I got half a dozen of these last week and they were all from a country code in the Philippines. I'm not in the Philippines.

Ah I got crocd

Honest typo. I keep using the swipe keyboard even though it sucks

I honestly have no idea if there are pictures because I listened to it, but it does have a pretty accessible breakdown of their anatomy, physiology, and evolutionary biology. Like David Attenborough, but with more words instead of video, and more of the author's story.

Check out the book (or audiobook) Endless Forms by Seirian Sumner! It's a fascinating exploration of the different kinds of wasps and their role in their environments. For example, some figs can only be polite (typo: pollinated) but a certain species of wasp and some wasps use antibacterial compounds to coat their nests.

This is why I mostly stay out of that conversation. I don't know enough about the history or politics or general demographics of the region to have an informed and nuanced perspective. I just know it's not good

I tried to read the Fountainhead twice when I was a teenager and I never got more than a third of the way. It felt like watching an old person try to remember their shopping list

Sounds like job creation to me

Oh HELL yes

I chose this. I've got my undergrad and 10 years of work experience. This has been a developing plan for the past 8 years, so it's not an uninformed decision and it's not anyone else's expectation.

But yes, you shouldn't do something just because someone said so

The only time I truly feel alive

The day I beat him, I fought him for something like 6 straight hours. Plus the several previous days trying

Glock Saint flashbacks

I've actually always wanted one solely for the sake of one. Only took an extra 10 years to figure out which I wanted it to be. However, I EMPHATICALLY do not want to get stuck in academia

As someone getting ready to use grad school to change careers, should I be worried

Solid win for my depression

This is my fourth semester teaching at a university and about every other lesson turns into me soapboxing about context.

Yup, looks like resin to me. But I agree, they're good for wargaming

You're going to want to consider layer height. The layer height on FDM printers can be set usually between .12mm to .28mm. You need to look at your models and their actual sizes and see if any features will fall within that range. Depending on the print orientation, those will likely not resolve.

If you want higher resolution, you probably want a resin printer. They have more fidelity through screen resolution and the layer height can generally be between .025mm and .1mm. But they're more expensive and the resin is more expensive than just about any filament.

For 2cm model with a .2mm layer height, you're looking at like 20 layers with an FDM printer. With a resin printer and 0.5mm layer height, closer to 50 layers.

With a 2cm tall figure, in my opinion, you'll have issues getting the resolution you want on any printer. Expect to spend a lot of time troubleshooting and calibrating and troubleshooting and recalibrating.

I'll be happy to be proven wrong!

This is exactly why I love Lemmy. I noticed it within hours of quitting reddit. The sheer volume of content on Reddit, plus the algorithms, kept my attention for hours. Lemmy just isn't that big and probably 60% of the content I see is in swedish, gerrman, or dutch, which I can't read, so I spend like 15 or 20 minutes max here and then go do something else.
