It’s the exact same components I would have bought at a local store if there were any.

The last one closed almost 20 years ago. (Long before Temu, aliexpress and banggood)

If you were under the illusion that Trump is going to improve the situation for the Palestinians in any way, I have a bridge to sell you…

Inconsistency is the only thing Trump can be counted on to do reliably.

part of it is picking one that doesn’t drive me batty and taking some time to work with it

CAD and 3D modeling can look overwhelming for a beginner, but there are some tools that are pretty quick to pick up the basics of.

Tinkercad is probably the fastest for most people to get some basic results from.

Personally, I have been working on learning FreeCAD. The newest version is a major step forward in capability and the learning curve isn’t too steep - especially with some of the tutorials I’ve found on youtube.

Blender is it’s own beast - super powerful, but very different that anything else I’ve tries to use.

I’ll have to take your word for that.

I have no interest in using either platform.

And they dont work with gloves when it’s cold.

They should never have been allowed in the first place

Republicans, they’re not sending their best.

That’s been pretty clear for a few decades.

I’m hoping he can burn both to the ground

99% of everything I have ever seen on Threads is pure distilled engagement bait,

That sounds exactly like XTwitter…

In most states, it’s legal to walk around toppless.

However that doesn’t atop some Karen type from calling the police to come and harass you. And there’s no guarantee the cop that shows up won’t decide you are disturbing the peace or something.

Nor does it stop immature bros from being idiots about it and making the person feel unsafe.

The risk of the payment system getting shut down and people being unable to make payments for a while is real. And it is one good reason to be less reliant on digital payments.

Exactly.

Part of the card processing system goes down often enough due to various technical failures that it should just be good business sense to always be capable of accepting cash.

Stores where I live have had to go cash only a few times a year when one or another issues shuts down their ability to accept cards.

You would think any functioning capitalist would have a backup method of taking your money.

And who carries enough cash around to be useful any more?

I do. Maybe not physically in my pocket, but between my wallet and my home there’s enough cash to buy a tank of gas and a few days of groceries.

Parts of the debit/credit processing system are fragile enough that I’ve seen them down randomly for signifigant portions of a day.

Cash has got me food when other people have been stuck without the ability to pay more than once in the last couple of years.

If anything he’s being a bit generous.

Libraries rent out ebooks too

Libraries loan out ebooks and other media.

/pet peeve.

They also argued that there’s a “substantial market” for older or classic games, and a new, free library to access games would “jeopardize” this market. Perlmutter

And if that market demand isn’t being catered to, or is being actively refused to be served, is there any wonder people are finding other ways to get that stuff?

All they’re doing is hoarding this old software and preventing its use based on the speculation that they might eventually figure out a way to profit from long gone developers work.

could’ve sworn that the browser was also called just Mozilla at one point

If I remember correctly, at one point Mozilla referred to itself as “the godzilla of Mosaic” or something like that.

Mosaic being the first widely available web browser.

But think of the shareholders

I have many thoughts of the shareholders.

Most of those thoughts are quite violent.

I got nothing to hide.

I’m willing to bet that they have curtains on their bedroom window…
