FreeCAD still crashes for me a lot, across versions and distros and different PCs. I just don’t know what the deal is; maybe bad luck.

Then, its kernel, being the only truly viable open source one, is understandable but also has some limitations commercial tools don’t, and I’m just talking about super basic stuff like giving up on a fillet or chamfer as soon as two vertices touch.

The workflow is much improved, as are the heuristics for user intention (yes, yes, the “crutches”) and to mitigate toponaming, but I still get frustrated trying to use it for my stupid keyboard and other 3D printing projects. I have Alibre Design on my Windows partition, and with the improvements in Linux gaming (seriously OP, it’s WAY better these days), CAD is the main reason I even bothered to keep my old SSD with Windows.

There are probably things I do at work in MS Office that Libre would have a hard time with, but frankly I just don’t care. :-)

Agreed. Can we have this article taken off the internet? I don’t want it accessible from any of my connections.

I recently had a dream that involved a suburb of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I have never been to Green Bay Wisconsin. I know it as a rather small city that is the home to the Green Bay Packers, an administratively anachronistic NFL team that draws a large plurality of its fan base from the greater Milwaukee area. Off the top of my head, I don’t know if Green Bay has “suburbs” in the usual American sense at all.

I googled the name of this completely nonexistent community, along with the words “Green Bay,” and the AI very confidently hallucinated it into existence, describing it as a lovely shopping and residential area just over the bridge of the same name.

I’m a little confused about what states in US are. Are they more like their own countries united in alliance, or are they districts of one country?

They’re closer to districts, but with more constitutionally described rights. Definitely much more independent than French provinces, and even more than German states or UK constituent countries (devolution is at Parliament’s discretion, for instance), but much, much less than EU countries.

Are we still primitive?

Compared to whom?

Seems like it’s from the same dude’s library as the one from last year, and he was into Epicurean philosophy, though not the hedonistic caricature that’s come down to us.

In addition to the other people you’re hearing, “dwarf planet” also has specific criteria associated with how the body interreacts with its solar system. A dwarf planet has to orbit its star directly and be big enough for its gravity to have pulled it into a roughly spherical shape, but small enough that it hasn’t cleared its orbit.

A dwarf star is just a star that’s not particularly big and bright for whatever reason. While the terminology is similar, the usage is very different.

He did some stupid shit like, IIRC, retweeted an old post where he said now that he supported Trump, the left would use dirty tricks to smear him, than added a new statement mocking them for not having a more creative dirty trick than calling him Hitler.

He said nothing else that I saw, most likely because he’s a Nazi.
