Anyone who has ever read the Sword of Truth series and encountered the author’s obsession with hating socialism has seen what happens when right-wing folk do it: it ruins the experience.
And unions. Really drove that home when Richard was in the Old World.
This advertisement for an awful commercial software package with a restrictive license in NO WAY helps the original poster learn FreeCAD.
I am not sure why you consider it an awful commercial software package, but I have found it to be quite nice to use for learning 3D design and improving my CAD skills.
The restrictive license is right out in the open and not hidden, so there is no surprise there. I have been using SolidWorks for 8 or so years, and for designing things for around the house for my use and whatever I put on Thinginverse and Printables it has been a great deal. I don't use it for commercial work, partly because of the license restrictions but also I am not interested in performing CAD work on the side. I do the CAD work I do at home for my enjoyment instead of watching TV.
And as far as not being able to help OP - on more than one occasion, I have had someone tell me that they were using one of the FOSS CAD programs because they didn't know about being able to get Solidworks for that price.
Everyone has their preference, and mine is Solidworks for playing around at home, so I let OP know about it.
Thanks for the info. I didn't know about the Titans of CNC option. I can pass that along to people who are not able to get the Veteran deal.
And now I need to make a 3D printed mold in a comfortable shape that can be used to easily cast concrete around a lighter.
Maybe a simple cylinder, with the lighter off center so it can easily be flicked?
Maybe I'll squish some play-doh around one and scan it and use that.
Whatever, it just needs to be too big to "accidentally" end up in someone's pocket.
Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.
Huh, you know maybe knowing the origin of the joke affects how I determine whether it's derogatory or not?
I did not think about that, but looking back, seems like an easy pitfall.
Good point.
Honesty, I think it would be fairly easy to figure out.
If it is derogatory - homophobe.
If it points out an idiosyncracy, and makes fun of it - queer, or at least not homophobe.
In my experience, bgoted people make jokes that insult and/or demean those people they hate. It is not done primarily to be funny, but to hurt and demean. Making it funny just helps spread it around.
How about a 6 pin connector?
Cable side connector with strain relief. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT06SE-10-6P-SR/341057
Bulkhead connector. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT02SE-10-6S/341071
To include or exclude the strain relief, add or remove the "(SR)" from the part number.
Audiograbber with the LAME codec. Actually still have it on my computer. I still buy the random CD now and again and rip it to my media server, and then never touch it again.
