When I was a child my teacher told me to never use my real name online

I really, really, really like mayonnaise though

FreeCAD feels like blender before the UI revamp. I can tell it's powerful but the UI is opaque to me.

Fusion 360 is free for hobbyists and it's not too hard to learn for basic stuff

Is it online only? I in general prefer locally installed software, without Internet requirements.

The software is installed locally (runs on macOS and Windows), but your files are stored on Autodesk's servers. You have to sign in to use it. Program startup takes ages. But the features are great.

If you don't need fancy features, have a look at FreeCAD as well.


Maybe I should suck it up and just give it a crack. Thank you for the recommendation.

If your computer was using it as your time server and you didn't have alternatives configured your clock my have drifted a few seconds.

I never checked it, but how much a typical's pc/server's clock does actually drift over a week or a month? I always thought it's well under a second.

Clocks do drift. Seconds a week is definitely possible. I think there are varying quality of internal clocks in electronic devices, and the cheaper the quality the more drift there is. I think small cheap microcontrollers can drift seconds per day.

cheap microcontrollers use RC oscillators. If they only drift a few seconds a day, that would be an achievement by itself.

RC oscillator is poor enough that early days USB communication would fail if running on RC clock.


I've seen some new ThinkPads lose a minute a month and others (the old ThinkPads) keep within a second of NTP over an entire year. It depends.

Several seconds per week is normal. Oscillator accuracy is roughly on the order of 10 PPM, which would correspond to 6 seconds per week.

I have an extremely cheap and extremely low power automatic cat feed - it’s been on 2 D batteries for 18 months. I just reset it after it had drifted 19 minutes, so about 1 minute a month, or 15 seconds a week!

Anyone have a good workflow for combining images in comfyui? I could never get it to work.

Did you try Civitai workflow? I also failed.

I tried a few workflows I got from civitai

You can just buy your child these books if you really want them to read a Clockwork Orange

What about new grad H1Bs?

Hire new grads on OPT and transition to H-1B.

I don't want to have to max out my gpu to browse reddit.
