If.

Fun fact: 200-foot radio towers are free. You can take them home. I have 257 200-foot radio towers.

You’re correct in a lot of languages; Excel comes to mind. Just that’s not how int rand() works in C.

Sorry, I don’t why you’re getting snark and even being accused of using the word “integer”.

How can you enjoy your tea without a window?

It’s what percentage of countries have one that would matter.

That’s fucked.

“We need some one to play Rosa Parks.”

“Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic.”

They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.

This is just more propaganda from the People’s Front of Judea.

One is allowed to call a joke gross regardless of the definition of a joke.

Maybe I’ve always just felt a Roblox-shaped hole in my heart.

I’m happy to hang out in the “no, you won’t” camp with. But the support the idea of a Texit lately is markedly ramped up. (The idea was never without support.) Part of me kinda suspects that some of the “think tank” minds are worried about losing Texas in the general mostly due to the overturning Roe still hanging over their heads.

If Texas is purple while CA is solid blue, then everyone will hate the Electoral College. The “think tank” conservatives can’t have that.

So I agree, secession is unlikely, but IMO that’s because it isn’t a ballot initiative like Brexit. Not because the people saying it aren’t serious.

That’s easier to boycott than diapers, my friend.

I’m a bit worried that the plan for the secessionists is to do something so spectacular (literally) as to try to cause there to be good reason to “pause to election”.

Just so then, they can prove Biden to be a dictator, and actually have an argument. Pausing an election would be truly unsettling.

So if there is a crisis about Electoral College stating of states close to November, that’s a powder-keg situation.

I’m honestly not claiming we need to avoid this kind of crisis. Just saying be careful what you wish for.

Buying cat litter when you also need diapers and have to shop with a baby in tow? I’ll be anti-consumer next year.

Ever used photoshop with an undo history? It’s particularly nice for text based commands.

Actually that’s a great place for some “I want to help but I don’t know computers” people to jump in.

That makes total sense. I was on my way to mechanical engineering when I was learning autocad and autodesk mechanical desktop if you remember that. Now it’s just in autocad. (I guess that’s an example of how things used to unshittify. I bet adobe would bring back MD as a separate product nowadays.)

So if you try to enter woodworking after that experience, it feels right to model projects like that. I had learned a lot of coding by this point. So adding the code into parts for flexibility felt great.

This is going to sound complicated. That’s because I bet you can do this with one click. But I thought it was cool I model a compound mitre angle for a cut using numbers I calc’d on Octave (matlab-like foss). Since I’m just a tinkerer, I could only imagine how powerful that could be for pros. Lots of “where was this when I needed it” thoughts.

I tried qcad around 2010 or so and found the UI horrible compared to autocad that I was used to. At this point in my life, drafting was pretty useless. So I had no reason to have cad unless it was free.

I found OpenScad in Y2020 and was amazed at how far it had come. It felt much more like the commercial stuff, at least to me, who was behind the times anyway.

I was disappointed not to see one. That’s not a ‘no’, but I did look for one.

I just thought in hindsight, my response to you plugging freecad is funny.

It’s like you took me into your workshop with all these benches, and I just point at the openscad bench like a caveman and grunt “scad”.

Humans are horrible, but a main-stream social media platform should not be a celebration of it. People need to demand change and then leave if ignored. I seem to hear people demanding change. The next step has more impetus.
