@Noahpinion I like rabbits more than any other animal

Ragebating for engagement is so easy. Just give your honest rankings of your preferences. I like blackberries better than raspberries. I like Lord of the Rings better than Harry Potter. I like Vietnamese food better than Thai food. Etc. Try it and watch the hate explode!

Hmmm not gonna lie the @ImpulseLabs cart looks kinda spartan. Might have to design something fancier...

@DSirenite @build_boost Solidworks, as far as I know. Which is especially crazy because it's less forgiving than Fusion for workflow.

@Mammoth @build_boost He might’ve been a blender guy before cad. Trying to learn blender after being used to cad/cam makes me want to kms.

I will never hire anyone to do CAD without looking at part files of stuff they've made. I just opened a part made by an ex-coworker and a simple two part 3D printed enclosure for a thumb drive sized PCB has 378 features, 73 sketches, and takes 8 seconds to rebuild. What a mess 🤮

@evnphillips @build_boost It was simple enough that a few sketches and extrudes/cuts should have done it. Parametric or not, there was no need for hundreds of operations.

@Mammoth @build_boost If it’s that simple it definitely doesn’t warrant parametric modeling.

@FortSmithFDM I just want usable files. I had to change something and instead of editing a sketch or feature like you should, I had to make the problem worse by tacking on more features at the end.

@Mammoth Nice so you guys are just as arrogant and prone to gatekeeping as the software engineering side, this should be a fun transition 💀

There's no NIMBYs on the moon

@NathanBLawrence @ManishEarth Omg keep.new works too

@ManishEarth @Mammoth To this day use sheet.new even when I just want to jot down a couple things.

Wtf this is awesome

@AntinomeWLP Yeah no this was a few rounded rectangles

@Mammoth i could generously imagine someone adding a lot of forward looking features for injection molding but that's just too much. honestly i could just look at where the reference planes are and have a good idea what kind of engineer they are. 1. random 2. on datums 3. centered

@build_boost Loads of Move Face, Split Body, etc. I didn't bother to look at the sketches to see if they were fully defined. A complete lack of understanding (or care) of parametric modeling.

@Mammoth Wtf?? How lol. Like intentionally bad, that.

@i2cjak Noooo 😩

this isn't for molding it's so that the insides are sufficiently scrambled. this kills the bunnies inside :((((

@ManishEarth 🤯

@Mammoth see also: doc.new etc

@Icalbert101 Nahhh it's Buffalo Chicken or bust

Monterrey Jack Chicken is the only correct answer also "taquito"

hiring is impossible BECAUSE it's so easy to apply finding a relationship is impossible BECAUSE new dates are a swipe away getting into university is hard BECAUSE you can CommonApp apply to 50 at once convenience is washing away friction that actually carried a lot of signal

@i2cjak Have you checked out Ploopy? ploopy.co

why can I not create a trackball with this? WHY HASN'T ANYONE DONE THIS? MOUSE SENSORS SUCK

@techknight2 @halo_dude Are they shaped roughly like the older Intel Mac Minis, crummy aluminum case that's surprisingly heavy?

@halo_dude Came in a prebuilt appliance fanless PC bought during the semiconductor shortage.

World's worst SSD, causing a customer service call nightmare on one of my appliance servers out in the field...

@VishakhRanotra Corrosion

What are the most difficult problems to solve in engineering?

@ManishEarth Wtf, you found it on the curb?? 😮

the Berkeley streets hath bequeathed unto me a working golfball typewriter
