Sketcher is used as the first step for an extrusion iirc but draft is what he wants. It is just more built for 3D models to be turned into drafts rather than making a draft from scratch.

FreeCAD is pretty capable but it’s openly 3D focused and doesn’t make for a great 2D only solution. However, for some simple work with remodeling, it might be fine.

The vid I linked to basically said that the game is ok but derivative and not that great. The main point he was making is to point out how the “controversy” around the game doesn’t actually exist. It’s a bunch of made up crap by grifters to make idiots foam at the mouth. And it worked. And now these idiots think Stellar Blade is the next coming of Christ and the bullwark against the woke mind virus games blah blah blah…

The reactionaries are the ones championing this franchise

I don’t think it’s right to assume that people who block political online content are doing nothing. Hell, I think it’s more likely that people who consume a lot of political content feel that they’re doing something when they aren’t.

The 2nd option is likely the goal. Inflaming tensions and overreacting makes the administration look like it’s tough on crime to his base. Escalating a peaceful protest into a conflict can easily be spun into “the good guys are fighting the violent illegal criminals”. The people that elected Trump want a strongman dictator and he’s happy to show them that. Even the politically apathetic might see the conflict as “both sides went too far”.

Dinner and supper are different?

I’m not sure what all those words mean so I’m not gunna do that. I might learn these things later but I’m trying not to frontload a lot of the learning.

Why would I need to remove the Windows SSD if adding a second? Just to make sure I don’t accidentally overwrite it during install? Is there some other risk I’m not thinking of?

Good point that I didn’t consider. I actually don’t know if I have 2 slots. I just took a peek in the glass door and I can’t see well enough without unplugging a bunch. Either way, I’m buying another SSD so I guess I’ll make that call when I open my case to put it in.

Yeah I thought about booting from a flash drive as a test run option but I figured that would not be a very accurate way of gauging what the experience is like. Also, it would keep me from “settling in” with Linux because I wouldn’t want files and stuff on a flash drive, which would make me keep my PC at arms length.

It has an outsized impact by bringing awareness to this issue. It also could embolden other communities to take a stand against Saudi sportswashing.

I have 3 of these units since last summer. Should I be cleaning them out? Pardon the ignorance. I’ve never owned a window unit before and I won’t have one after this summer.

I would imagine some sort of heat pump is being used to transfer the heat from the electronics to the radiators. I still wonder how they’re dealing with the heat.

The 4 basic rules of gun safety:

1. Treat every gun as if it’s loaded
2. Keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to fire
3. Don’t point it at anything you aren’t ok destroying
4. Be sure of your target and what’s behind it

More people should know these rules.

I used to be an engineer in a manufacturing plant in South Carolina. At the time, South Carolina was booming. People were moving in from all over the country due to lower housing costs. However, the plant I worked at had a labor shortage at the same time that they had huge demand. We had something like 7 new production lines in various stages of installation all at once. The issue was so acute that we were constantly running overtime and still would have to expedite orders to prevent shutting down the customer. We cancelled the twice-a-year shutdown week several times in a row, deferring needed maintenance. A facility had recently broken ground next door with plans to hire 4000 employees in a couple years.

What did my employer pay the much-needed line operators? $15/hr. For $15 you can work 6 or 7 days per week or you could work at Chick-fil-A. The company was breaking it’s back in order to avoid paying people more. Rather than lowering the workload in any smart way, they just squeezed the people they had harder. I quit for that reason.

Kei trucks are extremely useful if you’re only ever going to move it around in a city. I wouldn’t want to get on a highway in one of those. To me, this looks like the closest analog to a kei trucks that would still work in the US.

They make it sound like not having stamping is helping them by not requiring expensive machines and a factory with a high ceiling. I’m betting they’re outsourcing the stamping. I’m also betting that they won’t ever deliver a truck.
