I actually love layer lines, it's such a distinctive look and feel that few other things have. I keep a second profile for my printer that prints at 0.4/0.2 just for that feel.

My insurance won't cover it so I have to take Novemugust...

And you're going to make the decision based on that and someone who would have gotten food or saved for medicine, or only needed that $5 to get a room night doesn't get there. I'm not here to police that, all I know is I have, they don't, and if I have something to give I should.

Oh yeah, you can get printing immediately, even make some really good stuff, but I'm taking about the people who think they can pick up some bunk diy thing and bag of pla and get professional resin detail on their first go.

"Don't give that guy money, he'll just use it to buy drugs"

I'm just going to use it to buy chocolate, fuck does it matter if it's his addict or mine? At least I still have a house to eat my chocolate in.

Oh man, I can and do make a lot of wild things on my printer, but I can't count the number of times I've had to talk people out of this as a hobby. I've had my box for 7 years, I've completely redesigned the print head, the fan assembly, the extruders, the feed method, the bed, basically everything but the body of the printer. You are not going to drop $200 on marketplace and start printing miniatures this weekend. You are not going to replace all the hardware in your house with printed parts. You are not going to print an armory of ghost guns.

This isn't sci-fi replicators, this is at best goblin artifice.

I got to sit through a photos and editing class as a para last year and I learned so much about it! I really wish film was easier to get developed because I have this beautiful 60 year old agfamatic that I adore using and now I actually know how to adjust for lighting and angle, different framing techniques, and everything, but I still can't afford to develop the shots.

Yeah, but with a unique leveling system and PvP.

Yeah. I even wanted to include an account based scanner for loot. You'd be able to scan barcodes and qr to get loot, battles, and stuff, but after the first scan it would remember and lock that reward so you could reclaim it daily.

I imagined players keeping little collections of barcodes so you could easily reclaim useful loot and when players meet in the wild they could scan up each others collections to get codes they may hot have found in the wild.

Digimon.

I have to carry my phone with me everywhere I go, I want a little guy that is personal and unique to me, it gets points for stuff I do, and them I can battle with other people who have their own little guys.

Pokémon go doesn't cut it for me, the battle isn't Pokemon. The games are great but it's me playing the guy not me being the guy.

I have the whole thing on paper but learning the programming to make it is discouraging and I'm already in college and writing full time

I mean yeah, I'd say 250k is a lot for a 3rd party phone OS.

It does, but a lot of people but the pixels specifically to put graphene on it because graphene they're compatible and graphene offers better privacy and security. What I'm getting here is drug dealers are using graphene to dodge digital narcs and it's becoming common enough that the Venn diagram skews heavily to drug dealing.

 

So I'm very new to self hosting. When I set up Ubuntu server and jellyfin it formatted as a logical drive. I can't for the life of me parse how I add the other terabytes worth of disks I have to the machine. Can someone eli5?

 
 

I'm trying to make a pocket pet game, like the evolution of all the little calculator screened toys in the 90's and 00's. I don't want it to be the whale hunting, spyware riddled garbage that most phone games are. I'd rather like to release it on F-Droid instead of Google if I release it at all. I have all of it worked out on paper, from the random tables to the creature stats, to the combat mechanics, you can play it as a pen and paper if you wanted to. Problem is, I'm a pen and paper guy, and I'm having an awful time trying to learn anything about code. Where do I go to get help with this?

 

So I'm sure just about everyone knows "The Cool S". It's ubiquitous in school culture and if you haven't drawn it, you probably know someone who has.

The thing is, no one knows where it came from. Everyone has a cool cousin or older sibling that "invented" it, or claim it's from some group or company, but it always turns up to be false. In fact, the oldest known example is in a book cataloging street art published in 1973. From there it's been found on basically every notebook and lunch table the world over and represents a big niche in childlore.

So here's where I go off the deep end... What if this is actually The Yellow Sign?

The yellow sign is never expressly described in the story, with the weird wiggly one being an artist rendition. However, in The King in Yellow, a character draws it freehand to show someone. Which implies it's easy to freehand which the current one isn't. Furthermore, think of the purpose. The yellow sign is intends to spread Hasturs influence secretly. The current one, while undoubtedly cool, is also strange and stands out. If you're wearing it on your person, it stands out. The S doesn't. I'm writing this on break and there's 3 in this room alone. No one cares.

Now take a moment to consider the vector. The best time to indoctrinate someone is young. Why fight to catch the random mad reader when you can net up whole classrooms in a single day and whole schools in a week? No one takes it seriously because it's a children's doodle. A thing we draw absent-minded as we remember our youth.

For all we know, we're all infected and didn't even know.

 

I've been playing with the terralyst lately and found out that a mediocre velocitus as a call down and on a necromech will take huge chunks off it's health. The necromech is even better because it isn't bothered by all the knock back and stagger.

As I don't have any of the meta frames for eidolon hunts, this has been a bit of a game changer for me and has me wondering how this would stack up with meta options. I've got a Lanka and it's nowhere near as effective even at double the fire rate.

Has anyone else played with this? I'd love to hear other stories on how the new deployables work with hunts.

 
 

Like, could you make a smaller version of a 1911 that fires 22lr instead of .45 by just scaling all the parts to the 22lr?

 

I have some old digital photos that I'd like to bring into modern resolutions, I know ai won't really be the same as doing it by hand but I doubt my grandma will notice. Is there a reliable site or way to use stable diffusion for this?

 
 

Hey has anyone considered making a wine from peppers like jalapeno and sweet pepper?

You'd probably need to add extra sugar, but I bet it could be an interesting flavor.
