So a week ago I started watching the Decameron, and mentioned it here. Not finished yet but wow, did it go down hill fast.

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts.

The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work.

Your threats will not intimidate us.

Or silence us.

"A whole new level of cruelty": Health experts decry "devastating" cuts to HIV treatment programs The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation said the latest cuts will deprive 350,000 people of HIV treatment.

β€œWhat’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action.

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?

Yes, it is complicated. CAD is just like that. I find that the additional complexity actually makes using the toolset easier.

For my 3D printing and CAD using friends:
I'm moving from Autocads Fusion to the open source FreeCad. It appears to be better in almost every way due to recent (v1.0) feature updates. And it is free.
