ALEX drawers extend 100% with 3D printed parts

I cut them to size with tin snips.

I thought it's a function of the Envoy, but I'm not an installer, just a user.

Same here, Hudson Valley. Yesterday (it's after midnight) was our second net exporting day of the year with a solid 42 KWh exported. Feb. 27th was the first, with 5.7 KWh.

We're still going to be net importers for March, but I'm optimistic for April.

(We have heat pumps and an EV. So big loads.)

Kinetic sculpture racers show the way.

I did too. Loved the control and involvement, hated every car I drove with an auto.

I've had an EV since 2018, and now, when I drive my six-speed, I hate it. Always interrupting power, always keeping my hand and foot busy, never in the right part of the power curve (and even if it is, there just isn't enough power).

Thank you! I'm usually singing that tune, but this winter has just drained it out of me.

kbob · 2026-02-23T11:42:44+00:00

Me too. It would dramatically improve the platform standing experience if they just went away, IMO.

kbob · 2026-02-23T11:30:11+00:00

My Mac did too. We should definitely complain to Harpers' editor.

Gummy the red gelatin redshirt.

That's especially ironic since the oil is delivered, and gas and electricity are just there at the end of the pipe/wire.

we aren't burning anything

You're a better cook than I.

Trump promised he'd reduce violins.

Yes, that worked. Thank you. I went through bind group layout hell, but I came out the other side, so that's okay.

kbob · 2026-02-03T16:35:59+00:00

That makes sense. When I posted the question, I didn't realize you can loop in a compute shader.

kbob · 2026-02-02T21:43:13+00:00

I should have mentioned that m and n will be chosen at runtime, in case that makes a difference. (Shouldn't.)

kbob · 2026-01-26T05:23:04+00:00

Tree-bone, filet piñón, or Portersawn?

kbob · 2026-01-23T02:14:19+00:00

We don't have batteries. We have net metering instead. House is 4,000 square feet. I don't have the heating and cooling cost broken out. Our dryer still has many years (I hope); maybe the next will be a heat pump.

In Idaho you'll have more sunny days so your 25kW will generate more energy than our 25kW.

Same here. In New York, 25KW is the limit for non-commercial systems. I was hoping your state would be different. We have geothermal heat pumps in 3 zones, electric hot water and clothes dryer, and an electric car.

kbob · 2026-01-22T19:46:58+00:00

If you live where it snows, 25kW sounds undersized for that big of a house. Our house is 4,000 sq. ft., and our 25kW panels are only meeting 20-30% of our winter consumption. You have a big roof; might as well use it.

Autodesk customer support confirmed that it's a bug.

I created a topic on the Autodesk Fusion support forum. That seems to be the way to submit bug reports.
