  • TinkerCAD is ok for simple shapes and basic functional parts. It works by adding or subtracting simple shapes together (cubes, cylinders etc) to make more complex shapes. It's quick, easy and instinctive but anything slightly more complex than a dozen shapes grouped together and/or iterative designs quickly become a time consuming nightmare. It's like trying to format a magazine in Word.

    FreeCAD (or Fusion, OnShape, SolidWorks or any "serious" CAD software) use a parametric workflow. You start with a technical drawing by setting shapes, dimensions, angles and relationships ("constraints"), extrude or revolve this shape to create a solid, then continue by drawing another sketch on a face and adding more constraints, extruding this sketch, then.. you get it. It has a much steeper learning curve, but once understood it's much quicker and easier to build very complex shapes. Plus iterative designs are usually a breeze since everything is constrained together, so changing any dimension or angle in any sketch means the whole design will follow. It's also trivial to add chamfers, filets, working with mirror and central symmetry etc. When designing functional parts, parametric design is the proper tool for the job.

  • Erős Pista (Hungarian paprika paste) or Sambal Oelek + a fuckton of freshly grated garlic + a pinch of sugar = surprisingly close Huy Fong Sriracha alternative (great if you boycott US products or if there is yet another shortage). Can be enhanced even further with a couple drops of liquid smoke.

    Mayo + sriracha goes with everything, from sushi to fries.

    Sriracha is life.

  • I have no idea if it's true or not, but sometimes I feel as nerds we are already an out-group and therefore naturally more inclusive and welcoming to fellow nerds regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, skin color or origin.

  • I think you haven't understood my message, and probably not the article itself.

    What Porsche does is simulate the behavior of a torque converter automatic transmission. The opposite of a "drivers car" as you put it.

    What I'm suggesting is the opposite. Use paddle shifters to alter acceleration and regen torque in a way that's similar to a sequential or semi-auto transmission. "Downshift" to increase regen (engine breaking) and accel torque, just like downshifting in a petrol car. "Upshift" to reduce them. With the added benefit of zero emissions and the ability to stay in whichever "gear mode" you want.

    FWIW I've driven manuals for 20 years and although my latest car is a hybrid and the next will be electric, I still "drive" manual in sim racing.

    Of course they're not the only slippers this side of the Mediterranean, I'm just advertising some nice, locally made products with a long history in a community dedicated to nice, locally made products.

  • This is idiotic.

    I can imagine a world where paddle shifters control throttle and regen behavior. Like "downshifting" from a gentle lift and coast to heavy regen-braking in steps, same with "upshifting" from max torque to gentle eco-mode. Would make EVs even more amazing for people like me actually.

    But this, this is stupid.

  • Can confirm this is true

  • Being an adult doesn't mean you're only entitled to buy stuff you need. Don't forget to treat yourself or others once in a while if you can afford it and it's something you really want.
