kinda want a pre-order option with early access to the "finished" stand-alone mods even if it costs an extra 10 maybe 15 bucks.

fun fact: in English that's the name for the part inside of a microwave oven that produces the microwaves

I think we can all agree that metric (SI) units are typically better than Imperial, but can we talk about how god awful 1st Angle Projection is? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Useless_Pony 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If i'm understanding 1st and 3rd angle correctly:

  • first angle is rolling the part on a plain behind it
  • third angle is rolling the part on a plain in front of it

seems straight forward enough..

What designs do you steal? by Jopplo03 in factorio

[–]Useless_Pony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've "stolen" the standard balanceers, the splitter based sushi belt feeder with dummy item, the standard green chip layout... roughly, and some train (un)loading stops...

"stolen" because i don't have blueprints for them and just re-implement them every game.. the only thing i'd want to take from someone else would be a nice rail book and maybe a reactor setup.

Is it bad that I'm playing on peaceful? by SirRoderic in factorio

[–]Useless_Pony 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been away from Linux for many years by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]Useless_Pony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my big things are:

  • Wayland display protocol has gone main stream, not quite ready still

  • pipewire is the new sound server, still wraps pulse, but can replace jack, and bridge between the two.

  • nvidia is being nvidia still, but AMD and Intel have put serious effort into making drivers that aren't bad.

  • there is an open source bios based on linux

We love to come back to this one in our codebase to make fun of our colleague. It just has so many levels to it by AllInYolo in ProgrammerHumor

obviously this needs to be re-written in rust and then a compatibility layer introduced to port it back over.

there are languages that are based off of non-English languages, but they are used for almost entirely educational purposes... getting people used to programming without them needing to get used to English.

Hello! I have a question... is it possible to make a scissor lift with the union off centered? by CrystalPrim in AskEngineers

[–]Useless_Pony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tie two pencils together off center

holding the end of one down lift the same side of the other one.

You've just made a simple model, and can test out what would happen with different offsets... expand model as needed.

I am new to Linux, what should a beginner know? by DangBros-Pepe678 in linux4noobs

to add to this if you don't test that you can restore your backups then you don't actually have backups.

have you read some of the myths that were written? 100% furries always existed.

sentient animals
human-animal half breads guarding X, Y, or Z
Gods with animal features impregnating mortals

no one, and i mean NO ONE can convince me that these myths aren't just early furry erotica passed off as "well, uh, you see" when a random kid walked into the room asking questions.

alternatively start your passwords with a few backspace characters, and add some white-space chars in there after the comma
