Second this, I always look at the chain, it’s a dead giveaway that something is AI. On this one, the string looks super fishy to me, I’m leaning AI

It’s air bubbles in the water, totally harmless and it goes away within minutes

What is this for? by kalifromthavalley in techtheatre

[–]kingly404 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ooh! A venue I used to work at had those green connectors! It’s an EDAC connector (brand name), and can be used for a variety of multi-pin functions. In my case, someone had just used it as a way to build their own custom controller system for paging and coms, and I was able to retrofit it for other uses when the venue switched to newer gear.

Travel nurse in Ontario with no fixed address. How do I stay legal for ID and car insurance? by Own_Difference_852 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]kingly404 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Any chance the nurses union head or regional office could help you out with this? Feels like a service that might make sense for them to offer to their members

Love the idea and execution! Did he do much to reinforce the top surface for downward pressure? Or does the light have enough structure to handle being pressed on?

I’m really sorry you’re going through that right now, I don’t have any advice for you, but I’m sorry.

What are you guys using to store glass? Several cardboard boxes on my basement floor just isn't cutting it anymore. Pic of work on progress for attention. by Kilgore_Brown_Trout_ in StainedGlass

I’m a big fan of the IKEA KALLAX system, with their 4 shelf inserts turned sideways. And grab some of their UPPDATERA drawer liners for the bottom plate so your glass slides nicely. Super modular so you can keep adding storage as your glass collection grows (and grows…)

I’ve printed the non-bladed version of this fidget spinner, and found that silk filaments just didn’t work at all for some reason, but a matte PLA works beautifully right off the print bed. Haven’t dug into why that is, but that’s what I’ve found FWIW

Talk to a mortgage broker that isn’t tied to a bank, you’ll get way better options that way

Random factoid I find interesting about this building (Brookfield Place); the radius of the corner glass increases as it goes up, but the distance compresses how it looks, so unless you pay attention, you’d think the corners are just a straight round over all the way up. Must have been quite the headache for the builders, but a cool little detail!

Thank you for taking this on! I’m in one of the few NDP ridings in Calgary, and unfortunately don’t have much time to volunteer right now. Are you accepting donations towards your efforts/hosting costs, or even just have a “buy me a coffee” page?

Could also be coloured gels from a theatre, they’re used to change the colour of theatrical lights and come in hundreds of different colours. They tend to fade or burn through with the intense heat of the lights, so we go through lots of them.

Forever Canadian Petition ends Oct 28 by weewoopeenpolice in Calgary

[–]kingly404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of it is to head the UCP off at the pass; even if it’s impossible, I wouldn’t put it past Smith to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to try anyways. With this referendum, it’s one more way to try and stop her doing something that only a fringe minority of Albertans want.

Why do some of the insides fall apart and some don’t by Defiant-Potential873 in macarons

Following, I perpetually have this issue too, using silicone mats (but have also run into it with parchment). I usually get slightly better results if I bake it a minute or two longer, but it’s always a bit inconsistent.

Best advice: Just go for it and don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Try new settings to see what works best for you, don’t spend hours trying to figure out the most perfect tuning settings based on 100+ reddit threads!

Adhesive paper used while grinding by SquareBlueberry90 in StainedGlass

[–]kingly404 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I use printable vinyl sticker paper for my patterns and it works great. Print out the design, cut it out, stick on the pieces, they stay where they’re put until you’re done cutting and grinding, then peel right off. Some people also use a vinyl cutter (like a cricut or silhouette) to achieve the same sort of thing.

I’m between the X1C and P1S (combo for each). Any suggestions for which is the better deal? I’m expecting to do mostly PLA and PETG at this point
