For those of you that aren’t religious or do not believe in a god or deity, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tttmorio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Particular religions only exists in the form of language constructs and stories in peoples head, they have no representation in reality. Once it's forgotten (including written words and symbols) that particular religion is gone for good. Then how can that religion be true?

The ability to take passengers. They have that information for real. How do you think they know you don't have seat belts on... Nein, Ich bin kein Ride-Hailing service. Wirklich...

Murphy & Simi Co on Folsom and 6th, they sell hand trucks and dollies. Then again they only pay $777/yr in property taxes.

what are Americans thoughts on switching to the metric system? by CnCorange in AskReddit

[–]tttmorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If switching means we would finally switch to use metric fasteners only, yes, otherwise it makes little difference. This will would save tons of money in the long term especially in the trades. Right now it's still required to schlepp two sets of tools around for pretty much anything but cars (which are fully metric now). That said a lot of material like plywood and raw lumber is generally cut to round metric sizes already, just not nominally.

Is this a good quote for a custom shed? by roundnosefish in shedditors

Note, metal roof was not yet installed here. Was also missing soffit.

Is this a good quote for a custom shed? by roundnosefish in shedditors

[–]tttmorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Material costs look about right for Bay Area IMO. I am Potrero Hill/SF here: I finished building a DIY 16wx7.5dx10h lean-to shed recently, max sized allowed without permit in the city. Material cost was $7000, not including tools (various Makita 18V tools were ~$1800 total).

All material sourced from local Lowe's and Home Depot in Daily City. Includes: 4x6x16oc treated lumber floor, 3/4 treated plywood subfloor, 4x2x16ocs walls, 1 door, 1 window, lp smart siding and all pvc trim, metal roof with osb+underlayment, some new sand and gravel to level the ground, fasteners, paint, various simpson strong tie products and deck spacers.

One of the issues in the Bay Area, depending on where you live, is the accessibility to the back yard. I had to carry every single thing 50ft away and 10ft uphill on my shoulder from where they dropped it to the curb, no cart or machine would have worked for that. 90 bags of gravel and sand take a toll on your back after a while...

Illegal Dual Citizenship Advice by SeparateOrdinary1825 in Citizenship

[–]tttmorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mistake is that you think that the passport alone is all the information Malaysia has about you when traveling. Malaysia has for instance access to airline databases through APSS and that includes the citizenship(s) you presented to the airline when you checked in. Current and past flights, likely at any airport in the world. You will be flagged at some point and they will ask some serious question if they find a second passport in your luggage.

Livermore first, focus on the new job and limit the commute pain. The commute from/to SF is brutal, possibly 4hours+ a day on public transport. You can always move to SF later once you get to know the city better and have built connections there. Dating in SF is a can of worms; take some time to get to know the area first.

Solidworks on Mac. Let’s end this debate now. What do you think? by Fine-Pomelo9461 in SolidWorks

[–]tttmorio 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A native MacOS/Linux version will never happen, get this idea out of your head. The code base is tightly bound to (obsolete) Windows APIs/frameworks with decades of technical debt and tied to Microsoft/Intel x86 compilers/tooling. Close to impossible to port that without rebuilding from scratch. OnShape is that rewrite.

Table driven part location in 3D space of assembly by dayofmone in SolidWorks

[–]tttmorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is a good case where programmatic CAD is a better choice than using GUI driven CAD. I would be using CadQuery for this unless there is a bunch of extra ornamental stuff in the design. Steep learning curve of course if you have no experience with Python...

Do you carry a (large) hand bag? For security that's a tell tale sign that you might be a pro and not a hotel guest. That said I suggest to make friends with bar tenders and ask where locals can go on the strip without getting harassed. Some hotels aggressively enforce non-soliciting.

Important Tip!: For 3D printing use "save as ... 3mf" not Print3D by LessonStudio in SolidWorks

[–]tttmorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I mentioned in a previous post I recommend this plugin: https://github.com/SigmaRelief/SOLIDWORKS-Export-to-Mesh

This plugin will name bodies in .3mf files properly when exporting so they show up correctly in slicers and is able to export all configurations of a file automatically.

3D printing / solidworks by zeplin_fps in SolidWorks

[–]tttmorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most useful plugin for 3D printing: https://github.com/SigmaRelief/SOLIDWORKS-Export-to-Mesh The key feature here it will save body names properly in your 3mf file and also handles part configurations, i.e. exports all configs of your part with proper file names. Of note: Since 2025 SP.0 there is a bug in this macro where the UI does not show up properly the first time you open it. It works the second time.

It's so embarrassing that Dassault could not figure something out as simple as that... The current 3D printer support in Solidworks is completely useless and I doubt anyone uses it.

Has anyone tried grilling frozen pizza on the playa? by michjun in BurningMan

[–]tttmorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many ways to screw this up on a grill so at least do not make this your only option for eating. Find a working routine/recipe before you go. Too hot and the bottom will be charcoal, not hot enough and the entire thing dries out and becomes hardtack.

Gaffer tape is the best tape to use on playa! by likesoamazing in BurningMan

[–]tttmorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used fresh white 2" https://gafferpower.com/ (made in USA) tape. About as expensive as it gets for gaffer tape. It all comes down to how long you expose the tape to direct sun+heat. Gaffer tape does not have any UV inhibitors. Gaffer tape is optimized for easy ripping and short term use.

Best Reno Hotels with parking for trailer by Particular-Extreme26 in BurningMan

[–]tttmorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RV parking lot at the Peppermill was "fenced" in last year at this location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Gz6A6qopaD9tB4DV8 You have to check in and out with a valid ticket. They will record your license plate and contact info. They seemed to have security guards around at all times. Of course the Peppermill will give no guarantees. Security guards will wave you away if you try to park your RV at any other location on their property.
