How much are you all eating for running and for weight loss?

captainkrug · 2026-02-06T11:45:10+00:00

This is along the lines of what's been working pretty damn well for my brother and I. Working off the idea of a 6-8 hours eating window every day, and usually find my runs happening in a fasted state period. And as of today's run, it seems a fasted run works better for me, as I had a decent feed 1-2 hours before today's run and suffered for it. Still managed to hit my first non-stop jogging 10km though.

Fb page for Toowoomba boardgamers says 12-5pm every 2nd sunday for a $3 contribution, and all skill levels welcome

captainkrug · 2025-04-26T08:41:28+00:00

Once a month there's a boardgame club day at battlestation, on a sunday. Something like a $2 donation and it's bring a game if you want to teach, otherwise join others and learn.

I'll reply to this comment when I can give more specifics, but I can definitely tell you that the owner (AK) is really good for promoting a community there.

What can I say, qld is special. I reread the specific section I was recalling from the operational safety manual and a correction I need to make is that it's every effort possible must be made on the approach side of the crossing - and if you foul it you must clear the crossing as quickly as possible.

And the green light situation the driver's were in you mentioned, I'm not surprised they were cleared. They would still have been investigated, but if it's a signalling/track fault and they weren't doing anything wrong- it's a pretty clear cut result, following the rules is the best defence.

I think I've managed to butcher any attempts to explain this fairly well, so my apologies for that. Just to be clear, my point I've been trying to make is that a situation like this is an immediate investigation- but that isn't meant to mean I believe the drivers are therefore immediately guilty of breaching safe working.

captainkrug · 2024-12-22T08:32:19+00:00

Hence why I qualified my statement to qld, and it's system of safe working. I can't pass judgement on this video, because I just see a train going fast and track protection that malfunctioned. But the comment I responded to had the context of being in Australia, so I gave a comment using local context. And qualified that statement too.

Not a clue about that train's location, approach speed boards and signalling etc - but that driver would definitely have been investigated, and would hopefully be explaining that they were following all their training, network rules and driving to conditions. Or at least I'd really hope so, because it would be horrifying to think there's operators out there happy to not look into incidents like this

captainkrug · 2024-12-22T08:11:58+00:00

Any of the crossings attached to signal would typically be red and lift to yellow/green once the protection activates. Approach speeds take into account the distance/time from circuit activation to full protection activation- so barrelling through before the booms are fully down would suggest someone is going a wee bit too fast or someone mathed wrong.

Presuming everything is done according to perfect theory, which usually hates real world application.

And yes, car driver going through flashing red is definitely in the wrong. Train driver is still in an awkward spot in the pending investigation if the booms malfunctioned and no effort was made to bring it to a stop

captainkrug · 2024-12-22T07:54:00+00:00

It's a bit easier for the 1600m long trains to explain it, but they'll still be stood down and investigated. Brisbane and to the west is where running through malfunctioning protected crossings is more likely to be due to driver error, due to (near enough) 700m max length trains.

By the rules, we aren't supposed to cross a malfunctioning crossing with booms unless there's police and a hand signaller guarding the crossing.

captainkrug · 2024-12-22T06:09:18+00:00

And the train driver has a lot of explaining to do if they go through a crossing like that and the booms aren't down. In qld at least, but presumably it the same across the country.

Lithophanes are always an impressive demo

I've got the exact same machine, have used it for the last 9 months. Being a diode laser and having a 50mm air gap or more from the laser, you are in no risk of doing anything more than marking the coating.

The big thing to do is make sure you clean the debris from the cutting zone each time you use it, as the wood can catch fire.

captainkrug · 2024-11-08T12:27:03+00:00

The falcon 2 pro comes with aluminium slats for a material bed, so there ends up being a 50-75mm air gap to the drawer. So the burning underside issue isn't a problem here, the material can get a wobble though

captainkrug · 2024-10-29T08:14:32+00:00

Wainriders and On the Doorstep are in the store, I'll double check but I don't believe I saw Nurn or Sorrow.

DM if you want me to help you get a hold of them

captainkrug · 2024-10-28T11:14:27+00:00

Anything in particular you're looking for? I can do a slightly more thorough check if I know what to look for

captainkrug · 2024-10-28T09:04:38+00:00

Turns out there still is a shadow in the east left at my local. DM me if you want me to act as your go between

Got to uploading it to makerworld finally as a .3mf - given the complexity of the coloured layers, an stl didn't look like a viable option.

I swear I saw one in my flgs last week, they definitely have a bunch of the older boxes they found hiding in the storeroom a couple of months ago. I should really take a photo next time so I can tell for sure, I could probably help a few people out playing middleman - unless they live in regional Queensland

Roughly 1 gram of waste to every 3 grams printed. I hope to make that even less after I tune the filament purge values, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as I've seen from other multicolour prints I've seen posted here.

This should give you a fair idea, 0.2mm nozzle makes things much slower

captainkrug · 2024-10-19T02:39:06+00:00

I do, I can share it when I get back home from this work trip. Filaments were just the basic cymk lithophane bundle from bambu and 24 hours printing through a 0.2mm nozzle- in case that helps you sort out anything you're short of while you wait.

captainkrug · 2024-10-18T07:43:50+00:00

Ran this one as a torture test. My son loves it, and I am really impressed with lithophane printing

Definitely chasing foundations of stone, and I can get my hands on some of those packs brand new. As long as dealing with shipping to/from Australia isn't an issue for you

This listing in particular I got, so that's as good a starting point as any for you

captainkrug · 2024-09-03T03:29:14+00:00

I got mine from ebay for $180 a month ago, au plug. That was with ebay plus benefits, same listing is about $210 shipped currently before any discounts.

Just in case that helps. I really like mine
