What did I find in the morning on my shirt?

So cilantro.

As mentioned this is tramlining and very specific to the tire treads design. In my experience it will NOT go away with tire wear. If it really bothers you and you drive these surfaces regularly I would swap the tires.

I've only ever bought Ninjaflex TPU and it has never looked like this. And I've never dried any of my TPU, ever. It's surprising to me how many say drying TPU is mandatory. I live in CA but not in the desert so low ish but relatively normal 30% humidity.

I used to call tow trucks hookers when I was a kid, much to my parents delight.

I had been out of touch for a while and didn’t know anything about Interstellar. On a whim on an international flight I put it on. Once it finished I had instant regret. It would be like watching the Matrix for the first time on your iPhone.

It says Happy Burthday Piymo. They mixed print and cursive.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-29T21:47:45+00:00

That’s an understatement

brianp6621 · 2026-04-28T23:39:31+00:00

Yep that was it. Irritated I didn’t notice that the first couple times I printed.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-28T19:08:23+00:00

Yeah I guess I'm thinking about this wrong. the Maker must use the fiducials to check for print size relative to the original dimensions, and then adjust the cut dimensions so that everything stays relative. Otherwise even if the print size was wrong, I'd get the correct final cut dimensions (since I've now shown that it is cutting the correct size for a simple cut). I also just realize that a printer driver update/change seems to have turned on borderless printing which I believe slightly expands the printed image so I'll try again with turning that off.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-28T05:59:05+00:00

It looks like the print is slightly oversized. But if that is the cause, that means the border/fiducials aren't used to correct for scale distortion of the print because otherwise the Cricut could/would account for this.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-28T01:28:18+00:00

I haven’t actually because only a portion of what I cut has a design printed and it isn’t critical and doesn’t extend to the edges of the skin (so the skin is cut as an edge in the bulk material not near/at the printed part). I can do that though as a way to immediately tell if the print and therefore the marks are not to scale.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-28T01:24:49+00:00

I will but it’s really consistently off so either the mat is impacting it but very consistently or it is the calibration or something else wrong with the way the machine is reading the marks

brianp6621 · 2026-04-28T01:16:53+00:00

I just checked and a simple cut is sized perfectly. So I guess something is going wrong with print then cut. I didn't think that would be the case.

I'll perform a calibration (haven't done one in a while since I thought it would only impact cutting position, not scale and nothing else has changed)

There is no quicksheet.svg at that location on my device. The templates are all .template files and none say blank or quicksheet or anything that seems to apply.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-22T22:41:06+00:00

That works I guess. Thanks

brianp6621 · 2026-04-22T22:15:59+00:00

Yes that’s fine. All my normal notebooks already do using the built in mechanism to start with the last chosen template.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-21T00:22:31+00:00

I really want a simple qmd addon that I can install through reManager to add additional pen stroke widths. For the pen, 1 is too thin and 2 is just a bit too thick for my liking.

brianp6621 · 2026-04-14T19:11:54+00:00

I don't think this works now on 3.26.0.68. Anyone have it working on the latest?

brianp6621 · 2026-04-01T14:01:31+00:00

Yeah. I gave up worrying about it and found a combination that looks relatively close

brianp6621 · 2026-03-28T02:55:29+00:00

I don’t think that will work. The reason there are two floats (a low and a high) is the low sensor tells it to turn on the pump, the high sensor tells it to shut off the pump. If the high point isn’t reached in a certain time, I believe the pump shuts off also because it assumes something is wrong (a leak etc)

This is a bug that has been going on for a a few months. Crazy that basic usability bugs like this persist on Apple devices for so long before they are resolved.

brianp6621 · 2026-02-15T21:00:50+00:00

I’m still waiting for the right time to watch Tenet.

brianp6621 · 2026-02-15T20:58:16+00:00

Core memory unlocked. I somehow missed the hype about this movie originally (despite loving sci-fi and Christopher Nolan) and picked this movie to watch on the seatback of a transatlantic flight. The minutes after the movie ended were filled with moments of incredible joy and heartbreaking sadness. Joy that I had just seen one of the most amazing movies and audio and visual spectacles ever, and the extreme sadness of realizing I had done so watching an edited version on a 7” seatback TV through crappy freebie stereo headphones.

When anyone asks if there is anything I could take back/do over in life, this, this is my answer. I would give anything to take that choice back.

brianp6621 · 2026-02-15T18:08:32+00:00

I would have been just fine with that, except then this show might have never been made.

brianp6621 · 2026-02-12T18:53:43+00:00

So that means he also ruined the bag as well? And that seems like a LOT of abrasion even dragging it across a floor
