With my aversion to food made out in the open, right next to running cars and open-coughing people, I stopped eating from roadside stalls by the time I started having enough autonomy.
I tend to prefer non-chain restaurants with viewable kitchens ^[those places tend to hire cooks who actually mind their coughing], but due to lack of any such desirable place in my area, eating out nearby, usually means subway (which is just, less bad).
Then I realise that with the amount of money I would spend to pay for the cheapest local meal place, I can actually cook with Ghee at home. And that topples the equation over its head.
Definitely not going back to outside food with nobody knows which oil they use.
We try and only eat out as a treat. Almost all of our my meals are eaten at home as we work from home these days. Also, my wife is an amazing cook and her food is better than most restaurants. We usually have leftovers or a sandwich for lunch.
I'm not familiar with your currency symbol? What country do you live in and are the health standards low enough that eating from a stall is a concern? That's a different situation.
I'm in the US, so food trucks, stalls and gas stations actually have decent standards. (Often, the cleanliness in these places is heads and shoulders above corporate chain places.)
I learned to always check the bathroom of a restaurant. How clean they keep their bathroom tells you a lot about how they keep their kitchen. Small, family run, places tend to have the best food and the cleanest bathrooms, in my experience.
Try
qalc.pacman -S libqalculateapt install qalcyum install qalculateIt's got both, a terminal frontend and a Qt GUI one. (Actually 3. Also a GTK one)
You can copy the currency text along with the symbol into it and by default, it will convert it to your Locale's currency, so you can know the exchange rates at least.
Also, ₹2000 - ₹3000 per 8 hour day tends to be what an engineering fresher would normally expect in a place like Delhi, where a Subway sub will cost around ₹400.
Running stock Android on my phone and use Jerboa for Lemmy, my computer is Windows 10 as Linux still is lacking in CAD/CAM. In particular, CAM at a professional level. My home server is running Linux, however. Been playing with Linux for a long time.
Wish Mastercam worked in Linux and I'd happily make the jump.
I really wish this could be fixed.
I have used CAD software quite a bit during my childhood and BTech and realise the great difference between Autodesk tools and OSS Alternatives. While blender has already overtaken their stuff in its domain, I feel the need for an alternative for AutoCAD ^[currently checking out QCAD] that can overthrow its crown. While I can't expect anything for stuff like ArchiCAD, Revit etc. which would require loads of domain specific knowledge.
Never tried CAM software, but I see 3 OSS ones here, so perhaps you can check out any that you haven't. I'd be interested in knowing about your exp with these, since I don't have much to think of how to test those.
qalculate has Windows binaries too
It's been a year or two since I played with OSS CAD/CAM. It was still heavily lacking. QCad is only 2d.
I check it every few years hoping for improvement.
FreeCAD UI was still so bad it was basically unusable and I could not wrap my head around it. Horrible interface and totally unintuitive. I'm still not sure how to take a simple linear measurement. Installed a plugin that sort of worked to measure. That crap was designed by aliens.
The OSS CAMs can generate a tool path, but it is difficult and they aren't feature rich. CNC programming puts food on my table and I need the speed and features of pro level software. If I was playing with a router and doing a lot of 2d stuff, I could make it work for that. Especially if my time didn't matter.
If Mastercam would just port to Linux I would happily switch.
I'm a CNC programmer with enough computer programming knowledge to be dangerous but not actually contribute to the various projects out there. Sucks.
I'll have to throw qalculate on my computer and play with it. I'm actually rebuilding our new little farm right now and am taking a break from machining while I put our home right. If our savings hold out, I'll be building my own shop.
I have the ability to create basic a 3D, line based design tool. Though I would have to read up on NURBS. Maybe QCad has the potential to grow in that direction.
I just still tend to hope that it may be implemented in something fully featured like Blender, which is more geared towards artistic modelling and replaces stuff like 3dsMAX and Maya. It does have some plug-ins to support precision drawing, but last time I checked, I was still not convinced of using it in an AutoCAD like workflow.
