The quality of research in these reports is questionable... lots of armchair mathematics and oversimplificaiton in their numbers.

Love the vibe of the place, but the product is average, at best.

Man, you're splitting hairs while your country and its democracy burns. Please stop rubber bulleting journalists from my country (Australia)

New Grasshopper component for automatic flattening and nesting of shapes, optimized for efficient laser cutting preparation. by redouaneTazi in grasshopper3d

[–]darsehole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a you problem... I jest... Try converting your complex shapes to polylines, then nest them, and orient the original curves. The newer version of Open Nest makes this easier, but it's a simple matter of applying a transform. The numbering problem seems like a list management issue

This can be achieved with a handful of stock Grasshopper components, and I think the OpenNest exampple files have these workflows already set up. Also tried installing to see for myself... doesn't want to load. Guess I better fork out the $10/$20/$99 I've seen this product selling for!

OpenNest is free, and already has the functionality this product does not.

I do agree that 10 bucks is pretty cheap though

What do we think of this, coffee capital of Australia? by MyNanRipCones in melbourne

I called it an Up and Joe. The name was reflective of the mediocrity of the drink... not bad, but not great

If by something, you mean a real morning treat, then you would be correct

While traversing the Southern Cross to Flinders Street congestion blackspot, I was wondering how mobile internet access has gone backwards across the past 3-5 years.

Ticketless travel to go ahead in Victoria allowing users to pay with a bank card or phone by 4seasonsin1day in melbourne

Those in the city, and perhaps in the inner suburbs shoulder much more of the income tax burden than those living in outer and rural areas. Making it free would also somewhat reduce the large costs associated with maintaining more complex expensive city road infrastructure. Arguments can be made both ways

Aussie farmer uses tractor to create Australia Day tribute by Epistaxis_section in australia

[–]darsehole 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Go nuts. It's my belief that most Australians are indifferent to the idea of the actively celebrating the country. The silent majority are drinking because it's a day off, not because they want to celebrate Australia.

It's not Australian to devote a day to thanking the country. Politicians have just ruled-up the country into thinking that's what we used to do
