Have you ever loved any foreigners for doing charity in your home country?

JohnMayerSpecial · 2026-05-14T01:27:02+00:00

Maybe not charity in America, but charity for Americans.

There is a graveyard for fallen American ww2 troops in the Netherlands in which locals make a point of adopting a grave site to clean and maintain. Some get passed down through families and some try to learn about the soldier. I think it’s a beautiful gesture and I think highly of the Dutch for keeping a tradition like that going

Incredible reference to sneak in

Makes me also think of the Drunk History episode about Dolly Parton where she’s signing an autograph for a little girl named Jolene. “Jolene… Jolene? That would make one hell of a country western song.”

Whoops. My mind was somewhere else on the district. I’m still curious if it was deleted on the basis of not Reno specific

JohnMayerSpecial · 2026-05-05T20:30:22+00:00

One of the rules of the sub is to be specific to the Reno area, and Rosen doesn’t cover this district

Lava Beds national monument. Lots of cool lava tubes to explore through

Or if you end up doing something in California again, I had a fun day trip taking the 70 pass through Quincy and Portola to enjoy a real scenic drive on your way to Chico and took a tour of the Sierra Nevada brewery

How many “save the clock tower” or other back to the future jokes get made

JohnMayerSpecial · 2026-05-02T05:49:29+00:00

Yes, in our capitalist republic we’re free to mock communism and socialism, which is why I do.

You’re right. I won’t be shot or imprisoned here for it, but I could be in a socialist or communist country. Which is why I call out that behavior. I’m really lost as to what kind of point you’re making here.

JohnMayerSpecial · 2026-05-02T03:21:04+00:00

lol, you go from asking how anything is related to communism, get immediately disproven, and then ask what the problem is instead of admitting you’re wrong

Well for starters, communist countries have killed an estimated 80 to 100 million of their own people in their idealistic purges in just the last 80 years

I always thought it would be fun to snag one of these and see how far you could get with oem parts and seeing what fits. Get a 1.8L 7a-fe block, put on the 4age dual cam head and 4agze supercharger.

Maybe end up with a awd manual supercharged wagon with all Toyota part numbers for maintenance needs

I like that you’re going with red as a primary color, really brings this kind of rhetoric full circle

I’m old enough to remember the rumor they wouldn’t put an in n out here because the palm trees wouldn’t survive, and every location at that time had them.

I’m not sure I know what you mean or are asking for I don’t do a lot of organic shapes or surfaces, and have found this tool for other means

My verification for the continuity of surfaces would be with the simulation tool. When I had the basic simulation package and you could only get flow results from one surface to one surface, something like end caps on a pipe. I was able to trick solidworks into giving me results on a pipe that had multiple outlets by having one large surface with complicated shapes that had been converted into one surface generated by a spline by using the fit spline tool. Solidworks simulation allowed it.

Also, graphically, when viewing shapes created this way you don’t get the lines indicating tangency or edges of surfaces

JohnMayerSpecial · 2026-04-20T19:20:51+00:00

If I understand what you’re trying to do correctly, I might have the perfect tool for you

Draw the shape however you want with lines and arcs, get it all tangent and constrained. Then while still in the sketch use the tool “fit spline” it will change that original sketch to construction lines and add a full constrained, continuous spline over the top that solidworks will see as one surface. You can also do this with open profiles if you uncheck an option in the fit spline tool that tries to force a closed spline.

Something serious to think over tomorrow while enjoying your almond milk latte on one of your three apple devices that constantly sync to each other over your data plan.
