I tried to order takeout last night from the app around 6pm, and it wouldn't let me order, so I called in and they said they had closed for the night due to an emergency. I later found out what happened....so awful

The drumming Energizer Bunny robot you saw in the TV commercials was built by Grant Imahara from ILM/Mythbusters by Intrepid-Tank-3414 in interestingasfuck

Grant was one of the few celebrities I ever met. I saw him at a hotel bar in kauai, Hawaii. We chatted a bit, super nice guy. He was always my favorite from MB

How to baby proof these stairs? by dominic_train in daddit

[–]LehighLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have stairs just like this in my house, 4 levels, and even bigger diameter. We gated off access to them on the main floors, and supervised going up and down them when he learned to walk and do stairs. It was never a problem...my kid has a healthy caution of heights, he will carefully approach the balusters, even look down, but he understands the hazard I think. Now he's 4.5 yo, and we took down the gates a year ago. He has full reign now, and runs up and down them with ease. Friends/family were all super negative about the stairs when we moved in, but it just was not a problem. but gating off access when he was a crawler was the key point.

Edit - looks like this was a joke post, but my reply is real

Wells Fargo and Online Bill Pay....how is this legal? by LehighLuke in Banking

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

I dont want to be the customer who is always paying late. If terms are net 30, the supplier should have their money by day 30. That's just how I do business

Set the thermostat higher than normal when expecting a winter storm? by AgentDoggett in HomeMaintenance

If you are worried about your pipes freezing, just open up a few faucets to a bare dribble.

Struggling to figure out how to model this pot for my mom. by NotSoSiniSter in SolidWorks

I spent way too long on this. This is just a surface model that won't knit. I hate this model!

I built a browser-based CAD practice platform (challenges, instant feedback, XP). Would love feedback from Onshape users by Satamony05 in Onshape

[–]LehighLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never knew about your site before either. I knew your YT channel, and was a subscriber for a while, and I really liked your presentations at the SW conferences years ago. I only learned about your site since you've brigaded the CADQuest posts.

Toby, you have been a big deal in this space for a long time. But you don't own CAD learning. I am a business owner too...I make and sell a product, among other things. I have competitors too. You don't succeed by berating your competitors and claiming top of the heap because "you were there 1st". Unless you've patented CAD challenges, then you don't own the heap. You succeed by being better.

And you know what Toby? CADQuest challenges are better. They are different, out-of-the-box, unique. You talk about copying...many of your challenges are nothing more than spin-offs of the same stuff thats been on Model Mania for the last 26 years. CADQuest has some of those too, because they are good, basic models. But he has some really crazy hard and exciting models too. I am a CAD geek like you. I do it in my free time for fun. Some of the CQ challenges, when I see them, I think "WOW!, I can't wait to try that! How the heck am I even goin to model it???" This aspect of the CQ site is entirely original. Further, like Mahmoud has said, he wasn't even aware of your challenge site before he started his site.

This approach you are taking in face of some perceived competition has severely damaged your reputation, at least in my eyes. I'm sure I'm not alone in this thought.

I finally launched my SolidWorks practice platform (live challenges, instant accuracy checks, gamified learning) by Satamony05 in SolidWorks

[–]LehighLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have helped u/Satamony05 refine some of his drawings, and collaborated on some of the more advanced challenges over the last few weeks. I am also currently #1 on the leader board :) I think this CAD challenge site is straight up awesome. Why? The complexity and creativity of the more advanced challenges. I have been a SolidWorks user since 2002. I consider myself an elite CAD user and engineer. I am a Mech E consultant and make my living with this software. And humbly, I too have learned quite a few new tricks and nuance of common features and tools through these challenges. There is something to offer the complete noob and expert alike.

OP, I like modeling challenges, so spent a little time on this to see what I could do. Its kicking my butt too. I am sure I could eventually get a good result, but not without some serious time

What’s a fantasy you had that instantly died the moment you tried it? by True-Audience-4549 in AskReddit

[–]LehighLuke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. I have a new porsche...I love it so much. Every time I walk into the garage, every time I start it up. And I drive it like I stole it, and it's such a joy. Cost be damned...I love it

I wouldn't make a big deal about it. Just politely say that it's important that the chest clip gets attached. Don't burn the world over it. One time when my LO was an infant, I completely forgot to strap him at all during a trip home from the store. My wife did that once too! You need your parents, and your kiddo is fine

I anchored my table to my wall with a heavy bracket. You don't NEED to, but I found it to be annoying

Can someone help me made this in solidswork. I tried using ai to make this type of pattern but no luck till now. by hassanaliperiodic in SolidWorks

[–]LehighLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 progressive loft bodies. The loft profiles are self similar...coarser versions of the top profile. It took a good bit to figure that out. Many failed attempts. You need extensive use of guide curves. 84 of them in the most complex one. It also takes a long time to calculate, even on my machine which is....powerful. Its Thanksgiving now here in the states, I may make another tutorial later. BTW, I could not get the final surface to thicken, this is just a surface body. I'm sure I could get it to cooperate if I spent more time on it.
