Solid Edge is what had me keeping a Win10 instance for a while, but finally gave up on it after the OS kept corrupting itself. Started learning Onshape instead, which is web based and works under Linux. It’s a passable replacement for doing basic 3d sketches.

If he damages more public property, we should send killdozers to level Mar-a-Lago. Seems fair.

Yeah, much easier to build all of it at ground level, then prop it up. Genius!

7 Days to Die. I’m in danger.

Oh, de oh de oh!

Used to be ice cream, is now called something like “frozen dairy dessert”. Their strawberry ice cream used to be really great: milk, cream, sugar, egg, strawberry. That’s it. Now it’s a couple dozen weird ingredients that they can’t call ice cream, and it’s awful.

I saw that article a while back, and thought the lasers would be handy on cameras. You can buy 1064nm IR spotting lasers but they are rather expensive. A 1 watt model will be about $1000.

They were definitely great when I sent them a used ProAm I had bought. Supposed to convert it over to a ProLight version, but I think they sent me a pretty much new marker, didn’t recognize any “old” parts on it. Haven’t played in years, but still have it stored away.

Have a couple Sceptre monitors around the house, about 10 years now. They’re great, no smart garbage installed. Don’t know of another brand making something similar.

That’s what I switched to about 2 months after getting my Ender 3 S1 Pro. Klipper running from a RPi, lets me push sliced files out over WiFi to the printer right from Orca. So much better than dealing with SD cards.

The main reason I ended up with another Pixel phone was for the spam filtering. A couple calls a day go straight to the automated answering service (where I can see the speach-to-text response of the caller on the screen) or get blocked completely. Text messages typically come through, but they’re less annoying, and I can add them to a spam list.

Things like this are why I like Lemmy people.

If you live somewhere with hard water, replace the copper with pex. The minerals eat away the pipes. We had a home in a hard water area once, sooo many pinhole leaks over time, and water heaters had really short life spans. If your water doesn’t require a softener, then keep the copper. If there’s a chance the pipes were exposed to freezing conditions at all in the past, look for bulges in the copper which will indicate weakened lines that should be replaced.

Perfect answer, no need for me to scroll further.

“HOA’s gonna send me a fine if I don’t put these away. Sorrrrrry!”

It just taint right, being shot in the crotch like that.

And sociopathy.

Those companies, like Pfizer, do very little of their R&D. They spend money buying up companies to control the IP after most of the work is done. And that work is often funded by government grants. So American citizens have their tax money go towards research (which is great, I’m all for that) but for-profit companies come in at the end to carry the ball over the line, and make billions doing it (which we pay for too). Broken system.

Or we have to go to Mexico. Moderna just signed an agreement with the government there to do vaccine production.
