I never understood why this is such a deal breaker. I just export The stl from Openscad then do fillets in Fusion. It's another step but usually only a few mins of clicking.

I don't know I'm the same and find being in the valley more stressful than the drive to wembley from central London. More taxing mentally to have insane people passing you at 100mph. The licensing is harder but still was a one shot 5 hour prep thing for me.

I thought this meant JavaScript promises and was worried Promise.all() was turning into some meta database for badly architected applications :)

I remember religiously checking the hot deals forum then for insane dot com boom pricing choices (and errors). Fun times. A bunch of us moved to IRC but then Fatwallet sort of ruined things w their volume of users.

At least in the UK some enterprising soul has faikins on Amazon selling quite well. I got a couple just to stash if ever needed but for now daikins app is okay and works w home assistant. For now.

Yet I can't ever think of a Ryanair flight I've seen go out with a single spare seat. There are plenty enough people who don't mind abuse of the save a few cents. Good luck to them. Keeps them off my flights.

These jokes are so tiresome. It was cute two decades ago but please let this stupid tradition die. It's become devoid of all humor and makes April 1 a hassle honestly.
