"Of the 4,700 newspapers published in Germany when the Nazis took power in 1933, no more that 1,100 remained. Approximately half were still in the hands of private or institutional owners, but these newspapers operated in strict compli

I switched to FreeCAD 2-3 years ago. It suits me just fine and I'm so glad I can store my project in a local folder. I also don't have to worry Fusion360 taking any more features away or locking me out. I also don't have to b

I have another suggestion which I'm sure played a large part in this. SVC was an unwanted child. It wasn't their "product". One employee was tasked to write it to save paying money to a "seemingly innocuous middlewa

A picture is worth a thousand words. Yet, in an article about a camera lens, there isn't a single picture from it.

I seem to remember stories back in the day about threatening ashtrays and flipped chessboards. Helmets might not be a bad idea.

Wrong. It says that 20% of people will argue with you and be confident that they are right even though they are more wrong.

Sadly you don't even need a mistaken research to cause damage. One nutter on youtube is enough.

Nice work. It would be good to have examples (images, models and their prompt) on the front page. That might also lessen the load a bit.

>must be scored using the "NPM model". Only scores exceeding 4 are "banned", which will include sweetened oats Thanks. Do you have a link to "the list" and this NPM model scoring system?

It's very strange they say porridge oats are banned, then go on saying "natural porridge oats" are not. In my mind porridge oats are natural and you don't have to say that. If you have something else you need to say so.

Yep, I hated that. Spending an hour on a problem and get a solution you can't verify. It very much affected my motivation on starting on the problem knowing that I wouldn't know if I was right or wrong.

This scandal is probably the biggest miscarriage of justice in Europe. The fundamental issue was perhaps "reliability of computers". But the biggest scandal is that a lot of people knew what was happening and were either silenced
