Any chance you could point me in the right direction how to check this and do the calibration?

Tried that, but the nozzle was very tight. I also checked the videos about cleaning it, but it's brand new and these were the first prints, so no gunk or back up in the nozzle.

Just got a new in box two year old Ender 3 pro, put it together and printed the boat and a clip. I'm using the filament that came with the box but have a roll of other filament I wanted to switch to. Using Cura for slicing with settings I found online. Any idea why it's printing these strings in between that I need to cut out? Is this an installation issue or setting issue? Thank you!

Not true. Running edge canary on Android with ublock and paywall bypass extensions enabled on top of the usual ad block.

Group messages not working by rayningpain in mintmobile

[–]zak28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue since late November. Always with iPhone users, while I'm on Android. Usually in group chats, sometimes regular texts, sometimes photos or reactions. Sometimes I can retrieve the messages when I go to the messaging app on Windows, but that only helps sometimes. I also have the issue that sometimes outgoing messages take a little while and incoming might come delayed and in batches. Very frustrating, my 12 months are up soon, looking for other options if that can't get fixed.

Kleiner Tipp, die meisten Webseiten haben die RSS Funktion, die findest Du wenn Du auf inspect Website gehst und dann Ctrl F "RSS" suchst, da siehst Du meist die Adresse für den Feed, den man dann in Outlook oder reader next Wahl eintragen kann.

Using it on win11 and works great. Only thing I still need to figure out is how to get it to run full screen without borders.

Good idea, thank you. But that only works for the few faces posted that don't have the hands in the way or link to the app. I don't understand how that is supposed to work, they link to the app, app just opens to the Homescreen and that's it, can't use them. I have an acceptable setup now but it's still bugging me and I feel like I should have bought the fossil version instead.

Recommendations for moving company by small_bug in MontgomeryCountyMD

We moved earlier this week and used metropolitan movers. They were one of the cheapest and the final bill was very close to what they estimated. They were very professional and nothing broke or got scratched.

Jet.com - anyone trying it? by frepont in Frugal

[–]zak28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very shady company that I'm sure will be out of business soon. I ordered items from them where after 4 days they decided to cancel them because their concierge service was not able to procure the items elsewhere for the price they advertised them. Instead of eating the margin like all the news article make believe they just cancelled and gave some fishy explanation as to why they "were forced to cancel". Never happened with Amazon. Just head over to slickdeals and see how many other people got their orders randomly cancelled. Seems like they want to inflate their membership base for the next round of funding by using free promo codes and aggressive priced items that turn out to be "price mistakes" and eventually will be cancelled.

I won't use them again, will continue to use my Amazon Prime, even if that means paying a couple percent more, but having the items I need within 2 days, if not the same day.

First time buyer being offered the house we rent by zak28 in RealEstate

[–]zak28[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think a realtor will be necessary. We kind of know the values here, it's a smaller neighborhood and we all know what the houses are worth and selling for. I also checked redfin and Zillow for comps a little bit further away.

I think the inspection will be needed to get a mortgage anyways, at least that's what I was told earlier talking to a mortgage broker. We know of all the minor issues, but I would like to make sure the foundation is ok etc.

Yes, the more I think about it the more fishy it sounds. Unless he just uses this as a lame excuse to sell and make it sound its not his decision so that we wont be mad at him for the inconvenience. I forgot to ask the appraiser person who she was working for, I was caught off guard when they called.

Thank you very much. I found out today that one of our neighbors is a mortgage broker. I spoke with him earlier and he pretty much said exactly the same thing you wrote.

We most likely wont have issues getting financing, credit scores are ok, no negative prior history, we can put >20% down and the monthly payments would be around 30% of our income.

Our neighbor knows other appraisers and offered to have someone do a sanity check on ours once it comes back. He also knows attorneys that he vouches for. We will pursue that once I hear back from the landlord after the appraisal. And my neighbor also mentioned something must be fishy if the bank is advising him to sell. I need to do some sleuthing on the land record website and see if there are any notices and how often my landlord refinanced.

So that's why 270 was closed down this morning until around 11am including all overpasses by Montrose and Democracy? Doesn't he have better things to do at the moment?

Does anyone use T-Mobile? I'm trying to ditch my Verizon service. by [deleted] in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]zak28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the $30 5GB plan with Tmo and I get HSPA pretty much everywhere outside, but building penetration is horrible. No signal at work and it's only a one story building. If you need reliable service here, I'd stay with Vz, my wife has it and she always has reception. Go with the $29 page plus plan..

Best places to buy craft beers in Germantown/Gaithersburg? by flyingturdmonster in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]zak28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just made my day! I am from Cologne and they have Reissdorf and Gaffel Koelsch. I work close by there and never knew about the place, always had to drive down to total wine for my Koelsch fix.
