Fusion 360 used to be free for the hobbyist too. FreeCAD is GPL licensed, so it will always be free.

Wasn't that then number always returned by the PS3 random number generator used in their DRM?

Typical walking speed is about 2.5 to 3 MPH suppose your government legislated a universal walking speed limit of 1.5 MPH. I think you can easily see that ridiculous laws create offenders, and the offenders are the victim of bad laws.

To take this to its logical conclusion, once the streets are gone, there is no need for buildings anymore, so they can tear those all down and plant a forest. But then you wonder where you are going to put all the people who used to live and work there.

Update: My car was serviced last night (2023-10-31) to fix this. It has been fixed for $190, but all they said about what was fixed was the following: Correction: X057 Connector Soft Set - Inspection I asked through the app what was found and how it was fixed, but got no response. X057 appears to be an identifier for a connector, but I can't figure out from the wiring diagrams I have for the car where that connector would be. It appears the audio signals go through that connector, but that does not explain why the radio sounded fine, and only the navigation audio was unintelligible.

In California, any time I have seen an Amtrack train going the same direction as me on the freeway, I was passing it, never the other way around.

The rules are entirely arbitrary, and have no basis in science. I have been told to turn off a GPS receiver that ran on two AA batteries for 12 hours. There is no possible way that you could affect the planes electronics with the power of two AA batteries. Especially not with electronics designed to be quiet enough not to interfere with the extremely weak GPS signals it must listen to. The electronics on a plane must be horribly designed if they can be affected by any hand held electronic device.

I used to go to a local book store, until they stopped stocking any new science fiction. Then they went out of business and I was forced to buy books at Amazon as there was no other book store to go to.

I absolutely despise the following directories: Documents, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Videos. Why? Because applications randomly dump stuff into these directories and fill them with junk files. I don't want any application putting anything into directories I actually use, unless I explicitly tell them to. It is not possible to keep your files organized if applications randomly dump trash files into them.

I spent seven years living in an apartment. I so enjoyed hearing the neighbors having sex, the thumping music they played, the smell of their cigarette smoke inside my apartment with all my windows closed, the random intrusions by management to repair something unrelated to my apartment, the random rent increases. Add this to the fact that I had no space for a work shop to make anything, and paying the equivalent of a mortgage with no equivalent home equity. Some people love apartment life, but it definitely was not for me.

Even though the gui file manager shows all directories as an image of a manila folder...

Enter the librarian...

Trump only has two expressions: Smug gloating, and grumpy. That smile is a photoshop.

Particle board is heavier than un-processed wood. Ikea does sell some stuff made from actual wood if you look for it. I bought an unfinished pine table from them for $60 a few years ago.

Print a bunch of these as stickers, and put them on dumpsters.

You own the copyright of your photo, AI flat art has no copyright, therefore the only copyright is yours.

And we do this by flinging metallic lead all over the countryside.

This limitation is too easy to get around. Have AI generate a picture. Take a photo of that picture and destroy the original. Copyright is now owned by the photographer. Have an AI write some music, change one note of that music and call in your arrangement of that piece, destroy the original music, and only your arrangement that you have a copyright on exists. etc.

Some idiot is going to hang out near the camera with a boom box and play loud engine noises every time an electric vehicle drives by.

There seems to be yet another new battery technology that will save the world every day. And yet, they never become available to the public. I really wish we could ban them from announcing until they can mass produce the battery and sell it to the public. It is almost as bad as all those articles about the "flying car that will be available next year" articles that have been appearing in magazines since the 1950's.

In California, if there is not a parallel alternative route for bicycles to take, they are allowed on the freeway. Many parts of the 101 freeway fit this exception. State highway 130 (look it up on google maps) is a favorite of cyclists. It is a two lane state highway with a 40 MPH speed limit. for most of its length, there are no shoulders. In many places, the white line on the edge of the lane is also the edge of a vertical cliff. There are places where I have seen an SUV in front of me with one wheel on the white line, and the other on the double yellow line because the lane is so narrow. The road is so winding that there are very few places where you can even get to the speed limit, let alone exceed the speed limit. But bicyclists love it because it was built to allow horse drawn wagons to haul heavy loads to the top of a 4000' peak, so it has a very gentle grade, and there are great views along its entire length.

Pilsner is not the only alternative to IPA.

so make the cars go somewhere else

Your first suggestion Is what I hate about the car hating crowd. Remove that from your agenda. Make your alternatives better than a car without screwing over the car drivers. You will make more people accept your changes that way. Light rail in San Jose is a disaster, it does not go to useful places, and it gets there slowly. It should have been a subway so it could be independent of surface traffic.

Thank you. I am very much in favor of fully open projects, so I am giving this one a try first. I found there is a desktop version as well, but it does not detect the GPS dongle plugged into my linux computer, and crashes if I try to search my own address. I can put in a 1, but when I put in the second digit, the program crashes. Routing seems to work fine on the android app though.

The evil thing about this is that it will be at minimum hours, possibly days, before someone who did this can come back to complain.

Had to get blockchain in there somewhere to appeal to the idiot investors.

If you want people to abandon cars, make the alternatives better. Unfortunately I never see that happening, I only see attempts to make car travel worse. I hate public transport with a passion, because it is so bad. When I was commuting, it took an hour each way to go 13 miles, but if I tried to take public transport, it would have taken two hours each way, including 2 miles of walking on a state highway with no shoulder and no sidewalks. Would have had to take a bus to the light rail, and change trains at least once. This light rail shared the same road that cars use, so it was subject to all of the same traffic issues that cars suffered.

K being 1024 only makes sense for RAM and ROM which are addressed with a particular number of address lines where the addressable size is 2^(number of address bits). Flash memory, and rotating media have entirely different addressing structures so normal SI units work bettor for them, and just about everything else.

As long as no cats have been there, probably no harm.

Where are you getting sour chocolate? Dark chocolate is bitter, not sour. I much prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate or white chocolate. In fact I even like bakers chocolate (100% coco, no sugar). White chocolate has no chocolate flavor.

It is most annoying to see other countries copying the mistakes of the USA. But because so many countries copy our mistakes, USA news IS world news.

Are there any recovery specialists who will give a ball park quote for data recovery from an SD card without requiring ones life story, bank account numbers and all your passwords before they will talk to you?

Now you've done it. I'm now tempted to get some extra stick on wheel weights to "balance" the wheels of the unbalanced people who ICE Tesla chargers. Much more subtle then letting the air out of their tires.

South of King City the 101 has been "under construction" for at least two years. I have not seen any evidence of any change to the road in that time. Just the 55 MPH speed limit where it used to be 70.

My biggest complaint about IPAs is that they have pushed out nearly every other type of beer. Go to a restaurant and they will have 10 IPAs one pilsner (probably Budwiser), a brown ail and no other options.

Cut the split ring. That is easily replaceable.
