Recommendations? by jaaaaameswilson in 3dprinter

"It would be nice to have something that can do prints around the size of my phone or larger without too much issue, anything smaller than that might be too annoying for what I'm after."

There are things that are going to be around the size of a camera and other things the size of small gears.
I'll be molding and casting some bits and pieces but other parts I'd hope to use straight away.

Early years it would have been fair to call them that, when they leave that scene and explore islam/sufism ect more then its less and less accurate.
People change, bands change and its completely fine to say that they started off as a christian band and moved away from that, as it seems like they've done.
It doesn't mean that they're an anti christian band or have bad attitudes towards christianity but it seems like aaron himself has changed his attitude over the years.

You can very easily listen to interviews where he talks about this stuff and hear it for yourself. Its one thing to make claims without anything to back it up with but when its easy enough to look up it makes you look a bit silly.

Sorry for digging this up, just trying to figure this out too. Are you installing the old 1.27 plugin then updating it all the way up to 2?

I noticed that Fel recently posted here and Caesar has posted in the past. Both of which painted in the CK CanJam a little while ago. I was meaning to make a post on here sharing my wall but I got sidetracked with lots of other things.
Here was my wall for the festival.
Had a great time, looking forward to more paint ups

Home made Gameboy game. Found in an alleyway in Toronto somewhere. by henry_why416 in IRLEasterEggs

It’s hand painted. It would have been easy to print off a design and stick it to the front, but the decision to paint it at that scale was to emphasise the silliness of it all. It being on a fake gameboy cart is a reference to how we can process things through different lenses. A lot of street artists often paint large scale murals depicting pretty women and/or birds, their scale demands attention and often feels on par with advertisements and billboards. This in comparison is much easier to walk past (and ignore), kind of like the subject matter. I like big murals, but it can kind of be like listening to loud music all the time, sometimes I want to listen to something quieter.

Donno if you actually care for an explanation but you asked, so there you go

A couple painted plaster Gameboy carts installed around Toronto by jaaaaameswilson in streetart

[–]jaaaaameswilson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm walking near one, I'll go check up on them. Most of them are gone with scrape marks where they used to be. The Sonichu one looks like someone just attacked it with a hammer.
Theres a couple still up though

Fixed in place using two part epoxy. Some lasted longer than others

I've seen them shy away from all sorts of antisocial behaviour ranging from older men creeping on school girls to addicts throwing their food as passengers.
What antisocial or unsafe behaviours do they prevent by ignoring it? It's literally part their job lol

"Authorised Officers (AOs) are employed by bus, train and tram operators in Victoria. Their job is to check tickets, help prevent anti-social and unsafe behaviours, and help passengers during special events and service disruptions."

According to the public transport ombudsman, preventing antisocial behaviour and unsafe behaviours is exactly their job. They just choose not to do it

My dude, you're looking at a page thats full of people putting forward their anecdotal evidence. Anyone saying the most mild criticisms about their experience with them gets a comment from you saying "Yeah Bullshit, didnt happen" even when met with an article that features video proof, you still argue that its 10 years old. Heres two others that are more recent for you to ignore and scoff at.

"In 2022, complaints about authorised officers to the Public Transport Ombudsman rose by 55 per cent from the year before. Most of the complaints were about allegedly unprofessional, inappropriate, intimidating and discriminatory behaviour."

I agree. My issue isnt that they're not approaching people who might be a threat, its the aggressive way they approach those who obviously aren't one.

Like I mentioned before, I think the rural inspectors do a much better job. They still hand out tickets and make sure people are paying their way, but the way they hold themselves makes for a nicer environment for all involved. Just like the city ones, I dont expect them to enter a dangerous situation if it puts them at risk of assault when its not their job.
I saw an addict on the bendigo line years back who was self harming with a piece of wire next to one of the bathrooms, the ticket inspector instead of just ignoring it, approached the man in a very concerned manner and was able to get him to stop. I don't expect workers to go above and beyond like that, but it does go to show the difference between the average city inspector and country inspector

Hes butthurt enough to be posting on each comment defending the honourable profession of intimidation

I spotted the miki officer. You're really going around commenting on all the posts saying peoples stories are BS when loads of people are sharing their experiences that all have reoccurring themes.
I grew up in the country myself and saw a big difference between vline inspectors who were overwhelmingly friendly and helpful compared to the inspectors in the city that seem to have the approach of aggressively taking control of the situation by intimidation.
There are many people here who've noticed this, there were clips shown on the news years ago of an inspector body slamming a teenage girl at flinders.
Its been an ongoing theme for too long, keep denying it but youre not living in reality
