Is there any way to see a list of all the cool projects NASA is working on? This is the first I've heard of this lunar orbit station

Is there any evidence for any of this?

Ok, but he's @satansmaggotycumfart is not totally wrong. People DID sit this out. However, the broader question I have is how fragile the US democratic experiment is. If all it takes for one election cycle for people to sit out, then the flame of democracy was never very strong to begin with. Checks and balances are all but gone at this point...

Jim Jones was able to walk 600 adults to their death (the children, sadly, had no say in the matter). It's a cult

Congress is pretty much dead. Repubs have lost whatever was the last vertebrae they had in their spine

It's Ok for small shops that do local projects. When you start working on large commercial projects you have 4-5 teams (architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, irrigation consultants) with each team involving 7-12 people then the pipeline gets complicated fast. Standardization is the only way to get projects out the door in a timely manner. We're already struggling with in-house autodesk products that already struggle to talk to each other bc autodesk sucks haha

It's not streamlined, fast, or integrated well with other platforms/programs. Most of all, our adjacent consultants need to work in dwg. The whole industry pipeline is built around Autodesk products unfortunately and they own the market

I do believe the path to growth is to fail faster. It just sucks when the fail is systemic and drawn out.

 

I'm considering getting into it with some add-ons, even though Blender will be adding in the upcoming release potentially. What are your thoughts? Have you played around with it yet? Seems very interesting for concepting

 

These monkeys went bananas: 40 monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina, and local authorities on Wednesday warned residents to stay away.

“Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” the Yemassee police department said on Facebook this week. “If you spot any of the escaped animals, please contact 911 immediately and refrain from approaching them.”

The monkeys that absconded were from the Alpha Genesis research center, which bills itself as “primate research specialists”. Police said that they have set up traps around the area and are “utilizing thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to locate the animals”.

 

My experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I've noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.

This is a very typical exchange I have here :

User: I don't like this color because it's red.

Me: I don't know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?

User: Why don't you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!

Me: OK...

Like, what gives? I don't have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.

 

What exactly is a bookwyrm instance and how does it differ from a Lemmy instance?
