  • Sadly, the CAD software I have the most experience with is SolidWorks. It has its quirks, but I like it and I know my way around.
    Which is too bad, because it’s completely absolutely fucking stupidly expensive for any home use.

    Not to mention I’ve heard stories of people getting caugth through exported models’ metadata and getting sued for publishing models made with pirated or student versions or whatnot.
    I’m not even a business and whilr I have no moral qualms pirating software, I don’t exactly wanna deal with an actively hostile company either.

    I’ve switched to onshape for now, but I know enshittification will eventually butcher it too.
    There’s a few others I’ve tried that I either can’t get good at, or that simply lack functionality.

    I’ve been meaning to try Alibre CAD, but last I checked, their trial thing required back and forth with a rep and I just never bothered.

    I don’t even mind paying, yet not $5k yearly or some shit.
    If you ever find something, ping me.








  • allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

    When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.

    That’s when one of the men dressed in the vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn’t have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail.

    Emphasis mine. If that’s true, that could have become a mass shooting.
    Still sucks to be the innocent bystander though.
