Hello, the feature tree renaming can be done with scripting macros in nearly every major CAD software (i.e. CATIA, Creo, Solidworks, Inventor).

AI in CAD are solutions searching for a problem... :/

Sure :)

Hard to not give a somewhat generic answer without the kind of ideas of things that need to be manufactured (and in which area).

Maybe try to find companies like Rtone (I'm not money related with them): https://rtone.fr/en/

Or go to fairs/shows for equivalent ideas of things, there is always those behind-the-scene workers around.

Honest intentions but hidden (private) knowledge.

Wishing you the best !

Nearly without joking: Karl Marx..

As you seem to want to acquire or manage the means of production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Means_of_production

Regarding synth strings, maybe Roland Integra-7 (and stuff like that) can do the trick.

Black Hole (Charles Burns)

But, yeah, comics == superhero (for me as well) cause the others examples are more "strips" first published in newspapers than comics.

Yes and Homer's Odysseus can be read as an allegory of PTSD. So pretty old.

Edit: The quote is followed by "Everything about this claim is still controversial(...)"

NTS does the job well for me:

There is no banking secrecy to Swiss residents. How the government would collect taxes ? It is not free of charge here.

And it also infected youtube and instagram.

those (chinese) companies largely exist thanks to their state barring competition from the outside

(...)the United States government will clamp down on them hard.

In the same sentence, nice one. :)

Good reference.

On my old nokia C3, there is a kind of App Store that is not working for a while as the servers are shutdown.

Everytime I "joke" that I live in the future of smartphones.

What is Twitter ?

In cities, there are many bus lanes to bypass traffic. And they circulate several times per hour, 6 or more.

Even if sometimes they are not punctual, the density saves you and you rarely think about it.

So true. Pork is forbidden for muslims for many centuries (an awesome kind of motivation) and yet people struggled to wear masks during the Covid19 pandemic while facing own potential death, maybe killing relatives or unknown consequences (at the time).

After the Irish Potato Famine that George Boole lived through, he worked on a paper named "Origin of Evil".

His conclusion was: Absolute evil does not exist and pain is an instrument of good.

I can't find it online, my source is the documentary "The Genius of George Boole" [1].

Kierkegaard's The Sickness unto Death [2] could be a related reading too. I remember that I enjoyed it in a fun way.

Also a dumb theory of mine is: suffering is the proof that you are still alive.

Yes, I believe or they met at the Warwick university.

The Ural mountains.

Just to add Creo and Siemens NX to your list of major CAD softwares.

There is a russian one also, but I don't know the status. Or if it is only a kernel like opencascade.

The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord.

I'm 35 and already experienced this mud (in Provence) caused by the Sirocco.

For a point of view of Baudrillard about matrix:

I keep wondering how many of the psychological problems arise from people having children much much later in their lives than used to be normal.

It's so cruel. Come on, it's way more complex than that... How about sterile people? Are they all mentally ill?

Sure, most watches have a tolerance of +4/-5 seconds by day (86400 seconds). It's about 58 ppm.

I don't know which precision a not electronically assisted telescope have, but it's sure it's impressive.

It's not possible to buy gears due to the "module" (I don't know how to translate it), it's a factor of scale that influence the spacing between gears.

The hardest parts are the springs (balance spring and mainspring) and the screws (there are so small, it's a specific norm, see NIHS for Normes de l'Industrie Horlogère Suisse). For the gear cutting, there is an example here [pdf link]: http://www.cowells.com/docs/cutter.pdf

There is a lot of custom machine tools, many of them are needed to resolve problems that an individual doesn't care. But there is always alternative ways and it's the fun and watchmaker's task to find them!

So there is not really indispensable tools as it depends a lot of the project. Expect if you want to make specific watch decorations, like perlage, guillochage, soleillage...

I can't find links but there is an operation named roulage where the guiding parts of the pinions are hardened, it's not indispensable if you don't want an industrial grade, kind of.

The simplest design is the roskopf movement.

True and clocks and watches are still the most precise mechanical tool/instrument.

It's a never ending thing!

You could start by sort of reverse engineering movements (disassemble and reassemble).

Start to build your own tooling.

Then make a copy of the bridges and baseplate.

Try to change the geometry of the bridges and baseplate, keeping the same moving parts.

Then build your own moving parts.

Start from massive clocks to "table clocks" to marine clocks to wristwatches movements.

And it could be very expensive, wood clocks are cheaper, less time consuming. There is great stuff and ideas online. For example, see the timer from Ugears there is mind-blowing tricks hidden in this model.

Before diving into wristwatch movements, a step by marine clocks could be interesting and fun too!

It depends of the quantity you need, but there is some that use stamping to make gears.

But you can also saw the profile manually.

Assembling is hard but doable, the hardest part is the adjustment!
