The time and effort you put in to learning 3D Cad will more than pay off for you in your ability to make things you need that someone else hasn’t yet made and posted online. Sure, it will be a bit of learning curve, but what are we here for but to learn and grow?

I use FreeCAD which is FOSS. There’s a great series of Youtube Videos by Mango Jelly on how to use it.

Lemmytools is what I was hoping to find. Thank you! Installed and working great. I’ll never have to see another Trump post again.

In Perun’s latest vid, he mentions that SK have a publicly stated plan to take out NK ‘top leadership’ in the event of war.

Already impacted. Unprecedented fires. Unprecedented floods. My home insurance is 5x what it was only five years ago.

When we add excessive amounts of it, it is definitely pollution. I think it’s time to start talking about it as such.

And yet there are still people who don’t believe human made climate change is real.

I believe they upload a hash of one frame.

Ooh, look! The FSB is on Lemmy.

Russian asset

Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.

I actually like it. Thanks.

By the sounds of it, they had a lot of miles under their belt.

You have to wonder how they ended up dead? What happened to the EPIRB? Did they not have a PLB? GPS and Portable Radio?

I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there aren’t many pirates in the middle of the Atlantic.

I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don’t have it turned on.

AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.

Isn’t this just more of what caused the problem in the first place? Namely, centralisation. If you store data locally and you lose a machine, that’s bad but not the end of the world. If you store it centrally and you lose the data, that’s catastrophic. Nassim Taleb nailed this stuff. Keep the downside limited, and the upside unlimited or as he says, “Don’t pick up pennies in front of a steamroller.”

Petty much the view that Russia’s neighbours see when looking across the border. And the Russians wonder why nobody wants be friends…

Are you sure you are on the right server? I think Lemmy.ml is probably more your bubble.

The Eastern Bloc suffered an enormous drop in living quality following the dissolution of the USSR. Far from reaping a bounty via free market liberty, the people in these countries found themselves the subject of a historic privatization and looting of national treasuries and resources.

This is a black and white perspective. You have to keep in mind that citizens of these countries were significantly worse off as (involuntarily) being part of the USSR than the countries that were not in the Eastern Bloc, and most of them are now significantly better off as part of the EU. Most citizens remember the repression, shortages, and russification all too well.

Thanks tankie operative.

Tankies are out in force today…
