How old are you? Once you reach middle-age shit starts breaking, even if you're fit which most of us aren't. You'll notice a good bed at forty much more than you will at twenty. By sixty you'll be demanding one.

I don't believe you are. I'm not certain it's been implemented... yet.

The entire Fediverse is a work in progress. It's just better than the alternatives.

I disagree they did a great job with The Expanse. The first three series are better IMHO, especially series three. The Amazon seasons just feel like a loose collection of bottle episodes in comparison.

As an alternative for both, try searXNG.

https://searx.space/ for instances.

https://github.com/searxng/searxng for the code, you can run your own instance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG for the wikipedia article.

Personally, I find it returns much better results than anything currently available elsewhere. It reminds me of a time when search actually worked. Also, no ads and no tracking.

BTW, different instances can supply poorer results than others, so shop around to find the best one for you.

 

I'm trying to do something similar to this old tutorial (https://www.halfgaar.net/modelling-a-jet-engine), but the Prelude to modelling bit does something called dupliverts, which appears to be no longer part of Blender 4.3.

I tried an array (and applied it) but that gives me the blades as one object. How do I do this with the blades being separate objects?

IIRC, they originally became popular because they saved characters for microblogs like Twitter. They've outlasted their usefulness though.

If only it worked on current generation hardware other than pixel and, iirc, fairphone.

Only some of those books focus on mages.

In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).

The Word For World is Forest by Ursula LeGuin. I hated most of the first chapter but it's improved since then.

Yeah, nah. While copyrights are a problem as they're currently employed, removing them would screw every content creator on the planet. Most of us don't make much as it is, with only a few making a living from our work. Removing copyright would allow anyone to take what we produce without any compensation.

The corporations would love that.

ET, ET2, ET3, ETC

 

Bicycles and kick scooters will be banned from footpaths that are next to cycling lanes from the fourth quarter of this year. They must stick to the cycling lane instead. Only personal mobility aids like motorised scooters will be allowed on these pedestrian-only paths. These will have a speed limit of 6 km/h by the end of next year. The Land Transport Authority says this is to keep paths safer for all, especially seniors and young children.
