  • I use the site daily. Being able to download FREE CAD models in one click, nominal dimensions for nearly everything, and linked compatible components makes design so much simpler. I can swap a screw out in my assemblies in seconds. Other online hardware catalogs just don’t compare. It’s the perfect first draft resource.

    If McMaster ever goes down it’s going to take twice as long to do any design.

    The first one you learned or became fluent in. For example, it’s often English for USA people or Spanish for Spanish people, or Japanese for Japanese people

    Often also called mother tongue or primary language.

    Otherwise, it can be the one you are most comfortable with or default to.



  • Chances are you can find a cause in your community people have gathered around.

    Sometimes though you might be in aplace where there’s just no community for you which is a reality in various rural areas. You might need to make the drive those 3 counties over.

    If it’s real bad you might need to decide between your roots and living closer to communities you mesh well with. Depends on what’s important for you in life and where you can find work.


  • Volunteering is a great way! You can also go to festivals with clubs (free market, ren fair, hobby conventions) and ask how to get involved. Just walk up to people and express intereat and ask how to participate. Oftrn they’ll be excited to get you into the community.

    Pick and choose. You’ll meet a lot of toxic people. You need to identify toxic traits such as bullying or people ignoring your needs.

    Lastly, you’re going to mesh with some people. The people you end up talking to for a long time. It’s 1 in a thousand for me. So, wide net.









  • Not really, it would simply push safer practice and encourage use of open source materials. It would also encourage a push for code standard development and higher quality legislation. If you’re going to reveal it, why even use proprietary code? The copywrite still applies in the cases of unauthorized use. Proprietary net code is just to obfuscate data mining and the extent to which security is breached. There’s too much profit in multiplayer games for companies to simply give up because they have to work data mining in from another vector.
