Whether TU24 hits or not, you can still win off of it.
Think about it.
You could go down to the betting shop and bet that it won't hit us. If it doesn't, you make some cash.
And just in case, you could max out your credit cards the day before the predicted impact, and when you wake up to find your bank has been consumed by a pool of lava, you win :p

As far as I'm concerned, this is just more Fear-mongering by an ill-informed individual, a bit like Al Gore's delusion that global warming will kill us all if we don't go back to living in mud huts and eating leaves :rolleyes:

Don't get environmentalism involved. Al Gore isn't our leader :D

Actually, I was thinking of a different one. There's a guy called Albert Gore who lives in my area who's an eco-hippy and happens to be a bit delusional, sorry for any mix up there. As for the government Al Gore, I disagree with his views but I'm well aware that they aren't as extreme as Eco-nut Gore :rolleyes:

Anyway, it was an off-hand comment, I didn't mean for you all to take it so seriously.

Ownt! I so live another day. Too bad i did things that i will now be in Jail for life.


Jk lol.

But the effects dont have to be immediate. The weather in my area is unusually high today. Its been freezing for a while, now its like you dont need a coat, just a shirt and a hoodie.

I live in NY myself, it's been like this for a while now.

Up and down.

Few weeks ago it was high 50s then the week after 30s and below.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
