Current 4 year old laptop with 128GB of ECC RAM is wonderful and is used all the time with simulations, LLMs, ML modelling, and the real heavy lifter, Google Chrome.
One of the countries I spend a lot of time, the police are amazing. There is no crime, so the police truly are just to assist. They don't carry weapons. They don't give out traffic tickets, it's all automated. They do give out directions, photo ops, perform ritual ceremonies, distribute free meals to anyone who wants one, give free workout sessions on the beach, give free sports training, lead free expeditions into nature, etc. It's a sense of community spirit that is their mission.
I'm sure there is a bad apple somewhere but every single one I've seen or interacted with has been pleasant to wonderful. I'm not even terrified to approach them as I am in the USA where I've almost been murdered twice by pigs.
I am almost absolute in that there aren't undecided voters. Especially today. Ok, maybe like 3 in the whole country that live in a literal cave like a hermit and only popout to vote, where they'll decide quickly.
It's all embarrassment. Just like you can't like McDonalds, you can't like your preferred candidate anywhere you exist. Whether that's being a red hatted MAGA on Fire Island, or a Bernie Bro working on an oil rig. If you say you're undecided, the other person attaches their bias. If you say you are for the wrong team, you can lose friends, family, and careers.
Biden has lost many people. Pretty much everytime he speaks or does something, he pisses off a little carve out of people. Tiktok ban. Genocide support. IRS audits. Pot rescheduling. Border issues. Economy.
Whatever it is, you're not gaining Trump supporters. Nobody that is diehard Trump is voting for Biden. Ever. But you are eroding little enclaves of support. And that's all it takes.
For example, his one word this week just cost him thousands of votes. Did the protests do anything to influence his Israeli policy? No. He just flat out said no. Not even an attempt at empathy or doing the usual politician dance that says nothing with a thousand words. Just flat out "no". And he just lost thousands of votes.
Seriously if you want Biden to win, "lock him up". Put him upstairs in the Whitehouse and don't let him out. No interviews, no appearances. No speeches. No policy. Just shut up and go away and hibernate. Kamala too.
You use a real CAD program. The free tools can get you pretty far and are great for basic stuff. But as you're learning, once it's not basic, it's not a problem for a free shitty tool to solve.
It becomes a problem for a very expensive shitty tool to solve, like Solidworks.
Designing those things that slide into each other and everything on non perpendicular planes is child's play in SolidWorks. The slide in feature assuming they are mates is basically 3 button clicks and 10 seconds. Bam, done. Weird angles and planes, super easy.
You pay dearly for such ease. But that's how it's done. If you can't afford a trial or a student copy or a used copy, then there are ways. But a SolidWorks DVD from 15 years ago will do everything you want it to. CAD doesn't change much. And if you don't need super fancy 3D photo realistic renderings and the ability to import PCBs and thermodynamic simulations, than a 15 year old almost free copy of a powerful tool will beat any modern free tool.
Exactly. People, all people, hate being labeled something they aren't. By calling everything that isn't 100% Pro-Israeli Genocide "Anti-Semitic", you get people who have positive to neutral feelings about Jews slowly get more and more angry with the term and actually cause the antisemitism.
There was a similar backlash in the US against gay/trans people. And black people. And everything. When you adopt a policy of 100% for or against, binary only, you leave your 99% ally behind along with your 0%-support enemy.
Or to make a headline that isn't Murican: Police murder schoolchild who hadn't committed any crime yet, and were too chicken shit to de-escalate the situation and save the child's life.
Last I checked, that kid had 2nd amendment rights to walk around strapped with as many guns as he wanted.
EVERYTHING you do in the USA is illegal. This is not hyperbole.
Any right you think you have is stripped by another law also on the books. You are always and forever in breach of the law. This allows you those with no education and power like police and DAs to pick and choose who and what to prosecute. If everyone is in breach, it doesn't make it legal. It just makes it a game of "don't piss off your oppressor". This is the same game used in North Korea. Same in the USSR. Same in many fascist nations with an illusion of democracy.
Oh but you are. It's at 0.8v to 1.2v range so it's high current.
This is what all the VRM design is for. The motherboards are generally 20-30 layers nowadays with 2oz copper in the power layers. The traces are short and you do get hundreds of amps.
In the age of Google and where even the homeless bum down by the river has a smart phone, Googling to find out about a major life choice is easy to do. Failure to help yourself do nothing but use a phone for 10 minutes deserves zero empathy.
If "ignorance isn't an excuse" doesn't get you out of any law you break, it also doesn't get you out of accidentally joining a terrorist organization due to propaganda.
Because that's exactly what it is.
It is no different than the teenagers that join ISIS. Propaganda takes them in, they join voluntarily, they live with their consequences for life.
Yeah keep reading. You're given one fake right and there are 100 other laws. Just because you're the right shade, telling a cop to F off, is a crime in itself even if they're completely wrong. Most people would be arrested just for that.
And that is the entire point. If "the law" is completely discretionary based on the encounter you have with the enforcers and the punishers (police, DA, judges, etc), then you have no rights. Step out of line and you're in prison.
It's waaaaaaay less than half. And it only gets to half because you "need" a police report for many insurance claims that are crime related. Robbery, injuries, vandalism, etc.
