I thought I would knock some dust off my drafting skills after a small chat with @captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works

Seeing this image on the tutorial made me realize, FreeCAD seems to be a Technical Geometry Super-Suite. It makes sense that CAD would grow to include all of these things. But I thought sharing the initial perspective of some one who hasn't looked at this stuff in about 18 years might be interesting.

Granted I'm not actually familiar with most of this stuff, and none of it from the POV of FreeCAD. If this can deliver 10% of what I'm looking at, I'm in for a treat.

In the side panel, I use the suggestion of #75 simply because that was on knowledgefight.com. But honestly, so much has changed. That was before the TX & CT awards were found by the juries. That was before the default judgements. That was before Covid.

What episodes are good to start with for a more updated Zeitgeist? The ones that are too current, I feel Alex is a little too pathetic for anyone to care.

Have you been listening through the episode archives? Did you want say something about one from way back without sounding like Jim Gaffigan discussing Heat? Well here is the place.

I was hyping the podcast in a c/politics thread when someone asked for a link for a pizzagate debunking.

They made the interesting point that most debunkings are merely "there is no basement". I must confess. I find this argument pretty compelling, but are there any deep-dives into the conspiracy origins from KF. Due to what I confessed, I never really followed the details of this one. It seemed to morph into QAnon conspiracies rather seamlessly. It seemed to be all claims, no known damages.

What immediately came to mind is Episode #39 in which Dan does a deep-dive into Jack Posobiec and analyzes the Comet Ping Periscope video that Owen Shroyer reports about. (No, I didn't have the episode number off the dome.)

But that is more Jack Posobiec is full of shit because pizzagate is full of shit. I love this episode. But the periscope video is more about two infowariors' total inability to "act natural". But it's not really a pizzagate debunking, I suppose. Still comedy gold in my opinion.

I'm a turbo dude. It's like an alpha male, but women like me.

And yet they had purple onions. Curious.

Well, the setup worked for whichever side chimed in. Elon never stood a chance. The fact that she was describing multiple people is truely terrifying. But I guess that's her point.

Lol -- how's that working out for ya, Utah??

Kinda perfectly. The lawmakers don't want to block porn; they want their constituents to think they are effective. The people that don't go to pornhub hear it's blocked (well that's nice) and the ones that go, find a work around (some people like it being hard). They hope the work around is innocuous enough to be forgotten by election day.

I hope they miscalculated. I don't see how blocking porn and weed is a winning strategy. I don't understand this country. Life could be fun. We have all the ingredients.

He did not acknowledge the logical conclusion that everything he said about Biden being unfit should then in theory be applied to Trump. No, Trump just "fucked up".

If read the article critically, you would not accept such a lazy correction.

I like gifs that end with a twist.

Relevant xkcd alt-text 841.

For years, I took the wrong lesson from that Monster Cable experiment and only listened to my music through alligator-clipped coat hangers.

When Blackburn said again she wanted to talk, Cotton interjected, “Now I guess Sen. Durbin is not going to allow women to speak either. I thought that was sacrosanct in your party!”

Man, they thoroughly do not understand equality.

That's very narrow-minded. He committed atrocities in Cambodia too. Good riddance indeed.

I won't miss seeing his op-eds published during major conflicts like he was some kind of diplomatic guru. What a monster.

If you like the ideas of the Green Party, vote for them at the local level. The fact that they don't seem to want to govern at the local level is enough for me to ignore them as an option.

I think the correct response is "Wow. Has your mom seen it? Send her the link."
