  • Yeah I actually do that at my current job. WFH the first hour or so, leave after traffic is down, work from the office until 2ish and leave before afternoon traffic starts up, then wrap things up at home while I prep to workout. That flexibility is one of the only reasons I'm not looking to move unless there's a huge raise in it for me. The job sucks otherwise.

  • My understanding is fusion360 only does some things in the cloud. It still runs locally. Otherwise they could have a web app I could use on my Linux desktop and not worry about it. I was using them side by side on two separate workstations (the one with FreeCAD actually has higher specs) and I wasn't really trying to compare performance but when it's that glaring of a difference it can't just come down to hardware and like I said it wasn't just "slower" it was completely unusuable. I tried FreeCAD on the system I use Fusion360 on as well with similar results to everything else I've tried it on.

  • What are you running FreeCAD on? I have tried it on 4-5 different systems and it has ran like shit on all of them. Like I don't expect it to be perfect but it took 30-90 seconds to even respond when I try to do something. That's completely unusable. I finished an entire (fairly simple) design I was working on in Fusion360 before I could even get 2 rectangles sketched out in FreeCad. I'd love to get it working because it's one of my bigger hangups getting rid of windows.

  • My dad would tell the cat we had when I was young that "

    <my name>

    is home" when I drove past the front window into the driveway and he'd take off to go wait for me at the door. He didn't do that for anyone else. I miss that cat.

  • Cooking. IDK why but everyone assumes I don't know how to cook. I must fit a stereotype or something. The last time I lived alone I cooked (or had leftovers of something I cooked) every night for like 8 months. I tell people that and they are always surprised. It's a big reason I hate living with roommates because the kitchen situation is so chaotic I can't really do that anymore.

  • Maybe not a full blown slum but definitely slum adjacent up until we moved when I was in grade school. I don't remember ever going without anything at home but my surroundings were pretty awful. I had my shoes stolen multiple times while I was riding the bus and would get chased home by older kids wanting to take my backpack and stuff or just beat me up. I remember me and the girl in my class who lived next door rushing to try and get there first every day so we could sit near the front and hopefully get off fast and get away to not get fucked with. Crime in the area was also really bad and there were a lot of break ins. The worst thing I remember was a lady up the street from us had a couple guys break into her home and they raped her in front of her kids. I think living in that environment fucked me up a little bit because I had all kinds of social issues at the new school after we moved. My brother was younger and never had to deal with any of that stuff and he turned out pretty normal.

  • I had a GF try to cheat with a friend of mine once ( he declined her advances and showed me the texts). I was like, buddy, you might as well have took her up on it. I'm done with her either way. It's on the person in the relationship to not cheat. Obviously if my friend had been harassing her it would have been a different story but she was fully open to him fucking her.

  • If you call me with a request to do work or give me important information, I will tell you to text or email that to me.

    Same I end every meeting where someone asks me to do something with a request for them to email me spelling it out. I don't care if we covered all the ins and outs verbally and I already made notes, I want a paper trail of their expectations. The intention really being to train them that meeting first is a waste of time and they should just email me in the first place. If I don't understand what you want I'll set up a call.

  • I used to manage a team of people who were all remote except one and myself. It's not hard. You set expectations and they either meet them or they don't and you address those issues. I do think some of them struggled due to working from home creating a "barrier" to asking for help when you don't know your coworkers as well, but I did everything I could think of to reduce that so they'd feel comfortable reaching out via teams (creating group chats, designating "helpers", etc) or even coming into the office if they chose but there were very mixed results and in general things were worse than when we were primarily working from the office. I don't think the problem is working from home, it was communication skills and some people just lacking the discipline to not goof off when they are at home (I'm one of these, I need an office environment to focus). That is a case by case thing though that needs to be addressed with the individual.
