  • You don’t have to constantly remodel/renovate. Replacements can be reduced by not buying the cheapest thing you can find, I’ve done rental management and let me tell you even non corporate landlords are fucking retarded and waste money constantly replacing the cheapest appliances they can find instead of just getting something that can last. Same with repairs on pipes etc. They always hunt the bottom barrel cheapest dumbass they can find who has no idea what they are doing and ends up increasing the cost exponentially over time vs just doing it right.

    Don’t even get me started on the money wasted marketing, it does nothing. Most people just search their desired area from the popular listing sites any dollar spent on literally anything other than just making sure your listing is updated on MLS db is money down the toilet.

    I could go on but tldr if your rental isn’t at least in the black it’s probably your own fault.




  • Yes, talent is oversold and used as an excuse to often HOWEVER there ARE differences in people’s skill level and rate of learning. Especially if learning disabilities are involved.

    I really really wanna draw regularly. And i practice regularly have for years. Ive gotten much better than couple years ago me but overall my art still sucks (others confirm not just the usual artist hates own work) and it’s mainly because i have a learning disability that affects my spacial reasoning and ability to visualize shapes.

    This may come as a surprise to some people but that makes drawing very difficult, i can’t get proportions correct and I struggle to find shapes. My best drawings are ones that i practically traced the initial outline to get the shapes. AI generated art absolutely makes getting an idea out of my head more accessible. And i can then trace the outline of the ai art and draw the rest myself.

    I know people hate it but just blindly saying “anyone can draw just do it bro” is basically just as worthless of an argument that ignores reality






  • pacman is the best and I’ll stubbornly refuse to entertain any other opinion. It’s in my experience the least likely to just randomly rip the system to shreds. I don’t know if it has more through prechecks or what bit I’ve had debian and Fedora (apt and dnf) rip the system asunder trying to jump multiple major versions in an update of a system that hadn’t been online in a long time.

    I don’t care if jumping multiple releases at once “isn’t supported” it shouldn’t be that frail and arch will happily update something many years behind as long as you update the keyring.

    Even in the event your system somehow does get hosed you can fix almost everything by just chrooting in, grabbing the static pacman binary, and running “pacman -Qqn | pacman -S -” I’ve recovered systems that had the entire /bin wiped (lol oops moment with a script) and as far as i know apt and dnf have no equivalent easy redo all.



  • That’s a fair point, the date on the bottle says it should be good for another year apparently but it wouldn’t hurt to get a fresh bottle just to be safe. It does look like I would need to fuck with the exposure time regardless since it’s a bright white resin it appears to need longer exposure. I also have a clear resin which apparently needs even more exposure.

    At the very least I know I have good build plate adhesion because God damn some of these have been difficult to get off I actually slightly scratched my build plate in one spot a little bit getting some of them off I need to be more careful and use the plastic spatula not the metal one



  • The resin was from when I bought the printer. was shaken, and poured in with the included filter funnel, it didn’t seem to be having any issues mixing, tho it is an “abs like” white resin so maybe i need higher exposure time? I’ll check the elegoo site it’s one of their resins i know some of them have setting recommendations.

    Thanks for the link I’ll give cone of calibration a try and see where i can get with that
