Learn FreeCAD. Getting trapped in commercial software and having to abandon years and years worth of project files isn't a mistake I'm making twice. Fusion seems attractive, but look at how they treat their shit tier users.

Being deliberately obtuse, or ignoring the context?

> Then it ticked past the sixty-second mark, making it longer than the others that week. The shaking intensified.

That last sentence struck a chord. It's crazy being in the most violent event of your life, and then it gets more intense, like it dropped a gear and floored it.

10/10 would recommend experiencing a massive quake, if it were not for the small matter of widespread destruction in your city. Of course several months and 10000 aftershocks later, they're not as much fun.

Takes two seconds to call somebody a wanker.

The last thing I searched for was about the lady who sunk the New Zealand Naval vessel. It told me she was a captain in the United States Navy. I said that was absolutely not true and it told me of course you are correct, she is from the Australian Navy, and nothing I could say could convince it otherwise.

If it can't manage one small fact on something that was covered quite a bit in the previous month, then it is worse than useless. At the very least it should say I don't know. It reminds me of that one guy we all know that does nothing but make stuff up when talking about stuff outside of their wheel house. Never backs down, never learns anything, and ultimately dumped from the relationship.

AFAICT ChatGPT is mostly useless and can't be trusted to answer questions accurately. So no, mostly all search engines. To be honesty I'm surprised anybody uses it for anything other than trivial uses.

I'm pretty old now; if I knew who made that decision and that they were coming to my country, I'd flip a coin on the risk of prison time for punching them unconscious.

I do it every day, so I see it from your perspective.

I'm willing to bet there are kids who do not though. Given how many crazy colours my IDE shows everything in, I could definitely believe there are people that go, 'Why bother, aren't those private members blue anyway?', or some such similar train of thought.

Of course if your IDE is little more than notepad, then such things are still important. For me, that's the Arduino IDE. I have to admit I really like writing micro controller code in it, it's a bit like writing code 30 years ago (both the good and bad parts).

Nah, he's talking about these: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F...
