Black metal has troubled origins, but honestly it's just a parody/joke now. Black metal these days is to the world what heavy metal was 30 years ago, when Dee Snider had to appear before the US senate because of the "Parents

I'd encourage you to give Firefox a go if you haven't already. The new version is really good, and I personally trust Mozilla a lot more. :)

I guess it depends how to value your time. For me a couple of hours to avoid paying £400+ for a decent cordless vacuum seems worth it. I’ve actually fixed this vacuum cleaner numerous times! Not always with 3D printer parts though.

It doesn’t take a lot of time though... The latch for my vacuum clean bin broke. I fished it out (10m), modelled a replacement in FreeCAD (2hr, I had to learn how to use FreeCAD since I’d never used it before), and printed a replacement (40

> of course. Any sensible driver will not drive the car without a speedometer. I think you missed the point of my comment entirely. Knowing your speed is not required to be safe while driving - being observant, correctly signaling, and d

On the 1st of November a friend shared with me a screenshot from the Instagram of a concerned parent explaining a situation in which her child was being cyber bullied, and it was clear from the content of the messages that the bully could h

Isn't it far better to split these jobs out to different threads? A rendered frame is just a view on some data. As soon as you couple state updating to rendering you're bound to encounter issues. This is what leads to games like A

Those “curb cut grips” are not for increased friction, rather to inform the visually impaired of a crossing. Similarly there are other paving slabs with ridges, and the direction on the ridge relative to the path tells you if it’s for cycli

The game is good but the controls are so bad it's comical. Don't try and get on your horse if someone is standing near it because triangle is also "get into a fight with that person". You can back out of the fight, but n
