  • As someone with no PS experience or other baggage weighing me down, I find the default UI to be insanely unintuitive. Im not even sure what the panels on the right or bottom are for, the left toolbar panel randomly disappears on me occasionally and I can never figure out how to get it back without closing and reopening GIMP. Things like Crop don’t seem to do anything obvious. Painting with the brush doesn’t work unless you first use the selection tool to draw a box around the area you want to use the brush. Etc, etc, etc. Some of this is obviously just because I’m a novice, and I manage to fumble my way through things, but at the same time it could be drastically simplified for simple tasks. It feels like a tool that was built for people who already knew how to use it.







  • As mentioned this is not easy to print. You might consider cutting the model into two pieces. From the shown orientation, I would do a planar cut just below the top surface, trying to capture those “screws” (I don’t know what they’re called, they tighten the strings) in the top cut and then flip the bottom section over so the spherical dome is printed like an upside down bowl. This should only require supports for the large piece at the top of the neck. In Bambu Studio (possibly OrcaSlicer) you can also add connector pieces for proper alignment when doing cuts too, but they may he unnecessary when gluing it back together.

    Also for future reference, when you see models that only show 3D renderings and no actual finished print, you know you’re in for some trouble. I try to avoid these at all costs.






  • Dennys ruined Dennys by being Dennys. Mostly the only reason I’ve ever gone there is because it was the only place open after the bars closed. During normal hours, there are about a million other restaurants I’d rather spend my money at. In this case, I don’t really see the issue and hope they tank further in order to deprive these private equity firms of even more capital.

    Also side note, they mentioned the one in San Francisco closing and im wondering if its the same one we visited in the early '10s on a family vacation. To this day, I wonder how much those workers could possibly have earned in the most expensive city in the country and whether it was worth what was probably a two hour commute to get there.






  • IE Biden basically went publicly patting himself on the back of how the US had a lower inflation than most other countries durring the covid spree. but he phrased it in a way that was regularly interpreted as “I solved inflation… you feeling like everything is falling apart is on you.”

    There was also the fact that we had massive inflation prior to it dropping back down to normal levels but he pretended like low/normal inflation this past quarter negates the previously high inflation, as if things costing twice as much today as they did a couple years prior doesn’t matter because “things only went up an additional 3% last quarter so what are you complaining about?”



  • Great but what about the rest of it? This whole “grand jury documents” battle has been little more than a farce as this is just a tiny snippet of the overall investigation. A “highlights reel” of what they uncovered and deemed safe to disclose. These grand jury documents were items curated from the investigation documents by Trump’s former DOJ and vetted for disclosure to the jurors/public six years ago. There isn’t going to be anything incriminating the president in this release. It’s just another big show to make people think progress is occurring.
