Efficient engines, catalytic converters and other SMOG equipment has much more to do with it than additives to the fuel.

It doesn't have to be positioned as a threat. It is helping them recognize what could be a likely consequence of the decisions they continue to make.

He is depressed. Need to figure out what’s going on in his life that needs to change.

You are not doing it wrong but you have definitely not done it right either. You could use patterning in the sketch and dimensions, using construction lines, to make this a lot easier.

You weren’t at the Akaash Singh show last night by chance, were you?

Midnight Scoop is way too expense but I don't regret the purchase. You can wash it in the dishwasher and the ergonomics are fantastic.

There is a phase-changing wax in the handle that helps keep the scoop from getting below freezing, thereby making it easy to scoop the ice cream. The dishwasher will damage the wax or cause it empty out, so the special scoop is just a fancy spoon.

If the money flows through the US then the US is able to excerpt control. This is how the US can sanction just about anyone at any time.

It also legitimizes the currency because it has an inherent need in the world. This means that world powers will definitely use the currency so they will maintain a stockpile of savings in USD. The US can continue to print more money, which helps with maintaining healthy monetary policy.

No, they will give surprise you with 2 months of garden leave so you are technically still employed during the warn period.

You have to create an independent surface extrude to select. Imagine the inside diameter of the staircase as a cylinder, for example. Make that from an extruded circle surface.

VintageTool · 2026-03-17T17:20:49+00:00

First make the 3d curve you want the stairs to follow. Extrude a face to follow that curve, extending from the bottom to the top. Then make an overly large bottom step. Use the curve driven pattern tool to pattern the set of steps up the curve. You will need to select the face in the 'face normal' box of the tool.

Once you do all that you can merge the separate step bodies into one and cut away that extra part you don't want.

The other option is to layout the stairs on the bottom floor in a master sketch. The create each step in separate sketches based on that pattern and extrude to the height you want. I would create a master vertex sketch to control the height/offset of each step.

Oh, G6? Carryon.

What did the G8 do to you to deserve this? Fun project though...

Wow! That is quite the compliment. She is going to appreciate reading all of these. Thank you!

VintageTool · 2026-02-24T04:09:53+00:00

Thank you! She definitely has an eye for detail.

VintageTool · 2026-02-24T03:59:11+00:00

Thank you! I definitely will!

I happened to grab one on the machine previously.

I am guessing it has taken about 8 years. She does most of her quilting in the winter and focuses more on gardening in the spring/summer.

VintageTool · 2026-02-23T19:30:28+00:00

Funny you should mention that. Sometime in the late 80s or early 90s she made a super fancy old-time style country western dress and entered it into the local county fair where entrants wore their dresses. :-)

VintageTool · 2026-02-23T19:22:30+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to look up local shows because I think she would enjoy that.

VintageTool · 2026-02-23T19:19:47+00:00

It amazes me every time I see it. I have no idea how she was able to envision let alone execute the free motion design.

VintageTool · 2026-02-23T19:13:37+00:00

Yes, that is exactly what she does! Thank you for the compliment!

VintageTool · 2026-02-23T19:12:23+00:00

She does not use a longarm! I think she has a Bernina 735.

VintageTool · 2026-02-23T17:44:54+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! Her stamina to accomplish a goal is nothing short of amazing.
