  • Oh, that just pissed me off.

    Couple weeks ago I was at a bachelor's party, to which a number of people had brought Magic decks. I knew nothing about the game (never even watched a video), made this clear, and said that I just wanted to watch everyone else play.

    Someone handed me a deck and said, "no buddy, you're playing!" I protested, but it was fruitless. I'd been roped in; and I was excited! A group of people excited to show a new player their hobby.

    The guy that handed me the deck then proceeded to explain nothing and get increasingly frustrated when I had no idea what he meant when he'd say "uh, no you have to UNTAP your cards first.. ok now tap them.. yeah I know you just untapped them but tap them 😠🙄" (I still do not know what the point of turning my cards sideways for two seconds was but I guess it's super important?)

    The other two players were fairly intoxicated and probably didn't pick up on the toxicity, but the whole table was frustrated with how God awfully slow the game was taking since the new guy just wasn't getting it. I just wanted to watch.

    Up until now I thought homeboy had just oversimplified a few rules in his head and forgot a thing or two, but seeing that the actual instruction manual is 500+ pages, I'm furious that he had the audacity to forcibly rope a drunk person with zero interest in playing into the game, just to treat them like a moron for not instantly getting it.

  • Can't you just check your bank account?

    I have "saved" a lot of money over the years ... yet my bank account doesn't reflect that.

    What the hell was the point of your original question 😂

  • For real. I opened Lemmy the other day and had to block someone for the first time because they'd spammed the shit post community with pages of them within a few minutes. Like I enjoy viral memes as much as the next guy, but one person completely overran my entire feed from dozens of communities by posting what amounts to the same thing over 100 times in 2 minutes. I genuinely don't get why people are trying to convince everyone they think it's funny or enjoyable.

  • Someone else already pointed out that these are usually pretty well insulated systems that don't radiate much energy, but also consider how many dozens of gallons of water aren't being wasted by waiting for it to be warm.

  • I see this sentiment posted a lot on here, and while I don't disagree with the position, I'm not sure I understand what exactly is meant. When you say Americans should "grow a pair and fight", what are you envisioning? Should I drive to my state capital and shoot the governor in the head?

  • My only issue with this kind of advice is that, if he gets caught using "soundbar_waker.bat", IT might get butthurt but he hasn't really done anything wrong or sketchy. If he's using "Logitech_driver.bat", he's less likely to be caught, but if he is, it's gonna look a lot worse than it really is.

  • I see 3 options.

    1, adjust your z-offset. I'm not familiar with prusa's firmware, but if your first layer is bulging, it could mean your z-offset needs adjusting.

    2, see if your first layer line thickness is set above 100%. By default some slicers lay an extra thick first layer; you might try decreasing this.

    3, get rid of the white on the first layer, and just make the second layer white. This is how I do multi-color lettering/ designs and it works incredibly well. I can show you pictures if my description doesn't make sense.

  • I used to be like this until I got a job that required constant phone calls. Now if I have to explain something using more than three sentences I'd much rather just talk.

  • I was using it to blow through an online math course I'd ultimately decided I didn't need but didn't want to drop. One step of a problem I had it solve involved finding the square root of something; it spat out a number that was kind of close, but functionally unusable. I told it it made a mistake three times and it gave a different number each time. When I finally gave it the right answer and asked, "are you running a calculation or just making up a number" it said that if I logged in, it would use real time calculations. Logged in on a different device, asked the same question, it again made up a number, but when I pointed it out, it corrected itself on the first try. Very janky.
