Wait..they sell games, too?
Maybe it's Maybelline?
Low incidence, very low number of centers, striking change which reverses in two months: Operator (new staff) or recording error (new system for recording or identifying) would be the first two things you would need to rule out. Specific locality of residence of the mothers would be the next research. Cross-referencing of the OB/Gyn provider would be next (creepy, yes - but one doctor covering a population area this size would see far more than this number of patients over an 8 week period). Manmade environmental factors would probably be next (leak, spill?). Covid, while not a remote guess given the timing, is pretty far down the list of likely suspects imo.
It's good to see that reddit-level discourse has arrived.
Normally, I would agree. For a teen living at home and (based on the price range) without a dedicated space, I think it's the preferable of the two options. Having known someone severely burned by an errant spark around IPA, and with the added complications of disposing of contaminated IPA, waterborne is the lesser of evils. I 100% agree that I should have pointed out that "water washable" doesn't mean rinse/clean off in a sink that leads to a private septic or public treatment system.
That's incorrect. The existence of the terrorist groups are the result of Resolution 181 and the ensuing war that established the modern day boundaries of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.
The continued support for these terrorists groups has been bolstered in part by the heavy-handed tactics of Israel and the animosity between Israel and regional powers, but the original sin here was the British (and much of the western world) cowtowing to Zionists to create a theoretical two-state solution from scratch and overlaying it on an existing mixed-background area known as Palestine.
There are a lot of movie parts here, but the simple enmity between hardline Muslims and hardline Jews predates pretty much everyone currently alive on this planet.
yes(?), but it appears to have open signups at the moment.
im looking into making mini figures and painting them
Boom, right there should limit your section to SLA/resin printers, not FDM as most people here are suggesting. At $100 budget you're down in the absolute basement of printers, and will have to find a machine on sale. Good news for you is that this is the month of sales (Black Friday month). You are looking at either an Anycubic Mono (out of production, I think) or Mono 2 when they go on sale, or mayby an Elegoo Mars - I'd expect to see it between $99-119 sometime this month. (there's a monoprice mini SLA printer for $70 out there, but I don't know how good it is)
There are two things to know about resin: the liquid used is toxic, so someplace with ventilation and a supply of cheap latex/vinyl/nitrile gloves are a must, as is a workspace which can be easily cleaned (they sell silicone mats...its a good idea; you might try ordering misc stuff from TEMU for your accessory list to save some cash) and a roll of paper towels is going to be necessary. The second is that standard resin requires 95% or higher isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean the prints, and to clean up the machine parts. That can get expensive, too - so SKIP IT and get Water Washable resin. It will cost more, but the ease (and lower odor) in clean up will be worth it, especially if your parents would rather you not be slinging flammable IPA around the house.
You do NOT need a dedicated wash and curing station. It's a luxury you can't afford, so just skip it (for now). There are lots of videos about how to clean parts using a two-bin or three-bin method and they just use cheap dollar-store plastic bins or used buckets (do not use tupperware you eat from...water washable is still toxic, okay?). Then, just set your prints in the sun for a few minutes - it even works on a cloudy day (clouds only block a fraction of UV).
You should be able to make table-top sized miniatures for painting in one go, or make them as two or three parts for bigger models. The detail you get out of an SLA printer will be worlds better than an FDM (extrusion) printer and require a lot less sanding, filling, and misc post-processing prior to painting.
Quick edit: @[email protected] - Creality is also having a sale this month and there are two SLA printers on sale in the $99 range. The nicer (bigger) one is currently out of stock, but you might check back and see if it comes back in. Nearly all of the small SLA printers in this range are very similar, though you should read up in their forums just to see if there are some crazy problems everyone is having with a specific model (no news is probably good news).
Worse - I reloaded all my info (3 accounts and some filters) and then after a day it crashed. When I reopened the app…all the logins gone again and I had to start from scratch. (IOS 17).
F,M,K
Huh, my page is empty.
Put one in the win column for Surfshark. (and a tip of the hat to TopCashBack, who is rebating me 80-90% of my recent 2 year renewal)
