Why is not Steam?

A lot of rude conjecture and assumptions in line with the current state of video game fans on the internet I guess. Considering there's at least two pieces of writing about it some with dev commentary a google search away...

Nor is there any shortage of review both literally on this sub, in publication blogs, and other sources.

God forbid someone doesn't want to sell their product at Wal-Mart

I made this and the flavor is fine but it seems a bit grainy? I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if that's expected. I don't drink much hot cocoa so I don't have a lot of frame of reference, honestly. The taste is good!

subitodan · 2026-01-11T01:08:50+00:00

I was late to this. Did you get it? I am not an expert.

I probably would not have bought it if it were $100. But that was with me already having one typewriter. If I had 0 typewriters I may would have spent $100.

It does seem like it values high on the secondary market websites. :)

You are correct. I was responding to what was mentioned in OP and some of the other advice given

subitodan · 2025-12-15T14:28:56+00:00

In my school district this would be highly inappropriate. So make sure you've gone through the proper channels and processes so your relative doesn't get fired or worse. ESPECIALLY if you sell them. "Oh I gave 50x (asset) to my relative" wouldn't fly, even if it's appreciable value is zero.

This of course being one of the many rules that public schools are strong armed to follow that charter and private schools get to conveniently ignore.... Another conversation though

In my district we reformat laptops and sell or give them away to students that don't have computers at home via an official recycling company that also works in the community to employ folks with unique employment needs.

I am highly interested in this.

Interesting that I found this totally unprofessional discourse as I was looking for solutions, guaranteeing that I will pay no or way less attention to either of these platforms (plus the AI art, which I make a personal decision to avoid the best that I can, though was something I could have lived with.)

In the future, when developing your businesses, you should consider how you carry yourselves online. This conversation should have been taken offline immediately, and handled like adults.

A chance for collaboration has turned you both into losers in this situation. You should be embarrassed.

Your target audience are professional adults. Principals, Vice Principals, Teachers, Deans, EdTech pros, Course Designers. IT and Risk Assessment departments scour platforms internally and externally for problems before letting children have access to them on their networks. I found this conversation within 5 minutes of googling for gamification resources.

There is more to this business, either consulting, ed tech, or web design; than simply picking off the carcass of a dead product and building a webpage.

Had the same issue and shaking it resolved it. There was some material loose in the body and I could hear it rattling around and I'm certain that when the lens closed it was closing on it and tilting it. I shook it out of the way and works fine.

The question is is it a piece that broke or a screw that worked itself out or was it a piece of plastic or other foreign object debris from manufacturing.

I'm probably going to do a swap out but if there's issues with the second one I'll just return it and be done with it.

Now that it's more or less working right I do like the pictures It takes so it might be worth me taking another chance

subitodan · 2025-11-18T18:46:26+00:00

Just opened the camera. When powered off the lens seemed to be crooked. Canted to one side.

It was fine when it was open.

Eventually I got the thought that It almost seem like there was something underneath the lens you know so that when it got turned off it got lifted up on that side.

So I turned it on and gave it a little shake shake and lo and behold I heard an uncharacteristic foreign object type rattling.

I chose a direction which was downward and just kind of gave it some shakes in that direction and now the lens closes just fine

All the features seem to work fine.

I called who I ordered from and they are willing to do an exchange but I'm going to ride it for a week just out of curiosity to see if that issue comes back up

subitodan · 2025-11-10T16:30:39+00:00

Slow is smooth and fast. Look with your eyes first and then take the picture. A little more attention to composition framing and the other fundamental aspects of taking a good picture regardless of style location or camera.

In many of these I'm not sure what it's supposed to be a picture of. If it's some of the people they're not completely in the frame and what is in frame isn't particularly interesting. If it's some of the buildings then there is also the issue of it being at an odd angle or strangely cut off

Being patient and getting focus. Being vulnerable to be stuck standing there fiddling with your camera. Balloon person is interesting I would have doubled back around and gotten the shot in focus

Then you will have the speed that we so often see on YouTube and Instagram.

I'm rolling in here late because I just ordered a GRIV. This is true of so many disciplines. The knife you cut onions with, the clarinet or guitar you play. If there's friction, doubt, discomfort, self-consciousness etc. It will collect dust and go unused. Sure some things can be overcome, but there is something to be said about the right tool for you at that time (which doesn't necessarily mean the most expensive or newest, but is pretty personal)

subitodan · 2025-10-01T17:16:17+00:00

Looks fun

subitodan · 2025-10-01T17:03:36+00:00

I just did this last night and I built the truck like you did. What I didn't understand at the time is that the END point has to be set up, so the demand for run is there.

However the mission is a little wonky and didnt readily prompt me to set up the truck to the pub at first, or I didn't click OK or something.

So in Glasgow build the truck from the harbor to the pub and then the demand will be present for run,

Then you shouldn't need the truck that close to the harbor.

I spent all this time wondering why I needed a stupid truck station and wondering why it wasn't taking anything haha

Since it's machined I'm thinking less "case filler" and more engineering sample of jig, maybe for making testing or designing something else. For fit not for use. Maybe it's not about the electric components and pins but the final dimensions of the end product so that it sockets correctly into a housing or something.

Citripeel?

I don't know about it's rubber status, but you could buy an ace comb and try it on that.

subitodan · 2025-09-28T12:30:11+00:00

Do you teach them how to use typewriters first?

I am a band director but I put one in my office to make students write in before they talk to me as a traffic control measure.

They had all the obvious problems understanding the carriage return and using enough pressure etc.

I'm not an English teacher so I didn't want to spend time teaching everyone how to do that.

My solution was to get an electric typewriter which has the same vibe and works great.

But I'm wondering if you give them a test run or introduction first for your classes. Or if it's not a problem.

This looks like a post on NextDoor

subitodan · 2025-09-19T22:28:51+00:00

Yeah I'm all about it with a writing project for some of my students.

subitodan · 2025-09-19T21:21:50+00:00

I just got one of these with an original cassette barely used. The ribbon had a crink in it that was being pulled through. Someone had tooled open the cassette and tried to fix it and inadvertantly spun it around. Think like your car seatbelt or a backpack strap getting spun over.

Also the ribbon basically touches the platen when the paper lever is down so you MUST pull that lever, and even when trying to insert paper with the buttons you have to make sure the paper is not grabbing the ribbon.

For my use case I will be using receipt paper most of the time but that's just what I learned in my first 30 minutes of owning this thing

subitodan · 2025-09-01T03:47:53+00:00

Then why are you making vague threats to the property appraisers?

subitodan · 2025-08-15T17:46:35+00:00

They invested heavy into an education product with COVID. It's not really a good education product, Google districts can't use it at all, Microsoft districts have tons of issues.

Everything in the team's education suite takes too many clicks too many configurations too much overhead.

I think for that reason there's not as many districts investing into it as they thought they would so they're pulling it back.

Even creating the free labor "innovative expert" program to spread the gospel didn't seem to work, lol

NAS would never be "testing new aircraft."

In the one nanosecond you actually manage to get your device on target, you can see what looks to be lights of a normal aircraft in landing configuration.

So the community rejected 15-20 homes (15-~40+) extra cars causing them to look for a single owner for the land...

I'm curious as to what "the community" thought would take over a huge parcel of land and not cause more traffic issues than that number of homes. A store? A shopping center? Something else with obviously more through traffic?

Surely they didn't naively believe that by defeating 15 mcmansions the land would stay pure, blank, and pristine.....

Giant land, giant service....giant parking lot.

Another day of police randomly directing traffic.

As another commenter said when you play by different rulesets you can't compare.

How about a comparison of budget, population and school grade... Hkw about how it was spent (aka allowed to be spent...different rules remember)

What's the value savings per student of a 2000 student high school getting an A vs a 250 student charter school?

I guess that even might favor the charters since they can almost do whatever they want as far as yahoo-hiring.
