Why can't we switch to thorium and molten salt instead? Much cleaner, much safer, same idea.

And on Android?

Pay wall 🖕

Not everything: if I buy your domain after it expires, I certainly cannot read your email!

Make the fuckers 2mm thicker, gain 10 hours battery life. 5mm more, two days life. Bam. Solved.

brittle... ness-ity?

I love you!

Hey, don't diss Fisher Price toys. The old ones from 40+ years ago were solid. So much so that the iconic telephone on wheels and with eyes is still around.

Modern day crap though? Oh I'm with you!

No, that's what a rake does.

"Not available in your country" - am not surprised.

I was not aware Google Meet even still exists. Haven't heard a peep about it in ages. Everyone uses MS Teams at work, and shitty whatsapp at home.

You're not crazy.

Think of Alfred Nobel: inventor of dynamite and exasperated that it was used for evil, not just for good. Founded the Nobel Peace Prize to make amends.

Yes, Waze is amazing! Works really hard well, especially when there's unusual traffic. Love it.

I'm with you, and we can make quite cool things in TinkerCad. To translate my question to your shape: if you decide to have larger rotors, or longer arms, you would have to fiddle with groups for a very long time, right? In comparison, with e.g. FreeCad and a shitload of parameters, that would be quick (but you'd need to spend a lot of time defining all those parameters... but only once, though).

Lofts and sweeps and pockets FTW! That does look like the right solution for single objects.

What about objects that sit at an angle relative to each other? Can you define workplanes (sketches) at arbitrary angles? Can you later slide those planes up/down, e.g. to add more distance from the face it would sit on? For instance, in the above object, the holders on the blue face are tilted 14 degrees from the blue base, and the little red holder in front is tilted an additional 5 degrees and lifted 6mm from the front of the larger red holder.

Yes, tapered in all directions at once. For instance one of the walkies has a rectangular base and an almost straight-up backside, but the front tapers outward. At the same time, the sides taper too, but different angle and height than the front. There are almost no right angles on these shapes anywhere, which is tedious to model.

I've looked at OpenSCAD but it's honestly too much coding for me. TinkerCad is so rewarding because it's fast and easy to get nearly to the finish line -- but I know that any kind of parametric is a win in the long run, because changing one constraint makes everything else auto-adjust rather than having to take apart and build again.

Oh you :-)

Are these made up names? Never heard of them. Must be an American thing?

I'm in Europe and I have never in my life seen a gas station that dispenses every fuel through just one hose.

Every fuel has its own hose and "pistol". Each "pump" has two or three or four hoses.
