I think they’re overtrained by fear based training like Killology. They’re afraid of everything. I guess we can now add acorns to the long list of things that justify astounding incompetence and willful endangerment of others.

I don’t write them down anymore and don’t have them as often as I used to but every single one of the future dreams that came to pass were dreams of totally ordinary events and conversations.

Always brief, a moment of realization that it’s happening confirmed by the next 10-30 seconds of events. It has always happened in a social setting. At work, at school, but never at home.

Once in a while part of it doesn’t happen. For example the future memory included a brief conversation and even though everything else in the moment is just like the dream, the conversation part doesn’t come to pass. That has only occurred twice to my recollection.

I personally take it as an indicator that I’m exactly where I’m “supposed” to be, whatever that means.

Cable companies say they’ll will raise the price without early termination fees? Oh please. They’ll do that whether there’s early termination fees or not. They’re just threatening to bump it up on the schedule.

Before you take the plunge, do some research and consider what you will be printing for most often.

This is an overgeneralization but there are two main types of printing methods-- vat polymerization and material extrusion.

The set up pictured in this post is VP. It uses light and mirrors to cure resin layer by layer. I think the main advantage to this method is fine detail and less post production polish. The main disadvantage is, unless you have a lot of money, you have a smaller printing space. Excellent method for artistic works such as miniatures.

The other way is basically pushing a plastic wire through a hot nozzle layer by layer. The main advantage is that it’s faster, cheaper, and offers more printing space at entry level prices. The disadvantage is that the lines will be quite apparent and will require more post processing work for a clean look. Really good for rapid prototyping and functional prints.

Although it is a helpful skill to have, you don’t need to know how to make 3d models. There’s a ton of free models for just about anything you can think of.
