  • This person seems to think that CSI Miami pioneered the format. So of course it easy to find examples of them being wrong. CSI Miami wasn’t even the first CSI. So I am sure they can’t remember that premium cable channels that don’t have commercials exist. Let alone that public broadcasting doesn’t have commercials.

  • They just trained their employees using other people’s copyrighted works. What’s the problem?

  • According to a random Reddit comment it was down for maintenance, but that comment was made 20+ days ago. Odd there is no mention of it being down on the main page or anything especially because all of the links on the main page point to forum posts.

  • CAD software is made for situations like this.

    Say you design a bench like they show in their example, that bench has defined dimensions length, height, depth as an example.

    Then other dimensions would be considered constants, say for instance the size and spacing of the boards (slates) that are used for the seat of the bench.

    These dimensions and their relationships are saved in the CAD design file.

    So say for instance later on we want to make another bench with the depth of the bench increased and we want to keep the spacing of the boards consistent and assume we are going to keep the boards the same size. Well we will need to increase the number of boards that are needed for the seat.

    But since we set that information up in the original design we can just change the depth dimension and the design will automatically update along with all of the linked components and design files.

    Hopefully this makes sense. I will try and answer questions if it’s not clear.

  • Things like this I am always like wow that’s neat. Then I look at it more and I am like so did they not know that parametric CAD already exists. This could have been made in freeCAD for instance. Or if they still wanted the “programming” aesthetic it could have been done in openSCAD.

    Then at least it can be saved and distributed in common CAD formats. And then the final design can generate the BOM and the 2d drawings.

  • Not specific to digital art but the “draw a box” series of videos are helpful and as far as I am aware these are all free on their site or YouTube.

    Proko has some good content as well I believe they even offer some series that are around digital art. A lot of their content is free on their site but they also offer paid content. I have paid for some of the content but honestly I feel they have plenty of free content that maybe I shouldn’t have paid for it as it’s a bit advanced for my skill set.

    These both offer some good information aimed at the foundations of drawing. Such as form and perspective that you need to understand no matter what media/tools you end up using.

    Hopefully that’s helpful I am interested in seeing some other people’s suggestions as well.

  • This Slurm can. Garbage. These papers. Garbage. This picture of your wife… Pure Garbage!

  • I guess it depends on the exact moment and your view on urban myths…

  • Well Grampa Simpson more then likely didn’t need social security because of the pension he received after working 30yrs as a night watchmen at the cranberry silo.

    according to this survey: in 2023 only 64% of retired people age 65+ received any income from pensions. I can’t he but think that number is probably inflated as they note “Sources of income include the income of a spouse or partner.”

  • In case anyone was scrolling by and is interested the quote is a bit misleading out of context, Marx isn’t saying we should do this, he is more saying that capitalism requires “us” to do this, while telling us if we just stop eating avocado toast we too could become part of the billionaire class. While of course they themselves would never live without these supposed needless things.

    Read it in context here Need, Production and Division of Labor, this link is directly to the section the quote is from but in my opinion the formatting isn't as good.

  • Well the republicans take over, you will have to pay for all weather data. These apps are just ahead of their time.

  • It depends on how fancy of a website you are trying to make. But check out something like Hugo or Jekyll. I haven’t used Jekyll personally but have used Hugo. There are plenty of templates to get you started depending the type of content you are planning on putting up.

    And the best part is you can host the site for free on GitHub or Gitlab, so the domain name is the only cost.

  • Schools will be closed through the end of the week, the superintendent said.

    Only in America can 2 of your teachers and 2 of your classmates be shot dead. And they are like we are only giving you 2 days off while we clean this up, but hey we will be ready to go Monday.

    I guess along with those active shooter drills they also got an active shooter cleanup plan.

  • LPT: you can save money by purchasing a regular t-shirt and cutting the hole yourself.

  • We all had commercials in our dreams but you don’t see us running off to buy brand name merchandise at low low prices.

  • The MPC is a standalone unit. It is a DAW so you don’t need a PC. You can make an entire song on it without ever needing a pc or external editing software, you can connect instruments mics right to it. It’s basically a portable studio.

    You can even download updates, instruments, sample kits right on the unit.

    It is annoying tho since they started adding features to the PC version of the software that aren’t available in the standalone versions. But you get access to them if you own the hardware.

  • Cmdchallenge is similar to Linux survival. But is mostly command line basics like moving around directories, searching, etc. It also gives a list of solutions that people have used for each exercise, which is interesting just to see different ways of doing things.
