I'd try raising the temp on the heat bed and maybe on the extrusion for the first layer.

The bed arcs up in the middle when it heats, so it may also be an issue with z offset. If it is 0.35 in the middle, but 0.45 at the edge, you might just need to smoosh the first layer more. Speed also effects first layer, so slowing down sometimes helps.

Find a big flat one layer test print and see what helps. Just don't doal bunch of changes at once.

My dive buddies keep it simple.

If they are out of air and they have time, they will get to me and take my octopus/secondary.

If they need my air and can't wait, they pull my main out of my mouth and Buddy breathe till we figure out who gets what regulator.

Seems simple that way. If they start grabbing my gear, I just wait and see what they want. They know how to buddy breathe, so I just trust them to give it back at some point. If not, I use my octopus.

The dive ends when you get in trouble, so either way you are starting for the surface. So move to upright facing means the length of hose does not matter.

Depression is so very hard. Its unbelievably hard. I spent most of my life depressed. 13 to 50. Not being depressed is weird. I don't know who to live without it. I tried drugs, they made it worse. Suicidal tendencies made it hard to take drugs. My first break was laughing at a kids movie, it was a real laugh. I broke down and cried. It was the beginning of getting rid of depression. Maybe 10 years before I was out of it. Things slowly changed. Lines like, "it is what it is," helped. I work on mindfulness. I avoid thinking about anything that has negative emotions. Really, I avoid thinking. Mostly, you need to change the way you think and behave. I am not the person I was. I act and do things differently. Be willing to change anything to get out of it. Fear of change kept me in it for a long time. Good luck. You are not alone. You might be able to become a survivor. Keep trying.

I agree. I'm just tired of the concept of profanity. It makes no sense to have words that can be used sometimes and not other times. Like don't swear near a lady, or children. Use the word that means what you want to convey. Someday, it will cease to exist.

Picquic multi screwdrivers.

I think it's more of a bell curve. Your ability is somewhere on the up curve. If you practice, it will get higher. I practiced when I was younger. I am a poor shot. I tried later, I'm worse. I am neither eye dominant, so sometimes I hit, sometimes I don't.

Try it. Maybe your good, maybe not. Practice can help you improve, but only if you change.

Used cast iron pans - last lifetimes and can be used for so much. French press - coffee, tea, chicory, herbs, mushrooms ...

Honestly, I can't think of much stuff at a higher piece point that isn't specialized. Useful things tend to be relatively lower cost.

I carried a leatherman for years, but rarely used it. I find an adjustable wrench, picquick, pliers and box cutter more efficient and easier to use.

Although, I really want cool stuff.

I can't think of a clearer or more concise answer.

Reading the thread, I learned what TRT is. I also see that maybe someone learned that search engines do not give the same results to everyone. Which is probably the best we can hope for. On the topic of taking hormones, if you really need it, you should take it. I don't really think that all who take it really need it. I really don't know, just my biased opinion from living in a country that has an economy based upon selling anything. I have a brother who takes it. Maybe for 20 years. He seems to blame all his health problems on other people, rather than the drugs he takes for hair growth and erectile distinction and whatever else he takes. I don't know though. He could be worse without it. Like someone's else said, it reduces your bodies ability to make it, so if you stop taking it, you might have more problems later. I think the problems with athletes taking it, show that it may not be good for you. Wow, I have lots of opinions. Hope that I'm not being an ass and actually contributing to the community.

Sure, that is really the reason for scripting. They are called cron jobs, because they run on a schedule. Its a command called crontab. Unix is all about doing things automatically. Takes a bit of time to set up, but then it does what you want, when you want it. Your going to love it once you use it. Edit: spelling

When Linux boots, it does not always use the first port on the video card. Sometimes the bios will display on the onboard video, then when the kernel boots, it will change to a different video port. I find with multiple video ports, its best to plug in all of them till you figure out which ones work. Nvidia is not well supported, and most video cards have problems in Linux. Generally, if you have to use a proprietary driver, it will have specific issues. The free drivers will just be buggy. Best is to see what cards are known to work well. There are maintained, well there used to be, lists of hardware that works well. If you installed proprietary drivers, they are often difficult to remove. There is not always instructions on how to uninstall. So part of your problems might be the drivers.

So that would be just a script in Linux. Bash, the shell for the command line, allows for scripting. Its like a simple program that you can set to run at times. Might take a few tries to get it right, but a little reading and a few tries anyone could get something like that working.

 

I've been on here a while, but didn't realize that I could connect with locals on here. I found a post from 2 years ago with a bunch of people saying hello. So I thought I'd see if I could get it again. Just post an intro, nothing fancy, unless your feeling fancy. I'm Scot. I live in Parchment. I'm into linux, free software, humanism, gardening, scuba, arduino and 3d printing. I don't have time for my hobbies.

 

Tonight in #kalamazoo is the weekly Kalamazoo #Linux Users Group. I have been going again lately. It is a nice old group that has been holding on for more than 10 years by the one and only Lynden Kirk. If you happen to be in #swmi, #westmi, #battlecreek come out and join us.

So it is tuesday nights at 6pm(18 for the rest of the world) at Kzoo Makers 1102 E. Michigan Ave. Kalamazoo, MI 49048

 

I really like the look of seersucker, but I'm color blind. So I don't see reds well, so no purple. The question really is, do I just pick anything, or do I need to match the blue?
