I love openscad, but my programmer's mind still can't comprehend why the fuck they don't have the ability to assign group of points as an object. So it is quite the struggle. They really need to push it a bit more towards ide. The engine is great.

They decided to have a byzantine waterfall with absurd security policies that mean you are always waiting for someone else. Not me. It is not my job to educate the stupid while they pay me.

Absolutely not.

Does anyone else feel guilt over not working the full 8 hours in a laptop job?
I rarely work more than 2 hours. That includes Zoom meetings. I am in big corporate with amazingly terrible development process.

Trying to learn CAD software. I am fairly convinced that all of the people that were involved in the creation of those system hated humanity even more than the C++ guys. No other explanation.

If I was on the jury I would not buy his story either.
Also this is a small tidbit I pulled from the internet.
The Lancaster County Coroner’s Office identified the individuals to be Rivera and Morales-Torres and determined the cause of death to be gunshot wounds to the body and the manner to be homicide. Both victims were shot in the back.
That is one hell of a self defense.

This is exactly the guy Democrats need to be able to pull back the working class. So of course they are doing their best to take him down.

I am European and even in my eastern europe backwater the pro EU parts of the intellectual yet idiot class foam at the mouth at every mention of Trump.

Humiliation of the people that looked down on you for 10+ years is hardly 5d chess.
Couple of problems with that approach - there is additional reputational damage about EU being a good place for your money, especially when Germany and France's economies are going down the drain. Second - it is not clear that this will be enough money to turn the tide of the war. And there is not even certainty that there is even enough materiel on the market to be bought and gifted to Ukraine. No one is too keen on giving their latest toys to Ukraine, or even second to last gen - they know China has lots of advisers and they are taking notes. And there will be a problem if they are needed somewhere else and china has figured a way to make the wunderwaffes a lot less wunder will be a nasty surprise. The 4000 thousand tomahawks the US have will be worth a lot less if their efficacy suddenly becomes comparable to obsidian tomahawks.
And of course the big question - what happens when those money are over and there is no breakthrough?

There aren’t a lot of good solutions for Ukraine.
The only "realistic" solution for ukraine right now is Russia holds the territory (taking it back will be way too bloody), but forfeits the assets and pay additional hundred or two billion more over decades as reparations. Guess what - it is unacceptable for everyone.

Do you think that Trump's strategy in Ukraine is just him messing with EU leaders, because he knows how much hate and contempt they and their societies feel towards him (and showed it during 2016-2024) and he just enjoys their squeals? Dangling some help and resolution that will never materialize, especially since Europe is no longer of interest for USA.

Btw - why juries are allowed to dispense sentences in civil court, but not in criminal and vice versa. There is absolutely no logic that I can think of.

Women and men make different errors while driving. At some point after driving a lot you develop a knack for telling the sex of the driver when you witness some form of danger or stupidity on the road. Or while parking.
If it is reckless - it is usually a man. If it lacks situational awareness or control over the vehicle - chances are it is a woman.

So probably backtrace to 2008 then. The backlash against Obama definitely had some racial undertones
So young right are ironic antisemites and young left are unironic ones. This does not bode well for the jews and Israel. There has been way more howl for (and spilled) jewish blood from the left than the right since 2023.
Edit: A bit more - young people like the austrian painter for the same reason they like Tate. If you squish all the moderate versions of nationalism, patriotism and masculinity - the toxic ones will thrive.

Now I have to disagree with our vice president here, I don't think it is pearl clutching to oppose support of Hitler.
The guy has been dead for 80 years. Let it go. There are no Aryans enough left for Aaryan supremacy.
This is just a normal milquetoast man space group chat. The ones I participate in are way worse.
They should be fired for being so lame in being edgy and for terrible opsec. But morons will moron I guess.

Because Russia can only lose. This will give Trump reason to throw way more assistance to Ukraine, where as right now he does the bare minimum of support to shut down the critics. Also - they are not that competent to pull off such kind of thing traceless. If they are going to risk the wrath of Trump it is going to be for something big.

It is poorly worded rule. You are totally allowed to build consensus by convincing and persuading people. You are not allowed to assume already existing consensus on a topic. I am not sure that it is philosophical, but mostly practical. Posts that starts with - "We all agree that" usually are not very productive, not consistent and show that the poster has rarely faced any intellectual adversity and mostly has been in circlejerk places.

That being said I mean... are there ways to legislate outside of tariffs to prevent this sort of major sell off of strategic business to adversarial nations?
Couple of tools. Golden shares is one way. Second is tax code. If you only allow some parts of the money spent outside the US to be tax deductible - suddenly US labor doesn't look so bad. The government has lots of tools. What is usually lacking is the will.

Probably because being CEO is heads I win, tails you lose. There is no downside, no penalties, no risk and no repercussions for doing their job poorly. If we had a tradition of skinning the CEOs alive if the company was not doing well, I would be ok with their obscene pay.

You are doing something very wrong. Or you have bought sandpaper from the hardware store by mistake.
It seems I will do what is the most sensible thing - just pirate solidworx
