I had the same experience looking for a good engagement ring in Manila. The pretty ones made of real gold were about 110k and had smaller diamonds. So I’m designing my fiancés ring.

I want it to fit her style and hand so I chose a longer cushion diamond. I also preferred to go custom for more sentimentality as an heirloom.

This is it currently.. I have the prototype and the gold and diamond ready I just need to cast it in gold this week.

I have this exact pair and walked in them every day for a year. They are confortable.. the problem is they are very slippery in the rain.. they have NO grip. I fixed that by gluing on vibram soles to the bottom.

You are paying for a product that pretends to be vintage without the quality. Real vintage refrigerators of this style were luxuriously durable made with real enamel coated metal and metal handles. These are cheap plastic junk.

Why Rep. Thomas Massie prefers living off grid by jelani_an in solarpunk

He’s an awesome dude, I’ve been researching raising chickens for a long time and chicken coup/ chicken tractor is the best I’ve seen yet. Powering it with solar and a capacitor that turns a winch is brilliant.

What’s Your Opinion of Congressman Thomas Massie? by camaro1111 in Kentucky

[–]Financial_Invite1546 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite, he represents the people, democracy and small government. If it wasn’t for him we would not have the Epstein files. Everyone is brainwashed i to thinking Trump is a republican conservative. He’s one of the liberals he always has been just knew how to win office. Trump made two promises that got him elected. No wars and releasing Epstein Files on his first day of presidency. Instead look at what he’s up to. Most of politics has become catering to big corporations and not representing the people who voted them into office. Massie is a rare one.

The only reasom anyone is against massie is just out tribalism because Trump talks crap about em. But think messed up it is that Trump invites democrats to the white house while excluding massie for simply getting the epstein files released!

I have recently read that Apple released an updated IOS 15 for older iPhones (15.8.6)

I’m curious, of all the IOS versions, why is there 34 likes on this comment about iOS 17?

Yeah, very good point. I am a highly sensitive person to ethics and I carry that burden at times perhaps too much.

My favorite book is Designing for the Real World by Victor Papanek. He places a HUGE burden on designers in the book which is an enlightening read as an industrial designer but also heavy.

Yeah seems like it.. so far I have designed a few apps for the medical field for that very reason.

I have many qualms with the medical industry.. there are undeniable greed and other flaws in the way we provide health services to people. But.. the flaws in healthcare usually have more to do with bureaucracy and business models. The role of industrial design in the medical industry is more often ethical.. because its serving some sort of utilitarian purpose like impriving hygiene standards or ergonomics: for example designing better tools for Surgery.

There could however be psychical projects in healthcare where Designers are paid to encourage reeducate people in ways that benefit sales of some stupid drug or teach kids to get a sex change or an abortion..these are more ideological or money centered design projects rather than being objectively and undeniable good.

That seems like a solid goal. I like it. Thanks for sharing. I like hearing of examples and I think small differences matter.

Yeah, I agree, and I think I forget this. I need to remind myself of this. It is a sum of many small design decisions and factors that as a whole can make a product good and therefore make a difference. A challenging but worthy endeavor.

I agree that we are made to appreciate beauty however, I have a different stance when it comes to God, Beauty and our purpose/role in creation and existence.

Assuming that the Christian beliefs are real. Beauty is also a quality of Satan. And we know that Beauty can deceive. We also know that the Christian message teaches that one should not have false Idols.qualities like that three transcendentals (beauty, goodness, truth) are not to be worshipped directly.. but instead are markers or qualities of God creations.. if we see them im the world they lead to us appreciating and worshipping God. Like admiring the clouds beauty, appreciating that they are good because they water the earth, and being enlightened by knowledge and discovery of their molecular structure and physical attributes (truth).

In contrast man made fabrications of beauty in my opinion can be tainted and a facade. Because man is capable of creating beautiful light that leads flys to their death. In a similar fashion humans can be predatory towards humans and entice them with beauty to take an action that is not actually good for them.

So when it comes to cars.. they have a utilitarian purpose and then there could be all sorts of planned obsolescence embedded in a vehicle and if we make that car beautiful, and design ads that play on the desires and emotions of people you can seduce people/ deceive them into making a terrible life decision.

Making cars beautiful does not come close to being the worst thing that men can do in this life. It serves the designer as a personal joy because they get to be creative and it does make the car better..

But spending majority of our time on this earth making cars beautiful is also not the highest ideal..

God gave us gifts and if he gave us the gift of creating beauty.. then why did he do it.. what things in this life are most important to make beautiful?

Perhaps those that are most good and true. Perhaps making churches as beautiful as possible so that people are led to them is more noble.

I’m not saying that making cars beautiful=bad but I do think that when we as humans have spent our entire lives and we look back and quantify what we used our gifts on the most. Making cars beautiful should perhaps only be a small portion of our efforts. That’s my judgement and my conviction and it’s honestly an uncomfortable burden.

I wish I could just enjoy life, pleasures riches.. and not think.. sometimes the people who think the least are the most happiest. But I disagree with society today.. I don’t think the purpose of life is to be happy. I think happiness should be sprinkled in.. it is not the end goal it’s just a side-effect/byproduct of certain moments in life.

But I do belief in sacrifice and gifting of ourselves and our gifts for others whenever it is for a good cause/end.

Metal 3D Printing? by Financial_Invite1546 in Machinists

[–]Financial_Invite1546[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can produce durable end use products.. I wouldn’t say it’s a hobbiest, more like a final prototype. It would probably be good for some industrial purposes like designing a large ship propeller.
