    How does the single mattress in half bit make you think it’s at the top? If it were at the top, the force of the mattress trying to straighten itself out would push it down the stairs. Much more likely the mattress was pushed/ tossed/ fell down the stairs and got folded in that position, imo.

    Edit: the shadows are also indicative of it being at the bottom: light source from above and and from the sides at the base of the stairs, either from an open door or window. Shadow cast from the door light source being cancelled by the light source from above the stairs.




  • I don’t have an exact answer for your question, but I will say that when it comes to shows like these you have to remember that they’re very much TV shows and are heavily edited to present a specific narrative. I’m not saying that’s necessarily bad or nefarious, but you just have to take the events and the way in which they happen with a large serving of salt.

    A family member was approached by their team (Holme’s) to do the cabinets for a home that was being redone in our area. They literally wanted to pay him in exposure. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how a majority of their contracts work; hire a bunch of people to do the actual labor, tell them their payment is in advertising, then stand in front of the camera the whole time and take all the credit when the family shows up.






  • Oh, that just pissed me off.

    Couple weeks ago I was at a bachelor’s party, to which a number of people had brought Magic decks. I knew nothing about the game (never even watched a video), made this clear, and said that I just wanted to watch everyone else play.

    Someone handed me a deck and said, “no buddy, you’re playing!” I protested, but it was fruitless. I’d been roped in; and I was excited! A group of people excited to show a new player their hobby.

    The guy that handed me the deck then proceeded to explain nothing and get increasingly frustrated when I had no idea what he meant when he’d say “uh, no you have to UNTAP your cards first… ok now tap them… yeah I know you just untapped them but tap them 😠🙄” (I still do not know what the point of turning my cards sideways for two seconds was but I guess it’s super important?)

    The other two players were fairly intoxicated and probably didn’t pick up on the toxicity, but the whole table was frustrated with how God awfully slow the game was taking since the new guy just wasn’t getting it. I just wanted to watch.

    Up until now I thought homeboy had just oversimplified a few rules in his head and forgot a thing or two, but seeing that the actual instruction manual is 500+ pages, I’m furious that he had the audacity to forcibly rope a drunk person with zero interest in playing into the game, just to treat them like a moron for not instantly getting it.

  • I see 3 options.

    1, adjust your z-offset. I’m not familiar with prusa’s firmware, but if your first layer is bulging, it could mean your z-offset needs adjusting.

    2, see if your first layer line thickness is set above 100%. By default some slicers lay an extra thick first layer; you might try decreasing this.

    3, get rid of the white on the first layer, and just make the second layer white. This is how I do multi-color lettering/ designs and it works incredibly well. I can show you pictures if my description doesn’t make sense.
