Qatar, Austria could lose races over track limit problems, says FIA
  • Seems like an odd take to me. The drivers are the ones colouring outside the lines. Why should the track change?

    Make the off track penalty harsher. At some point (10, 20, 30seconds?) whatever gain a driver may get from going off will be completely cancelled.

    Could also remotely cap the power to the car by 20% for a lap.

  • What has been the best therapy modality or style that has helped you with psychological issues
  • A patchwork of things has helped me acquire and maintain a more balanced life. I’d say the largest contributor was adopting ‘radical acceptance’ as a way of life. Basically, I’m constantly, consciously accepting whatever is happening to me. It doesn’t mean I don’t try to change things but it means that I’m not always resisting everything.

  • A 47-year mortgage? They're out there — and even longer ones could be coming
  • Unless monthly payments on renting from the bank are lower than renting from someone else it’s a worse deal. If you rent you don’t need to worry about things like replacing roof, windows, etc.

    Also, if you rent you’re more free to pick up and leave vs. being tied to a mortgage.

  • Are we voting with our wallets to overheat the planet?
  • For a lot of people it does have to be that way though. I just saw an article claiming 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. They can’t really decide to take the more expensive climate friendly way. A billionaire could absolutely decide to do that though.

  • Are we voting with our wallets to overheat the planet?
  • Horse shit. No one gets that wealthy without making some anti climate decisions. That class of people have the power to make significant sacrifice for the better while normal folks have the power to make very tiny sacrifices.

    Not saying we shouldn’t all be doing our best but at this point in time the ones with power are steering the ship.

  • Feels like a lot of culture creep. Some of these wing nuts talk about the first amendment as if we have that here. Some of them also seem to think that our Prime Minister has presidential powers. I think the “fuck Trudeau” flags are a rip off of the “fuck Biden” flags too.

  • Good call on a deep clean. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I think it’s a lot of trial and error for most people at the beginning.

    That piece on the FEP sheet is where it let go from the supports when the build plate lifted. More support will probably fix that.

    I always think about what’s happening when I’m doing supports. The resin gets cured on the FEP then the build plate moves up and pulls that layer off the FEP. The part is being pulled by forces in opposite directions so we need to make sure that the part hanging on to the build plate is sufficiently anchored so it’ll pop off the FEP and not off the build plate.

  • I started resin printing a couple months ago. I had some of those layer problems too. I found that I need way more supports than I thought I needed at the beginning. This is a pretty good guide on supoorts. Alternately Ive been using lychee slicer’s auto supports. They seem to work well for the most part.

    I also just recently did some exposure tests. It takes a while because each test is about 20 minutes but it turns out I was under exposing my prints so things are better now.

    Lastly I replaced the usb stick the printer came with. I highly recommend doing this right away, a bad stick can do weird things. I got two 64gb Kingston data travellers for $10 Canadian. It’s well worth it.

    Haven’t had the layer issues since I did these things and, fingers crossed, I haven't had a failed print since either.

  • Did BC Need to End Letter Grades on Report Cards? | The Tyee
  • “Percentage grades make it possible to differentiate between good work and excellent work more precisely than vague descriptors such as ‘emerging’ and ‘developing,”

    This is a dumb take. No one in grade k-9 needs more specificity than the four labels coupled with teacher input. I suspect the people who are against this change are simply against change.

  • Ideas on how to get a better surface?

    Do I have to sand or is there some magic I’m not aware of?

    I don’t know how these asset packs work. Could I get .stl files from them?

    anycubic photon mono x2, brand new FEP sheet, what can cause this kind of failure?

    The print didn’t finish because of a corrupt file apparently (that’s what the printer told me). I’m wondering what causes that big gap between the layers.
