Booming Blade:

You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you.

Extra attack:

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

I think we can agree that Booming Blade is casting a spell (a cantrip). Obviously I can't use Booming Blade twice.

But does the fact that it's a spell that makes a melee weapon attack count as "taking the attack action"?

In other words - if I cast Booming Blade, am I locked out of Extra Attack because I took a "Cast a Spell" action instead of an "Attack" action? Or do I still get an extra attack because casting the spell made me take the Attack action?

Yeah, originally I had kept all the settings stock but I was having issues with bed adhesion and stringing when I swapped to a different PETG brand. I played with my extrusion rate until that other filament (Overture PETG) printed mostly okay... but honestly that filament still gave me issues on the first layer (mostly edge curling on the bed) so I just ate the extra cost and swapped back to Prusament.

I suppose it probably couldn't hurt to try a print with all the stock settings just to rule things out.

Interesting - I'm using the stock values for feedrate (max 200 mm/s for XY; 12 for Z; 120 for E; no min feedrate specified), but those are probably tuned for the stock hotend and I can imagine they probably differ for the Revo.

The only thing I can find for the Revo that seems like it would give the numbers I need is this page which talks about max flow rate, but that's different than feed rate (I'd imagine). The linked calculator puts my settings well within standard limits.

I can't seem to find anything else online about it - is it just bringing the XYE values down via trial and error, or is there some formula I can use to calculate the correct feed rate?

 

I'm glad this happened on the first layer of a 2-day print, at least.

I'm using Revo's recommended settings for PETG, on a 0.6mm nozzle, printed with Prusament PETG.

I haven't printed anything since July, and this is the second print in a week. The first print was mostly fine, but had some strange artifacts on one end of the print which I attributed to Octoprint acting up (I've since sanded them away so I don't have pictures). Just to be safe, I greased the smooth rods, checked the belt tightness, and re-ran XYZ calibration + first layer calibration.

I watched this whole first layer get put down - everything seemed to be absolutely fine, with a couple "zits" in one section (actually right next to where the blob landed; you can see them in the second picture).

The print head lifted up to start another section of the print and this massive glob of PETG fell off the hotend and landed right on the print, which forced me to cancel. Then I noticed a big ol' glob on the nozzle too (no idea where it came from). Trying to remove it broke the silicone sock.

I've ordered a new nozzle just in case this one is worn, but I'm curious if anyone has any ideas as to what could be the underlying issue here? My retraction length is 1.1mm with a retraction speed of 27 mm/sec.

The array of different disabilities is so vast - a controller which works for one player may not work for another.

That only works if Dems actually support those things. The only policies Dems can run on are the things that the most conservative Dems support.

Basically - every Democratic policy is dictated by whatever Manchin and Sinema decide they're okay with. Otherwise the party is going to be known as the party of broken promises.

I mean, there are some nits I can pick.

Places don't feel as alive as they did in the original. The original was still deeply flawed, mind - but this goes even further than that.

A great example - when there was a firetruck putting out a fire in the original, you could see little dudes squirting water. CS2 doesn't even have guys come out; the fire just magically goes away. Multiply this by... everything.

There's no bikes (at least as far as I can tell), and the pedestrian path tooling seems to be a huge step back (the only dedicated pedestrian path I can find is technically considered a 2-lane road, but it doesn't allow cars).

The music has these cute little segments inbetween. But there's only like... 5 of them. Once you hear all 5, you've heard everything and they start to grate. The other 2 "radio stations" don't have the NPR segments, but they do have "ads"... and by "ads" they mean exactly 1 ad that you hear every time for "Spaz Electronics". You can turn the ads off but I'd expect more than just a single one.

Everything overreacts to anything you build. If you upgrade a road, it technically disconnects power + water + sewage for a hot second. Then you get a bunch of spam about "I don't have any power!" blah blah even though the game was paused and they absolutely had power.

It's really hard to see what trips Cims are taking. The original let you see the paths Cims took throughout your city, which let you make informed decisions around public transport. Now you can just see... how much traffic there is? Which doesn't tell you anything about where Cims are going, just where you have bottlenecks. It very much encourages a "just 1 more lane, bro" kind of thinking.

Not having a wide variety of public transport options is a bummer. It feels like they left some stuff out for a future DLC (e.g. monorails).

There's no light shining from the camera at nighttime, so it can get actually literally pitch black at night. Like "turn off the day/night cycle because this is unplayable" levels of dark. A subtle light coming from the camera when not in photo mode would've done wonders.

The zoning information is really hard to read. I can't tell what areas I have zoned with something else because it colors areas from other zones as white and unzoned areas as clear... on a mostly white background. It's really really hard to tell at-a-glance what needs to still be zoned in some cases.

The more I play it, the more it feels like CS1 is the sequel and CS2 is the original. There's just so much that's not done as well or that's simply not there. The stuff they added is cool, sure... but like, I wish it was additive on top of what we had before, and not "back at square one". It just makes me want to play the original.

All these people forgetting about the Wiggles.

The Wiggles at one point were the highest-grossing Australian band of all time, beating out AC/DC. (I don't think that's true anymore though.)

I'm not OP, but generally the term is machine learning engineer. You get a computer science degree with a focus in ML.

The jobs are fairly plentiful as lots of places are looking to hire AI people now.

No, they would not.

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Congress has the power to do whatever to the Supreme Court. It's explicit, unlike the power to declare something unconstitutional. Congress is the check on SCOTUS.

I mean, in the late 2000s I was kind of a shitty person. But in like 2014 I realized I was a piece of shit and started to work on myself.

I stopped basing my personality on how many girls I could land and started just focusing on myself and not on relationships. I spent 2 years guiding myself to a much better place, and then in 2016 I met my current fiance.

More concerning than Bethesda's decision to withhold early review codes from certain outlets is how heavily some sites are relying on the game to drive their business.
