  • Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why

  • After using TimeShift, I find Deja Dup better than TimeShift.

  • What do you guys do with your poo?

    Jump

  • They make great kitten toys based on the rate my wife's 2 rescue kittens enjoy stealing them out of the poop box.

  • I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings

    Jump

  • Combines ain't that complex. But they are fussy to run. Growing up on a farm you learn to fix them at a pretty young age. I've even owned one myself, a well used Case I bought from an Uncle. I can close my eyes and "see' every stinking moving part on any of the combines we owned. And I can still remember how access the parts and fix them.

    Personally, I hate balers far more.

  • Good FOSS design software for beginners?

    Jump

  • The UX is getting better In addons search for the Open Light or Open Dark themes and install them. The 1.1 RC are far smoother to use.

    For me I'm a big fan the of Pie Menu addon. I can create custom pie menus as needed with the tools I want. It allows fast working with the tools I mostly use right at the point of work.

  • Look up Mango Jelly on youtube for excellent tutorials on FreeCAD use. He has extensive videos to learn from.

  • Every voice vote I've ever had the honor of participating in, Aye is the word we used. As in "All in favor say Aye. All against say Nay"

    Yea, I can't say that "yea" or "yeah" is a hill worth dying on these days. So yeah....That's how I see it. (Anybody see my Oxford comma? I had it here somewhere)

  • So, you don't live where frosted pavement and black ice are a thing? And temperatures seldom dip below freezing.

  • Eeeeek

  • Good for you!

    As a great Philosopher once said: I'm pullin' for you. We're all in this together.

  • Actually, you can text 911. Many counties have setup that service. We got it working quite early in the counties I worked EMS in because voice calls are often quite sketchy due to poor cell service. You can easily be somewhere that a voice call can't work, but you just might have enough service to send text,

  • Sensible wall thickness and infill for tall walls?

    Jump

  • Good lord no. Don't do that. That would be a waste of filament and also cause a host of other problems for you.

    Determining how many walls and perimeters you might need for any print, depends on how much you intend to stuff in your bin and what size nozzle you are using.

    Usually, I use a .60mm nozzle to print gridfinity parts. That way I can easily use 2 walls for perimeters. But if you don't have a .60mm nozzle and only a .40mm, that's fine too. I would just increase the number of perimeters to 3 and get about the same wall thickness. Using too many walls may cause problems with warping due to uneven cooling. Or if it's a light duty bin, like one meant to hold small screws, 2 perimeters would work as well and be faster and cheaper to print.

    For infill choices, adaptive cubic is just fine for the majority of gridfinity bins, since the majority for strength to be had in 3D prints comes from the top, bottom, and perimeters, (and this is why we increase those for get the strength). But if you need the extra strength, something like gyroid works well, (and you're maxed out at 20% infill).

  • Mixtapes 2.0

    Jump

  • Ahh, all you sweet summer children and your fancy CD burners and MP3 players.....

    I remember the OG "mixtapes". Sitting on our bedroom floors for hours with a 9V 6 transistor radio and listening to the local rock and roll station hoping to hear your favorite group's new song being announced by the DJ so you could press the play and record buttons on that cheap portable cassette player to record the latest songs. All just so you could have a shitty mono recording to listen to.

    If your Girlfriend gave you a tape filled with all her favorite music, it was like both of you were half ways down the aisle and headed for marriage. It was that serious.

  • No governments don't get to cheap out on property values with eminent domain, it often happens that the value gets disputed and a court decides the value. And the governments often lose that battle.

  • Bay Area homeowners are hiring a sword-wielding man to help them kick squatters out of empty properties: ‘The average squatter has no melee experience’

    Jump

  • So, the 80 acres of forest land I own and pay taxes on should be taken away from me because I will never develop it into something useful?

    If I don't pay the taxes on it, it will get taken away by the government, but that's a different matter.

  • China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns

    Jump

  • The handles themselves freeze down and won't pop up to allow someone to actually open the door. Freezing rain and sleet and prevent even traditional style handles are known to freeze up and stop working.

  • As an old and now retired medic, once again EMS gets left out. Our caudecus is twin snakes with a pair of wings attached to the rod.

    Some say the snakes tell you we are real, honest to god, professionally trained medical personnel. And not just an overpriced taxi service.

    The wings indicate we will fly to your medical emergency as fast as we can. Because the louder you scream, the faster we come.

    And the rod is the gear shift lever that tells how fast we can shift from 'This ain't nothin' to 'Oh shit we gotta go. We gotta go NOW' And 'Inject ALL the diesel' modes.

    And finally our motto: "I'm always willing to bet your life I can keep you alive long enough so you can die on some doctor and not me"

  • Anyone miss all the colors?

    Jump

  • It ain't the glass that costs. It's the sleek custom designed shape of the housing that costs all that money. Not the mirror.

    A plain round simple mirror that is externally mounted is cheap and easy to replace. But it won't make your car look as fast or as cool.

  • Question: To replace or attempt fix

    Jump

  • You sound like you are looking for the justification to buy a new printer. If your current machine is preventing you from making the things you want, get something that will allow you to make those things.

    You want recommendations? Prusa, what you get beyond the initial price is worth it. Bambu, the Apple of the 3d printing world, lock in included at no extra cost. Qidi, a cheaper printer with features that make printing more difficult engineering filaments easier.

  • You do need a cheap accelerometer to use it though. They are cheap, but still an added cost.
