Holy shit where do they find the dumbasses who write these columns?

I’m coming to the view that the Online Right is going wrong, eschewing compassion or charm, talking itself into corners of angry irrelevance.

Better late than never I suppose.

The transformation of a tangible ecological crisis into a culture-war abstraction can be pinned on the Left. They framed it as a divine chastisement; they wallowed in its penance, imposing arbitrary deadlines and contrary measures that, in an act of pure self-flagellation, took nuclear off the table.

Oh, so it's those darn woke LEFTIST LIBRULS who are actually to blame.

I stopped reading the column here so I couldn't tell you if it gets even stupider.

    Nothing really, they can eat it just fine. Bread is just poor in certain micronutrients that birds need, so if their diet is mostly bread (which is common for pond ducks) they can get a nutrient deficiency that may cause a condition called angel wing (the exact cause is apparently unknown).

    For just the top-down view I don't think you should have any trouble with just the regular sketcher with splines and/or arcs. Sounds like you're mostly having trouble measuring the part rather than actually sketching it?

    If top-down is the only plane you care about then you could try tracing the outline of the part on a sheet of paper and scanning that in using a normal document scanner, or even just scanning the part directly if it fits in the scanner. You can then bring that scan into FreeCAD and use it as a reference and it'll already be at the correct scale.

    For making the sketch, make sure you make use of the fact that the part is symmetric and you only have to sketch half of it.

    Can't say for sure based on a single top down view, but I imagine you want the Curves workbench from the addons manager.

    Here's a good tutorial video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czp8IPH72-I

    edit: Measuring a part like that will always be tricky though. For best results I imagine you'd want a high detail 3D scan or scale photos from various angles taken with a telecentric lens (or a high focal length lens from far away), so you could bring in some to-scale reference geometry to sketch against. Failing that you will probably just have to eyeball it.

    This is the third avenue of FIFA World Cup advertising I've had to block in Firefox for Android (two different home page ads and now this notification), and my patience is starting to run thin.

    Are there good mobile browser alternatives that support the same extension Firefox does (in my case, uBlock, SponsorBlock and Video Background Play Fix)?

    Also, and I imagine the answer to this is "no", do those alternatives support the sync features of Firefox? I actually use and quite like those.

     

    Rosatomin perutun voimalan tilalle kaavaillaan tällaista. Otsikko sai jotenkin katsomaan kahdesti (joka luultavasti oli Ilta-Pulun pyrkimys), mutta tietenkinhän tuossa vain tarkoitetaan amerikkalaisen yhtiön (Westinghousen) rakentamaa voimalaa.

    Ydinvoima on Suomessa toiminut tosi hyvin. Pääasiassa ydin- ja tuulivoiman ansiosta olemme nykyään 89-prosenttisesti hiilivapaita:

     

    Not sure how credible this is, but it seems more credible than that Finnish company's claims. This one comes from an established battery manufacturer and according to the article the cells have survived puncture tests etc. already.


    After achieving a breakthrough earlier this week, Greater Bay Technology said it aims to launch the world’s first mass-producible all-solid-state battery this year.

    China ramps up solid-state EV battery production

    Greater Bay Technology (GBT) is a battery manufacturer backed by China’s GAC Group. The battery startup focuses on developing ultra-fast charging and solid-state batteries.

    It even set the world record for the “fastest charging technology for electric vehicles” in 2024 with its Extreme Fast Charging (XFC) batteries, which recharged from 0% to 80% in just 7.5 minutes.

    On Monday, the company announced it had hit another major milestone, with its first A-sample all-solid-state battery cells rolling off the production line.

    The A-sample battery cells contain no liquid electrolyte and successfully passed needle penetration, extrusion, and thermal shock tests without a fire or explosion.

    GBT said the breakthrough enables all-solid-state EV batteries to move from the lab to industrialization as it aims to begin mass production in 2026. According to Chinese news outlet, NE-Time, GBT aims to launch the “world’s first mass-producible all-solid-state battery” with GWh-level mass production and in-vehicle use by 2026.

    The new tech overcomes the hurdles that have prevented all-solid-state batteries from hitting the mass market with a new organic-inorganic composite ESC all-solid-state electrolyte system.

    GBT’s battery tech has already been reviewed and is receiving support from China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

    With a single cell energy density of 260-500 Wh/kg, considerably higher than traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries, the cells enable a longer driving range, faster charging, and more interior space.

    The new tech enables stable 2-3C fast charging, which has been another major barrier for solid-state EV batteries. It also showed minimal cycle-life degradation during long-term, repeated charge-and-discharge cycles.

     

    Minua on aina ärsyttänyt lähes kesäajan vertaisesti se, että Suomessa seurataan EET-aikavyöhykettä Keski-Euroopan CET-vyöhykkeen sijaan. Läntisessä Suomessa, jossa valtaosa suomalaisista asuu, CET kun vastaa maantieteellistä sijaintiamme käytännössä yhtä hyvin, mutta olisi EU-yhteistyön kannalta paljon parempi. Toisaalta myöskään EET:stä ei meille ole mitään hyötyä nyt, kun Venäjän kanssa ei tulla pitkään aikaan tekemään yhteistyötä.

    Tutkimustiedon valossa vaikuttaa myös siltä, että on terveyden kannalta parempi elää aikavyöhykkeen keskikohdan itä- kuin länsipuolella. Tällöin kellot ovat hieman Aurinkoa jäljessä, joka helpottaa illalla nukahtamista ja aamulla heräämistä (eli vaikutus on päinvastainen kuin kesäajalla).

    Nyt kun kelloja taas käännettiin, innostuin tekemään aiheesta tällaisen ruohonjuuriaktivistisen tiedoteverkkosivun. Sivulla on karttoja, ytimekästä tietoa ja laskuri, joka näyttää eri kaupungeille paljonko kellon oikeasti niissä pitäisi olla.

     

    (0) Read the official Microsoft support guide, because otherwise you will never succeed.

    Note that the UIs in the following steps may be in a language that you do not speak, but the support guide will naturally refer to the English localization. If you need the localized names of the UI elements, the guide is available in multiple languages. Unfortunately this will change the language of the entire guide, which may make it difficult to understand the steps themselves.

    (1) Click on your profile circle in the top right and then click on this link.

    (2) On the new page that opens, click this button.

    (3) In the modal pop-up, click this unassuming one-word link in the bottom left.

    (The link translates to "You can add more profile information here.")

    (4) On the new page that opens, click on the ellipsis button to show the hidden items of the horizontal navigation.

    (5) Select "Language and region".

    (6) Add your preferred language using the drop-down box and move it to the top of the list using the little arrows.

    (7) IMPORTANT! Don't forget to scroll to the bottom and click on "Save all and close"!

    (8) Click "OK" on this pop-up.

    (9) You're done and will be navigated back to the page from step 2!

    Hope you didn't want to change any other settings here.

    Oh, and the page from step 2 will still be in the original language. Don't worry, the pop-up dialog assured us it will change soon. Word may also still be in the original language, but should change sooner than the page from step 2 (I am still waiting on that one).

    Tämä uuden UI:n viestieditori jokseenkin ärsyttävästi syö koneellani useita ctrl-pikanäppäimiä tekstiasettelua varten. Olen huomannut että esim. seuraavat tulevat syödyksi:

    • Ctrl-C tekee kursiivia
    • Ctrl-X tekee boldia
    • Ctrl-Shift-T luo linkin

    Käytän Dvorak-näppäimistöasettelua ja huomasin, että Ctrl-C sijainniltaan vastaisi QWERTY-näppäimistöllä Ctrl-i:tä (italics) ja Ctrl-X Ctrl-B:tä (bold). Eli ilmeisesti nämä on vaan määritelty näppäimistösijaintien mukaan eikä sen mukaan, mikä merkki näppäimessä on.

    En löytänyt mistään tapaa kytkeä näitä pois päältä. Olenko vain huono etsimään vai täytyykö asiasta mennä nillittämään editorin kehittäjälle? Mistä kehittäjä voisi löytyä?
