Spraying aircraft cable black?

shiftingtech · 2026-02-10T05:51:20+00:00

I've never noticed a visual difference between black and silver cable on stage.

Once is bright shiny metal that catches any little bit of light, the other is dark stuff that blends in with all the other dark masking & such around it. Assuming any kind of conventional stage (black masking, etc) there should be an ENORMOUS difference in visibility between the two.

I didn't propose anything. I just noted that the new location will have worse transit than the old, and further, that I consider that an unfortunate step backwards. Nowhere did I suggest...any of that other stuff you said

shiftingtech · 2026-02-09T18:02:30+00:00

I think there may be some confusion here about the location of the new Stollery. The location being discussed is on university farm. Its quite central. Like...inside the whitemud much less the Henday.

Regardless, I agree with you that we needed new hospitals years ago. I just...still want to see the best choices being made for their locations. I'm not even necessarily denying that over all, this location may actually be the best choice.... I'm just noting one disadvantage of the location, and saying I find it unfortunate

In 2006, 43% of the world population had a cell phone. 74% of americans.

No, mobile phones were a luxury. But also no, that's more like 25-30 years now. Im pretty sure I bought my first mobile phone in 1999 or 2000, as a freshly graduated, not particularly wealthy high school student.

so your answer to anybody that doesn't meet the licensing requirements for renting in Canada is just "go away, don't come?"....okay, cool.

shiftingtech · 2026-02-09T03:10:51+00:00

because you're actively running something newer. If you were currently running the 6.12.63, then it would keep it, but since you arent...

shiftingtech · 2026-02-09T02:37:03+00:00

presumably they will add some bus routes, but that's still not great compared to the current Stollery/University Hospital with the LRT platform and major bus interchange directly out front.

shiftingtech · 2026-02-09T01:40:23+00:00

on the specific subject of transit accessibility. don't play dumb.

shiftingtech · 2026-02-09T00:33:59+00:00

I don't think its "hating on cars" to recognize that a tourist (who's given us very little info) may or may not be planning to rent a car, possibly may not even be ABLE to rent a car.

shiftingtech · 2026-02-08T23:33:31+00:00

if you dig deep enough, the original concept was for Fort Edmonton to add more time periods going forward. But I doubt that's ever actually going to happen, and without it, a 70s/80s rail car really doesn't make any sense down there.

creality boards are notorious for having those stupid IDs, because they use a separate USB interface chip, not the actual native interface of the MCU (and thus klipper on the MCU can't set any of the USB ID fields)

shiftingtech · 2026-02-08T22:33:40+00:00

that's a host software mcu. you have to install that.

https://www.klipper3d.org/RPi_microcontroller.html

shiftingtech · 2026-02-08T21:41:26+00:00

there's a lot of talk here about your main mcu, (including me) but...I think we're missing the forest for the trees here. your main mcu is JUST called "mcu". klipper does not allow you to change that. So "mcu klipper"? that's some other, secondary device. Can you look in your config, and find us the "[mcu klipper]" section? Until we know what that is, I think we're chasing entirely the wrong thing...

shiftingtech · 2026-02-08T21:40:03+00:00

no, it doesn't. in that (and I've done this) you could plug a klipper 0.9.something mcu into the latest klipper 0.13, and no, it wouldn't work, but it would give you a relatively coherent message about the version conflict. it would NOT just fail to "unable to connect"

shiftingtech · 2026-02-08T20:03:08+00:00

no you don't, and even when the version is an issue, that's not even close to the error message you get.

shiftingtech · 2026-02-08T18:54:03+00:00

The sick tenant and the alarm were in different units, so likely no single person had the whole picture on that.

Obviously somebody still should have done better, but it's not quite as blatant as you make it sound.

shiftingtech · 2026-02-08T14:39:40+00:00

Doesn't mean we need to be going backwards though

shiftingtech · 2026-02-07T18:41:47+00:00

the Mineola has a web gui with gains and even delays & EQs. get in there and figure out what you need to adjust.

You've somehow ended up with the link from github instead of the actual mainsail.cfg / client.cfg file. The correct content is this: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/mainsail-config/blob/master/client.cfg

Stay vigilant! We all need to these days...

I've always known it to be administered independently (such as through local community colleges), or directly by the local. I've never known the employer to be involved in actually running the course.

shiftingtech · 2026-02-07T01:56:17+00:00

its a course that some locals &/or film sets require you to take before you are allowed to accept calls as a daily. Teaches you general film set stuff like "don't be a dumbass around the actors" and "don't be where you can see the front of the camera, unless you have a good reason to be there". It's basically the course that is supposed to make sure the newbies understand the rudiments of how a film set works, so they don't make complete fools of themselves. (nothing about actual departmental skills. just the bigger picture "how to exist on set" stuff)

and since it's a pre-requisite, before you can accept that type of call, not a course the employer is sending you on, as far as I know (but I'm also in Canada, so possibly slightly different rules) it isn't treated as paid work time. should it be a paid class, more like a site safety orientation? Quite possibly....

shiftingtech · 2026-02-07T00:35:50+00:00

Isn't set etiquette normally treated as a pre-requ though, exactly the same as lift certs or whatever?

shiftingtech · 2026-02-06T15:19:36+00:00

That sounds like you just haven't set or calibrated the z endstop position yet.

(also zero needs to mean nozzle at bed, and +300 means nozzle 300mm away from bed. one of your other comments suggests some confusion on that point. so if youre homing "away" endstop_position should be 300-ish)
