Love my deck … Kind of got side tracked gaming

You sound like me lol: Side tracked by the device’s primary purpose.

Nice. I’ll look into that one.

My ultimate goal is getting a decent-sized touchscreen, putting an LCARS-themed HomeAssistant UI on it, and hanging it up as a functional MSD for my house.

Apparently I said “Joe Dirt” sometime earlier in my life and my wish came true.

Oh no offense taken at all, haha. Was just making a confession and trying to be funny about it.

Every other post being “Promoted” bullshit, the slow-ass web UI, my former favorite app no longer working, and the bloated and track-y first party app. I was never a fan of “old reddit UI” , so that wasn’t a crutch like it was for others.

Ah. I’ll admit, my TOS lore is lacking. Was trying to deflect with a smile and nod, but you caught me lol.

Nice. A lot more than RPis, too.

This is actually for a Banana Pi but it’s in the Pi Zero form factor so should be easy to modify.

Yes!

And Worf tells this highly embellished story of honor and victory, everyone reacts in awe, and he folds.

Right? I feel like it would be a high quality, low budget, low stress series. No CGI, minimal costume and make up, the writers may just have to give them some in-character stuff to work into their otherwise ad-libbed banter. The cast’s age wouldn’t be a concern since they’d be comfortably seated the whole time.

The framing device could be that after PIC S3, they decide to meet up for a weekly game of poker and we’re just spectators to it.

It could work 😆

If you have any coding experience, I recommend giving OpenSCAD

That’s certainly an interesting way to go about it lol. That said, I read through the tutorial and honestly I’m gonna give it a try. The syntax doesn’t look too awful and doing it in code seems like it would allow for easy precision and also eliminates having to learn the UI of FreeCAD which I agree is absolutely horrendous.

Thanks.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Unless the player on the right is Worf who gets none because he’s just going to fold anyway.

The “Cuatro Leches” is like the jackasses on The Price is Right who, seeing you’ve bid $500, bids $501.

They should be. I have never seen them anywhere in my neck of the woods, but I did find a vape juice that’s “Tres Leches” flavored. It’s pretty amazing.

Wow thanks! That’s actually super helpful. Gonna save this and probably throw it in a text document for later reference. I was 100% trying to do an all-in-one-go single project like you described because “that’s what i wanted it to look like”. The result was predictably frustrating and just awful.

I’ve watched a few tutorials but a lot of it went over my head or talked in terms I wasn’t familiar with yet or started in the middle of an existing project. Will definitely try breaking things down into smaller, simpler primitives. I’ve not done CAD work before so this is all brand new to me, so things like the actual workflow are things I need to learn (and you’ve described very well).

These are project cases for a Pi Zero clone, so FreeCAD would probably be the most logical choice. Though someone else commented a plugin for Blender that adds a CAD-like workflow to it.

Well, Kosst Amojan is one of the True Prophets (deep reference from “DS9: Millennium”).

My earbuds are the over-the-ear style, but I am now thinking about adding a chain to one of them and it would sort of look like this.

Well, switching the mouse navigation mode got me further and less frustrating than before, so progress I suppose! The default “CAD” navigation was hell to use with my trackball since the DPI button is right below the wheel and wheel + button to free rotate the model was just awkward on so many levels. OpenCascade seems to be the sweet spot.

I’ll stick with it. Was just hoping there was something more for dummies like me lol.

The humidity and enclosed space.

In environments where there is a high level of humidity, odor molecules can remain in the air for longer and spread out less. Combine that with the closed space and they linger a lot longer.
