   I'll generously assume that you mean 3d printers, to help make housing for the affected people there. Otherwise, I feel like your comment is even less constructive than my interpretation.

   From the general tone of the rest of the comment, it's likely they're referring to actions taken adjacent to the Black Lives Matter protests which were depicted in some news media as being like a war zone. Oddly, none of the citie

   Ha, (USA - MS here), my mom lives 17 miles(27 km) away and I visit her regularly, and prior to my current job, I commuted 44 miles (70 km) daily for 3 years.

   Well, just this past Sunday I literally had a random drunk driver pull onto my private property and proceed to wreck their vehicle in my front yard. While the interlock would have kept them from starting the vehicle originally, the stupidit

   It's my understanding that v1.5 will be coming out in a few weeks; I recall that hands and faces will be better-trained in the new model. I'm about to try what you did (install requirements manually) to get it to run in PyCharm on

    Well, for starters(not that proficient with PyCharm as I only use it for less-professional use), I have tried for a few days to get PyCharm to use the miniconda environment on Windows, to no avail. It at least works on the command line so I

    Sounds like a dream, really. And you could always have it be user-driven action, like "Copy this line and paste it into your email provider's whitelist", framing it as a positive win for the user since they have total control

    I doubt I will be disappointed by the outcome. I've already been enjoying popcorn while watching the show. I recommend you review the laws cited by the FBI in the search warrant, and note that they do not require the documents to be cl

    The former president[T] could absolutely leak secret documents in violation of existing law. The former president[O] signed Executive Order 13526, which was never [publicly] rescinded nor modified by TFP[T], and that EO defines how classifi

    This is not a true statement. The AEC has its own Restricted Data classification which is not under the purview of the president to declassify. There are other cases of classification but this is one that is not easily debatable.

    Weird, but wonderful. I laid down a large (butcher paper) white sheet under a tree and took a picture. Much later on, I took that same picture and a pencil I had at the time, and projected the picture back onto the butcher paper and traced

    That's good for getting started, but you'll probably want to switch into more powerful software before getting too invested in TinkerCad or Sketch-up. Fusion360, for what I use it for(mostly 3d printing), is a good compromise betw
