(I was just trying to find a quantitative stitches per minute for the machine when I came across the that mad lad's video. It was especially cool seeing that they were using a machine from the same era as the one that I own - you can tell by the lack of reverse and graduations for stitch length adjustments. Seriously, though, if you have any interest in sewing, whether for cosplay, or anything else a vintage straight-stitch machine will handle anything you throw at it except for the stretchy fabrics that absolutely require zig-zag or overlock.)
Well fuck. There goes that one.
Power over others is a core value of the hierarchical belief structure of conservatism.
For a modern machine, it's ok. The current "Heavy-Duty" Singer machines are really more "moderate-duty" and suffer from significant reliability and repairability issues. Yes, it can do zigzags and other stitches out of the box without an attachment but, can it stitch through two layers of 1000D ballistic nylon with a polypropylene sheet as a stiffener without complaining AND double as an emergency boat anchor? My all-metal, 10kg model 99k (portable model) can and it was cheaper and can be converted to use a treadle or manual crank :P.
Seriously, vintage machines are awesome.
6/10. Now if it were a model 66, 99, or a featherweight, that would be 11/10.
Shhh! You'll scare him off!
SHARP thinkers.

I had missed that. Thank you!
I'll go with FreeCAD. I've known about it for a while and tried it about 5-10 years ago but have given it another look as I try to get back into CAD stuff and hate the restrictive licenses of commercial products. It has come a LONG way and is far more intuitive to use than it used to be.
I agree with you, to an extent. I would say it's a lot more complicated than that with World of Warcraft, which is an MMO, and does not revolve on gambling except in the aspect of random number generated loot.
The way that the drops are is literally the same approach as a slot machine but with more steps to take up your time with boring shit and require more of your life to be dedicated to it so that there is less risk of you getting distracted by things like hobbies or games with finite stories with quality writing. A one-armed bandit might snag a handful of whales that spend all of their time feeding the machine. The Wrath of the Lich Bandit gets a much larger percentage of its users in front of it for a larger amount of their time, increasing the ratio of addicts/whales caught. Add in expansions, real money auctions, etc and you've got something much more fucked up than anything on a Vegas casino floor.
Maybe has something to do with the dinner she had with him.
