Most things look pretty bad and gross when you zoom in on them close enough.

I always think ofthis.

My adopted cockerpoo x Labrador is much the same, super sweet, no aggressive behaviours but can’t comprehend that every other person and dog wouldn’t want to be best friends with him. He’s getting better though and is now much more cautious approaching other dogs but will still run half way up to another dog, stop and wag his tail until the other dog comes up to him which can be stressful. Super fussy eater too, I’m told that’s a poodle thing.

Always love seeing these come up and everyone confidently stating that it’s been solved. Everything from a knitting tool (highly unlikely as the Romans didn’t knit) to a dice. The truth is we just don’t know and likely never will unless a new source .

Personally I’m convinced by the theory that they’re probably a metalworkers portfolio piece used to demonstrate the creators skill, either to potential customers or as a test to join a guild.

He’s got Elven heritage. He’s the 64th descendant of Elros, brother of Elrond. I think he’s also decendend from a Maiar as Elros and Elrond’s great great grandmother was Melian.

That’s not the universal view within the government, the OBR has estimated that imports/exports of goods and services are 15% lower than had the UK stayed in the EU although some research goes as high as 30% and some as low as 6%

Bad, I’m lucky and live in a fairly afluent area of the south (but outside of London) but decades of conservative cuts have left our local government councils broke. My best friends moved to Europe because one of them worked in the arts and there’s not enough jobs to support them in just the UK. The new Labour government is an improvement but has shifted significantly to the right in their policies and feels like Conservative Light and is actively persecuting Trans and immigrant people through it’s policies to appeal to ex-conservatives. They’re starting to seek closer ties to Europe again but everything feels pretty hopeless.

Yep, you’ll never get it perfect, but a smaller layer height will make the steps less noticeable. Adaptive layer height in cura if you use that can help, but adds a mortal age to the length of the print.

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.

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.

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…

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.

Is that EPP? My partner’s childhood best friend has one of the worst EPP reactions known to medical literature. I can’t imagine anything that sounds half as bad.

Same, my partner nearly died around the same age from a tiny infected glass cut that developed cellulitis.

I was there Gandalf…
