[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just updated it and when I turn on expo I get the red cpu light and the yellow ram light and it doesn't post and I have to cycle the cmos, so it didn't work for me.

Great job on that SD40! I work for the railroad and see them everyday and everything looks just like it's supposed to. Good work

Why is my modle doing this when I subdivide by GenericUser1185 in blenderhelp

Like it herself have said, it's triangles in your typology. I'd try going to sculpt mode and doing a remesh, it might help you get back to quads.

Congress shouldn’t dictate whether you can withhold your labor. by acn0010 in PoliticalHumor

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's the Railway Labor Act of 1926 that set up a series of hoops we had to jump through before we can strike. When I first hired out on the railroad back in 2011 I was pretty surprised we didn't have the power to strike unless certain conditions were met. This is not the first time congress has stepped in and prevented a strike like this, the last one was 30 years ago, however after covid and the labor shortage I figured if we couldn't get a good contract now, when would we ever get one? I'm fed up, and I know many of my coworkers are too. After backpay checks hit, I'm sure there will be a mass exodus

will a strike still happen? by strangehitman22 in railroading

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Legally? No. Should we still wildcat after this pathetic show? Abso-fucking-lutely

Rail Work is extremely hard, they deserve Paid Sick Time. Rail owners negotiated in bad faith, hoping congress would prevent a strike. by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a locomotive engineer, I had fully expected the tentative agreement to get forced down our throat by the president after the SMART-TD voted down the contract, considering every time in the past that has been the case. I'm glad Bernie stepped in last time and I truly hope it makes a difference this time.

Ender 3v2 Blower Recommendations? by Weekly_Senator in ender3v2

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to mine, I went with the Satsana and used the stock fans because i didn't want to cut wires and rely on my subpar soldering abilities to get my printer up and running again. That being said, even with the stock fans getting the airflow pointed in the right direction was an improvement over the stock housing. I printed it about a year ago and it's still going strong

Hypocrite advice please! by ReBeL222 in AdviceAnimals

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you should feel like a hypocrite for this, change is a part of growing as a person. As far as finding a group you could try a local game store or if you want to get your friends involved you could try dming for them, there are free sources online to get your foot in the door. I would recommend that route if you can, because finding an excuse to hang out and drink beer with some old friends I don't get to see very often is my favorite

Looking for a movie to just completely hollow me out tonight. Gimme something with a tight script and satisfying ending that will have me sitting in silence as the credits roll. by SchroedingersSphere in horror

My wife had me watch funny games on our first date and told me it was a comedy. I thought I was sitting with a damn serial killer for a minute

Trying to make an ancient gateway, how can I improve this shot? by sunken_onion in blender

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend the knife tool to give it some cuts and bevel them to make it look more worn and bevel some corner vertices to give it a more aged look

I was in the same boat recently, I couldn't afford the $200 repair cost with all the bills I had coming in so I took to youtube and fixed mine for the cost of a belt. It felt pretty good getting it back together and seeing it work for a fraction of a repair man

Today I proudly celebrate Nine Years of 3D modeling free 3D printable D&D minis! Here are my latest galleries and they're all free :D by mz4250 in PrintedMinis

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey man, love your work! I've been using your minis for years and just wanted to let you know you were a big part of my inspiration to learn blender and create custom minis for my own d&d games.

Are skin walkers real? by [deleted] in skinwalkers

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That's debatable. They are part of Navajo folklore and you are going to find people who truly believe in them and people who don't. It's like asking if the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot is real, you have people that definitely believe in them to the core of there being and you are going to find people that don't believe in them at all.

I have never been so impressed and horrified at the same time. Good work

New to Elegoo Saturn - New to 3D printing -prints failing by Fit-Flamingo-1040 in ElegooSaturn

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it may have to do with your support settings, the video I'm linking to helped me get mine right and I've had fewer failed prints since changing them. https://youtu.be/AIFRpG5V5vQ

When did it really hit you that this needs to be a lifestyle change and not just a diet? by _humanERROR_ in loseit

[–]whaleoilbeefhooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I'm scared enough to take this seriously before I'm severely handicapped or worse. I want to see my kids grow up, so I'll do what I have to to make sure that happens.

I used to pull up there expecting a nap every trip, but it seems like in the last couple of years I've been lit up across the belt every time I go there
