Unfortunately it’s true, whether you like it or not. The amount of times one random radical asshat saying something outrageous turns into a major outlet “people-are-saying” news article is infuriating.

kW is a unit of instantaneous power; kW/s makes no sense. Note how multiplying that by seconds would cancel time out and return you power again instead of energy. You got there in the end, though.

I also prefer to move the camera, which a mouse is more intuitive for. A 3d mouse is like holding/rotating the object. A middle mouse button is so freaking simple and fast I just don’t understand the problem. Moving the view around is like 2% of my workflow.

And scroll up has to be zoom in. The fact that many defaults are the opposite is literally insane.

Because solidworks is the gold standard in the space and is intuitive for millennials that grew up on computers. It mirrors other software that came before in terms of super basic stuff like how to draw a damn line. If you’re going to do a big swing and change the paradigm with a fundamentally better way, it better be really good for a really good reason.

All the others you listed are very similar to solidworks and no problem. FreeCAD decided sketching should be completely different. I can barely even draw a line and I don’t understand how that’s possible.

I’ve tried it for a few hours, but basic stuff seems incredibly needlessly difficult. After thousands of hours in Solidworks it’s just too painful.

And she has been doing a lot more of this click baity “science bad” shit because they get 10x the views of her actual science content.

In many regions solar capacity factor is much higher than 20%; for example, the entire US. https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2021/utility-scale_pv

Mmmm, tastes like supply chain optimization.

I’m kind of a fan of government doing the right thing regardless of the (high) chance of someone else coming in and shitting all over it.

Of course most don’t actually even believe it, that’s just the pitch to get that VC juice. It’s basically fraud all the way down.

The ONLY thing I know for certain after this clusterfuck is that Biden would have lost by even more.

Yet still VASTLY cheaper than Grainger.

Yup, if we learn anything we will definitely have forgotten it in four years.

Solar panels are incredibly thin and light. There is no reason not to include them.

Nobody gives a flying fuck about campaign finance laws with this supreme court.

My theory is that men evolved much higher grip strength due to incessant masturbation.
