I think everyone’s got the CAD/3D programs covered, so a slightly “out there” answer:

If you’re just doing 2D blueprints for yourself, do you actually just need a 2D vector program for doing a scale drawing with measurements?

I’ve done a lot of floorplans / layouts/ site maps etc using Inkscape, for instance.

It depends on exactly what you’re wanting out the other end - so you may be lacking a lot of the features in a full CAD program, but the learning curve is comparatively so shallow that you might have a working plan by the end of the day, rather than the end of the month.

These three are brothers from the same litter, and they’re best mates 90% of the time, thankfully :)

That’s very impressive. My personal best was 3:

Sorry I wasn’t clear about that - my replaced ones have never come off again - it’s the original ones on the shirt which tend to.

[Edit] Note that I am always wearing a shirt, and much of my work is manual/technical, so mine perhaps get knocked off a bit more frequently than others might.

Yeah, it totally makes sense for some uses.

That is significantly more complicated than how I was taught to sew in a button. Is this just for big metal buttons on jeans or something? It seems massively over the top for normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Roughly what I was taught (for a 4 hole button, in a “cross” shape):

1. Shove threaded needle through material into hole in button
2. Go across diagonally and go down through the opposite hole and through the material
3. Under the material, go across sideways a bit and come up in a different hole
4. Repeat 1-3 a bunch of times until it feels strong enough.
5. Tie off the thread and cut off the excess.

You say “best”, “highest performing” etc, but we asked a panel of immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders who their ideal upper management employee was - and they unanimously suggested other immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders, and suggested that employing anyone else is a DEI hire.

That “Mar-a-Lago” sounds strangely familiar. I wonder where I’ve heard that before?

Wait… dbzer0 is “divide by zero”?

I’ve been reading it as “dibzer nought”

Nothing if the legislation was written properly.

Not good if the legislation was written badly.

Also available on Kobo (Canadian Company) as an e-book. It does contain Adobe DRM though, so you would need to remove that with Calibre if you want to keep it on other devices.

The original long-winded quote is from GK Chesterton, but the shorter, neater quotable one is from Terry Pratchett, or more recently Neil Gaiman.

Please just give us physical mouse buttons as an option.

This is good, solid, scientific advice - however, you no longer have to destroy it - I can sell you these small magnets to wrap round the cables, which will attract and then trap any escaped nanobots. They will get clogged up quite quickly though, so you need to replace them every month - but don’t worry, we’ve got an easy and convenient subscription for them. Normal magnets won’t work, by the way - you need the special ones we make.

No, they hide all the ai inside the actual key itself.

If you prise up the edge of the key and look under it, you’ll see all the ai nanobots hidden under there.

AI nanobots look a bit like crumbs, fluff and dust - so if you can see any of those under your AI key, you know the AI is still there.

“TURBO”

I use the “control nipple” occasionally, but I use the physical mouse buttons every day always.

Even though they’re slightly oddly positioned to use with the touchpad, they’re a million times better than not having any buttons at all.

If there’s any form of argument or debate, everyone cares about the correct spelling and grammar of their opponents.

What a lovely, fun little game! Thanks for sharing :)

When adults said things like “In this day and age, nobody says please and thankyou any more”, I misinterpreted “this day and age” as “The Stayan Age”, which was our current age, which obviously followed on from Bronze Age, Iron Age etc.
