It’s more of a dotted yellow line now.

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

For the record, chopped strand fiber in a fdm printer doesn’t significantly increase strength- especially along layer lines.

It might increase tensile strength of the load is parallel to the layers, but that’s about it. In every other direction, the fiber doesn’t cross layers, and delaminating is the primary failure mode.

The strands would be more like glass fiber than asbestos- you wouldn’t want it in your lungs, but then it shouldn’t really be airborne.

A better option might be graphite filled, which will still get you that look, and help lighten the part without losing strength. Still would not want to sand it without ppe, though.

Pretty much, yeah.

If you were able to find the quarantine inspection the. You probably found the Items subject to other laws

That literally says all live animals and product s from them are banned (with a few exceptions that wouldn’t apply.)

You don’t get to not spend five minutes checking customs before traveling to another country and pretend like you’re the victim for getting dinged.

Particularly since the customs agent is specifically asking if you have anything. “Do you have any food with you…?” (This would be your last chance to declare it).

And let's be real, there's no reason to put that "(maybe)" in there. Are you suggesting the dude was like, "Ahahaha, my dastardly plan is in motion! I'm going to snuggle 4oz of pork hidden away in my lunch, in direct violation of import controls. It's so clever because I have absolutely no discernable reason I would want to do this on purpose!!!"

No.

I’m saying he might have known that pork was banned and didn’t think it was that big of a deal. that happens all the time.

Except it’s actually a really big deal. The ban on pork, specifically, is to prevent ASF from entering the local herd.

Bio controls are one of the few ways to prevent spread; and it takes all of five minutes to check what is or isn’t banned.

Further more he could have declared it- “hey I have this pork lunch,” which would have led to a very different conversation.

And what are you recommending me check? Google every item on the "ingredients" list on my coke zero to make sure I'm not smuggling red dye number 33 into a country that bans it?

It was literally called “chicken and pork combo.” Not exactly hidden.

You don’t have to google anything- except maybe to find their customs website where it’s all very plainly stated.

There are a dozen travel advisory warnings about pork products, specifically, and clearly stating that all pork is barred from entry.

More generally, meat and dairy products are almost always barred from entry (along with most every kind of ag product in general.)

He tried to bring something in that he (maybe) didn’t know he wasn’t supposed to, got fined? Couldn’t pay it so he got refused entry and sent home.

This is normal behavior at entry points… and should probably serve to make you go “gee I need to check that” before flying to another country.

He wasn’t jailed though. He was sent home.

Just for the record, teenage hooligans-in my experience -are actually preferable to the adult hooligans.

Seriously. Teenagers might get drunk and do stupid shit but they’re scared of getting caught and run away. Many times they’ll even clean up after themselves if you’re not a total dick.

Adults tend to stand their ground and pick fights.

(Also, every demographic you care to name steal shit. Sobriety, income, race. None of it matters.)

I dunno, but if he ever tried to have an argument with me I’d probably just assume he was trying to provoke a fight and punch him in the face.

He has a very punchable face. Nice and soft but it still makes this hollow ringing sound, I’ve heard.

unlike the others... I'm glad you took the safe option and skipped the fires fries.

I know it would have been perfect with the fries, though. only thing that's not :)

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Is it posting? There should be led indicators that flash, usually an array of them. (The pattern as it lights up means stuff.) and if connected to a monitor, it should also flash some kind of boot screen. If it completes posting, it’ll at least go to bios. If the LEDs aren’t flashing at all…

the first step is to pull everything out and re-seat it. (Ram, gpu, power, etc.)

Start with seating the power sockets (to mobo, the minimum needed RAM, cpu and cpu fan (connected to cpu_fam header; usually next to the cpu).

Side note on ram, if it’s dual-channel or more, it matters where the ram goes. Consult your manual.

I dunno. It definitely will incentivize “otherising” of the Jewish diaspora. Which may be a tertiary objective of it. And it will definitely lead to increased conflict.

Which is a shame because most the Jews I know well enough to talk to about it, are extremely anti-genocide, and they’re vocal about it because… they know “I’m Jewish, [awkward stare]” is a great way to not get dinged for politics at work. (At least when the political topic is Gaza.)

Maybe we should sanction them.

Yeah. Probably.
