  • Security is there to make sure you’re not carrying illegal stuff, as long as that’s fine, the only time they maybe check the id is before giving you the boarding pass.

    Looks like the guy didn’t have a boarding pass altogether, so not sure how he got into the plane.

    There is usually a person or an automatic gate that checks your pass before allowing you through the plane. However that’s more like a ticket check and to make sure people don’t get on the wrong planes, it’s probably not super hard to get around.


  • Gnome is great because of the large UI size. Like my 14" notebook has a roughly 2800x1600 screen resolution and it’s still pretty usable without any UI scaling. If the bars are an inch tall, you’re either using a huge TV or a screen from the garbage dump. Gnome really needs a modern system.




  • I mean, they seem to have basic grammar for items and people and actions (“eyes”, “walls”, “fell”), it’s possible that they only use that weird allegory reference pattern when speaking formally to strangers or whatever. It’s also possible that their language in the original version makes more sense and is more practical and it just gets mangled by the universal translator.

    Still sounds implausible and far fetched. Why would you be outside without adequate clothing? (Also below zero can be fine in jeans and sweatshirt if the sun is shining and there isn’t much wind). And in that case it would be more a heat issue and less like a shelter issue.

    The other case also sounds more like a heat/water issue and less like a shelter issue.

    0°C is completely fine with jeans and a thick jacket, especially when it’s sunny and there isn’t much wind. It’s cold, but there’s probably not much ice or snow, if anything, probably mostly slush.

    Compared to say -20 C where you should have a good ski jacket and ski pants, warm shoes and socks, generally multiple layers everywhere, winter gloves and so on.

    “most” would be an exaggeration, but many are. Other animals commonly used in placeholder names are also horse, chicken and lion.

    Pig was just the most common meat animal, so any unknown animal that you’d eat would he called an xyz pig. Apple was also used like this for all kinds of fruits and vegetables:

    orange = Chinese apple

    tomato = golden apple (?)

    pomegranate = granate apple

    potato = earth apple

    jimsonweed = thorn apple

    And so on







  • For modeling I like Freecad and Blender. Blender is more for general modelling and sculpting, Freecad is more for cad/constraint based creation of precise 3d models. So use blender if you want to create little soldiers or elephants or other more organic stuff, and use Freecad if you want to print a replica of a plastic part or an enclosure or something like that.

    There should be tons of slicers available on Linux.
