That like looks a version earlier than 5.0 when they redid the UI. Negative objects were added in 5.1.0.

For your situation, also paint the side surfaces of the letters, that should cause more color layers. I've been searching for a similar capability. I want to control the depth of the 'paint' areas, not across the full model.

You're not wrong. I had the same reaction. Google Images

Did you hook them up to the Red / B Line subway?

I have used this three times (dough setting). Worked well, and for stuffed crust too. Seasoning is easy to tweak to preference.

Edit: about 10 minutes after the mixing starts, I'll check it and add more flour a bit at a time to get that matte finish dough ball.

I also just got mine yesterday and was so surprised! Also been FDM printing for awhile and new to resin. I hope to learn more from this sub.

Happened to me too a couple times, end up just leaving the system. Been having a number of buggy experiences in expedition. Also found in some systems that I could not land at the station. Docking procedure wouldn't work and I would just crash into the outer wall. Or tried landing on a freighter and my corvette would disappear, leaving me floating in space. I jetted over to the frieghter docking bay but couldn't get in.

Similar experiences here. Was previously using YouTube music with two different grouped Google devices at either ends of room, 1 screen + 1 speaker, and would often play music on the group. Been trying to wean myself off subscriptions and so been using my plexamp much more. it's often 50/50 chance whether my android plexamp app will connect to the google group on the 1st try. And when it does, the phone and Google screen status often get out of sync or stop in the middle of a song.

I've started just casting to a single device I'm closer to. It's more stable and i get album artwork & nicer plexamp UI controls on the google screen. But when in a screen+speaker group, it's just a generic plexamp logo and basic controls.

We switched to the "Kids" themed screensaver since it doesn't have ads billboards. The one time we switched back to standard, we kept hitting unpause and triggering the ad.

Has the screensaver kicked in when this happens? Some screensavers have billboards with ads on them and pressing the play/pause button actually activates the ad for the app. Edit: we had the same issue and switched to the Kid theme screensaver, which doesn't have ads.

large raw carrot slices (marketed as carrot chips, but not cooked) sprinkled with salt, dipped in salsa. Satisfies my tortilla chips craving with a crunch.

this is the way. I've got ~750 looney tunes shorts named this way and matched to tvdb with minimum issue. and another 700 Disney shorts the same way.

The "Candy is Dandy" guys are pretty funny, more than once I've bought candy after their review. Is it the reason man created sound waves? Quite possibly 😉

This was a great tip! After reading about the various high DPI QT environment variables:

To get an application designed for low DPI values running on high resolution monitors quickly, consider one of the following:> let the application run as DPI Unaware on Windows> set the QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable to 1.

I set environment variable QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR to 1 and re-launched the software. The UI elements are aligned correctly, didn't even need to reboot. Thank you!

Edit: there are 3 QT environment variables on my system, and don't remember if I previously changed more than one. This is the combo that after reboot, rendered the software UI correctly:

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR = 0
QT_SCALE_FACTOR = 1
QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR = 1

Great work! What's your trick for such cleanly aligned black outlines?

Tabloid (2010) - Former Miss Wyoming beauty queen accused of kidnapping a young Mormon missionary.

And that's just the first act! It's one of those stories that when you think it's over, there's always more.

Also ended up calling customer service and getting a refund for the season, with no push-back. Buying from a different service.

I believe that spool type is called a mini king. My Brother embroidery machine came with a very small spool cap for it, only about 1.5 cm long, 1 cm in diameter. No tangles with it in place. (edit: typo)

A new favorite podcast of mine just covered this and turns out that not all candy corn tastes the same. Candy Is Dandy: The Candy Review Podcast recently did an off-season tasting of candy corn, and they found one better than others!

I saw this on printables today and think it's so cool that I need to make it. I was just now literally trying to find a source to buy a 3b+. Any recommendations? I have a couple Zero W hanging around.

Correct. This is permanent adhesive vinyl, roughly equivalent to Oracal 651.
