I think it's been like a couple weeks at least since I finished a Connections.  Literally went in dreading it today.  :|

Edit: I just realized after reading the other pturn’s reply I apparently was doing yesterdays puzzle. Weird, didn’t realize the game was time zone sensitive I guess?

The first trailer will drop and exactly 30 minutes later someone will upload an overdub with Jeff and IT WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER.

Damnit! Who let Socrates in here again? /gets broom and starts pushing

Shoo! Begone philosopher! Nobody likes your kind!

I just want to say this YouTuber got a sub from me last night. Went into his back catalogue and recent videos were really good and I learned a few nice things.

Regarding fc1.1, I really like the update. These guys are on the gas and making substantial updates. I can’t overstate how .9 whatever was hard to use vs 1.0 and now 1.1 is another leap again. It’s just great to see.

I speak as someone that only started learning any CAD as a hobby in the last 5 years. I’ve toyed with every (free) program short of going the pirate route and I’m really glad to see a FOSS alternative start to step up.

I do still have a laundry list of things I’d like to see them fix/change. But as is, it’s working well enough for my use cases!

I was the same way. I started with OpenSCAD and it made way more sense at first.

But what drove me to FreeCAD was when my parts started getting more and more complicated. I think it was being able to chamfer or fillet all the things that really pushed me.

I am in awe of experts of either program though. I think I still really love how openSCAD is so much easier to understand the steps someone took to get to a finished model when you look at other people’s work. And you can just lift pieces out and reuse them.

Umm, I think they can read.

And if you objectively look at every other animal on the planet and then look at humans… how are we not pugs of our genetic family tree?

Fuckin’ humans and our weird ass pointy noses and bulbous heads. We are weird.

It keeps people talking about it.

Sometimes that’s all the point there is.

I guess it depends if it’s sequel or prequel. Maybe it’s flashbacks.

Agent Carter started well enough and the premise was fine at first but IIRC the writing in the second season kind of went off the rails. I was hoping for “origin of SHIELD” and we got some romp in Hollywood or something? Kind of forgettable.

Maybe I am remembering wrong but that would probably prove my point more…

Edit: meant to reply directly to OP but I guess it works here because I agree with the above assesment too lol

Because some of the audience hates looking at pieces of shit every day.

If a literal pile of feces came up on your feed every day at some point wouldn’t you ask people to stop posting piles of feces?

You would not be stopping for those that don’t know, you’d be stopping for those that do.

Cheers!

Snoring is probably an overall detrimental trait, given that it’s primarily due to our our upright anatomical changes since it comes with poorer breathing - it’s just not been detrimental enough to outweigh the other benefits of our evolution though. Plus, our tendency as a communal species to stick together in groups likely outweighed any effect (positive or negative) in the “predators eating us in our sleep” category of natural selection.

I’m no expert, that’s just my hunch. But this is a good question IMO!

My second guess is just… Wow…

Dwarf Fortress.

And, I mean pre-steam release.

The ASCII graphics, controls and everything about it were not appealing to me. I started playing it because of the Boatmurdered story and some friends trying to recreate that. We started playing and rotating fortresses on a random Friday night.

And once things started to click? I put way too much time into it. I’d eventually mod it and make it easier to play but I put many many hours into it.

I wouldeventually put the game down after that initial burst and then years later the steam release came, making it much more enjoyable and well… A couple thousand hours later I still keep going back to it.

Oh shit, I was thinking in the same dimensions. My dumb! Yeah, aluminum is brilliant then!

Wow. You complained about a petty downvote, then responded with an insult and “I’m going to block you”. Incredible cognitive dissonance here. If a silent downvote was petty, what else could be more petty?

And just to drive home my point, I’m also going to block *you *after I post this!

Conversation is such a fucking waste of time in this place.

That’d make it too easy to lift off the counter though!

…because inventor Samuel Morse was american? Or is this a whoosh moment… I feel like I’m missing something…
