Reasonably sure that ginger ginger grown from the rhizome can’t flower - which is a shame as it’s flowers are both beautiful and smell wonderful.

Only so far, there’s still time.

It’s probably under exposed then. Something like this and this will help you tune your slicer settings. You might need to play with other settings if you have other issues, but most of the time the exposure settings will be the problem with new resins.

Is this the first print you’ve done with it? Have you done any exposure calibration with this resin?

Ethanol should be fine to use as far as I know. Do the holes go all the way through? If so your screen might have dead spots. You can visually inspect the screen by setting it to do a test exposure without the resin tank on it to check. Also obviously check that your tank doesn’t have any failed print bits stick to the sheet.

Server farms tend to have huge footprints, so putting them in urban areas where land prices are high, is prohibitively expensive - so they won’t do it.

Oh those things are super cool, soviet era display technology had a great aesthetic. This YouTuber had some great videos on them

Looking at it, I think it might be an one of those old mono LCD displays? The video makes it look like it’s a bunch of small individual ones rather than a large continuous display.

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.

Yes, but only in the fact that it looks like 4-5 different decks have got mixed together.

Quit my admin job in November of 2022 to go back and refresh my software Dev knowledge at a bootcamp. It was great, loved every minute of it but I’ve been struggling to get a job since due to the historically bad year for layoffs in tech. I’m incredibly lucky to be in the position where my partners job can support us whilst I’m looking though so I can take my time and wait for the right role to come around which takes a lot of the stress of being unemployed off.

I’ve also just been diagnosed with ADHD as a 31 year old, partly because of talking to my therapist and it giving me the confidence to follow through on forcing a diagnosis. I’ve just finished my tritration for Concerts XL and it’s helping a lot, but now I need to unlearn a lifetime of bad habits that I used to manage it.

We’re both 31 and have been together for 15 going 16 years. We’d like to get married this year for inheritance reasons but we’ve been saying that for a 5ish years now. I think we’ll just end up doing something small or doing it and celebrating later.

No problem, I’m always happy to share my own journey - I’m not perfect by any means but I am getting happier year on year and normalizing talking about these things has played an important role in that. You should never feel guilty for feeling and sharing how you feel.

Yeah it has, I just ended my therapy after about 2 years of in person weekly sessions. Combined with antidepressants at my lowest it formed an important part of me overcoming my depression. I had a lot of guilt about inflicting my depression on those around me so having an outlet for my thoughts and feelings that wasn’t connected to the rest of my life was very valuable.

Its made me more resilient in terms of handling my anxieties - I can now deal with thoughts and situations that would have spiralled me into a deep depression before and can recognise and derail oncoming panic attacks before they happen.

It also made me realise how I was feeling guilty when perceived people close to me to be suffering emotionally (both real but often imagined) out of a desire to fix everything, even when they didn’t ask or need me too, which was very unhealthy for me. Learning to stop that has decreased my stress significantly.

I recognise that some people really don’t find therapy helpful, but I’d definitely recommend trying it with a few different therapists first before giving up. So much of it is down to your individual rapport with your therapist. There’s also other options like group therapy, which I’ve also found helpful for coming to realizations about myself but less good for working through my issues.

I’m surprised he’d want to come back - I’d heard really hurt his back filming the first movie and it happened again in the second one. Something about having to carrying both movies single handedly…

It’s not an easy transition. My partner works for DDG and I still don’t use it all the time. To their credit they are working to improve things but it’s a small team (comparatively). Their browser has some good features like app tracking protection just from having it installed and quick throwaway email support but isn’t quite up to Firefox’s standard (yet).

Our friend had a similar story to yours, they were told they were making it up despite the fact they were starting to die anytime they went out in the sun, it took multiple near death experiences for them to get diagnosed as a child. I’ve never run into anyone else with it in the UK but there is a community of expats with it in Rotterdam the Netherlands as they have one of the best Porphyria treatment and research centers in the world. Our friend emigration their a while ago for it and has been using the new implant that’s been developed and they’ve said it’s completely life changing - it doubles their exposure time and allows them to live a much more normal life. If you’d like to make contact with other people with it, feel free to DM me your email and I can pass it along.
