What about qualified? Is there an argument to be had about hiring someone that is more qualified rather than on diversity?

I’m not trying to be facetious here. I work as a union electrician and we have a diverse group, but majority of our workforce are men. On one project we needed 2 crew to run trench conduit (an apprentice and journey level to stay in ratio) but because it was a government project the hiring required us to also stay in diversity ratio. So the project manager anticipated the difficulty and hire 3. A woman and 2 men. All 3 were working on the trench, but due to the nature of the work (harder physical labor) the woman ended up holding a sign for the remainder of 6 months she had to be there to “fill” the diversity hire, as the original planned 2 man crew ran the trench to stay on schedule.

In this scenario should there be a bigger budget for diversity hire to compensate the additional labor required due to qualifications not being met? Of course it easily could have been a rock of a woman and 2 men who couldn’t lift a shovel too. But if that was the case the unqualified labor would have been rotated out instead of staying to fill a required diversity slot. It could have been 2 people like originally planned and both could have been women who were qualified to do the work. But that means it’s qualification over them filling their diversity roles.

On the surface hiring based off merit sounds better than hiring for diversity, but is it that merit is harder to achieve in diverse communities because of socio economic class? Racism basically?

Can you do that and post it?

So who does the capitolost vote for? The rich control the decisions. Like always. The ones who fund the parties. The ones who back the people in power.

If the people got who they backed we’d probably have Bernie or someone else who got grassroot funding.

Or worse. It froze it into an ice cube. So when you threw it you might as well have yeeted a rock into your sister’s face. Mom wasn’t happy.

Man these sensational titles for articles have been setting such a deceiving narrative. I feel like I’m in a veiled world since like 2015

Which is neither fallout or elder scrolls. I played starfield to it’s completion. It was fine. Nothing more than a 7/10. Had a lot to work on.

But I don’t get the fallout 4 hate. With a few mods and shutting up the protagonist, the game was more than enjoyable.

Is that Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant?

Wow I would have went through so much trouble trying to figure out my problems before stumbling on moisture problems. Especially since I’m printing in my garage.

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention before I ran into many problems. I didn’t even think about how I’m going to store all my filament. I was just going to go loose on the bottom of my table in a container.

It’s interesting that the instructions for preparing the AMS had me take out the dessicant from the 2 trays in the roller area. I was wondering what the point of these being empty was. I’ll fill that with back up with dessicant.

Oh I see! OK yeah I’ll keep it for when I need it. But it doesn’t seem like I’ll need a lot of it so I’ll keep it to the spool I got.

I was using structural filament, used for breaking prints apart. Once I switched to the regular PLA everything went fine.

I’m not sure about a filament dryer. I’m sure the P1S comes with something robust.

Thank you so much for this information! Sorry I respond so late. Its been very busy and I haven’t had time to get on lemmy.

Before I read this I went ahead and booted up bluebeam studio and got familiar with it. Did some research and got a high temp plate just in case the PEI standard plate the machine came with won’t work with PLA+/PETG. I’ll eventually want to be able to print robust parts as components.

Then I used up my ebay gift cards and got esun and sunlu on huge sales (there’s like 3 different discounts going right now). Got 17 PLA spools in all sorts of colors including wood, marble and even 2 glow in the dark ones (red and blue) for less than $200. 1kg. I don’t think they’re cheap, since regular price averaged around $20/spool, 30 for the glow ones.

I won’t use structure either. I heard it’s not necessary. I’m doing my first custom build (kind of, just modified off an existing build) of couple deck cases with the orange/green I have. I already did a couple other runs on the green and that solved the issue with fuzzy cheap builds. I was using the wrong filament. So now I’m excited what I can come up with!

Thank you for setting me on the right path.

Wow thank you. I’m home now, and I’ll swap the white one out for one of the other ones and see how that fares in making a print or 2. What do I do with the white one? Put it in the last slot? Does the machine know when to use the white one as a support?

What would you consider is your favorite filament to work with? I’m thinking of splurging on a set off ebay. But at the same time, are discount filaments ok?

And do you use a special plate? People have mentioned golden ones that are easier to bend to pop out the build? Mine just scraped off fairly easy. And I’ve read to use hairspray or windex to make it easier to pop off later.

I’m sorry I’m asking a lot. I get a hang of things pretty quickly haha, so once I’m going on a system of what to buy and how to install it I’ll be good to go.

Wow I think you’re right. The bag even said something along the lines “this isn’t filament” and I’m like uh. It looks like filament. I’m an idiot.

Yeah what mihnt said I think it self calibrated on the first start up.

I didn’t play part 2, but isn’t ellie a lot older and Joel gone? Bella Ramsey as older ellie?

Right. The whole “you do have space it’s just being used by something else”

And while I agree that the use of my lawn and driveway are not a good use of space, it’s just not practical to have a homestead like the one shown in our current suburb. Which is what I’m assuming the 1/10th of a lot of land will be in. Because if you’re anywhere in a rural area that can have a plot laid out in this style you’ll most likely also be working on more than a tenth of an acre.

I mean ripping up a concrete driveway in a suburb isn’t exactly prudent.

My home is on a 9k lot. Almost twice the size of this but I can’t fit anything near that. I guess majority of my space is take up by the front lawn and driveway.
