Damnit! Who let Socrates in here again? /gets broom and starts pushing

Shoo! Begone philosopher! Nobody likes your kind!

I just want to say this YouTuber got a sub from me last night. Went into his back catalogue and recent videos were really good and I learned a few nice things.

Regarding fc1.1, I really like the update. These guys are on the gas and making substantial updates. I can’t overstate how .9 whatever was hard to use vs 1.0 and now 1.1 is another leap again. It’s just great to see.

I speak as someone that only started learning any CAD as a hobby in the last 5 years. I’ve toyed with every (free) program short of going the pirate route and I’m really glad to see a FOSS alternative start to step up.

I do still have a laundry list of things I’d like to see them fix/change. But as is, it’s working well enough for my use cases!

I was the same way. I started with OpenSCAD and it made way more sense at first.

But what drove me to FreeCAD was when my parts started getting more and more complicated. I think it was being able to chamfer or fillet all the things that really pushed me.

I am in awe of experts of either program though. I think I still really love how openSCAD is so much easier to understand the steps someone took to get to a finished model when you look at other people’s work. And you can just lift pieces out and reuse them.

Umm, I think they can read.

I guess it depends if it’s sequel or prequel. Maybe it’s flashbacks.

Agent Carter started well enough and the premise was fine at first but IIRC the writing in the second season kind of went off the rails. I was hoping for “origin of SHIELD” and we got some romp in Hollywood or something? Kind of forgettable.

Maybe I am remembering wrong but that would probably prove my point more…

Edit: meant to reply directly to OP but I guess it works here because I agree with the above assesment too lol

My second guess is just… Wow…

Dwarf Fortress.

And, I mean pre-steam release.

The ASCII graphics, controls and everything about it were not appealing to me. I started playing it because of the Boatmurdered story and some friends trying to recreate that. We started playing and rotating fortresses on a random Friday night.

And once things started to click? I put way too much time into it. I’d eventually mod it and make it easier to play but I put many many hours into it.

I wouldeventually put the game down after that initial burst and then years later the steam release came, making it much more enjoyable and well… A couple thousand hours later I still keep going back to it.

Oh shit, I was thinking in the same dimensions. My dumb! Yeah, aluminum is brilliant then!

Wow. You complained about a petty downvote, then responded with an insult and “I’m going to block you”. Incredible cognitive dissonance here. If a silent downvote was petty, what else could be more petty?

And just to drive home my point, I’m also going to block *you *after I post this!

Conversation is such a fucking waste of time in this place.

That’d make it too easy to lift off the counter though!

…because inventor Samuel Morse was american? Or is this a whoosh moment… I feel like I’m missing something…

I went into this expecting to do a lot worse than this!

I like to think I’m a tech savvy parent and the amount of tooth gnashing to setup and maintain child accounts is incredible. I’m convinced the foxes guarding the henhouse are using dark patterns to make parents give up.

Why can’t I just get a notification on my phone saying “Hey, kiddo wants to have screen time. Approve?”

Hell, I’d love a notification saying “Kiddo started watching Mr. Blah.” If I got the notification and I didn’t want them watching that, I could block the video, or creator with a click. WHY ARE WE NOT AT THIS LEVEL OF CONVENIENCE?

A LOT of these concerns would go away if phones/tablets/tv’s had these simple controls. Move those privacy controls into the home and MAKE them so easy a neanderthal could operate them.

If I have to *.newsocialbook.com into my router, you can bet your damn ass that “LiveLaughLoveMom<3” is going to keep demanding that someone else do it for her.

I would say the Tim’s card would imply from an era the company was less shit (RIP their OG Ham & Swiss sandwich with the crunchy bread).

But I don’t think Tim’s ever had a loyalty card did they? Maybe a roll up the rim “free coffee” they forgot to ever cash in.

Ask politely, show a genuine interest, and don’t try to undermine what they say. Also read the room if it’s going into a topic that someone doesn’t feel comfortable talking about and be ready to learn another day!

Not everyone is an activist though. And even those that are, they need down time sometimes. I get it’s tough for those on the spectrum to understand, but in this context, let people at the table just play the fucking game.

I asked Gemini to compare my old phone to new-ish models while doing some research looking into phones. And I quote: “The [redacted] is a dinosaur. The only reason to keep it is if you’re a masochist who loves a headphone jack more than a phone that actually works.”

Yeah, fuck LLM’s. This phone is perfectly cromulent. It pissed me off so much I decided to not buy a new phone that day.
