For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • Sadly, the CAD software I have the most experience with is SolidWorks. It has its quirks, but I like it and I know my way around.
    Which is too bad, because it’s completely absolutely fucking stupidly expensive for any home use.

    Not to mention I’ve heard stories of people getting caugth through exported models’ metadata and getting sued for publishing models made with pirated or student versions or whatnot.
    I’m not even a business and whilr I have no moral qualms pirating software, I don’t exactly wanna deal with an actively hostile company either.

    I’ve switched to onshape for now, but I know enshittification will eventually butcher it too.
    There’s a few others I’ve tried that I either can’t get good at, or that simply lack functionality.

    I’ve been meaning to try Alibre CAD, but last I checked, their trial thing required back and forth with a rep and I just never bothered.

    I don’t even mind paying, yet not $5k yearly or some shit.
    If you ever find something, ping me.


















  • IDK, maybe, I might be one of those guys and didn’t really notice before.
    I don’t believe I do this differently around women vs men.
    I’m often too busy in my own head to pay much attention. So, if your body language isn’t sketchy like drunk or overly aggressive, odds are I’ve zoned out and you didn’t register much.

    Anyway, I’m a generally silent walker.
    If I’m not paying attention, I might end up sneaking up on someone without meaning to, which can then startle them or spook them. Like, I spook my cat often enough and they’re the actual predators.

    But yea, late at night, I think I might subconsciously make myself known ahead of time just as a simple courtesy.
    I’d rather not find out whether anyone’s more of a fight/flight person when they finally notice me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Me? I’m the throat clearing guy. Hi. Ahem.

    PS: I have 20+ years experience of throat clearing. Yes I’ve seen doctors, they didn’t find anything other than yea we can see inflammation in your vocal chords, no there’s nothing we can do, just stop doing it. That or prescribe random shit that actually fucks up other basic bodily functions and create actual problems.

    Anyway, I’m sorry if it’s weird.
