This is my take too. Bad situation, and stressful middle part, but reasonably good resolution. How you and your daughter move forward is a good way to refocus your pent up frustration.

I hope the vent helped! It sounds like part of what’s bothering you is that you expected better. That’s reasonable, but I hope you regain some confidence in her school and the teachers. The apology from the teacher is direct, takes responsibility, and restores the grade. That’s pretty good!

They can’t undo the stress from the miscommunication, and they can’t promise it won’t happen again, but the systems for catching these kinds of mistakes seemed to have worked. That’s pretty good too!

(For context only, I’ll add that I have two kids who did online public school during the worst of the pandemic, and are back in person now. We’ve had problems similar to this one in every format, almost every year. So, that doesn’t change anything that you experienced, but I have some idea of how bad it feels, and what it takes to move on. You can do it!!)

No, you’re supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.

A YEAR ago?? Was there a second one!?

I thought it was over, and then it just kept going hornier and hornier

Thanks; that worked! I was a little worried about the extra steps for my Nvidia card, but it was fine. Cosmic seems cool so far.

This is the comment that best explains it for me. I started with vim for comfort (less movement to mouse, and less reliance on modifier keys). The editing grammar is something I didn’t really understand until I started gradually using it, but now it’s the thing I most appreciate. I don’t know if I’m necessarily faster in vim, but my work is more fluid. The editing doesn’t interrupt my thinking as much.

Loves Ukraine though.

Freecad +1

WAIT !

I think each person has to recognize that there is a time/energy cost to get out of enshittification hell, and then decide how much they’re willing to pay. If the answer for you is at least “an afternoon of video tutorials”, then Freecad will be fine for you. It’s a complicated tool that you need some help learning; that’s ok. It won’t become your new hobby.

If you don’t want to pay that cost, that’s understandable. If you feel mad that there is a cost at all, that’s ok too. That’s how enshittification works, and it sucks. As I said, each person will have to decide whether and how much they’re willing to pay to get out of it.

Anyway, the MangoJelly tutorials in YouTube are really excellent, and will have you up and running in a few hours at most. (My CAD needs are also very basic, and I was done after the first two parts, 30 min each.) For following along, I would recommend just using the main version, so that it matches his tutorial exactly, and do the steps as he shows you. It feels dumb, but it’s such a fast way to learn. You can decide later if you want to switch to one of the other branches, depending on what features you care about or what annoys you most.

Here’s one of his later videos about tracing from a photo, but I haven’t watched it:

You can do it!

The pineapple is already digesting the pizza. Win win.

I had the same realization. I spent 3-4 hours fiddling with different settings, with no impact, and then 1 hour drying did the trick!!

Great work. Some of these fixes read like dwarf fortress bugs!

The meme leaves out the very important detail that most of the researchers working “for free” in the first panel are definitely getting paid, and usually by public funding (public universities and/or grants from taxpayer-funded institutions like NIH, NSF, etc.). That’s a big part of what makes it a scam.

Same, but we knew it was going to be about tortillas didn’t we.

Marcel, the Shell with Shoes on: the wacky shit he says in the opening interview, and the completely straight way it’s handled, made me realize this was just something completely different from the simple kids movie I was expecting.

Wow, same here. Upvote just for explaining how to turn that dang grid off!!

This was fantastic! If you haven’t seen it already, I think you might enjoy Jenny Nicholson’s introduction to the Church Play Cinematic Universe: https://youtu.be/ZK4gM7RC1M0?si=pjoHwez2JKdYHWUp

Thanks; it’s an ongoing thing, and something I was aware of before. I was caught off guard more by how they were processing it, not really by the basic facts. But, we’re good. Hanging together.

This is looking great!! One line is ambiguous: “From here, we can work towards an eventual 24.04 release over the summer.”

Does this mean work, over the summer, toward an eventual release OR work toward a release that will take place over the summer?! Either way is exciting, but one of those versions is astonishing.
