- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with everything except relegating Blender to organics and decorative designs. Blender is absolutely viable for hard surface /mechanical modeling. Even without the parametric addons. The Boolean modifiers are much more reliable than they used to be and all the tools for manipulating objects makes the whole design process very fast. Everything I make these days is almost entirely non-destructive, which means edits are painless as well.
There are of course limitations such as compound fillets being very difficult to execute cleanly if not downright imposible in some cases.
Have you tried the parametric addons? I can’t imagine they work all that well but I haven’t looked into them in the past 5 or so years.
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 2 weeks ago:
You don’t need a powerful computer for blender unless you’re doing rendering or sculping or working with really high poly models. Especially when compared to proper CAD packages. I do a lot of design work in blender and my computer is so unstressed by it I can hear the CPU chirping when I rotate the viewport.
It’s worth learning the basics of a parametric CAD but blender will do virtually everything faster and give you greater freedom and control over the exact geometry it outputs.

I think a lot about the Scandinavian prison where the guards forgot to lock the cells and the inmates used the night to do some baking.
- Comment on After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocence 2 weeks ago:
I do agree on principle but somewhere in the back of my brain it’s going “what about repeat violent offenders.” But I feel like any solution I can come up with could be pretty easily used by the state as a force of marginalization anyway. So back at square one.

- Comment on i enjoy using drugs and that will never change 3 weeks ago:
So, I have PTSD and a whole other laundry list of disorders, and weed is the only thing that ever helped with the exhaustion from hyper vigilance and obsessive thinking, nightmares, appetite, muscle tension etc. without horrendous side effects.
I’ve been sober for like 6 months or something and it’s been miserable. It’s so not worth it it’s not even funny. I’m even less capable of working a job or doing house work. THC is a miracle drug for a lot of people and it’s fucking criminal that’s it’s illegal and demonized the way it is.

There is a mode that’s strictly mech v mech. Which is pretty much all I play.

Yeah I’m actually curious about this one.

It’s a trauma disorder so medication is really only fighting the symptoms. It can be healed tho. Not everyone with BPD projects it outwardly either and not all that do are abusive.

You’re good people ❤️

Ah the multiple personality serial killer trope. Classic, fallacious, and not the least bit problematic.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 2 months ago:
Okay hold up. If you can get attached to a cat you can get attached to a spider. Getting attached to an AI is weird I agree but when you give a lil jumping spider water and it gets comfortable around you an just starts hanging out… There something behind those eyes, man, and that’s cool. Two living beings recognizing each other, maybe not as equals obviously, but outside of the predator-prey dynamic. Idk there’s beauty in that.

More astroturfed than homemade, but yeah. I mean Hitler cited Ford as an inspiration and gave him an award in 1940 something. It’s been gross for a long time.

- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 6 months ago:
yeah we primarily watch on a Samsung TV through a PS5. I’m not seeing any alternatives for either device. I might be able to slap together a desktop from spare parts but I’m not sure I want to start maintaining a whole other computer.
Probably time to make a switch either way, what with them paywalling HDR and h.265
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 6 months ago:
what’s with h265 that’s everyone’s acting like it’s some massive hurdle that you should have to pay to be able to use files with that encoding? that’s one of the things Plex has paywalled already and it’s becoming harder and harder to find good quality content that isn’t in that format.
