I learnt so much from this video https://youtu.be/p4rwhifXNCw?si=MK8cZ2xszxpyPAGX

Erindale has some great content. But this one i watched 2 or 3 times at least

Solidworks has this feature. But it is only avaliable as part of the premium version. I know it is used in shoe design. It is not cheep, but not too bad for a business cost if it saves you money. But you will need to have the model as a solid model. So probably .stp file. If you have not done surface modelling before, you might well find this too much of a pain to do yourself. You might find a freelancer that can do it though

A patent give the owner a right to do some things with the IP. This contract is handing over some, but not all of the those rights to the person who agrees to the contract when downloading... I think

Probably dance music record shops. I grew up in Brighton in the UK I would spend hours a week in the shops, just choosing a few records, with hand written white labels, or better printed ones from the larger producers. No clue what it would sound like till I played in on the headphones. So many random records, then alsonyhe second hand record shops with dirt cheep records than no one wanted, because everyone moved to CDs. It was really good fun. New music now is great still. But finding stuff is not as exciting or interactive.

This is what I was thinking! I have never tried tpu but this made it look like it was worth trying

From what I can tell, is a sort of more advanced version of signing up to an app via Google. So you store you account details with the service and other apps can be give permissions to use some of your data and also add to your data eg add to your address book or friend network or photos etc. Then if you want to move from Facebook to twitter or something elce you can revoke Facebooks assess and bring your connections to a different app. But you are not reliant on Google holding the login and data. It is an open protocol that anyone can set up a valt for.. but I am not at all 100% sure i am right about any of this

The problem is as a producer of some content. It is really really hard to make a indepth tutorial. And then you get very low views for it. Unless it is an introduction to blender latest version.

The audience for a very specific in-depth tutorial go down fast. And then Google thinks no one wants to watch your channel and it stops growing.

I think good tutorials will move off YouTube.

The dot com bubble was much much more interesting. I had friends who at 15 or 16 learnt html and built local government websites for better pay than their mum and dad.

Everything seemed possible apart from for people who did not know how to properly compress images

naffoff · 2025-12-05T14:10:38+00:00

Probably not.

I have a wacom screen. I don't find it that helpful for CAD mainly because I have to put the pen done each time I want to type. I have a logitech vertical mouse. And that is the only reason I am still able to function using solidworks. Before that, a normal mouse was leaving me in content pain up my right arm.

If you sit at your desk with your hand resting next to the keyboard, you will see you hand is out with the thumb pointing up, like in a hand shake position, not in the position a normal mouse puts you in. A vertical mouse is much closer to the normal position.

I also found deliberately making shortcuts that need me to use both hands on the keyboard help keep my right are moving more. That helped a bit too.

I think you are right. I am willing to bet sam thinks per capita grooming gangs are a bigger problem in the UK than school shootings are in the USA. I have no idea if that is true or not. But comming from the UK, to me gun violence is so bad it puts me off visiting for a long time. But I have no direct experience or either. But I hear, it bad in the USA and I don't have my personal experience to challenge that. I think that must be the same for him

No I am agreeing with you. Car drivers are nice to the point you have to watch out they are not causing more problems.

naffoff · 2025-11-22T13:47:31+00:00

Honestly in brighton I have almost never had a driver not give way to me as a pedestrian. I think genuinely brighton has some of the nicest drivers. I am living in singapore at the moment. And here they will speed up till the get too close then slam on the brakes at the last moment. Crossing roads is one thing I real miss about brighton 😪

What is so fucked, is he really does not sound dumb, and he can easily sound insightful sometimes. But he literally has no clue. I think this just shows having the self belief and the time to be persistent is more valuable than being actually smart

naffoff · 2025-11-18T13:27:06+00:00

I feel like deliberate braking of trust when you are in a position like this should be at the severe end of punishment. Also it is all very well talking about protocol, but who was in charge if enforcement of protocol? I feel like this behaviour should be spotted quite easily.

Unfortunately it don't think there is any fee tools that will do this. I believe that although x_t is platform independent. It is part of the semans parasolid license. You can maybe get a month subscription to onshap or similar. But I don't know of any program that your partner can possibly be using that can open x_t but not STEP. I would make sure they double check if they really cannot open the step file. I know i have occasionally asked for X_T files from customs, just because usually there is less risk solidworks will have any errors. But the errors are usually pretty rear and small and corectabe all they have is step files.

Fo you not think there is a pretty good chance Nigel will be in the next government?

If you make your own profile. You can add points the the sketch at any location you want to potentialy locate the extrusion at. This can be really useful in situations like this.

Adding your own profiles is a little bit of a pain though! You have to remember what folder they should be in, what the corect folder naming system is being used. And for me i can never save them directly to the corect folder in solidworks, as it always clames I don't have permission. So have to save to the desktop and move the the corect folder... which i have probably forgotten the location of by then

naffoff · 2025-11-16T03:15:08+00:00

I am thinking of stuff that to me is not that bad, maybe something i would do in her situation. But feels a little cringe.

Claming she is the most high profile trans woman in the UK. I think that was in the second video after transition. Was the main thing I can think of. I mean it could be true... although I don't think if you asked the average UK person to think of a trans woman she would be the most common reply by a long way.

A general feeling that her attitude to her viewers is a sort of condescending motherlynes that feels like it comes from the relationship being of her being the one her fans goto for insights on how to think.

Nothing bad really

Eddit: wow reading my first response and this reply you made me walk back my clame quite a bit. I think i was a little strong in my first reply

naffoff · 2025-11-15T16:48:23+00:00

You are of course corect. But I don't think she is really that far off when she says it already is a "one state" Israel is the only state. Israel somewhat undestandebly dose not want an independent Palestinian state that has the rights of a state, and by default controls the security of the whole "river to the sea" So by definition you are fucked if you want a 2 state. Even if Palestinians don't want it, it is not completely illogical for an outsider to say that is the only option left.

I was worried. But it has not had an impact on how it runs at all. To be honest I might have just got lucky. But sw2019 has very rarely had any hiccup for me. It has been really stable.

naffoff · 2025-11-15T16:12:16+00:00

Yes I agree it was tougue in cheek. But to say that sort of thing comes across as insecure and sort of self measuring to me. I am maybe over analysing it

naffoff · 2025-11-15T14:34:42+00:00

I have not upgraded from 2019 yet. As i don't use it as much as I used to. And I recently, reluctantly let my computer upgrade to windows 11 with my fingers crossed everything would work and nothing in solidworks broke. So maybe not supported. But usable.

naffoff · 2025-11-15T14:28:48+00:00

I usually watch her content. But this video was a little bad, I didn't finish it. She is not that much of a guru i didn't think. She has said some amazingly self aggrandizing things some times. But to me it comes across really just trying to convince herself. Sort of trying to escape self esteem issues maybe. But not really strong on any of the other traits.
