Because it’s easy. You don’t have to think for yourself if you let someone else do it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Walking hands?! 😂

Recreating that scene from Casino Royale?

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.

Any time!

If it didn’t print at all I’d be looking at that USB right away. I had many half printed things and corrupted files before I clued in.

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.

Lucky for me I can’t afford a new car anyway. I’ll just keep driving my unconnected car.

Isn’t apple shifting to production in Inda?

How do you go about getting an invite to one of these holy grails?

“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.

BC has an NDP premier.

I’m a parent too and I agree with you for the most part. I’m woefully under qualified for this job and I’m very grateful for the professionals and other adults in my youth’s lives. We’re very much missing the ‘village’ part of raising kids.

I guess not. I just went to their site out of curiosity. I couldn’t find any policy statements. Just a vague mission statement type thing.

Update: they have a policy document from 2021 under their ‘governing documents’ heading on the website. The document doesn’t address this issue at all.
