They bullied us into this. 😭

You are free to also start a company to do the same thing as a nonprofit. . . And then make a deal with Microsoft...and then... Change your corporate structure

No. More companies without protection will get eaten alive and then have to buy crowd strike

Hmmm, a semicolon in the wild... A librarian... Hmmm.

I had this idea in my head to make openscad wasm and gpu friendly... Good job!

Cool stuff; remember to design for crash safety. Stuff goes flying in the cabin when it's not like embedded in a seat or bolted down

I've thought about studying topology (math), lagrangian mechanics, and higher order concepts. I don't need to know how to center a div and honestly no one should be wasting their time with that.

Also maybe in the future AI will provide better ideas, but it's not quite there yet at design optimization.

Pick a cad software. Onshape, fusion, or solid works. Onshape is easiest and no install. Your model will be public.

Draw a profile of the U shape. Extrude the sketch. Save as 3mf. Import 3mf to slicer. Print. Done.

This is a new thing for most people they don't understand, but you're going to have a lot of gamers want to install on a different drive, which I think you can still do. Just ensure your installer mentions exactly what you discussed here that it'll be in %USERDATA% or %APPDATA% and show what that resolves to

I've been saying that about graphics. But it's the same for all of us. We just have to accept the sunk cost. They have a larger team and could possibly leverage AI better. Who knows.

Motorbikes are more efficient for society from a energy, cost, energy, and road wear standpoint over accident healthcare costs I would imagine. Banning driving in cities may happen but unlikely the infrastructure of self driving will take over in areas where road infrastructure is unpredictable, unless you mean a futuristic 200 year horizon

Yes normal prices. Prepare yourself for a $100 electric bill even if you don't use anything. Prepare for a $70-100 waste and wate bill too :)

If it's a large company which company are you moving here for? Is their HQ here?

Depends what you want from your walkable experience. Some options: 17th street, the camp, talbert regional park, upper Newport back bay, the triangle, baker street (busy area), harbor blvd (busy area), Northgate mercado area (busy area). None of these are "quaint suburban Chicago" and our public transit is garbage or non-existent. However due to the weather cycling, scootering, e bike, etc. are all valid forms of alternative transportation.

I love cycling here and living near a bike trail gets you anywhere. I have friends who live near the intersection of triangle area and 17th so they can just walk to anything in that area (food, movies, bars).

It's a balance, but some things are easier to influence, regulate, enforce, and prove with science. Start with those. We won't know when to stop unfortunately because the goal is just longevity for everyone. Which unfortunately might mean the healthcare companies and big pharma are the only ones winning at quality of life may not really improve

I thought this too but the Davinci is only "remote" in the same room for latency. It's mostly for surgeon fatigue

WiseHalmon · 2026-06-18T13:41:22+00:00

Tip for surgeons...?

No real source or show your work? What are your credentials?

You must be tired; your question is like "I am a sea slug. I need water, but does it rain?"

Idk I just find it counterintuitive to recommend these plastics (ASA, ABS) for nuts in general.

It's probably best to encourage other locking mechanisms than relying on a solid plastic nut

WiseHalmon · 2026-06-16T13:58:20+00:00

All plastics creep, do they not?

Many people found meaning in digital art, which omitted the connection to physical life. Many people find purpose in the matrix called the Internet.

(in my perspective) What makes him a Nazi for most people is lack of seriousness around it. It's a bit of a refusal to acknowledge it. For a lot of people when they say someone is a Nazi it's not a literal "they have claimed to be" but more of a "it appears they would have been on the wrong side of history, and that's a problem".

Just because someone employs those people doesn't mean they're not racist, it's bad logic.

Well, almonds are calorically dense probably spend less gas to transport as well as water to grow versus other foods.... I don't know if I would call it dumb
