I actually have a good amount of experience with this exact type of thing.
Fanciest, nicest, easiest, most expensive method will be to buy filament in desired colors.
Slightly cheaper option, print them all in one color (preferably white), get cans of spray paint in whatever colors you need plus a clear topcoat (I'd recommend matte or satin for game pieces), paint and top coat them
Cheapest option, get one can of white spray paint and a variety pack of cheapo craft acrylic paint (you can probably find a 10 pack for $5), base coat white, use a sponge brush with the acrylic paint (you'll need a few layers), then finish with top coat. Most time consuming and outcome will depend on how many layers you feel like doing.
If I didn't already have a rainbow of different filament colors for this exact scenario, I would go with the third option. You can layer them up until you're satisfied with the quality, and white base coat is always good to have.
Interesting. I always assumed it was because the pcie slots were below the CPU, and the protocol was designed to avoid dumping hot GPU exhaust air into the CPU heatsink. Shame that BTX never went anywhere, but makes sense given the established market for ATX-variant cases.
When you're using push-to-talk in a voice chat lobby, and someone tells a really funny joke. Do y'all mic up so the homie knows you think they're funny? Especially in lobbies where everyone is using PTT it can be really awkward when someone tells a joke, there's silence for a second or two (while everyone laughs off-mic) and then one person meekishly keys up with a "heheheh"
All very good points. I think if I want to continue entertaining this idea I need to adjust my sights to a more general number than anything exact. Another user pointed out that time spent testing vs time saved would be a pretty close cut. I might devise a test to find a general minimum, increase it by a fair margin, and call it close enough.
Time saved vs used is a pretty good argument against.
My previous printer (Anycubic Mono 6k) allowed you to change lift height and speed on the printer during a print, so I could just lower it until just above hearing the separation. My current printer (Saturn 3) doesn't have this capability, so it would have to be multiple prints, which would take a couple hours.
What might be a better solution, is to do a similar test, again with "worst case scenario" (ie a cup with no suction cup release hole, or a very small one), increase the result by a large margin of error, and go with that until I need to replace the FEP or prints start failing.
The only time I've ever seen one of these dogs in person, it was a lady with three of them, and they are WILD to look at. They're just so oddly shaped. Quite the snoot.
Sunny D is for parents who think their kids aren't getting enough sugar with normal Orange Juice. are sick of Timmy's shit and want something to mix their vodka with.
Clearly, you've misunderstood the target demographic
Haven't touched it in years, but there was a mod that converted all player dialogue to voice commands. Meaning that when you were talking to an NPC, you actually spoke the words you wanted to say. That, with the verbal dragon shouts, and gesture activated spell casts... Good times.
Thank you for giving a thought out response to my question. I wholeheartedly agree that tip culture, as it is, is garbage. I think being able to tip is very appropriate in certain scenarios, like at a bar where the bartender is very friendly and charismatic (and is bringing in repeat customers) they should be able to receive tips. But I guess at the same time,
I actually changed my mindset halfway writing this comment. No; I, the customer, should not be paying the bartender more for giving me a more pleasant experience than the bartender next door. The bar owner should be reinvesting the additional profits brought in by the better bartender into said bartender's salary and increase their wage that way. Tipping the better bartender gives them a raise at no cost to the establishment, which is ok for the bartender, great for the bar, bad for the consumer.
This is commonly parroted and while it does happen it isn't the case for literally every single deal.
My roommates and I bought a TV in September and paid the extra $50 or whatever to be able to get a refund if a better price came up. For Black Friday, that TV is ~$250 less than we paid for, and we're getting our money back.
Black Friday/ Cyber Monday can be great times to pick up on deals and many items reach yearly lows for these sales, you just need to not blindly purchase things or fall into the hype. The way I look at it is, if I already know I want/ need it, I'll look around on Black Friday for a good deal. But I won't let deals on these days be the thing that tells me I want or need something.
I mean, yeah. Obviously. But to the other businesses or potential business owners that want to try a tipless model, that see these businesses failing, that's not very encouraging or helping to figure out what the underlying issue is. If people are trying to do a good thing but can't quite figure out how to make it work, should we just say, "guess you're not very good at this" and continue giving business to the places asking for tips, or should we try to look into what's going on?
Shit, next you're gonna tell me Vulcans aren't real.
