    I can guess, Jim will have won but I wonder at what cost?

    I had forgotten about Hitarn taking over, seems getting rid of that slug
    of a man has caused way more changes than I had thought. Although I had
    hoped he and Loria would get together. Glad to hear they are considering
    joining, with effort and a bit luck the core humans can be a member in
    good standing. There will be some bad blood I’m sure, especially in the
    Catians area, but I’m sure it will work out for the most part,
    it wasn’t too hard for them to accept the Terrans.

    Make preserving land profitable, I wonder how they will decide? True,
    in our world they would not go for it because taking a loss for 5 years
    is nothing managers do. I assume things work differently in the Empire
    for this scheme to have a chance to work. Which leaves marketing and
    public perception. True, it will take 5 years to become profitable with
    some backup from the government and of course how that can be
    made look in the public eye.

    I had wondered about Lamia’s position. Interesting.
    Another detail that can be played in many ways.

    I just discovered way back in http://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-557/
    I promised to explain Barnwell and the funding of the school system
    and never did. It’s funny, so it’s the next story. I have so many
    stories in my head, I hope I can tell them all.
    But then, by the time I do, there’ll be more. Sigh. It never ends.

      from what I’ve seen all Catains are good people and way more intelligent
      than most people would expect that lame comment someone had made in
      the comic about their IQ was only 95? Yeah I’d say more than that on average.

        Yeah, the person who made that comment about a 95 IQ is a real asshole.
        Oh, wait, that was me.
        Their average IQ really is about 95, the difference is that they think faster than we do.
        That makes up for a lot. That’s why there are so many Cat officers in the military.
        And there are bad Cats, like the Romani. I just haven’t included many in the story.

          yeah I know I was fudging a bit there lol I have known smart people and
          clever and to be honest it’s hard to tell the clear difference. True there’s
          always bad folk in any society if I recall it has something to do with their
          “walks” and the few who don’t take it. Smacks of the “emo culture”.

          August 21, 2022, 16:37 | # | Reply

          I should say clever people tend to think very quickly and use what they know to solve a problem.
          Smart people study and work through a problem which takes longer but they tend to come up
          with new or a twist on an old way that works out much better. So clever = quick on their “feet”,
          smart = slow and careful study. Which makes the clever Catians better suited for leadership rolls
          in combat.

                So would I (even live actors) but you know the franchise would be ruined. They would insist
                on a wholesale changing of genders, races, sexual preferences, etc until
                the story would be unrecognizable.
                Maybe the Disney of 40 years ago, but not today’s mouse house.
                I would insist on a veto of everything, and loyalty to the Canon.

                    I’m learning that as we speak it is not easy to figure out and I’m only using it to create
                    models for printing the animation aspects are much more complicated plus, unless you
                    have a massively powerful computer it can take days to render a single frame. I have
                    a fairly good gaming system so it’s not as bad but yeah, that’s why it takes 1-3 years
                    for Pixar or Disney to produce their movies and they have whole crews manning the

        It’s been heavily modified so I can print the harder stuff like nylon so I’m working through the kinks
        that the chances created. FDM printers “draw a line” of the filament 0.2 mm each layer and a common
        problem is you get “stringing”, a hair fine lines in the gaps of what you’re printing. It makes the item
        you’re printing look like crap and takes TOO much time to clean up. I’ve been trying to use ideas on
        how to clean it up and so far they’ve just made it worse. So I have to go back over and see where
        I screwed up or go back over my research.

        The reason I’m so annoyed is there is SO many “experts” out there that rarely agree on how to reduce
        or stop stringing/clumping even those who use the same printer. Hours of vids and forum texts to go
        over. it’s extremely annoying.
        I’m hoping to start a business next year but until I master this there’s little hope of ever having the chance.

          I bought a resin printer because I wanted the fine detail. I was
          intending to make figurines such as Miral running, shown on Jason’s desk here:
          http://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-926/ but it proved to be way too difficult.
          So the printer has been sitting, unused.

            so? what is the problem? I’ve been making simple figures an
            accessories (dice boxes & towers) at the local library.
            the biggest issue is print time vs detail,, typical print
            is 6 hours,, but,, for fine detail double the print time.
            AND for fine detail, the figure is printed on
            it’s back,, and in (usually) 3 parts.!
            oh oh alittle trick,, on NON-heated beds,,
            a light coating of cheap hairspray,,
            it helps the ‘base’ stick. but is an easy release.. o.0

              The problem is the number of open vertices and the complexity and fine detail.
              A resin printer doesn’t have a heated bed, it uses a liquid pool of resin hardened
              selectively by UV light.

                I was going to add a resin printer but there’s an issue, I have only 1/3 kidney and my doctor
                warned me I could damage it exposing myself to harsh chemicals and fumes, so I have to have
                a fume cabinet to put it in and make sure the room is well vented. I really don’t want to be on
                dialysis. I got this thing last fall when I was still on chemo and slowly tinkered with it up until
                surgery, gave it a break while I was recovering and I’m just now getting back into it.

                  My Photon-s came in a cabinet with vent fans and filters. Using it, I never smelled the resin.
                  If I needed to, I could have run a dryer flex from the exhaust out the wall.

                    It’s not just the resin the ISO alcohol as well I have a unit picked out it’s a package deal
                    both the printer and the wash/cure system for under $500 Anycubic. I have an old office trailer
                    I’m repairing and re-insulating that would be ideal for a print shop but it’s in rough shape
                    and poorly wired. Door frame is rotted and minor roof repairs most of the problems.

                      That’s what I have, an Anycubic Photon S. They also
                      sell a less toxic resin, although it’s a bit more expensive.

                      I know about it and there’s a wash solution that is fume-less as well but I’d want to sample both first.
                      Costs are a huge issue when starting out I have to look at electric costs, supply costs, shipping costs
                      and so on just to print a simple self-watering flower pot costs altogether $2.46 and that doesn’t include
                      shipping.

                    I don’t know if you know about this but if your alcohol is pretty dirty with the resin you can set the container
                    in the bright sunlight (sealed of course) the resin will cure and sink to the bottom. That way you can reuse
                    it without having to buy fresh often. Just use the resin filters to clear it out. Sorry I had hours and hours of
                    “free time” while on chemo I did a LOT of research and spoke to real print farmers about this stuff. look up
                    Chep, Teaching Tech, and Modbot to name a few these guys all run print farms and do YouTube in their spare time.

                    this is it and I see the price went down a bit! https://www.amazon.com/ANYCUBIC-Photon-Station-Printer-Resin/dp/B093SC6TDS/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1SGBTJANCPLVU&keywords=anycubic+resin+printer+4k&qid=1661218436&sprefix=anycubic+resin+printer%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-5

                      When I bought mine it was cheaper directly from the manufacturer. Great service and communication, too. I’ve learned that many things on Amazon are cheaper direct, I’ve been checking. And I have Prime.

                      That’s how I bought my FDM Creality 3 pro was direct from them, I just use amazon to get an idea
                      and look for the best deal when I actually go to buy one. I’ll need at least 3-4 printers of various sizes
                      and types to really get going. I’ve installed a SD mini to SD adapter, a direct drive extruder, all-metal hot end,
                      custom dryboxes for the hydrosopic filaments, and a hotter heater that (i hope) will be enough for nylon,
                      standard limit on this printer is 260 C and nylon melts best at 270.

              I know Rob I’m getting into the more difficult types of plastic: PETG, ASA, PCP, PC, TPU, and soon
              I hope nylon plus CF nylon. It’s not “boss talk” I am serious about making a living at this not just
              trinkets and statues. Especially PETG and TPU they are awful bad about stringing and clumping.
              I can print PLA all day long hell I printed a full sized barn owl with a noise maker for our barn took
              38 hours!

              BTW elmers glue stick works better and cleans up easier than hair spray plus I use a PEI power-coated
              flex steel bed sheet with a plain back for the glue stick easier to come off and idea for multiple print jobs
              out entire hot fence has insulators I’ve printed and not a single one has broken while the store-bought
              ones barely last a season.

    Some of the most popular items people want is D-n-D figures (NO flippin’ THANK YOU), cosplayers,
    RC car bodies/parts, and quad-copter (drone) parts. Which means carbon fiber infused nylon. VERY
    tricky to print. And pricey to buy, the common rolls of PLA cost around $20 (for a 1 km roll) where
    CB nylon starts at $50-60 a kg (2.2lbs) so bad prints are a costly problem. Also a filament called TPU
    is a rubber-like filament so kid-safe toys can be made.

    I wonder what the odds are she’ll be chosen as King. Best laid plans of Cats and Men.

      I’d agree but the cats want to rule themselves that was made clear back when they were
      planning the attacks etc…

        True, but Loria is more Catian, born and raised among Cats on Catia, than Garion is Jericoan (Jericonese?
        Jerican? Jericoni?) or even Terran. It might depend on what the Catians think of the job she’s doing.

          That is true but in this passing time do you honestly think those two haven’t spoken since the attacks?
          It really comes down to if she’s willing to stay.
