Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.

edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.

“Daddy, why do people have to eat?”

[long pull from cig] “Plants… They came here. Now we are enslaved to eat them. It is their way.”

Some stores sell a little shelf for your shower crunchwraps. They have a little suction cup on them. It’s a really clever design.

Crunchwrap supreme. Next question.

So I’ve live a few places around the US (all east of the Missisip. So it’s not like a good survey), but the place that is worst for this has been southern Louisiana (north shore). Everywhere kinda sucks, but it’s anarchy there.

Why are you the judge of what conditions make it acceptable?

Maybe I’ve always just felt a Roblox-shaped hole in my heart.

That’s easier to boycott than diapers, my friend.

Buying cat litter when you also need diapers and have to shop with a baby in tow? I’ll be anti-consumer next year.

Ever used photoshop with an undo history? It’s particularly nice for text based commands.

Actually that’s a great place for some “I want to help but I don’t know computers” people to jump in.

That makes total sense. I was on my way to mechanical engineering when I was learning autocad and autodesk mechanical desktop if you remember that. Now it’s just in autocad. (I guess that’s an example of how things used to unshittify. I bet adobe would bring back MD as a separate product nowadays.)

So if you try to enter woodworking after that experience, it feels right to model projects like that. I had learned a lot of coding by this point. So adding the code into parts for flexibility felt great.

This is going to sound complicated. That’s because I bet you can do this with one click. But I thought it was cool I model a compound mitre angle for a cut using numbers I calc’d on Octave (matlab-like foss). Since I’m just a tinkerer, I could only imagine how powerful that could be for pros. Lots of “where was this when I needed it” thoughts.

I tried qcad around 2010 or so and found the UI horrible compared to autocad that I was used to. At this point in my life, drafting was pretty useless. So I had no reason to have cad unless it was free.

I found OpenScad in Y2020 and was amazed at how far it had come. It felt much more like the commercial stuff, at least to me, who was behind the times anyway.

I was disappointed not to see one. That’s not a ‘no’, but I did look for one.

I just thought in hindsight, my response to you plugging freecad is funny.

It’s like you took me into your workshop with all these benches, and I just point at the openscad bench like a caveman and grunt “scad”.

Thought I’d ping you. I checked out freecad and posted some initial thoughts here. https://lemmy.world/post/11352164

An electrical ground is reservoir into which you can dump charge with altering its potential difference. A car, in and of itself, is ground for the small shocks that occur from static. The earth is a bit overkill here.

Edit: I am about to use the word “safe” on the internet. Normal “don’t trust everyone on the internet” warnings apply.

You are correct that connecting yourself to ground of the car is the same as connecting to the negative terminal. You should be safe doing so in a properly wired car.

That is to say, unless you expect to be at different potential differences. When might that happen? In a lightning strike for example. You do NOT want to electrically connected to your car’s ground in a lightning strike. (You should be perfectly safe inside the car, not touching the car’s ground.) Your car is not a reservoir for that kind of charge.

The earth can handle a lightning strike without a (measurable) change in potential difference. This is why fish are not cooked in lightning storms.

Humans are horrible, but a main-stream social media platform should not be a celebration of it. People need to demand change and then leave if ignored. I seem to hear people demanding change. The next step has more impetus.
