So am I. I've been writing software for a living for almost 20 years, so when I wanted to make a slightly more complicated box to 3d print openscad was my first choice too. Then I tried freecad and hated it with passion. Eventually I ended up making it in solidworks - it sucked the least of the tools I've tried.

It's great when what you are designing is best described as code, but I find it absolutely not worth the hassle otherwise, because even basic things like chamfers/fillets are extremely hard to execute.

I've built a 50m^2 (550 ft^2 ) greenhouse from polycarbonate I bought online and timber I bought from a local sawmill.

I've had no prior carpentry experience and neither my education or work experience (software engineering) was any help. The design and how to was a result of several weeks of evenings spent watching YouTube.

On the other hand the 5 step long staircase I've added to the porch because I was feeling cocky is so bad I'll be fixing it the 4th time next weekend..

As much as I hate the guy I hope he isn't killed. The last thing we need is republicans having a martyr, especially before they find out how bad for them he is.

With tariff fallout there are decent chances they will not have a majority for a long time. After the tariff act of 1930 they went from having 14 seats more than democrats to a low of 16 seats out of 96 In senate in just 8 years. After that they had a senate majority once and congress majority twice in the next 50+ years.

That I have to confirm access to all websites and services ran by my employer is blocked from there because of sanctions. I'm reminded of that every time we do a compliance check.
