asterfield, 6 months ago to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

After watching the video, I thought it was pretty solid. Only 1 of the 4 was mostly bad, the rest just had sharp edges that the viewer needed to be comfortable with before launching in.

I’m not saying Linus isn’t guilty of clickbait and junk content to some degree, but this one felt good to me :)

Negative information is still information. Knowing something isn’t worth the time/money can still be helpful.

Disclaimer: didn’t watch the video in question

I can do notions, hunches, and my old shoes. Final offer

I don’t have anything important to say, what do you want from me? :P

Does the speed limit count if you’re walking?

I’m disappointed with the way they’re puppeting the corpse of my favorite show.

The writers lost track of the characters’ personalities. It’s not character growth, it’s wild left turns

Sometimes it works though

asterfield, 10 months ago to 3dprinting in editing, remixing, combining files

I had some luck with this yesterday.

Attempt #1 was editing in blender, and it took 3h to get the file to slice correctly (I needed to remesh in blender sculpting tools to get the overlapping shapes to work).

Attempt #2 was importing the STL in openscad and doing a union() of the two objects. That worked perfectly the first time and took 20min. (But it was way more annoying to pick exactly the right number to translate all the shapes around)

For a fair comparison I’m assuming that most people will speed on the highway

asterfield, 10 months ago to canada in How Canada got stuck building low-speed rail | CBC Creator Network

I agree with you mostly.

But I’ll point out that 200km/h is still ~50% higher than highway speeds, with no traffic, and you can still focus on other things. So even low end rail is still better than driving.

I’m not even sure I mind low speed rail. I just want more and cheaper lines to everywhere. It’s way nicer than busses.

High speed can come afterwards if we can get public thinking behind trains as regular transport

I really enjoyed reading this, in a grim sad kind of way. It’s a fascinating peek into the living conditions of a different era.

I don’t know how to explain why I like Hemingway. His work just feels hyper true in a way. Him and Steinbeck both stay with me for a while after I put the book down.
