The scary thing is that this managed to get published in the first place.

And it is sad that they had it withdrawn. I would love to see that real science rips this idea to shreds.

Would be an interesting project to make this project an image on a flat screen instead of a conic one.

No one will win it, but I expect the US to lose it big time.

When the government is out to kill the citizens, they are no longer citizens but subjects.

Thanks. Any more pointers?

That would be the order if he was coming from the top. From the bottom, as photographed, this is a bit more of a problem.

Reminds me of a story, but I don't know if this actually happened:

An architect was asked to plan a new university campus. He presented his plans with all the different buildings, but people were astonished: "You have not planned any paths in your layout!". Architect: "We'll just sow grass everywhere. A year later, we will know where to put the paths."

  1. Climb up somehow.

  2. Get a broom.

  3. Empty the staircase.

Not just because of bird flu one should not drink this.

More like "The French have good PR".

Someone who does not know about "permanent delete" and not having backups, especially when switching to a new system, should have no business complaining about this.

Because you now did it to yourself.

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.
