The injuries will be spectacular.

It's been working just fine for 4 years. Never had an issue with it as long as I configure my torrent client settings to only use NordLynx in case it drops off.

So did the teacher get back to them? Was a secret communist club started? They can't just leave the story thread hanging like that.

It works quite well. A lot of sites I visit can detect if a server I'm using is from a VPN and block it but it's quick and painless to hop to a different server the site doesn't recognize and passes me through. Using it in Linux is fine and all but it has the annoying habit of blocking my subnet so I can't download torrents directly to my NAS drive.

California's already suffered plenty under the dipshit's leadership of ICE. I got to see the aftermath of an ICE raid in a busy commercial Latino street. The place was dead when it should've been bustling with delivery vans, people, and opened businesses. It was devastating.

Curious. The N91790 tail designation on that sculpture doesn't quite match up with the Cessna that's still in use in Florida. I wonder if the FAA recycles their numbers.

There's no right answer to that question. The only winning move is not to play.

Elementary is a great modern day Sherlock Holmes series. Way better than BBC's contemporary counterpart IMO.

Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, King of the Hill, The Man in the High Castle, Hot Fuzz, Gattaca, Office Space, Star Trek TNG.

As an American I envy Canadian's choice of beers with higher alcohol content. Most breweries around here only offer IPAs if you want anything above 6%.

Because they're the ones with the monopoly on violence. Might makes right for those brutes.

Well crap my username announces my age.

  • What do I do to make it more than a trinket printer.

CAD is just a tool. You can use it to make more trinkets yourself or create a special bed basket, custom camera bracket, etc. If you see something at work or home that could benefit from a product that doesn't exist yet, you might be able to design and print a fixture for it.

  • Why should I get a printer.

Unless you're constantly coming up with things to print then you don't. Plenty of libraries offer free 3d printing services but keep in mind you get what you pay for. If you're lucky, some universities or hacker spaces might let you use their printers and are of generally higher quality.

  • Should I skip the owning part and just use commercial 3d print shops?

It gets expensive very quickly. Most commercial places I've dealt with for work will rip you off because they're targeting industries that have more money than common sense. I once needed to print a few simple boxes with ESD safe filament and they wanted over 400 dollars for just one. A lower end prusa costs the same as 3 of those prints so it made more sense for us to purchase our own printer and filament and make it ourselves. The cost of making additional fixtures plummeted too once we considered avoiding some traditionally machined parts in favor of printed ones.

 

I'm trying to install either a .deb or .rpm driver for a Canon MF212w printer. Unfortunately since CachyOS is an Arch-based OS it lacks a straightforward way to go with the installation. I checked out a few different tutorials on Youtube but they all basically say to not do it their way since it could work but at the cost of messing up some dependencies. Is there a safe way to install either version of this program without damaging any other files or directories?

Hi all. I'm trying out Cachy for the first time and was testing an old game on Steam (Anomaly Warzone Earth). The game went full screen but was stuck in a loading loop where I couldn't Alt+tab or Alt+F4 my way out of. The OS was still responsive and I could open up a terminal but as soon as I did, the game's loading screen would block my view. Is there a way to force minimize or kill a program when it's stuck in full screen? I heard xkill could work but I don't see how to use it when I can't even see the terminal.

 

I just finished a preliminary interview for a medium sized engineering company. The interviewer was impressed with my background and asked to proceed with my candidacy but wanted four additional rounds of interviews and a 30 minute technical presentation about how I solved a problem. I turned them down and said I don't work for free, the amount of time it would take to gather my notes and thoughts on a slide deck would be too much. She quickly soured and we ended the call soon after. I feel like I dodged a bullet going through a gauntlet of work for the high chance of ending up with nothing.

What are Lemmy's thoughts on preparing presentations for lengthy job interview processes? Would you have considered going through with it?

 

Just finished installing the under frame. I'm so reluctant to add on the armor and have been taking weeks having the figure sit in the back of the kitchen table while admiring the details when eating.

 

Hello, I recently bought an old Lenovo Thinkpad X130e (ca. 2012) and tried installing Linux Mint ver. 22.1 Xfce edition into the laptop's HDD and received a "Linux Mint unable to install GRUB in dev/sda" error that only let me boot into a GRUB terminal after rebooting. Is there an easily available installation guide/manual for this laptop I could take a look at? I've tried adjusting the BIOS' UEFI/boot settings but haven't had any luck. I figure there's a way to manually configure the HDD to have a bootable partition during installation but I'm not sure what I'm doing exactly.

UPDATE: Finally fixed the issue. I rebooted on the USB stick iso after the latest GRUB install error and ran the Boot Repair utility from the start menu. It automatically fixed the issue and was able to successfully boot without the USB. Hopefully this helps someone if they run into a similar issue later.

 

Back in the 80's, Atari had a monopoly of games and charged absurd amounts of money for titles that pretty much had no quality control. The cost of each cartridge would easily go over $100 in today's money and gamers began to pull back on purchasing anything. This eventually culminated in the infamous E.T. movie tie in that led to pallets of its unsold cartridges ending up in a landfill and crashing the industry.

Now that Nintendo's signaled to the rest of the industry it's okay to sell digital titles at $80 each, how soon do you see gamers collectively hold back on their purchases that will eventually collapse the AAA market? Will the current trade war play a role in the hardware side of things with the collapse? Will all major companies save Nintendo suffer the downturn?

 

I'm planning to go to a rural spot that has a Bortle class 3 night sky around Southern California. Can anyone recommend a beginner friendly telescope with decent magnification for around $200? I'm not interested in using an accompanying smart phone app to go with it either. I'd like to see nebulae and galaxies the most. Thank you.

 

There should be a kind of "sorting hat" personality test to attract the interest of prospective Lemmy joiners. People who love solarpunk stuff, for example, would easily find their home in slrpnk.net. Set a link to it on sites like join-lemmy.org to make the fediverse more approachable to casuals.

 

 

I followed the maintenance guide and applied belt lube as instructed. Friction eventually caused the motor to overheat. Support said they meant to include using all 4 ounces of lube that came with it at a time. I'll be getting a new drive board to replace the burnt out one soon. Yep.
