I saw somewhere there exists a saying along the lines of 'start sauteing onion, add some garlic, then you figure out what you are going to cook.' When my wife and I have time to actually cook, this is basically what we do. everything is better with garlic and onions, from German to Korean. The rest is just details.

what is the mass arbitration lawsuit about? Is it, as dual_sport_dork's article suggests, an antitrust lawsuit? If that is the case... I'd rather claw back the ability to sue directly (small claims, yay!). If valve is accused of something else Id love to hear about it.

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.

Lol

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.

holy crap! this is great news!

I really gotta work on learning the workflows. I am so used to Solidworks at this point I have a hard time thinking of a different way of doing things.
