  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Promotes “Measles Parties” for Kids Amid Deadly Outbreaks

    Jump

  • I assume it's more about the parents high-fiving each other over really sticking it to the man or something. It's just one of the results of rampant anti-intellectualism. The kids are just a random collateral in that circlejerk of those brake pads of evolution.

  • Pro-life is just an euphemism for "control over women". Nothing more, and that resolves that weird contradiction.

  • Compliments

    Jump

  • It tends to get better with younger generations. I've gotten a lot of good and bad feedback about some changes I made during the last months but pretty much exclusively from friends and co-workers under 40.

    Was never weird though. Just smile and say something like "Right? I'm trying that out. Thank you :)"

    Accepting compliments can be learned.

  • Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month

    Jump

  • Yes, but Nextcloud is being offered as a hosted service by various Providers. Not everybody even here wants to or can run their own services.

  • Just get hosted Nextcloud somewhere and DAVx5.

  • It's just to make OP feel smart. A single driven axle with an open differential with one wheel on more slippery ground than the other would result in only one wheel transferring torque.

  • You will be either in my maelstrom of social interaction or you can leave, I'm partially sorry but I'm nowhere near the steering wheel as soon as I'm in a group of people.

  • The two ways of fighting profiteering

  • 2.5x the price of PLA where i am

    Yep, I usually print drafts in normal PLA and only the final part in the high temp stuff, but 2.5x is often still better than buying something if there's even a solution available. So, fine for me in edge cases.

  • I've always got a spool of high temperature PLA for that, good for up to 140°C.

  • As Elon Musk Promotes Far-Right German Party, EU Politicians Suggest Shutting Off X's Algorithm

    Jump

  • Starlink, in some places in Germany is the only usable option. We have shitty infrastructure.

  • "I'm really starting to regret my vote"

    Jump

  • Nah, they'll do the same as always: Find something or someone to blame that isn't themselves or their favorite sports political team, continue as usual.

  • Bargaining

    Jump

  • Yep, that's how I know by now a depressive episode is coming on.

    Recognizing them earlier helps me to give myself a mixture of slack and forced "that's good for you so do it fucker" that usually gets me through them quicker and with less collateral damage than just waiting them out.

  • Resources to learn FreeCAD

    Jump

  • The point is: With OnShape, I'm able to wing it. Scan something, load the STL, define a few planes throughout the whole thing, freehand a few lines, extrude, offset here and there for clearance, print, forget. With FreeCAD I need to do it correctly and, as I just need a physical thing, I just don't have the patience to find out what correctly would mean.

  • Resources to learn FreeCAD

    Jump

  • In my experience I have two possible decision paths: Do something using a commercial solution, OnShape in my case or try to do something using FreeCAD, get nowhere, look up tutorials, get somewhere but nowhere near what I need, give up, everything collects dust in the corner.

    I get the free software idea and spirit, but I'd rather actually be able to just draw and print things I need. Between work, having a house, friends, voluntary firefighting, building automation for tasks in our little village and everything else the day only has about 24 hours and I can't just cut sleep anymore as I did in my twenties.

  • WD unveils new high-capacity 32TB SMR and 26TB CMR disk drives

    Jump

  • Nah, I'm living outside the US, my home is made from proper bricks and concrete. A bit slower to build but rather good when it comes to sound insulation. I could imagine with those strand board walls that might be a problem though.

  • Ah, the sound of turning on the SCSI storage tower.

    KA-TSCHONK. WeeeeeeeeEEEEEIIIIIII... skrrrt, skrrrt, clack.

    Either that or KA-TSCHONK, silence, if there were already too many boxes on that circuit at a lan party 😁

  • I've found that the only thing you can hear through a closed basement door are noisy high speed fans, e.g. from used 19" servers, disks produce much less noise.
