  1. Past hour
  2. I have always hated setting up a fresh Windows install. It takes forever before it's my computer again instead of A computer. We've just shifted the primary load from "install all the drivers so the hardware is minimally functional" to "change all the settings so Windows is minimally functional"
  3. Today
  4. I am saddened by the news of Masako Ikeda. Anyone who knows me. Knows I am a huge fan of Galaxy Express 999
  5. For fans of Castlevania.
  6. I know. It doesn't even look like Ishtar either. I would stick with the 1990's made stuff.
  7. I’m trying to design joints for FDM 3D printing, and I was wondering what clearances you usually use. Do you adjust the offset depending on: the nozzle diameter the layer height the type of joint the filament For example, what clearance do you typically use between moving parts (hinges, ball joints, snap fits, etc.)? If possible, could you share the offsets you use in SolidWorks for all your moving parts? Thanks!
  8. Thanks. I hope I can stick the landing. 😬
  9. The size of the new version doesn't bother me too much; I have zero available display space as it is. I'm just a little put off by the sculpt of the new version's alt mode - specifically the trunk. Maybe I'll warm up to it if I see it on the shelf somewhere.
  10. Nice! No longer have to watch still pics to audio like a powerpoint presentation.
  11. Inspirational!
  12. We know NuTrek doesn't have the support of a team of science and technology fact-checkers the way golden age Star Trek did... but you'd think they'd at least have checked its Wiki page, consulted a chemistry textbook, or at least loaded up a NileRed video on YouTube. It's a lot easier to research these things now than it was 60 year ago when Star Trek was first being written. Seems like that the creative team knew juuuuuust enough to know that strontium is often mentioned around things like nuclear fuel waste and nuclear bombs and assumed that all strontium was the dangerous radioisotope strontium-90 that is occasionally used in RTEGs due to its short half-life. Naturally occurring strontium that you might dig up out of the ground is non-radioactive strontium-88. Pure strontium is reactive enough that it can be made pyrophoric when finely ground, but the danger level is more "mistaken for fireworks" than "mistaken for an attack". Assuming Nus Braka is telling the truth about his parents, for all practical intents and purposes his family likely accidentally blew themselves up when their homemade signal flare accidentally ignited the fireworks factory they lived and worked in. Either that or he told an embarrassingly easy-to-debunk fib.
  13. Done! Here’s a quick pic. Better photos in the completed section once I have my Photo Booth set up again.
  14. My mistake. Pls delete
  15. Looks amazing so far, you did a fantastic job on the seams, can't see them at all.
  16. You don't realize just how much you did to get modern Windows "functional", until you have a fresh install. You can NEVER remember or write them all down. Got pretty close today, but it took ALL day. (I took the day off from work! Didn't plan to have a new PC at the time, but it worked out well). I should be ready to finally actually "use" my new PC this weekend and see what it can do...
  17. I often do a similar thing, but with chrome instead of silver
  18. Almost there. A few more layers…red, topcoat, decals, panel line and we are good. I decided to pant the clear lens parts with clear red on front and silver on back. Sort of candy-ish but a clear middle refracting light.
  19. I hope you are right. The 1/200 scale is sort of a perfect size for it, but I’d gladly take a 1/100 if it happens.
  20. Yesterday
  21. I do not collect Transformers much anymore. I always liked the character of Big convoy. He is so small compared to the original.
  22. In before it's retconned to distrontium next season! Seriously, it genuinely makes me laugh to see them reinventing one of the earliest mistakes in Trek writing.
  23. Great show, great character. She did a wonderful job. What else has she... oh. She's in the Lunar 2 remake as Old Luna. That hurts me more than it should.
  24. Saw Big Convoy at my local Wally awhile back but I left it. I like BW and all, and while a Prime that turns into a mammoth should appeal, having had seen a review, it just wasn't grabbing me. Hope it brings more joy and fulfillment to you than it would've to me.
