A hypothesis is absolutely fair game. I am not going to spend the time to prove it right or wrong in this case, but it's still 100% legit in my book.

(Just don't go telling your child spawn that space pot... err.. space teapots are definitely the reason that time travel could be possible.)

Yes. I followed a group of Russian trolls around for a bit and they will systematically seed right wing social media with shit stories. It'll start on far-right sources and if the story picks up steam, it'll migrate to more mainstream sites, like twitter, where it's usually repeated by right wing politicians.

Fake news sites are built and referenced until a site with better standing quotes the articles and is listed as the original source.

If you did deep enough, you can usually trace stories back to Kremlin run outlets as well. However, by the time you have done all the digging and research, the next new conspiracy is already topping the charts.

Many of the mega-posters on .ml follow the same patterns, actually. You can guess their timezones by when they post and comment and their day job seems to be posting on social media between 9-5. In the case of Lemmy, it seems to be used as a jump-off point for actual fake news sites. (Fake news sites are rarely used as headlines and are more used as comment fodder during any arguments.)

While I am picking on right wing and tankie stuff here, this applies to any opportunity to spread shit with a variety of agendas and no political views are immune.

... AND BIG GREEN DICKS JUST STARTED FLOWING OUT OF MY PHONE!!!

(That should cover any screen readers that happen to be on full volume right now. Your welcome.)

Regardless of who provides the slingshots, someone has got to know how to use them.

Still, even with foreign support, Ukraine has singlehandedly revolutionized drone warfare. That is awesome and extremely frightening at the same time. The Switchblade was neat, but it supposedly costs $52k. Ukraine is strapping RPGs to drones for what? About $1k?

You aren't supposed to be snorting agent orange. I don't care how many other kids tell you it tastes just like Kool Aid...

This just rolled across a vegetarian community. (They might be on to us, boys..) Coincidence? I think not.

Good. Let's keep it that way.

I hate myths, even ones with good intentions. Things like "Santa" are just teaching kids to be disappointed and that their parents are full of shit.

As a side comment, what in the actual fuck is the tooth fairy?

None of this stuff makes any sense to me, whatsoever.

Consoles made sense when they required specialized hardware. The $700 for a PS5 is probably better spent on a much better GPU for a PC, IMHO.

It's cool if you like consoles! They still have a specific allure, so I get it.

Those are good printers. I put about 6 different resin types through them, and did get my optimal settings for fine detail because I was curious. It's just pointless for what I do, s'all.

But yes, depending on what your goals are for printing, there is a fuck ton of room for speed improvements.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I have a pair of Mono 6ks's and yeah. Their settings are even across most of the resins in their slicer. I use the same settings between ABS, nylons and clear resins but just for functional prints. (Precision only matters in key spots for me.)

I will say this though: Their base settings work for me, which is super different than what I was used to with FDM.

Lift speed is determined more by the plastic sheet type, and "8k resin" may or may not be a little thinner and that is generally the only difference, if at all. (+8k resin is almost always marketing wank.) nFEP is the most common way to go for the detail/speed tradeoff.

(The Blu nylons are thick as hell though, so the lift speed/dwell can actually matter.)

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

It's generic for thicker resins. A higher lift and a short pause is normal so that resin can flow back under the print where it just separated.

Just tune it down for your particular resins.
