Really what TuEstUnePommeDeTerre did was help us with ours. "Do your homework" is the laziest phrase, I cannot express how much I hate it. Its a phrase of dismissal. If you have a kid that is struggling, you should HELP them with their homework, not just tell them to do it. I say this because I think it is emblematic of the intellectual laziness of the folks who use this phrase thinking of it as punctuation in their winning argument.
for real tho... love that story. RIP Harlan.

I'm not a programmer but I have at least one double booking every day. Some weeks look like a brick wall sideways (they seem to always overlap by a half hour for some reason).
If y'all have worked with silicone oil, yea it works kinda like this (depending on viscosity).
It creeps up out of containers, it creeps up walls. It gets everywhere.
constraining a CAD model and communicating tolerances like datum, or runout vs cylindricity are very different things.
A Solid Model (CAD) file (while very useful) doesn't contain all the information you need to convey what a good part is. There are an innumerable amount of things you want to convey to the manufacturer what you are looking for, from masking parts of a surface, to how parts need to be packaged, to which of the dimensions are the most important and how you should measure them (GDT etc).
There are services out there that you just upload a solidpart file and they give you a price. They are highly automated, cheap and quick. The parts are not high quality. Often their standard tool sets cant machine a feature. They communicate that and you have to make other arrangements, either alter your design, or plan on doing some post processing. I was actually supposed to place an order with one today, but had some problems with capability so I am altering the design to accommodate those limitations.
Its sad, but good machinists are a dying breed.
I knew a mormon family in southern California who made the whitest tacos Ive ever had. Flour Tortillas (not even heated up), unseasoned ground beef, spring mix, and Catalina dressing instead of taco-sauce. Rough.
LA area has some amazing Mexican food, its where I learned the term guisado. I don't understand some people.

Its not like I was going to take political advice from someone with a tattoo on their forehead, but still... this is comically stupid.

I had the switched on Bach cassette when I was a kid. I thought it was cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn0HAWX1TSA&list=PLLICd7vQi7iGUyErozBAwgcr4F49kxiXY
Heinlein also wrote Stranger in a Strange Land which is about a bunch of hippies living together in a commune fighting against an oppressive state and wining.
I think calling Starship Troopers "fascist source material" is a bit reductive. Heinlein was exploring some ideas, not trying to make an argument for ideals. He had some issues, definitely, but just pointing to it and saying 'fascist!' ignores a TON of context.
Im in CA and we have a skeleton house as well. I see it every day on my commute (its on one of the three roads you have to travel to get into the town). Its fun to se how creative they get with the costumes. Still dressed up for pride month last I drove by.
that would make someone a real bastard....
I have to admit, even while finding the crooked corners of the internet with rotten and CJ, I did hold onto the belief that access to information was going to lift the masses up out of ignorance. I knew about flamewars since the BBS days. I knew about trolls since rm -rf advice was given. I, in my naivete, seriously underestimated the effects of these phenomenon on society writ large.
its really not. they would have also had to sunk in the door to make the molding the same thickness. its more work, but not that hard with a hollow door. Probably less work than what they would have had to do to the top of the door that actually functions
