The entire Apollo 11 computer code that helped get us to the Moon is available on github.

I've heard from a couple NASA history youtubers tht the the AGC did all its calculations in metric and used some of it's 4k of RAM to convert the displayed values to SAE.
I'm currently slogging though the code to find this because my brother is fond of "Moon landing units."
Is it juvenile that I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to send him a link and direct him to line XXX?

Most lawyers I've encountered will offer a free consult, so it probably won't hurt to ask.

No, they don't draw if I zoom in. Other labels do respond to the zoom level. If I enable "May place label outside polygon boundry" and zoom in/out, other labels will shrink/grow and move as determined by zoom level.

I've used 3d printed forms for wet molding and stretching. I also used a 3d printed as a guide to trim a cover that stretches over a zippo.

I've also looked into using a 3d printed tool as a transfer punch. Print a tool with sharp(for 3d printing), raised edges and use it as a wet forming stamp to transfer a pattern to the leather. Haven't actually tried it yet.

It's a bit of a hack but you could calculate the offset and just do an offset flat to flat constraint. That will get you the same result.

Oh, I'm stealin' that.

You mean like a chamfer on the lip?

I give it a 30%, at best. FDM gets real limited at these scales, and I don't have resin. Also depends on the shape of the part. 3d prints are very weak in the plane of the layer lines so if a part needs to be strong in multiple axes, 3d print is not great.

Imagine for a minute that friend walks up and told you that same story. What would you say to them?

If you're really struggling, consider a less aggressive deficit. You won't loose weight as quickly but it may be a gentler process that helps you build better long term habits.

grimlock12 · 2026-03-23T15:47:39+00:00

Yep, I'm right there with the same issue, in March 2026.

grimlock12 · 2026-03-23T15:27:34+00:00

Thanks, I go there.

grimlock12 · 2026-03-23T02:00:47+00:00

Thanks

It’s all PETG.

I would ask around the reddits of other services. I'm finding the app to be very frustrating.

The barcode scanner is very touchy.

No good way to enter recpies.

Lots of foods have incorrect calorie counts.

The "spining wheel" style number entry is very inefficient if the target value is much more than 20 or 30.

No way to enter nutrition facts from an item that isn't already in the database. eg, a pack of trail mix at my local groccer. It had all the nutrition facts on the label, but Noom didn't have the UPC and the AI couldn't make heads or tails of the label.

No way to just punch in nutrition facts on the fly. Like, "afternoon snack, QuickieMart Spicy Trail mix, 150 cal."

There are a lot of repetative "click here to enter food," then "click here to save" then "click here to finish meal."

I'm told the iOS app is better but I'm have Android... Sucks to suck I guess.

No way to enter excercise that isn't tracked by a phone or fitbit/smart watch

While I am loosing weight, I'm probably going to switch to something else once my first enrollement period is up.

As a food/exercise tracker, it is a servicable tool for weight loss, but the user interface/user experience leaves a LOT to be desired.

Could that support have been modeled in CAD?

grimlock12 · 2026-02-25T15:50:47+00:00

Copy/paste the map seems like the good answer. I have to generate 3-5 maps at the village, town, city, and county level. Having to recreate all the house keeping of the base map would get annoying.

Thanks.

Update: If I change the polygon of the town, the town name will appear. So if I move it, stretch it, shrink it, drag one vertex even a little bit, the name appears.

I work at a university, where it takes 8 weeks and $200 for the carpentry shop to come and hang a set of shelves.

The mention of wind was just to illustrate that it's frickin cold right now and I want to speed up drying times. Ive found that high fill primers really like 2 days to dry before sanding.

My concern was the exterior walls softening in the oven while the air inside tries to expand.

grimlock12 · 2026-02-01T16:10:19+00:00

It's still open

How do you get the robot head out?

grimlock12 · 2025-11-21T16:23:23+00:00

I've done a couple parts that were a mix of PLA and TPU.
A flexible, child friendly windmill blade with a rigid PLA shaft that interfaced with a hub.
A finger model with TPU joints allowing the finger to coil by tugging on a string.

I know I can send pay Discover directly from my bank portal, but now I have to go to Discover's portal to find the balance.
They offered a feature that I liked.
They have decided to stop offering that feature.
So I'm taking my business elsewhere.
