Crimes do not need to be committed in anger and crimes can also be petty. Autism doesn’t need to be a direct cause of a crime, but it will probably be a huge contributing factor.

I can’t think of a specific case off top of my head, but I’ll describe a scenario that I know I have been through hundreds of times. This could also apply to anti-social behavior or what would seem to be a disregard for “social rules” in general. (Excuse me while I try to explain a state of mind without a good example.)

Sometimes, an action seems the most logical in the moment. If someone was to exclaim in excitement, “Some one pinch me, because I must be dreaming!”, my first reaction would be to take that statement literally and pinch the person. In my head, the action was justified, and I would expect a positive response when we know that likely would not be the case.

If we scale that up a hair, there have been cases, with me specifically, where an action that seems logical may absolutely not be appropriate or even legal. I absolutely have no intentions of breaking a law or causing trouble, but my brain immediately tries to solve a problem in the simplist way possible and I act on what I can only describe as reflex.

I think what I am trying to describe is very similar to my distinct lack of brain-to-mouth filter. If there is an obvious solution to something, but nobody actually says it out loud, I probably will. Unbeknownst to me, everyone already was thinking what I said, and it wasn’t socially acceptable to actually say it.

Thankfully, the legal system is setup to determine actual intent. Intending to commit a crime can be much more serious than commiting a crime by accident. Even the most serious of crimes are structured this way, ie: manslaughter vs murder; intentional or accidental.

I was the idiot that always brought the full tower and the biggest 14" CRT.

It was stupid, until people realized that I had brought all 1000mhz.

Blockchain!

My translator shows “enterprise”, not “business”.

While the words technically have the same meaning in this case, enterprise goose has a bit more pizazz!

Isn’t that technically VR porn?

And the capability to create as many copies of that ring as you want, actually.

Just one copy of “the one ring” would cause chaos. Now, imagine a hundred million of those fuckers on the open market! While some of the immediate side effects might be a bit weird, but it seems like the entire system of control might collapse fairly quick.

Leak a copy of the transport buffer to China, while we are at it, and we should be seeing those show up on EBay for $1.99 in about a week or so.

It’s no so precious any more, is it??

There is no such thing as normal, so embrace who you are in all of your different ways.

Even if physical handicaps are involved, like you actually can’t walk a straight line or if you have difficulty breathing, that has its own challenges but it’s not wrong.

And yeah. People can be really dick’ish sometimes and that sucks. The sooner you stop giving a fuck what they think, the sooner you can be happier with yourself.

The second I embraced who I was, in my own ways, I could stop killing myself slowly with booze. Alcohol was just my own way of coping and it really sucked.

It’s impossible for me to fully understand what you are going through, but FWIW, I can relate. And trust me, life can get better if you let it, but make no mistake: I know it ain’t as easy as saying the words.

Chin up and keep on keepin’ on!

A hypothesis is absolutely fair game. I am not going to spend the time to prove it right or wrong in this case, but it’s still 100% legit in my book.

(Just don’t go telling your child spawn that space pot… err… space teapots are definitely the reason that time travel could be possible.)

I hate myths, even ones with good intentions. Things like “Santa” are just teaching kids to be disappointed and that their parents are full of shit.

As a side comment, what in the actual fuck is the tooth fairy?

None of this stuff makes any sense to me, whatsoever.

You can get an electrified sounding kit if that is what you are really after. But yeah, the regular crap just sounds boring, so I wouldn’t try it either.

Those are good printers. I put about 6 different resin types through them, and did get my optimal settings for fine detail because I was curious. It’s just pointless for what I do, s’all.

But yes, depending on what your goals are for printing, there is a fuck ton of room for speed improvements.

I have a pair of Mono 6ks’s and yeah. Their settings are even across most of the resins in their slicer. I use the same settings between ABS, nylons and clear resins but just for functional prints. (Precision only matters in key spots for me.)

I will say this though: Their base settings work for me, which is super different than what I was used to with FDM.

Lift speed is determined more by the plastic sheet type, and “8k resin” may or may not be a little thinner and that is generally the only difference, if at all. (+8k resin is almost always marketing wank.) nFEP is the most common way to go for the detail/speed tradeoff.

(The Blu nylons are thick as hell though, so the lift speed/dwell can actually matter.)

It’s generic for thicker resins. A higher lift and a short pause is normal so that resin can flow back under the print where it just separated.

Just tune it down for your particular resins.

Eyyy! One mac down, one to go.

It was just a shame to have this spare compute just sitting around and am glad it has avoided the recycling bin for at least another 4-5 years. (I don’t like throwing electronics away. I’ll even harvest components off of old stuff before it gets tossed, usually.)

Rock on, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

From personal experience, these kinds of things are usually based on “security by obscurity” and is just a matter of pushing the right buttons in a specific order.

Unless hardware fuses are physically blown, there is usually a chance. While possible, I don’t think any laptop manufacturer would implement that functionality without an expensive, special order contract.

One is a model “A1989” and another is “A2159”, both of which are at least from 2018.

I believe I got them to a state where the recovery OS was re-installed? I am charging them now to get more information.

When I see my Dr. or when I talk to other engineers?

Any in many ways, that is the way engineers should speak to other engineers when analyzing a problem.

If two or more people can actually share a common goal of finding the best solution, everyone involved should be making sure that no time is wasted chasing poor solutions. This not only takes the ability to be direct to someone else, but it also requires that you can parse what others are telling you.

If someone makes something personal or takes something personal, they need a break. Go take a short walk or something. (Linus is a different sort of creature though. I get it.)

TBH, this is part of the reason I chose my doctor (GP). She is extremely direct when problem solving and has no problems theory-crafting out loud. Sure, we are social to a degree, but we share many of the same professional mannerisms. (We had a short discussion on that topic the other day, actually. I just made her job easier because I give zero fucks about being judged for any of my personal health issues.)

Nope. I can’t even see a resemblance.
