  • It’s not even a hard thing to recognize. The most authoritative piece on Monsters, Monster Hunter, explains this in detail. And here I am in Elden Ring with all “dragon this, dragon that” and I’m like where are these fucking dragons? Dragons have 6 limbs, these fuckers all have 4.

    Then I realized George RR Martin made the same mistake with his “dragons” in SOFA. So now I’m thinking he worked on Elden Ring as a propaganda piece to try and push the idea of 4 limbed dragons, or at least try to get the four-legged with wings attached to two to fall into that category. I can understand the confusion, but developing a whole videogame to push your mistake isnt very cool.


  • So my insurance currently covers a lifetime benefit of like $20k or something for these meds. I used to be on Saxenda, but I couldn’t get it filled and the weight came right back.

    However, I actually started gaining weight before I stopped taking it - because some big stressors re triggered my poor eating habits. Had that not occurred, and I was able to continue to lose weight and not sought out my poor habits before, I think it would have been significantly easier to keep the weight off.

    That being said, I think insurance companies are trying to delay as much as they can for these drugs to go generic. They currently just cost way too fucking much for something that can benefit most Americans because of shit eating habits.

    On another note: my sleep apnea didn’t go away as I lost weight. I was very disappointed.










  • I have done this with both, and honestly, the resin miniatures, while impressive, are a fuckload of work to remove the supports from, clean, cure, and dispose of the uncured resin and prep for the next plate. The hazard they present isn’t terribly noticeable until it is. Ventilation is probably necessary for all 3D printers, but unless you have outdoor or purpose built external venting, resin will bother you eventually.

    As for FDM, you can do it, but it will never reach resin detail. On a 0.2mm nozzle, for instance it would clog too much, or print too slow and something would end up interfering with the print. A 0.4mm does alright, but you’ll want to do some abrasive finishing and some thicker layers of primer.

    It also depends on your plastic, how much you are willing to tweak your printer, etc. unfortunately, unlike resin, once you dial in the settings you will have to monitor it as the plastic absorbs moisture, the extruder and other gears wear down ever so slightly. Ambient temperature will affect how well layers stick, and slight breezes will be noticable.
