  • If you want to use blender for this you should be able to use a boolean operation to combine the two bodies you import. Your computer should do the second step for you in any reasonable modeling software.

  • They know that they are still cheaper than any of the other commercial packages. SolidWorks' yearly maintenance (plus you have a higher upfront cost when you acquire it) is multiple times the F360 subscription per seat.

    They aren't interested in dealing with low value business, the only reason they even have a free version is to get potential future customers used to the software so they demand their employers buy it over their competitors. Same reason why Dassault Systemes gives SolidWorks to students for free.

  • I hope so too. Tribes Ascend was one of the few shooters I've enjoyed despite HiRez's best efforts otherwise. If they can put together a good game I'll be all over this. Few things in gaming are as sweet as the sound of a blue plate special.

  • Is there any pattern to the numbers they are coming from? For example, many of the calls i get spoof my area code and first 3 digits so I block those numbers automatically.

    I've also used an app called Mr. Number in the past to screen potential spam calls for me.

  • If the price was like $5 per month and it gave you no ads and 4K steaming it might be worth it. But at the current pricing it just isn't good value since YouTube doesn't produce content like other streaming services (and creators still have to rely on sponsorships for their livelihood regardless of whether the viewer is a premium subscriber) that justifies paying the higher prices for the service.

    Instead their attack on their customers rather than just making the service valuable enough to pay for makes me never want to give them a cent.

  • The one and only exception to this that I’ve experienced thus far was my attraction to my wife. It was an instant click. My first thought after meeting her was that I needed to get closer with her. It’s worth noting I didn’t actually know what she looked like yet (we met online) and barely knew anything about her personality besides she was funny and apparently had similar hobbies to me (though I didn’t know which hobbies, I’d just been told that.)

    Its funny how something so simple can make us have those feelings. I've had it from just hearing a woman laughing and thinking "I've got to get to know this girl".

  • Coffee often causes my stomach to be upset so I started drinking tea instead and found I quite like a lot of it. I usually drink an English breakfast or something strong that isn't too astringent or malty with the occasional jasmine or tie guan yin green tea in the afternoon.

  • I just got a Boox Page to replace an early generation Kindle Paperwhite. Being able to load up android apps makes it much more useful (I find it to be great for cooking from recipes I store in Paprika) plus more flexibility with the eReader app you use.

  • At the end of the day the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you need help be proactive in asking for it. I can say with my team that I don't have time to go around asking everyone if there are any issues, but I'll make time for anyone that needs assistance to ensure they are unblocked. I also don't want to micromanage people and annoy them when they are capable without my instruction.

    It is hard to know how much information you have to give someone to do a task. Something that may seem obvious to me will require 30 minutes of discussion for some people while others like to go away and figure it out but will reach out if they are unsure about something.

  • Product pricing actually has very little to do with what the actual product costs to make, other than to determine whether it is financially viable to produce.

    Rather, the aim of a seller is to maximize their profit by choosing the most efficient selling price for a specific demand. For a house, demand has greatly outstripped supply, and a buyer requires a place to live, so prices are high. Similarly, during the pandemic, the utility of computer parts was high and demand was high since many had to work from home, so prices went high.

    It certainly gets more complicated than my (ECON 101 level) explanation here, but companies have just been taking advantage of a high demand for things and for people's needs (e.g. housing and food) there is little to no pressure to reduce costs as demand is poorly correlated with price (inelastic).
