This was my first thought too.

Technically not hair.

Hoyvin-glavin! A fun fact, before his first appearance on The Simpsons Profesor Frink had spent a short time working as a character for hire. This is from one of his early appearances in The Far Side.

Somewhere off scene in the turbolift during ST III...

Bones: “Did she change her face?”

Kirk: “I hadn’t noticed.”

Ameglian_Major_Cow

the Cow was the Dish of the Day at Milliways, which arrived when Zaphod Beeblebrox (accompanied by Arthur, Ford, and Trillian) requested to 'meet the meat'. It was described as a large dairy animal, a "large fat meaty quadruped of the bovine type." It was said to have large watery eyes, as well as small horns and what might have been an ingratiating smile on its lips. The creature seems peaceful and at ease, and at one point is described to have "mooed."

The creature offers Zaphod and his party his shoulder, braised in a white wine sauce, then goes on to offer other parts of its body, having worked hard to fatten itself up through force-feeding itself for months. Eventually, after Arthur and Trillian have expressed their shock and Ford has expressed his disinterest, Zaphod requests four rare steaks and the Dish of the Day goes off to shoot himself, telling Arthur not to worry, as he says "I'll be very humane."[1]

Obligatory...

Was looking for classic Halloween music mixes on YouTube Music the other day while carving pumpkins with my daughter. A few well known songs came up and then all of a sudden songs that were not Halloween songs started playing in the list (some were regular well ( own pop songs). I let it go on for a few minutes and started seeing a theme that the non-halloween song had a often repeated word that was associated with Halloween... Demon, spirit, spooky... So AI generated playlists based on keywords?

Then came along AI generated "Halloween classic" songs that sounded as if they were from the 1950's. They were ok, but annoying knowing that it was just slop.

If you don't go into it looking for a challenging and thoughtfully laid out story and just want to be entertained, you will enjoy them. The director wants you to feel like you were in a audience at a magic show by reminding you constantly that while you were looking over here the actual trick was being done over there and if you had paid closer attention you could have pieced the puzzle that was the movie together. Except that of course what we are shown is only the distraction and the trick is only explained later on for the benefit of the story and to make the characters seem extremely intelligent and competent.

It is a bit tropeish as you know that somehow even when all the cards are down (is this a pun as we are talking about magicians?) they will somehow pull it off in the end and be successful.

Think the Ocean's 11 series of movies with magicians.

VLDL - Viva La Dirt League did a couple videos like this...

All were obviously 3D printed. Layer lines were very clean. Even saw a kid walking around with one in hand hugging his parents to buy it for him.

 

Printing a BD-1 droid from Star Wars; Fallen Order/Survivor at 300% (Printables). Noticed that the filament was running really low and needed to be choosey about what part I printed next. I feel I choose wisely.

 

It's not wrong.

 

Woke up early today and the first thought through my head was ... Hey, the Pixel 9 Fold Pro is going to be available today. So I jumped on the site and found it... backordered until mid October.

Anyone else able to get one on T-Mo or another service or are they backordered from Google themselves?

A coven (according to Google, that is the correct grouping for wizards) of 15 Harry Potter figurines ready for my daughter's 7th birthday party to be colored in by her & her friends using some paint pens.

 

So my daughter is loving her new Ender 2 Pro and printing out Harry Potter figurines to paint. We have been using acrylic paint pens (easier at this age), they have been good, not great. We are having a Harry Potter themed b-day party for her and her friends. I am going to print out a batch of Harry, Ron, and Hermione characters for them all to paint after the play time limit at the trampoline park ends.

was wondering... What kid friendly paint works best for PLA?

 

I am pleased to follow up to this post with an update that the Tie-Fighters now all have engines and am halfway done with the solar collectors frames.

 

... for my daughter and the neighbor kids. All scaled to 200%.

Going to throw on some fun colors for the canopies and solar collectors.

Overture Black Sovol White Overture Space Grey Overture Dual Color Silk Red/Gold

 

Good day! I am running a Klipperized Sovol SV06+ and have been getting some really great prints. I am however having an issue where lately I am having to adjust the Z offset with each new print. I did a first layer calibration and got a perfect result but after a couple prints I saw I needed to lower it to get a good first layer. Again I printed a few and then again I needed to lower it. This has happened a few times.

Yesterday I was printing a pretty large print and midway through the extruder shifted (the print remained secure to the bed) and continued printing. After I canceled the print I had to lower the Z offset much further than I thought was possible. I am concerned that the bed keeps "lowering".

I have a very good bed mesh loaded (used the silicone bed leveling mid I have seen discussed). I am just unsure why this is needing to be adjusted and why the last print went wonky (related?)

Thanks much!
