I'm amazed at FreeCAD's abilities. It needs a better name. Thinking of it as simply "cad software" like calling a 2-GHz computer in your pocket a "phone". (lemmy.world)

I thought I would knock some dust off my drafting skills after a small chat with @captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works

Seeing this image on the tutorial made me realize, FreeCAD seems to be a Technical Geometry Super-Suite. It makes sense that CAD would grow to include all of these things. But I thought sharing the initial perspective of some one who hasn't looked at this stuff in about 18 years might be interesting.

Granted I'm not actually familiar with most of this stuff, and none of it from the POV of FreeCAD. If this can deliver 10% of what I'm looking at, I'm in for a treat.

I'm starting to think it's a conspiracy to waste otherwise productive people's time. (lemmy.world)

Surely, only North Korea would see it that way. [Is OC allowed? I'm new here.] (lemmy.world)

I'm a turbo dude. It's like an alpha male, but women like me.

And yet they had purple onions. Curious.

Elon, honey, what are you doin'? by ook_the_librarian in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 134 points 10 months ago

Well, the setup worked for whichever side chimed in. Elon never stood a chance. The fact that she was describing multiple people is truely terrifying. But I guess that's her point.

Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads by ook_the_librarian in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 82 points 10 months ago

Lol -- how's that working out for ya, Utah??

Kinda perfectly. The lawmakers don't want to block porn; they want their constituents to think they are effective. The people that don't go to pornhub hear it's blocked (well that's nice) and the ones that go, find a work around (some people like it being hard). They hope the work around is innocuous enough to be forgotten by election day.

I hope they miscalculated. I don't see how blocking porn and weed is a winning strategy. I don't understand this country. Life could be fun. We have all the ingredients.

Joe Rogan Mistakenly Blasts Biden’s Mental Fitness Over Something Trump Actually Said by ook_the_librarian in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 70 points 10 months ago

He did not acknowledge the logical conclusion that everything he said about Biden being unfit should then in theory be applied to Trump. No, Trump just "fucked up".

If read the article critically, you would not accept such a lazy correction.

For years, I took the wrong lesson from that Monster Cable experiment and only listened to my music through alligator-clipped coat hangers.

GOP Melts Down As Dick Durbin Uses Their Tactics For Advancing Biden Judges by ook_the_librarian in c/politics@lemmy.world

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 162 points 11 months ago

When Blackburn said again she wanted to talk, Cotton interjected, “Now I guess Sen. Durbin is not going to allow women to speak either. I thought that was sacrosanct in your party!”

Man, they thoroughly do not understand equality.

Henry Kissinger, America’s Most Notorious War Criminal, Dies At 100 by ook_the_librarian in c/upliftingnews@lemmy.world

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 76 points 11 months ago

That's very narrow-minded. He committed atrocities in Cambodia too. Good riddance indeed.

I won't miss seeing his op-eds published during major conflicts like he was some kind of diplomatic guru. What a monster.

Jill Stein formally launches 2024 White House bid as Green party candidate by ook_the_librarian in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 112 points 11 months ago

If you like the ideas of the Green Party, vote for them at the local level. The fact that they don't seem to want to govern at the local level is enough for me to ignore them as an option.

I think the correct response is "Wow. Has your mom seen it? Send her the link."
