I also prefer to move the camera, which a mouse is more intuitive for. A 3d mouse is like holding/rotating the object. A middle mouse button is so freaking simple and fast I just don’t understand the problem. Moving the view around is like 2% of my workflow.

And scroll up has to be zoom in. The fact that many defaults are the opposite is literally insane.

Because solidworks is the gold standard in the space and is intuitive for millennials that grew up on computers. It mirrors other software that came before in terms of super basic stuff like how to draw a damn line. If you’re going to do a big swing and change the paradigm with a fundamentally better way, it better be really good for a really good reason.

All the others you listed are very similar to solidworks and no problem. FreeCAD decided sketching should be completely different. I can barely even draw a line and I don’t understand how that’s possible.

I’ve tried it for a few hours, but basic stuff seems incredibly needlessly difficult. After thousands of hours in Solidworks it’s just too painful.

In many regions solar capacity factor is much higher than 20%; for example, the entire US. https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2021/utility-scale_pv

Mmmm, tastes like supply chain optimization.

Because other drivers are blinded…

This is due to corporate greed. Solar and wind are the cheapest sources of energy in the history of the world.

Even current lithium-based battery storage is already cheaper than nuclear.

I had lead when I was a kid and I turned out just fine!

She knows her ruling is fucking stupid. All she is saying is “I’m gonna try not to get killed by some extremist while this gets appealed to higher courts.”

There’s a difference between an ill-advised third party run and collusion with Russia. Stein is mentioned once in this article with zero evidence of a connection.

Did Russia try to unilaterally boost Stein’s campaign (along with all third party candidates)? Likely.

Should Stein have dropped out if she knew this? No.

Should Stein have dropped out because she was contributing to Trump’s win? Yes.

Hydro is often turned on and off as pumped storage. Nuclear never is

Come on… You can hate Stein all you want for being a spoiler, but there is zero evidence she has any connection to Putin.

Out of those you listed, nuclear is the least flexible in terms of output regulation. PV with batteries is the most flexible.

Yeah the poster above you is wrong. Solar is WAY less than half the price.

Solar plus batteries are already cheaper than nuclear, and only going down. Nuclear has always gotten more expensive over time. For the cost of the most recently completed nuclear plant in the US they could have built 12 times the nameplate capacity worth of solar with 24 hours of battery backup. (A totally unnecessary amount of dispatchability.)

Solar and batteries easily “pay” for their manufacturing carbon emissions within 1-2 years max (as does nuclear). This payback period only goes down as the grid gets greener.

It only applies to publicly traded companies, which tend to be beholden to the “woke, oppressive majority” of society. Private companies would remain free to funnel unlimited funds to their choice of shithead.

I want everything to be toggle switches. If I could get a keyboard made of 105 classic toggle switches it would be worth the effort to type with it.

Newsom dialing back the progressivism for his presidential run.
