this housing doesn't feel quite right any more; time to molt.

moving to @diode; see ya there.

@alexlaw that looks marvelous!

@technomancy become arbitrary and capricious when it's inconsequential?

@gamehawk a few of my colleagues were working on exotic engineering software circa 1990 and managed to roll a pair of CAD workstations down an escalator at a trade show. (of course, industrial systems designed in the 80s, they got slightly dented but booted up straightaway)

@vantablack these twits are not worthy to cause you a single milligram of pain, no matter how horrifically, radioactively wrong they are

@djsundog i am following along

@erinbee oh that's lovely

@cypnk fond of this one, too: https://www.thirtythreeforty.net/posts/2019/12/my-business-card-runs-linux/

@wohali hi! it is good to see you.

@sungo
god. that's you-had-one-job territory.

@ky0ko
a little demo part:

@ky0ko i use a combo of LibreCAD and OpenSCAD and like it a lot.

i've run SolidWorks professionally and have spent a little time with Inventor, too. the 2D-sketch-as-profile-of-3D-solid workflow makes sense to me.

so rather than trying to code everything in OpenSCAD, i do the 2D shapes in LibreCAD, then import their DXF layers into OpenSCAD functions. it's surprisingly non-painful to flip between them when I'm fiddling with a design.

LibreCAD is weird but pretty consistent.

@sungo many thanks!

@sungo have you built a mask that you're happy with?

@joshmillard mad scylls

does anyone make breadboards that aren't adhesive-backed?
