Hey that's not fair, Caesar did a lot of things before he died.

I just can't think of any... he liked salad right?

After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.

Edit: they were wrong, it's sideways.

That's an unreasonably generic question. Buying almost anything in the modern world requires sifting through garbage to find the good stuff.

Slightly, but it's still an individual cable. A large cable tie makes more sense when it's attached to a large tool that can't be tossed in a pile.

The thumbnail shows a hexagonal tiling, which is like a brick-laying pattern but rotated 90 degrees, so the "half bricks" are on the top and bottom, not the sides.

Maybe it would still work to orient the hexagons so the zig-zag part is on the walls, and then fill in the gaps with half-height half-width walls. Although "half" isn't exactly correct; the hexagons give you ugly trig numbers.

I think you could improve the latch design by making it curved, with a large-diameter circle centered on the hinge. But I tried to sketch this in FreeCAD, and my circles are coming out as jaggy polygons instead of round. How do people get anything done with this software?

I suggest changing your cover photo to include a large power tool, instead of a tiny USB cable.

I guess it's hard to get good citations when the world has like 3 people in it.

It's generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don't want banned.
