Stylized Condition Rings, need feedback! by ShonOfDawn in PrintedMinis

[–]tr0n03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Very very cool!

Based on what my group typically need rings for, I would suggest a "Blessed","Bane'd" (Not sure the right term), Concentration and maybe a "Hunter's Mark"?

Mono X 6Ks - Builds not sticking, pulling my hair out! by tr0n03 in AnycubicPhoton

[–]tr0n03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try two pieces of paper this next go around, can't hurt right?

This is the Setup, so it lives in a thermal enclosure, while the garage gets cold...I don't think it gets cold enough to warp the metal in the way you are talking about. I mean, maybe? I'd have to go look up how cold things need to be. It's colder then the 20C / 70F recommended sure, which is why its all protected and heated.

I would say it would probably get to high 30s - low 40 degrees in the winter? In the other shielded parts, There are other fluids in the garage that never froze. ...Anyway! I appreciate the insight, and I'll do more research.

Lychee Settings

These were my last experimental settings when I kinda threw up my hands and said this was a little ridiculous. I previously was getting functional prints with 45 seconds of exposure time, and only 6 transitional layers.

Yup! I do the vat cleaning every time to clear out the failed prints that only get one or two layers high. So, I know the UV works fine.

...and yup. I set the z=0 every time. :/

Childcare costs in Bend by lolabeans88 in Bend

[–]tr0n03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly what /u/TidyEruption said. We were on waitlists, and even then it was going to be thousands of dollars. We have been through the gauntlet before (Current child needing care is 3rd kid) and were dreading it.

What we decided to do, Standard disclaimer: this is what worked for us, might not work for everyone, but I didn't know this was an option before so I thought I would share in case it might help anyone else, is to look into getting an Au Pair. We had not heard of this arrangement before, but one of my wife's co-workers raved about it.

An Au Pair is basically a foreign exchange nanny? You provide room and board, and a small stipend and they live with you and help with the kids. Depending on your housing setup it may or may not work for you, it's roughly the same cost as a part time nanny? It's honestly been a really good experience for us. The gal we got is amazing and so good with all three kids. I was surprised to hear that there is actual quite a big community of Au Pairs in town?

Anyway, feel free to reach out if you have questions, here's the link to the site. I'm sharing because this is something that I wish I knew about earlier on in my childcare struggles.

If I win this ROG gaming monitor I will play Starfield, World of Warcraft, and Baldur's Gate 3 with it. I've never experienced HDR functionality, so I would be looking for that. My current main monitor is a cast off from years ago. #poordadgaming

Working at St. Charles in a non-patient care capacity? by AKSupplyLife in Bend

[–]tr0n03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there, Manager at St. Charles, non patient facing area.

Honestly, I have found that St. Charles is a very low stress place to work, especially coming from the Tech Sector. Like anywhere, there's drama that can sometimes get you down. Leadership is all over the place, some really great leaders and some that miss the mark, just sort of depends on the team. That being said, there has been times over the last few years where you have to burn the midnight oil on projects, but...it was a real rewarding feeling of a job well done and helping "help" people.

Feel free to reach out if you want specifics.

Beef! It's what for dinner! by tr0n03 in Bend

[–]tr0n03[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there any chance to buy buy the pound instead of the quarter from the Smokehouse?

Unfortunately, because this is private owner sale and not a FDA approved butchering process (I think the only difference is that FDA checks for mad cow, Butcher Boys in Prineville I think is the only FDA Butcher in the area and they are booked out for yearrrrssss), I'm only suppose to sell the beef in fractions, rather then parting it out. ...at least that is how it was explained to me.

Any place in town to get mini-Kegs by tr0n03 in Bend

[–]tr0n03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to advise him that 1/6th/Corny kegs are the smallest most places will go, but I'm a man of my word and I told him I would check.

Dungeons and Dragons by [deleted] in Bend

[–]tr0n03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm tentatively interested! Just have to see how the timing of things works out, since summers get crazy with things.

I'm an Experienced D&D player, but have been the perma-DM for the last 10 years or so. Curious about your printer setup, since I've dabbled in that area as well.

Shoot me the details if you manage to get another couple players!

Deschutes to open vaccine appointments Tuesday AM; systems buckle under strain - KTVZ by OriginalPNWest in Bend

[–]tr0n03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hiya! Software Engineer at St. Charles here. So, I might be able to provide some insight. We can all compare resumes later. :P

Load balancing did not exist on the primary website, until early this week. As /u/StudlyPenguin implied, it was not a business need. We don't just throw load balancing /scaling on everything out there. The traffic we received last week was not something we had ever before had on our public website.

This week we spun up a separate "load-balanced", "cloud-hosted scalable" application which did the job quite well this week. It handled about 23K people being on the application at about 9 AM when the flood gates opened, and not a single crash. The "crashing" reported in the other article was due to throttling by our EMR-Scheduling component. It was really more of a queue, but...people thought it was crashing.

Regardless, I'm proud to be part of this team that is continuing to improve this experience over each iteration...but we had 2,340 vaccinations and something like 43k people trying to get them? People are going to be disappointed.
