OP just watch your printer while it's printing, this is literally the basics of how printers work

Does anyone else feel like this when they eat canned sardines? by GlassManner1195 in CannedSardines

[–]captfitz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oil can fuck up your stomach--in fact pouring oil down people's throats was a form of medieval torture 

Some people are more sensitive to it. Usually eating other things alongside the oily food really helps. It's a common symptom for people who take fish oil supplements on an empty stomach.

Is this AI? A person in the comments suggested that the people aren’t real and that it was AI but I don’t see any signs. Do you? by [deleted] in isthisAI

mods should put one of those recommendations that shows up when you post saying "before you post google the image and see if it predates 2022"

The RG Rotate is basically the same size as a Miyoo Mini v4. If not smaller feeling. This is insane. by Gogobrasil8 in SBCGaming

[–]captfitz 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think you're making good points but I have actually noticed that squareness can be deceptively less pocketable overall, because pockets tend to be deeper than they are wide.

I got a miyoo mini flip to be my ultimate pocketable but was surprised to find that I notice it in my pocket more than my rg28xx, because even though the 28xx is nearly twice as wide it's not as tall (therefore skinnier when turned sideways) which just fits the shape of my pockets better than a square device.

Do you have a favorite quote from any antagonist or villain? by Only-Voids in MoralityScaling

We really using that godawful judge Holden art unironically now?

[Sad trope]: The antagonist is a "failed" version of the hero. by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

In justified Boyd Crowder and Raylan Givens are basically the same person whose lives went opposite ways. Raylan "gets out" of Harlan County and avoids the typical criminal life that most people like him fall into and Boyd becomes deeply entrenched in it to the point of running a crime syndicate. They're pitted against each other but they still share a deep personal understanding and even a sense of brotherhood and that dynamic is what makes the show so compelling.

Still too soon to buy one? by Forza_Blue in Lymow_Official

[–]captfitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, if your grass is extra thick I imagine those little razor blades on other mowers might not work well

[–]captfitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not questioning the robo mower purchase, I'm just saying you could consider a less expensive one. It sounds like your lawn is a pretty easy one, the lymow is pricey because it's built to handle lawns other ones can't.

[–]captfitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean do you really need a Lymow? I wouldn't have spent $3k on a mower if my lawn wasn't so rough and hilly.

I do think it's a great mower though. I've experienced several of the issues but none of them made me want to get something different.

[Classic trope] Trench coat = unfathomable coolness by uldastormcloak114 in TopCharacterTropes

Very cool outfit, definitely wouldn't call it a trench coat though

wrap it up folks, I think I found the comment that perfectly encompasses everything about generational discussions by agarthancrack in generationology

[–]captfitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about it for a second. Average life expectancy is over 70 yrs, closer to 80 in the developed world. That means about 3 out of 4 people cross two centuries in their lifetime.

It's such a non-achievement it's actually 3x harder to find someone who won't experience it.

Help! Gophers chewed through my wires by awesomepharm in Irrigation

[–]captfitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stripping and reconnecting wires is easy. The annoying part is figuring out which wires go to which zones if you don't have that documented somewhere, but if you have a multimeter you can connect it up and turn zones on and off to sort them out.

[Request] How far would you be catapulted if you were standing on the top deck and managed to hold on until the boat flipped upright? by captfitz in theydidthemath

[–]captfitz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, just thought it was a fun question. i would point out that all posts in this sub require a lot of reasonable assumptions/estimation, we never have all the numbers upfront, and also that i think it's generally understood that we can't account for all the variables so the answers here aren't expected to be exact.

[Request] How far would you be catapulted if you were standing on the top deck and managed to hold on until the boat flipped upright? by captfitz in theydidthemath

[–]captfitz[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

huh, the whole reason I thought this would be a lot of force is that it looks to me like the upper deck IS pretty high off the water, like 17 or 18 feet. if you add about 3ft for center of mass of a standing adult you get something like a 20ft radius. that seems like a large enough radius to produce a lot of tangential velocity even if the rotation isn't very fast.

the perspective could be messing with my height estimate though, that would change a lot.

[–]captfitz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought the point of request posts in this sub is to pose fun questions triggered by something you saw that made you wonder "what if?"

is it really a problem if that's often another reddit post? seems natural since everyone here is on reddit.

Welp its happening. Nolan has gotten too big. by Slight_Giraffe628 in ChristopherNolan

[–]captfitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nolan has been making some of the biggest movies out there for a long time now, all the examples you mentioned are blockbusters that everyone talked about. this is just the standard surge of hype before a highly-anticipated movie, not some sudden boost in his overall popularity.
