What are the advantages and disadvantages of that design, specifically.

I imagine that it would be good for surmounting big hills of sand.

The ground clearance seems slim, but maybe that's just the angle.

You are concentrating your attention. Removing it from everything except the important thing.

And then all that's left is the important thing and everything else disappears.

It's an extreme alteration of perspective..

Marvelous catch!

Why? I mean, they are literally providing free food.

Reading this bunch of modern true-believers confidently preach the dogma of the hour (evolution yes! design no!) is nauseating.

It inspires one to investigate religion, psychedelics and meditation. They say it sheds light on the subject.

No deaths of close relatives basically forever then suddenly 3 close ones dead inside 2 years (in the vicinity of the recent calamity) (all for causes apparently unrelated to covid, if you're wondering, for whatever such statements are worth). Life has become sciencefictiony.

Sure. Send them to personalized matrix heaven.

You don't even have to trick them into it. Just tell them it's really cool and they should just try it out and then they put on the vr helmet and they're gone.

You could even do a simulated vr-exit to alleviate any doubt and shame.

We live in a post-joke world, you insensitive clod.

[–] rainrain 0 points 4 days ago

It's perfectly ok of course.

That this is even a question is absurd.

 

And stuff related to that. When you pay attention, focus... get so concentrated on something that you get sucked in...

What is that like? Can you describe it?

And in the opposite direction. What is it like to be distracted?

We get that here too. Damn flipflopping temperature. Warm weather tricks everything into blooming then frost kills it .

 

8 years ago the spring weather was different. It drizzled almost every day. It was cloudy. Now we have these clear sunny days, big winds and scant rain.

It's software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.

The last "official release" was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.
