  • It’s a bit more nuanced than that. Essentially AP fact checked it and instead of saying “Hillbilly Eulegy doesn’t contain a story about Vance getting freaky with a couch” they used the headline “Vance never had relations with a couch”

    That’s not something anyone could actually know for sure though, and they were called on it… and had to retract it…

    Which of course lead to people wondering why it was retracted, and it kinda snowballed. I don’t think anybody seriously believes it, but as the story goes, there’s no evidence he DIDN’T fuck a couch lol



  • it looks like Fusion 360 runs fine on Linux

    I can assure you, it does not.

    Do not switch to Linux and expect this project to save you, it is NOT beginner friendly.

    It’s great, and I’m sure someone smarter than me could probably get it working, but personally, I failed miserably and switched to OnShape.





  • I did this once.

    I’m about 8 years older than my brother. So when he was about 6, and I was about 14, I had this habit of holding him around the back of his neck. Kinda thumb on one side, rest of the hand on his shoulder on the other side, never hard, or choking him, but it gave me good leverage to make sure he didn’t get lost and/or into mischief, particularly when we were in a shop or something.

    So anyway, we’re in this shop, and we’re looking around, and I hear my mom yell out “Kraiden, get your brother, we’re leaving.” So I grab my brother, and start leading him to the exit… except he isn’t coming… so I pull a bit harder and say “<Brother> come on, mom says we’re leaving.” Still nothing, so I tug a little harder “<Brother> Let’s go! Mom’s gonna get angry!” Nothing! So I look down.

    NOT MY BROTHER!!! Some kid, on his tippie toes, with my hand around his neck, absolutely REFUSING to take a step, probably out of sheer terror! Whoops! Did not feel good. DID NOT LOOK GOOD!!!

    Apologized profusely and left as quickly as I could! They still give me shit about it years later.




  • My idea is essentially to match the official stand that ships with it, but flip it and put a stand on the “bottom.” I think it’ll be really nice aesthetically but unfortunately it seems like it’s not as simple as just mirroring it. To tell the truth, I’m probably going to end up going this route anyway, but I feel like I have to at least try the hard way first
