Excellent, yes, I'm totally just using this stuff as an amateur/hobbyist now - I've been out of doing mechanical design professionally for 25 years now :)

Nice! I used CADKEY back in the late 90s, but the shop reverted back to 2D with AutoCAD LT. Later I played around with Pro/DESKTOP (like Pro/ENGINEER for edu) in the early 2000s, but by that time I was in software and was just playing around. Good times, using this stuff just takes me back…

As an example: Onshape is in PTC's lineage of 3D CAD software from the 1990s. It stems from Pro/Engineer (Pro-E) that cost over $20k per seat back in the 90s. I can use Onshape for free, in my browser, in 2025. Crazy.

Same, YouTube is really my only Alphabet property now… but I don’t know if I can give it up. There just isn’t anything out there to replace it! Ugh.

Just surprised that someone would take that oath and then before even leaving the stage sign a bunch of executive orders in an attempt to dismantle everything. But hey, I’m no constitutional scholar…

I get your point. And maybe I used too aggressive language when I said “jumping”… I think I’m just shocked by the “shock and awe” of this. I also see that taking an oath to defend and uphold the constitution is basically a verbal handshake.

The fact that this stuff is happening, without someone immediately jumping in to stop him, tells me that this country was nothing but a 250 year handshake deal to be honorable. Where are the checks and balances?
