hey Bronze.... what kind of CAD are you using??

my favorite was SolidWorks..
AutoCAD. Learned on 2012, using 2015 now. I learned Solidworks too. I'm sure I forgot most of that. Back in the 90's I purchased Pro-E for our engineering department (when it first came out) but I never learned it. Wished I had.

Sittin in the shop pickin' my can. Filled truck with gas and now it wont stay started. Chugged n died a few times womt even chug now. Had AAA tow it to their shop for free and I'm gonna let them fix it. They have the diagnostic equipment. I'd just start changing out stuff (hit or miss). Filter, pump, injectors, on and on. Screw that!! Pay the man and be done with it. I'm tired of working on cars. Been tired of working on cars for decades.

Tin foil hat but....yesterday according to "news" sources, supposedly the FBI wanted everyone to reboot their router (ie back to default state) because of a "Russian (of course) malware threat". Of course, I completely ignored it. Today at precisely 8 am, my DNS server stopped working - probably because I had the magic 1.1.1.1 input. Started working again as soon as I switched to "default settings". Coincidence?

One of my previous problems was I like to use Firefox. They have https over dns. So that is still a slight issue for me. I have been using another browser with very little problem. I still use Firefox too, and hope they can do a workaround the issue.

I didn’t hear that “news” about router reboots, but so much that happens now makes me shake my head and think, “How dumb do they think we are?”

Then we go and PAY them for a surveillance device because it’s so “convenient” and cool. And then I think, “Yeah. We just might be dumber than they think we are.”

I was on a Skype business meeting and heard a random voice in the room of one of the participants - who was startled by it. Turns out Alexa “heard some random combo of words” and thought she was being given instructions. The person had to shout “Alexa CANCEL” to end whatever Alexa was going to do.

So Alexa overhears conversational tones and volumes, but has to be yelled at to stop?

The whole thing is creepy. These weird tech glitches like yours are too frequent and the timing too strange to be coincidences anymore IMO.

Looks like the fuel pump is kaput. Hooked his gauges up and zero pressure. I'm gonna do it myself. These guys charge an arm and a leg. Gotta pull the bed. My weekend is spoken for.

Dang. I was hoping the cost would be in the range that would be worth it to you to let them do it.

Finally got rid of that smelly fire extinguisher. Kinda got the runaround trying to find out the proper way and place to dispose of it. There was a tag on it for the local company that certified it. They don’t do disposal. The woman said if it was empty, just throw it in the regular trash. When I told her it was emitting a caustic odor, she got alarmed, put me on hold and came back to tell me to bring it right in.

Sheesh! But I’m glad it’s out of here.

I quit working on cars other than an oil change, plugs very minor stuff. When we had carbs, points and timing lights, I was pretty good and enjoyed it. Now, I look, scratch my head, then call the man.

Can't like this. While the bed is off (what a job) I recommend a fuel filter change, too. I say this not because I am smart but because I was not smart. OOOps, I mean my friend was not smart.

Well, not to start a war of pizza preferences or anything...

But this cracked me up. :)

    Manjaro Linux bookmarked.
    Manjaro is a rolling release , it's bleeding edge linux and constantly evolving . If you're willing to keep it updated it's worth it IMO . It's documentation is far superior to Linux Mint's , and the devs are always on the forum and ready to help , you'll rarely see a developer on Mint's forum but you will see a lot of snowflakes on it . It's already established on Mint's forum that I'm crass , rude and willing to get ruder in a heartbeat , when dealing with the cupcakes . Wonder how that happened ? :evil:

    weird dreams...

    went to a upper end steak house ( Ruth Chris).. and someones grandma was there and she had to have her little butter knife and corn cob holders... the menu was engraved on a polished brass ball about the size of a big grapefruit ( it had 3 little legs which kept it from rolling around in the plate... lighting was dim and reflected of of the ceiling so reading the menu was futile... the waiter announced the house special so everyone ordered that since the menus were a challenge to read... being that it was a finer steak house, no corn on the cob was served and the grandma threw a hissy fit because she was denied the opportunity to use her corn cob holders and little butter knives ( yup she brought 2 of them)

    everyone ate but the grandma ( since she didnt get her corn on the cob) and the wifey wanted to know the name of the sauce used on the steak... so I had to grab one of those menus and find proper lighting to find out its name.... then it started raining quite hard and..... for some reason I had arrived on my motorcycle... then I woke up... ummm became non asleep ;)
