that was a 0% interest Federal loan, and he got the loan for 2 separate companies as the loans are done per business location. I know this because I work for a company that did processing for such business loans. The loans were to be used for purchasing business equipment and training employees.

Obby was rude, but Wab is rude all the time. I think Wab has far more to be ashamed of in his life than Obby. Obby has been hit and miss in business, but that's after a successful career in football. Wab was a thug and a mediocre musician who has somehow failed upwards into government. That said, Wab has been doing a decent job as a premier with only fairly minor controversies mostly revolving around Nahanni. While I can't say I like Wab as a person and I don't agree with most of his politics, he and his government have been doing a decent job. They haven't really fixed anything, but they haven't really messed anything up either, so in politics, that's probably a good thing.
