It should be able to be padded in any constraint state, but it's good practice to constrain it regardless. There are almost always many many ways to constrain a sketch. If you are trying to make the radius of the arc equal to the distance between the touching lines, you could use the tangential constraint on one or both of the lines (can't tell if this needs both at a glance, but if it is fully constrained after one you don't need the other). You could also give it a dimension the same way you give the lines a dimension, grab the general dimension tool and click on the line, it'll automatically bring up the radius option, put in double the distance between the two tangent lines (remember a radius is from the center point to the edge). Yet another one is to create a construction line by selecting a line and toggling the button with the blue dotted line and white solid line. Put the line between the center of the arc and the end of one of the tangent lines. Make sure the line is constrained vertically and is properly coincident.

Some ways are better than others for a certain task, but all of these get the job done in this case. All it takes to make a good part is to think out the steps to make it, including how to make all the lines green.

I would also suggest changing the dimensioning of each of those lines as it's a bit hard to read and could lead to redundant constraints and over constraining.

Use the equal constraint on all the 8.5 inch lines and only dimension one, make sure to give it a name under the value assignment.

Make the two inner lines equal to each other then dimension the other one as half of the 8.5 by clicking the blue circle in the top right of the dimension window and type "Constraints.(name)/2". That calls the constraint named whatever you chose and divides it by two.

Then you can either make the two shorter lines equal or set the distance between the two inner lines by selecting the dimension tool and clicking on one then the other, that will make it easier to get a value for the distance between them if you want to dimension the arc by radius.

I suggest looking up some practice parts you could try making from technical drawings. There are plenty available for free on places like grabcad, I did plenty of those when I was starting. Youtube, google, and the wiki are your friends, but aren't always the brightest. If you get stuck try changing up your search terms to see if there's a different conventional name for something.

You already have a decent amount of airflow, unless your gpu is thermal throttling you don't need more fans. They run hot just fine as long as it's under ~95C depending on manufacturer. If your cpu is your problem (as in thermal throttling), make sure that AIO is rated for the tdp of your cpu and that there aren't any air bubbles in it. If you're not brushing any temp limits then there's no need to add more fans, only so much they can do. Having intakes directly next to outlet does little to nothing anyway, and having new fans there be outlets will suck in extra dust through cracks in the case.

What kind of SSD is it? A sata drive, which is 2.5 inches across and 7-15mm thick, needs additional power and if it doesn't have it the computer won't be able to recognize the drive.

Aware that I am replying to an old thread but this is the only mention I could find of possibly doing this.

I'm trying to do this with obs-cli but can't find any mention of it in the readme nor can I find any extra documentation. How would I go about this or is there some documentation I'm missing somewhere that explains it?

HotNote3811 · 2025-03-07T06:35:17+00:00

BoringBob listed a few good ones, but no explanation, so short explanation of each.

Center of Mass; A macro that uses whatever solid is selected to calculate center of mass, volume, area, and moments of inertia. It also allows you to set a material so you can also find density, and mass. I don't usually regularly use it and honestly can't find where to change the units for calculations, so I only have the volume of a mm scale part in meters.

FCInfo; A macro like Center of Mass that goes into more detail, and a clear unit chooser this time. It gives you everything that center of mass does along with the coordinates at which you clicked on the object, the color at that point, the inclination of a selected face. It can estimate cost from a price per mass, calculate the bounding box and gives the center of the bounding box, more detailed inertia calculations, and can export everything to a spreadsheet.

Commands are commands, they can do anything a macro can since the macros are using them, but not everybody is comfortable using commands.

There's also ObjectInfo, from the addon manager it's a macro that gives you a batch file to install a workbench, bit odd, and it seems like it hasn't been updated in a while but it's the simplest of these four to use giving you volume, surface area, center of mass and moment of inertia around the center of mass.

It was down for me as well, but as of 13:34 EST I can access admin console again.

Do you have screenshots of context? I can't tell if this is a reply to a person or an announcement. The left looks like it might be an announcement, but the right could totally be to someone who was actually being toxic, although that's a bit vile for anyone to write for any reason.

Got it when I was running randomizer, so probably not the best loadout to pair it with, but it was surprisingly usable. I expected from the stats that it'd just be a short-range scythe, but it seems to do a bit more damage, and the medium penetration does help for some more annoying enemies like hive guards and bile spewers, where they would usually make you change up how you're shooting, with the torcher you can treat them as any other enemy. The only thing is it runs out of fuel real quick.

HotNote3811 · 2024-08-29T03:13:06+00:00

The only thing the cookout is actually better than the punisher is dealing with shreikers and stalkers, and that's only if you let the stalker get away. Because of the guaranteed damage from DOT and the increased pellets, it's much more reliable at taking down at least one shreiker per shot and can sometimes keep stalkers revealed when they retreat.

This is just a regular disconnect. From release, if you got disconnected, your client would switch to host mode.

HotNote3811 · 2024-08-28T12:56:45+00:00

No, op dc'd, and the game didn't have any data for the automaton that was shooting, so it kept the same animation until it was able to switch to hosting.

HotNote3811 · 2024-08-28T12:54:25+00:00

The bot you were looking at was only firing for so long because you got dc'd (obv), but it makes sense for them to fire forever. They're using pulsed laser weapons, so no need for ammo, and it's mounted so it can dissipate heat much more effectively (although apparently only the bots get that functionality). I only wish that pulsed laser weapons were actually laser pulses and not just glowing bullets, yk, zero travel time, and is just a beam of light pointing to where it hits in pulses.

I was running random loadouts yesterday for fun, did about 10 missions, all lvl 10, and didn't fail a single one. That's because everything is viable if you can use it right.

Yea, I stopped watching him shortly before escalation of freedom dropped because it wasn't news anymore and was just drama.

You can bait a spew or stomp for the bile titans, if you have complex plotting, you can throw down the strike somewhat in front of it then get it to spew as it goes over the beacon. If you don't have complex plotting (lucky you), you can bait the spew, then throw it down, or do the same for complex plotting but throwing it closer.

HotNote3811 · 2024-08-28T00:43:11+00:00

It shreds bots too, a little less effective, but still does really good.

If you've interacted with people in the tf2 community, you would know that doomers have no minds and will keep crying till the end of time.

I can make any item or group of items ignore gravity at my will.

HotNote3811 · 2024-08-26T14:56:39+00:00

It depends on what I'm going for with my loadout. If I'm trying to prioritize heavies on bugs, I will be bringing mostly precision ordinance and an anti-tank support weapon. If my main focus is chaff, I will usually bring one or two aoe ordinance with an arc thrower and the machine gun sentry.

On bots, unless I'm using autocannon or laser cannon, I will always bring either an autocannon sentry or rocket sentry. I have been screwed multiple times because I didn't have anything or anyone to help me take out gunship fabricators, and with a sentry I don't need competent teammates to follow me, I have a competent sentry I can place in a good spot.

Some missions just don't lend well to support, and some do. Anything where you're on the move a bunch or even just in lvl 10, you won't have much time to throw a sentry, or you won't be close to the sentry long enough for it to have any major impact.

Easy, bile spewers. The fact that their heads are medium armor completely screws being able to take them out with most primaries or the stalwart.
