You know, I left Reddit because I didn’t like what was going on. Banning US presidential election posts to a political forum makes me not like what’s going on. What’s next on the ban list?

You may want to opt out of those services. Even LinkedIn seems to know it’s got potential to be a flaming hot train wreck, apparently to the point where they desire no responsibility for the public messages made by their machine that they own, train, and qc.

I’ve been killing an easy 50 a day (maybe more) for at least a month and not really gaining any ground at all on them. I live next door to a conservation area in the Pittsburgh, PA subarbs. Killing them on Grapes, Virginia Creeper and some ash looking weed.

Just to share it, I’ve noticed at this point that if disturbed, the bug will try to leap away. If it is successful, it seems to return to that very same point in space.

Its a real shame too. I’m a pro bug guy. I really wish I didn’t have to kill them, and honestly, they are kinda dapper looking.

Ahh, I was mistaken. Libre is open source.

Having used autocad for nearly 40 years, I will say they stick it to their customers pretty fiercely. I still use 2010 with 3rd party software to get it to run on win10 at home. I do a lot of solid models and assemblies as well as technical 2D drawings and renderings.

FreeCAD is impressive, but it lacks an easy to use interface. NanoCAD and LibreCAD are not open source but are free and are both better 2D alternatives.

Edit: LibreCAD is open source.
