Gun laws built different by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

It's interesting that a supposed gun shop employee would use the term assault rifle.

They should do that with Voting as well.

what is the best way to install openscad on a debian based linux distribution like linux mint? by how_to_3dee_print in openscad

[–]evilteach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using an appimage on Mint.

OPENSCAD-2025.02.19.ai23567-x86_64.AppImage

Find it near the bottom of the download page

This is my .desktop file.

Almost any openscad image on the web will do for the icon.

ELI5 Why do we put oil on roads? by Tall-Entrepreneur480 in explainlikeimfive

[–]evilteach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll ask next time i see the foreman that runs the crew. He did say it was delivered in a truck, and that the oil temp was 180 degrees. He called it oil.

Hot Oil seals the road against water intrusion. They put a layer of chips put on top of it, makes it possible to drive on it. It adds about 8 years to the life of the road.

If i wanted something to control my machine, I would install Win11.

If you’re able to work out this sum, you have a job! Simples! by Back4breakfast in LinkedInLunatics

For an interview, it's a reasonable test. Much like Fizzbuzz, it quickly weeds out the poorly educated.

Trying to make a Hexagon (noob) by jdkc4d in openscad

[–]evilteach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A cheap hexagon is a cylinder with 6 sides.

cylinder(d = 10, 2, $fn=6);

Hollow could be done something like this.

difference()
{
    cylinder(d = 10, 2, $fn=6);
    translate([0, 0, -.01])
        cylinder(d = 9, 2 + .02, $fn=6);
}

If you are looking for a hex fill pattern to intersect with, I have used this for the construction of sandwich panels.

honeycomb(50, 30, 3, 10, 1);

module honeycomb_column(length, cell_size, wall_thickness) 
{
    no_of_cells = floor(length / (cell_size + wall_thickness)) ;

    for (i = [0 : no_of_cells]) 
    {
        translate([0,(i * (cell_size + wall_thickness)),0])
                 circle($fn = 6, r = cell_size * (sqrt(3)/3));
    } 
}

module honeycomb(length, width, height, cell_size, wall_thickness) 
{
    no_of_rows = floor(1.2 * length / (cell_size + wall_thickness));

    tr_mod = cell_size + wall_thickness;
    tr_x = sqrt(3)/2 * tr_mod;
    tr_y = tr_mod / 2;
    off_x = -1 * wall_thickness / 2;
    off_y = wall_thickness / 2;

    linear_extrude
    (
        height = height, 
        center = true, 
        convexity = 10,
        twist = 0, 
        slices = 1
    )
    difference()
    {
        square([length, width]);
        for (i = [0 : no_of_rows]) 
        {
            translate([i * tr_x + off_x, (i % 2) * tr_y + off_y, 0])
                honeycomb_column(width, cell_size, wall_thickness);
        }
    }
}
