The people who killed her were following it.’

And remember Anne Frank wasn’t living in Nazi Germany or Hitler’s homeland of Austria. She was living in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Fascism not only turns law and order on its head…it spreads beyond borders.

This is Apis dorsata the giant honeybee. (People do get honey from them, but it's ... lets say it's nontrivial) I think they might be on their annual migration? This is a bivouac... something normally more associated with army ants.

The bees cluster like this as a show of force, like an army marching in review or a big protest. The message is "we're all together, coordinated and we'll mess you up if you mess with us."

They also cluster like this on their comb.

Apparently they can still be knocked into a bag or box like smaller honeybees, which I didn't know but I just found a video of a guy collecting a colony from a suburban tree and taking it back to the jungle.



Ivan recommends a good stretch.

Yes, this was flirting to be petted, too. Where "petted" means "bring you hand close enough to bite."

In the morning I use this and chug a Five Hour Energy. It's a beautiful combination. Unfortunately, I later suffer for three miserable hours of adequate cream but no energy.

Trying #FreeCAD 1.0: it can open my keyboard project that I've designed in the realthunder/Link fork! With broken references and —at first— some weird broken origins, but they're fine after unhiding them and resaving the file (what was that even?)

upd: wow a looooot of references are screwed actually

After porting over the keyboard case project… I can say there's still a looot of improvements still missing in mainline #FreeCAD compared to Link. At least:

  • Automated creation/management of ShapeBinders;
  • Sketcher actually showing current sketch elements always on top, lol;
  • intersection as a PartDesign operation (without going through a separate solid);
  • actually usable clipping plane view (section hatch, manipulator widget).
in reply to Val Packett 🧉

It’s interesting seeing what different people’s quibbles are with main branch vs Link. I was a Link user until 1.0, because it felt more like most other modern CAD. I’ll admit that referencing external geometry directly in a sketch is something I miss in v1.0, but I’ve found shapebinders to be a decent go-between. Things will keep improving as development continues. I write macros to add specific features that I want, but others may or may not.

The print failed when the USB stick got knocked loose when I opened the enclosure to add more resin, annoyingly . But I can at least test the basic idea, and get a sense for how this will work with the pantograph mill.
in reply to rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua

@GustavinoBevilacqua I need to find/make some attachments before I can do that. Right now the only stylus mount is firmly connected to the main crossbar of the pantograph, so it can only do 1:1. Making one that connects to the arm instead wouldn't be too hard, except the stylus wouldn't be kept perpendicular to the table the easy way. So I'm going to think about it more while learning the basic 1:1 operation.

humans purposefully fatten up goose livers because it allegedly makes them more delicious.

So one must ask, who benefits from fattening up human livers?

It's the orcas and their culinary agenda.

Why is it that I can't do a search for words on Post? Only hashtag search works.

Is this a limitation on the server I'm on?

Yup, it looks like datasci.social doesn't have "elasticsearch" installed. This is required for the more advanced search options.

It costs extra for servers to run elasticsearch, so you may want to ask your server admin if they need additional donations to cover the extra cost.
