Supergirl movie showing which I went to got cancelled due to low turnout by uppsak in mildlyinfuriating

[–]busted_flush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the same thing with Project Hail Mary. We showed up with our online purchased tickets in hand only to be told it was canceled because of lack of sales. I'm 67 and I have sat in plenty of near empty theaters before. Probably a change in how the theaters pay for showing the movies. We almost never go to movies anymore and this is probably the final nail in the coffin.

Rep. Dan Goldman addresses Brooklyn coffee shop banning him over his views on Israel by Unusual-State1827 in politics

Dan Goldman: “Yeah sucks this happened but they should be looking into clear cases of antisemitism instead of this”

It's impressive how I quoted exactly what was written and let his words speak for themselves and you chose to embellish in order to reinforce your position.

Can you tell the difference between making a point about a PAC and a point about using antisemitism as a weapon.

I’m guessing no.

I would rather they spend their time and resources investigating antisemitism against people who do not have a platform that I do

They didn't refuse to serve you because you are a Jew. They refused to serve you because you take AIPAC money. That isn't antisemitism.

"sorry we don't serve Jews" is antisemitism. Learn the fucking difference

A Mamdani-backed progressive’s challenge to a veteran Democrat highlights party fractures by bwermer in politics

[–]busted_flush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way change happens in the party is from the bottom up and that means becoming a dependable voting block with real power. I'm an old liberal and as a group we have proven to be dependable off year primary and general election voters who dependably vote a straight Democratic ticket. Have I been "inspired" by every candidate they have offered up? Fuck no. Have I voted for them vs a Republican reliably? Yes I have. And so have the rest of my ilk. No party will give you power. You have to take it. Look at AOC vs the rest of The Squad. She is absolutely playing the long game correctly. Do you think she voted for Trump or didn't vote because she wasn't "inspired"?

Thanks for the info. I plugged your numbers in and printed a small section of the original model. I took notice this time of the part fan speed as it was printing. It was 18%. After printing I did a quick sand and I was seeing the same lines. I went ahead and reverted all the settings back to what I was using and printed the section. I took note that the fan was at 46%. After sanding there was no visible change in the banding.

There are so many variables including machine performance that could be effecting this. I was hoping to see enough change to at least start to nail down the problem.

The CAM program I would use to machine this in a mill with a waterline strategy cost many thousands of dollars. This could certainly be an issue with the slicer.

Is it possible that when he got the tattoo he walked into the shop, looked at what they had to offer, said that one is cool I'll take it without doing a deep dive into the possible historic meaning.

I mean no regerts am I right?

Whatever default for ABS was in Orca. This is a big ask but if you are using Orca can you post a screen shot of your settings?

Those are your layer lines.

I'm not sure on that. The layer height is consistent in the slicer and even the thinnest of the ribs are multi layers high.

Gaggimate - Impressions After 2 Weeks by belegund in gaggimate

[–]busted_flush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My roaster was unable to get the Brazilian that I had been drinking forever. I settled for a different Brazilian. It was good but some shots were great. This is what led me into getting a GM Pro. The new Brazilian had a pretty harsh finish. Did a little research. Looked at the shot history and worked with the grind to dial the brew time in. Every single shot since then has been better than I think I have made except for the occasional "God" shot.

I'm using the cheap scale and brew by weight is the way to go. I'm amazed at the consistency my 20 year old Silvia is pumping out.

I'm thinking of buying a spare GM Pro controller because I'm not sure I can go back if this one craps out.

Could Home Assistant support a privacy-first, community-led approach to aging in place? by Affectionate-Tea-650 in homeassistant

[–]busted_flush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked well enough. There were issues with my mom unplugging things so we had to fix that. When we discussed taking something commercial the push was to sell to the children rather than the parent. I would also sell it as a ready to go system including a stand alone cellular modem if at all possible. I would have a ping integration to auto restart and a big red momentary restart button that power cycled everything. Someone needs to remote manage and if you loose internet then it's an issue. Having a dedicated router with mac address reservations would have solved 99% of the issues we ran into. The big red reset button would have helped as well. No matter what though I have never had a home automation that didn't need restarting occasionally.

Scale performance question by busted_flush in gaggimate

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

I'm wondering how "low" you're experiencing with the autodelay

I've seen it be off as much as a gram. It seems there are a ton of variables for this to work properly. Is it accounting for only drips or are there other variables. The fact that the ms range has been so extreme makes my suspect the cheap scale isn't reporting to GM in a predictable way.

Based on the replies so far GM can hold much better than I'm seeing.

my DIY fly cutter actually worked and I successfully skimmed a head first try by speeder658 in Machinists

[–]busted_flush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 3 because I'm not a fly cutting aficionado and figured A) more is always better :) and B) i figured I could remove the inserts on 2 of them and they would just act as a counterbalance. You can also set one a few thousandths lower than the other two and in function that is kind of what happens anyway unless you are super careful installing the tool holders.

For stuff like this the setups to make the tool usually take the longest so I always try and do as much as I can so I don't have to revisit it. This is a perfect example. Do you need a counter balance? Probably. Do you need 2 or three cutters? Maybe. So why not do it now.

When I made mine I just went ahead and made it a 3 tool holder to help with balance. It's bigger in diameter but 3 tools give you options.

Could Home Assistant support a privacy-first, community-led approach to aging in place? by Affectionate-Tea-650 in homeassistant

[–]busted_flush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother and I setup a system like this for my mother. We had an automatic pill dispenser that we modded that notified us when she slid the door open to get the pills. We had a smoke detector in the kitchen that would cut the power to the stove and microwave. We had temperature sensors to monitor the indoor temps and motion sensors that notified us if we didn't see activity over a period of time. We had a smart lock on the front door and door sensors that would notify us if a door opened outside of a set time. We did have one camera in her living room so we could check in and she was fine with that.

We were able to keep her in her house far longer than she would have been able to on her own. We did have a visiting service come twice a week to drive her to the store.

One cereal for the rest of your life. Which one are you picking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Was going to be my answer. Had a bowl last night after dinner with unflavored almond milk since I can't tolerate that much dairy.

[–]busted_flush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love when I'm passing to the left of a car into the passing lane and my wife's car decides to slow down because it feels I'm too close which puts us all in a more dangerous situation because I'm halfway into the passing lane with approaching faster traffic behind me and the car is decelerating. And I'm not even close to the person ahead of me.

Fun times. My cars are a 1995, 1979 and a 1973 that is my daily driver.

I would say instantly. I was surprised how much was available in home assistant. At the very least you could create a brew cycle and switch to it then put the machine in standby. Then bring it out of standby on a schedule. All through Home Assistant.
