And then they undermined that message that one time they made the zombies real, and probably a couple other times I don’t remember.

you need a highly accurate model of what broke. Do you just take a bunch of measurements, then do your best to guess and check? Is there a process to this, or what does this look like?

There’s a couple different strategies. Taking measurements is often the most straightforward. And it’s generally not too bad because often times the thing you measure will be in round units, so you can confidently guess the true measurement intended.

For example, if I measure the diameter of a shaft that broke off, and it’s 10.1mm, then I can pretty confidently say I should make the CAD model 10mm.

An alternative method is to take a picture of the object from multiple directions, zoomed in and far away to make the view as orthographic as possible. Include a known distance like a ruler, and then you can past the image in the background of your CAD software and model off of that. Generally I find this more helpful for organic shapes that wouldn’t make much sense to measure.

Stealing profits that are already made by stealing? Yeah, I have no sympathy for that.

Tax payers already pay for this shit through federal funding of the sciences, just for the publishers to turn around and steal people’s time and money to view and peer review them. Publishers are thieves, so they can go fuck themselves.

I tend to aim for 50% of the day doing actual shit, as long as I have some good progress to show for the day. The rest of it is resting and keeping up with house chores.

In person was such a shit show. I was only working for 50% anyways, and also had chores once I got home. So it was a lose lose situation for both me and my employer.

Not looking forward to the RTO they’re inevitably going to do.

One of my coworkers is a furry. He’s the only god dammed person on the team holding the project together.

His code is deep magic though, so it’s a double edged sword.

I’d rather see furries than fascists.

Looks like a job for a stew that makes you blind for a day

As an American I support this move. Every fucking day they should have to answer for why we lost the very fucking symbol of freedom.

Where exactly in the single cell is the soul stored?

Femboys are the ones in charge of deciding the speakers decided to not let them work

Context didn’t seem to matter before. So fuck off with that double standard.

Surely this will make egg prices go down.

That’s crossed my mind once or twice, but ultimately I don’t want to put myself in a situation I can’t readily get out of if I can help it. So I’ve been holding off.

I’ll definitely still be trying to go as far as I can up the hill under my own power as I can, but once I hit my limit I want the assist. I want the goal to be to slowly improve how far up I can get on my own.

But it’s gonna half to be baby steps.

I also bought an ebike. They are incredible for days you aren’t feeling well or need to grab extra groceries. Good luck with your conversion project! I bet you’ll love it

I have a grocery store juuuuust at the ~15 minute walk range of my home. It’s also up a giant hill. Nowhere near as bad, but bad enough for me to say “fuck it, I don’t have the energy to walk or bike”, and I take my car up for a few small things when I absolutely could have just walked.

So I’m hoping to reduce that as well, and take the bike for small trips like that.

I’m going with a 48V 13Ah battery and a 500W motor, and it’s a mid drive. So I should definitely be in a good spot if yours is doing well for you.

And my battery is removable, so I’ll be able to charge it at my desk which will be nice.

Looks fairly similar. That gives me hope that the conversion will do what I want.

Out of curiosity, what type of motor/battery are you using?

Yeah, hence why I’m trying to convert my bike into an ebike. I’ve never tried biking up it. I know I could walk it easily, but it’d probably double the time it takes.

At a minimum, the conversion should make the hill manageable even if it doesn’t make it easy.

That, and keeping up with my friends on trails will be nice.

The shit show to get to work for me in a major U.S. city, living ass deep in the city limits:

Trying to switch to an ebike where I can, just ordered the parts. Hopefully it will make this massive ass hill a little easier.

Yes and no. The main version is forked from ubuntu, but there is also LMDE which is debian based.

A good way to keep this easy for yourself is to keep the files you actually care about like pictures, game saves, documents, etc all on a separate partition. It makes it very easy to make a backup for distro hopping.

You can nuke your OS as many times as you like, and everything will be exactly in the same place.
