Umm, disclaimer, no experience with 3D printing, but…

Could humidity or dust on the print bed perhaps be an issue?

I haven’t been thinking much on gaming over the past week, but you reminded me that a couple weeks ago I started up the old classic for Windows 3.11…

Castle of the Winds

I’ve got it in a savestate in a virtual machine right now. Despite the game looking like it was drawn by a 5 year old and not having any audio whatsoever, it’s actually a pretty good game for 1993 when it was made and released.

Is there any reason you can’t make the model in two separate pieces instead, with the floor and sides as one print, and the roof as another print, to either be glued or clipped together?

I’d think that would avoid the warping problem altogether, plus save wasted filament. Though in all fairness, it would still be nice to learn what’s causing the warping anyways, for sake of future prints…

The explosion incident happened early Tuesday morning. Fuck its been a long week, I should probably get a shower…

His insurance actually is helping, to fix the two vehicles next to it that also got sideburn damage. They won’t be covering his vehicle though, that’s a total loss ☹️

Although I can’t eliminate all possibilities, something really seems very wrong about this, arson seriously suspected.

3 times, still no dice. Maybe we should try some starter fluid…

All jokes aside, every pressurized canister of stuff in the trunk survived, including the can of starter fluid. All evidence so far shows it clearly straight up exploded, under the hood, in front of the firewall, and the fire traveled backwards from there.

Thank goodness nobody was hurt.

The car next to it is the neighbor’s car.

The other neighbor’s car on the other side (not pictured) is also a bit damaged. But at least both their vehicles are still drivable.

Roommate is in a conundrum and stuck on the phone with insurance, friends, family, maintenance people, etc.

Gotta figure out how to get this lump of scrap metal hauled out either today or really soon. My mom loaned me her beater car for the time being…

I love the black text on basically black background in dark mode, basically unreadable. Thanks color coordinators, no sense of legibility and visual contrast, well done! /s

Edit: Is 100% unreadable in Jerboa, black text on black background.

Fair game, cool cool 👍

I can’t exactly use my dad’s birthday though, I’m saving his other critical numbers in memory for emergency use…

Better off using a more or less random date, or perhaps February 30th…

True, but I don’t exactly have a spare system to experiment with like that, and I ain’t about to mess with my stable Linux Mint laptop all that much.

Though agelesslinux definitely seems like a fair game tweak script…

Here ya go, fuckit, you get my real name. I died in 1955…

I obtained my Linux install media before this shit came into question. My current daily laptop runner is Linux Mint MATE 20.3 Una.

I don’t exactly reinstall or update every time updates come out, I wait and see…

And yes, my distro uses systemd, but I ain’t about to update what works for me until I sort out the fallout of all this shit.

If everyone punches 1/1 as birthdate, then their stats literally flag you as a risk and probably lying about your age, because so many others followed this otherwise simple advice.

You’ll get flagged quicker than anyone as a suspicious person.

Yeah that sounds fun, read through a million lines of code to tweak a few constants and variables, because you can’t access the internet anymore to research the code before you fix the code yourself?

What’s the end game here?

Let’s not play that ‘pretty sure’ card here, provide actual information links supporting your position, or just shut the fuck up.

I’m only upvoting this to help visibility to others that sort/browse by Hot/Top/Popular or whatever.

This is a disgrace to Linux!

Aside from Pennywise the clown, honestly I have no idea.

Personally, I’ve never found clowns to be funny nor something to be feared.

Cool beans!

Speaking of, can beer or wine be made with beans? 🤔

I have no idea, obviously it takes time to brew. But whatever you come up with, keep us updated…

Nah, not boiled, we just experimented the good old fashioned daddy don’t give a shit redneck way, with a 5 gallon water jug, plain old bread yeast, sugar, and whatever random fruits or berries he came across on the cheap.

He started with elderberries, then went on to try strawberries, blueberries, watermelon and bananas.

Surprisingly, even though he did things totally redneck style without all the proper equipment, I think around 3/4 of his batches came out alright. Not the finest of wines, but we got drunk on the cheap LOL! 🥂

Random idea we never tried: Technically tomatoes are considered a fruit, what would tomato wine taste like?.. 🤔

We tried brewing watermelon and banana wine before. I forget which one, but one of those didn’t last long before it started turning more vinegary…

But now you perked my interest, SPAM wine?..
