FreeCAD has long had open source disease in that it is very powerful and yet a pain in the ass to work with partially through crap UI design.

1.0 includes a lot of changes that address this. They’ve modernized a lot of it, added a lot of missing features, and brought a lot of things up to modern snuff.

There are things I like about FreeCAD better than Fusion360, for example FreeCAD has a spreadsheet built into it. Fusion360, last time I used it, had a kind of underbaked Parameters list that you couldn’t even sort, the ability to have a spreadsheet for your dimensions and such.

All Parametric CAD software is complicated to use, you need to wrap your head around designing with rules, but once you get that basically all of them unlock.

Symptoms of a World War:

• Several major military powers and their allies are in direct conflict with one another. No proxy wars where one side fights some smaller nation that is bankrolled by the other side like Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Afghanistan or Ukraine.
• It is an actual declared shooting war. No more “police actions” or “special military operations.” In the United States this requires an act of congress which hasn’t happened since 1942.
• Powers on both sides enter a total wartime economy. Food and fuel rationing, consumer goods go out of production to make more weapons, that sort of thing. In the United States, companies you don’t think of as arms manufacturers stopped what they were doing to build weapons. If Kitchenaid stops making stand mixers and starts making rifles, it’s probably World War 3.
• Actual fighting takes place in several different parts of the world for distantly related reasons. The Battle of Stalingrad, the D-Day landings at Normandy and the Battle of Guadalcanal are all considered part of the same war; present day fighting in Gaza and Ukraine are not. At least, not yet. You know how a high school history textbook has a couple chapters about the Spanish Civil War and the Japanese Invasion of Manchuria, then after the chapter end questions about China you turn the page and it says UNIT 3: WORLD WAR 2 and on the page after that it says “Chapter 18: Germany Invades Poland.” I can imagine reading a future textbook that puts Russia in Ukraine in either chapter. I think we’ll officially call it World War 3 when NATO is fighting Russia, Belarus and probably Iran for some reason in Eastern Europe and the United States, Japan, South Korea are fighting China, North Korea and probably also Russia in the Pacific, probably over Taiwan, with the Middle East as a third front akin to North Africa.
• Nukes. I think if anyone nukes anyone else we’ll call it World War 3 regardless.

Neither did Op For or Blue Shift.

Rule 134: If a food exists, there’s an American festival of it. No exceptions.

The “and prop your monitor on top” thing: I kinda wish there were more modern PC cases that could stand being horizontal. Most are designed to be towers.

The only two games I have that much time in are Factorio and Satisfactory.

Is Piper differently tailed or has he just got it wrapped around the other side? Like is that it wrapped around his paws there?

I think he’s the condensation on the glass, because that’s what the face is drawn in.

No probalo.

You mean like how our cults work?

The Iraq War

And also to be fair I’ve got a Samsung with a mostly failed backlight that I haven’t bothered to get rid of. I could probably sort of partially half ass fix it, but…

Weirdly, I enjoy when any two of them are hanging out.

Per the USDA:

| Ice cream shall contain at least 1.6 pounds of total solids to the gallon, weigh not less than 4.5 pounds to the gallon, and contain not less than 20 percent total milk solids, constituted of not less than 10 percent milkfat. In no case shall the content of milk solids not fat be less than 6 percent. Whey shall not, by weight, be more than 25 percent of the milk solids not fat.

Not only must it contain milk, but the amount of milk and milk fat per unit volume is regulated in the United States.

So does anyone else gamify heating their houses in winter? Like I try to keep the furnace from turning on by cooking and running washing machines and such. Get myself sick of baking so I don’t in the middle of summer.

Damn it actually works for some reason.

cats have a different idea of comfort than humans do.

An audience member jokes “And this’ll run on my 486?” That’s how old the Source engine is, that was a joke that landed.
