I must be in summer mode, I thought that looked like a lot of fun, when I thought it was a water slide. 
They do it indoors in dubai if you can’t decide whether you want a tan or visit penguins for your vacation. lol

F***ing global warming. 
Thought the same thing… but maybe because today is the youngest 7th birthday and she asked to go to the water slides.
I looked at a bunch of them on Amazon. Thought about the vivosun one even though it’s more money but I have bought a lot of seed starting supplies, heat mats and an air pump from them and was happy with all of it. Decided that it was just too lightweight for the winds we get in this area. I’ll wait until I get the saw mill working again and just cut up struts for a Paul Robinson geo-tunnel.
Yeah, i thought it might be too lightweight for you that is kind of why i Said look at reviews. It might be good enough to get started and reinforce or not worth it at all.
I would probably run it in a VM. You don’t lose a lot of speed IF you use kvm and then put the kvm guest drivers in the windows vm. what you mainly lose is the 3d graphics performance. if you install virt manager it is really simple.
I have been running Linux since ~95 when I installed slackware using floppy disks on a 386 computer, that I acquired over dial-up. The linux network stack was simply faster.
Sometimes i just need to relax in the garden.
I see you’ve got one of those self propelled lawn mowers. 
Yes, my lovely auto-mower (coffee powered)
Glad to see a nother soul fealing bad for those burning calories for such things 
You realy dont like duck eggs? They are my favourite. Boiled, the youk is huge and creamyer and flavourfull thain chickhen eggs. Sunny side up too.
Well, my personal opinion about bicycles is it’s a good transportation device when beer or alcohol consumption makes motor vehicle driving dangerous/illegal 
Or just for shorter trips.
About duck eggs i don’t like the stringy texture, or the slightly “fishy taste”, but it could be different from another duck breeds?
I’ve heard the eggs from musk ducks (translation?) should be pretty tasty?
I got one of those too, but with the floor sanding attachment. One coffee and it’s good for several hours.
I will go out on a limb because I haven’t had duck eggs since I was a kid and say the taste might be relative to what they are eating. The meat flavor is affected by what they ate. If they are eating swampy stuff like duckweed or algae, then it will taste fishy.
Learned a little FreeCAD today to make a part from a reference image. Needed a block-off plate.
As long as you know the dimensions and you have a good picture taken from a square angle it’s a good way to reverse engineer things.
Part is printing right now. Just filled in everything but the bolt holes.
Congrats! How did you like freecad?
It’s alright, I have no other frame of reference and I think that’s a good thing. Everyone that’s spoiled by the paid CAD programs say they dislike how the program is configured. It’s alright for me because I don’t have to unlearn anything.
Exactly. Its from geting from A to B.
Ok that makes sence. All we ever had were Muscovy ducs.
I’ve worked in several CAD packages over the years. I think you get hooked on the first one you use and then it’s a real pain to relearn how to do things. I started in 2D with DesignCAD back when it had a DOS interface. Shortly thereafter I had occasion to use AutoCAD and it was gibberish to me. Things definitely got better when Windows came along, but the 3D stuff is very different in various programs. I liked 3D in 3DStudio, Solidworks not so much and DesignCAD it’s horrible, although DesignCAD 2D is still my go to drafting program. Maybe I’ll try Freecad some day, but haven’t had the need to do 3D stuff in years. Maybe if I get a 3D printer… 
I just wondered if you had issues and struggled with it, or whether it was fairly straight forward.
Especially if you use the first one a lot. I had a hard time in the 2d world switching from FreeHand to Illustrator. And even when I am using FreeCAD, I am still find myself thinking about drawing it like I was in FreeHand, and I haven’t used that in 20 years.
It is also why I say bite the bullet and just start with FreeCAD rather then “an easier” program. The easier programs may get from point A to point b faster for something simple but don’t have the capability to get to point B for something more complicated, and then you are back unlearning what you know while trying to learn a new system.
