  • It’s a bit more nuanced than that. Essentially AP fact checked it and instead of saying “Hillbilly Eulegy doesn’t contain a story about Vance getting freaky with a couch” they used the headline “Vance never had relations with a couch”

    That’s not something anyone could actually know for sure though, and they were called on it… and had to retract it…

    Which of course lead to people wondering why it was retracted, and it kinda snowballed. I don’t think anybody seriously believes it, but as the story goes, there’s no evidence he DIDN’T fuck a couch lol




  • it looks like Fusion 360 runs fine on Linux

    I can assure you, it does not.

    Do not switch to Linux and expect this project to save you, it is NOT beginner friendly.

    It’s great, and I’m sure someone smarter than me could probably get it working, but personally, I failed miserably and switched to OnShape.






  • Margaret Elaine Hamilton (née Heafield; born August 17, 1936) is an American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo program. She later founded two software companies—Higher Order Software in 1976 and Hamilton Technologies in 1986, both in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    Hamilton has published more than 130 papers, proceedings, and reports, about sixty projects, and six major programs. She invented the term “software engineering”, stating “I began to use the term ‘software engineering’ to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process.”

    On November 22, 2016, Hamilton received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from president Barack Obama for her work leading to the development of on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Moon missions.

    Huh, didn’t know about her! She sounds like a badass lady!




  • My idea is essentially to match the official stand that ships with it, but flip it and put a stand on the “bottom.” I think it’ll be really nice aesthetically but unfortunately it seems like it’s not as simple as just mirroring it. To tell the truth, I’m probably going to end up going this route anyway, but I feel like I have to at least try the hard way first
