When asked if he acted alone, police responded: “He had some help. It ain’t like he can make this kind of mess all by himself.”

(Joke. It’s lyrics from a single Morgan Wallen and Post Malone did together.)

Every Miku is canon.

Why does lemmy not have a laundry dedicated forum?

Because you haven’t made one yet. ;)

Mind you, for a topic like that, I’d expect it to take a good amount of effort to make it “active”.

That crab’s anatomy makes me uncomfortable.

My grandmother was really really good at Dr. Mario. She played the NES version first and later got into a Wii Virtual Console version of Dr. Mario. She’d start at level 20 every time.

Eventually her eyesight got the better of her, but until that happened, she was damned good at it.

Ooo. Some pretty big security fixes there. That XSS vulnerability, for instance, seems like a pretty big deal. Definitely worth an upgrade.

Good eye. It reminds you of OpenSCAD because… all those images are screenshots from OpenSCAD. :D

Some of how she’s building the dollhouse with my help is kindof “set in stone” already. She started with an Ikea FLISAT dollhouse shelf unit kit:

And we’re modding it from there. So some things like the a split-level would be pretty hard. Also, it’s 1:12 scale and we’ve been able to calculate things like, for instance, head clearance when going up the stairs and seen that much shorter couldn’t really work without making the stairs even more unrealistically steep.

That bar cabinet is 3.25" tall. Typical cabinet height in the real world is apparently somewhere around 3’. (In the 30 seconds I’ve spent googling just now, I’ve seen figures between 30" and 42", though I think the upper end of that range is kindof meant for taller-than-average people.) 3.25" times 12 is like 39". So yeah. Seems pretty counter-height already. The first iteration of that bar cabinet was quite a bit shorter, but I always make my designs nice and parameterized, so when she asked for the dimensions to be tweaked, it was pretty trivial to make an adjustment and send it to the printer again.

What do you mean exactly?

No argument that SNW Season 4 is… different. But I’m not sure quite in what way the meme is saying it’s different specifically.

Awesome info! That helps. Thanks much!

Thanks so much! This helps a ton!

I do indeed have a color profiling tool.

Definitely sounds like using an editor that I can import the printer profile into is exactly what I need. I’ll pursue that path and see what that gets me. Thanks again!

She just deals with the actual product being different from what’s on her screen.

That’s honestly helpful to hear.

Even inkjet ought to be better despite the glue issue

Yeah, actually we tried an experiment with an inkjet printer after getting that feedback in other comments and the results are definitely more vibrant. The colors are “off” in a different (and more acceptable) way than they are with the laser printer, but we haven’t tried calibrating that printer with the colorimter yet, so we might get better results once we try that.

unusual printer technologies, like solid ink, thermal wax, or dye-sublimation.

Ooo. Yeah, ok. That’s definitely a rabbit hole to go down. Lol. I’ll definitely do some looking.

have your stuff printed at a print shop.

Yeah, that’s an option I’ve run across in my research as well. I’ll bring it up and see what that produces.

(By the way, where are the pics of the MCM dollhouse??)

Ha! Well, it’s still pretty early in the process, but I do have some things I can show. A lot of it is going to be 3d printed and I’ve designed some 3d printed parts for it.

Here’s a rough render of what the “main part” will look like (ignore the colors, those are just to call out different elements, not a reflection of the ultimate color scheme):

Here’s an extension to be put on the left side. A kitchen with a deck above:

A couple of shots of a bar cabinet:

And a fridge:

There’s a bit more I could show, but I’ll leave it there for now. Thanks for your interest!

That’s interesting to hear.

I’ve got a major tangent to go on here quick. You know the YouTube channel “Legal Eagle”? (I think he’s also on Nebula.)

I have a lay interest in law, particularly contract and IP law, and sometimes the YouTube algorithm recommends Legal Eagle. I watched something random about how “Disney might lose the rights to Spiderman”. Seemed interesting and all.

But in the middle of the video he totally confuses the Copyright Act of 1976 and the Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) passed in 1998. He said the Copyright Act of 1976 was “the life’s work of Sony Bono”. The CTEA was the life’s work of Sonny Bono. Sonny Bono had, so far as I’ve been able to determine, nothing to do with the Copyright Act of 1976.

And I knew enough about the CTEA and Copyright Act of 1976 to catch the error immediately. And honestly, I’ve tried to steer clear of Legal Eagle. If he can get something as basic as that wrong (despite being a professional lawyer, mind you) then how can I be sure I’m not getting BS every time I watch his content. Or at least so my reasoning went.

And I’m super interested in the human story around these laws. For instance, did you know that the CTEA was introduced posthumously (as in, after Sonny Bono’s death)? By his widow Mary Bono who ran for and won the seat that Sonny’s death left vacant? And it was introduced only 9 months after his death? And that Mary Bono advocated for continuing to extend the term of copyright forever? And in the court case Eldred v. Ashcroft which challenged the constitutionality of the CTEA, Lawrence Lessig was the lawyer for the petitioner? Who called the CTEA the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act” in reference to Disney’s strong lobbying for the CTEA? And Aaron Schwartz testified to the SCOTUS in that case on the side of the petitioner? At the age of 14?

That stuff is super interesting to me, and Legal Eagle getting something as simple and basic as that wrong made it seem like he really didn’t care to get such details right, which made me reticent to want to expose myself to much more of his content.

Anyway. Super tangent, but your comment about how law school doesn’t seem to value knowledge of history explains a bit, I think.

Thanks! Yeah, Paint.net doesn’t natively have a proofing mode, but it looks like there may be some plugins for that. Or, worst case, I can badger her into switching to Gimp or Krita, both of which have proofing modes built-in.

I’ll noodle around a little more with some of the suggestions I’m getting in this thread and see what I can come up with. Thanks much!

Thanks for your input! This definitely gives me a few things to try.

Also, just to mention it, the color laser printer in question is pretty much brand new. It was purchased new less than 6 months ago.

Hopefully some of what I’ve suggested gets you closer to what you’re looking for!

Hmmmmmm.

I’ve signed up for Studicata in the past and just watched/studied what was there. It’s intended for law school students, but at least when I last signed up, it wasn’t restricted or anything. It’s super interesting and informative on the theory of law, and I’d definitely recommend the content on there, but your example specifically sounds more like a “court procedure” thing that… probably wouldn’t be covered I wouldn’t think?

I’ve also read this text book specifically about intellectual property law, but that seems even further off the mark of what you’re looking for.

Probably the ultimate right answer to your question is “law school”, but given that you’re asking here in Lemmy, I doubt that’s the answer you’re looking for.

Edit: Ooo. Maybe the references on the Wikipedia page about “Sidebar” might answer your main question there.

How is this /c/nottheonion material? Seems entirely on brand for a billionaire founder of Google.

Happened to see that animated GIF on the linked webpage while listening to Vic Mensa’s “Down on my Luck”. Way trippy.

What do I win if I’m number 5,000?

(Also, are those all DMs, or are some of them comments in reply to you or some such?)

My unpopular opinion is that /c/unpopularopinion is fine the way it is.
