I think the emphasis on the "planet" is that in their usual over-ambition, Hello Games announced that they'll be simulating a full-scale planet. It then got through the media's broken telephone.
I mean, after refreshing a bunch of times because the "website is updating", you'll get there. I tried using a family member's European postal code and it worked, but I think it's only because it's identical to an US one. My Canadian zip code just immediately turned the field red.
I think a portion of the prize has to go to Loto-Quebec too, or something of the sort. I remember it looked quite complicated (so I don't feel like delving into it again 😅)
I was under the impression that AliExpress just allows Taobao sellers to make (different) listings for the international market. You certainly don't get the variety of stuff offered on Taobao.
The article mentions Douyin, which is the domestic version of Tiktok (so no), and Pinduoduo which I don't know much about.
Good to know! I just saw a post somewhere around here recently by someone who had troubles on Linux, which is what I based this off of (a little hastily).
That is a weird take. File format is completely irrelevant here. 3D printers usually only accept G-code files, or something similar, which is unrelated to the file format used for the model. You can also easily convert pretty much anything to something your slicer will accept.
If you're new to 3d printing, I would avoid Blender. It's too easy to create non-manifold and non-watertight objects with it.
In your example, the walls aren't just thin, they have no thickness whatsoever and would not even appear in your slicer.
I would recommend trying Fusion 360 if you're not on Linux, openSCAD if you have a basic understanding of coding, or even TinkerCAD (web based) if you're not making anything too complex. Those are made to create physical objects.
Why base it on human body temperature at all though? That's only useful when you're trying to see if you have a fever, and even then that's a number that varies wildly between people.
Air temperature is what we most often measure and talk about, and it needs to be far below body temperature to be comfortable.
Your brain must still be a little tired, because why on earth would you think we would use Fahrenheit's 0 and 100 as a basis for anything in Celsius?
I could say the same thing backwards: 0 to 100 C is 32 to 212 F.
The only reason there aren't weird decimals there, is because Fahrenheit was later adjusted to have whole numbers at those same (water based) temperatures.
32 to 37.779? You just converted 0C to F (backwards) and 100F to Celsius...
0F is way lower than the temperature water freezes at (32F). Water freezes at 0C.
Comfortable temperatures are between 22C and 27C, let's say, which converts roughly to 72F to 80F. None of these are "more intuitive" than the other.
If I see ice, I know it's below 0C. If water boils in my pot, I know it reached a temperature close to 100C. Fahrenheit on the other hand is based on completely arbitrary points.
That's some weird logic there. Why 32 and 96? From what I remember, 100 was supposed to be human body temperature (but he had it wrong), and 0 was the coldest temperature he could achieve with brine.
