And these emojis? Way too many male faces. It’s totally unbalanced. Either make them 40% female or just shut this forum down.

Scott Long71 said:No, let’s get this straight: you own over 100 clubs, yet your staff only acts up in one because that’s just the type of clientele they deal with. Am I really supposed to go to that specific one?

Sure, you can do that. Avoid that club entirely, just like I avoid certain threads on this forum. But that doesn't stop you from telling the owner exactly what you think when he starts bragging about how great the atmosphere is at all his locations.

Scott Long71 said:Only if I'm looking for a fight and want to get beaten up.

I don't have an issue with a scrap, unless someone's definition of a "fight" is just beating up a guy who's already tied up.

Scott Long71 said:Or maybe I'll be smarter and try to figure out why some people don't get hit.

I figured that out a long time ago. I even once got my hands on a screenshot of the internal instructions detailing who gets targeted and who doesn't—including the specific criteria security is told to follow.

Scott Long71 said:The point you just quoted applies to this entire site, except for Politics (and the political debates over in History).

Do you have an issue with any of the other 100+ subreddits regarding that?

Look, I’m the owner of the club you’re hanging out in, and my bouncers are mostly fine—except they beat the hell out of you every single night between 11:00 and 11:15 PM.

Are we really going to waste time arguing about those pathetic 15 minutes, or should we talk about the other 1,425 minutes in the day?

That way, it isn't just about being in Store A while someone else is in Store B. And if we were only a meter apart, there’s still a wall between us.

If used correctly, the app and system should keep numbers low enough that only a tiny fraction of people are newly infected. If we had 35 new cases a day—which would be our maximum for 10 months if we had the same infection-to-population ratio as Singapore—we’d be looking at maybe 20 contacts on average. Right now, we're seeing 700 tests and isolations daily. That would mean a maximum of 10,800 people in isolation over 14 days. We have more than that today. Just look at how many we had back in November.

And all of this happens while stores and cafes remain open.

With only 35 new infections a day, you can overlook minor inaccuracies. With 700 mandatory tests, you run into immediate queues and chaos.

Some countries have much more experience with this. Fortunately, we don't.

Personally, I think this whole phone thing is stupid, especially since not everyone owns one. Wouldn't it be simpler to just have a numbered ID on your hand to solve the problem? Or in this tech age, maybe a QR code on the skin or some kind of chip?

I’d suggest the German folks design something like that; they actually know how to get things done.

I’m on the board of directors for a local sports club, and I also pull double duty as one of their coaches. My compensation for both roles? Exactly zero dollars.

Don't go thinking every oversight board operates like the ones you see making headlines in the news.

Hey everyone. I'm pretty much a rookie when it comes to running a CNC mill. So far, I've mostly stuck to 2D cutting and some basic 3D modeling—though honestly, most people call it 2.5D since the bottom stays flat—based on existing photos. For my 2D stuff, I’ve been using Rhino to do the drawing, saving it as a .dxf, then pulling it into ArtCAM to generate the .tap or the toolpath for the machine.

Here's the question: Does anyone actually know how to take a 3D design made in Rhino and turn it into a .tap file? And more importantly, which software should I even be using?

I already tried the advice of saving the drawing as an .stl or stereolithography file and opening it in ArtCAM, but that was a total bust. It didn't work at all.

I'm honestly worried that once people finally step out from behind their computer screens and face reality, they're gonna end up like that guy in the news—the one whose mom had to bail him out of a total mess because he couldn't handle himself. 🤣

No. You’re just acting like this federal recovery fund—which is basically nothing more than American charity—is some kind of groundbreaking miracle, and you actually think everyone else sees it that way too.

Quincy:

I don't know what you want from me. What exactly am I supposed to do with just a username? Are we playing games now? Give me something real to work with. kaže: I don't get why you won't just stop at the first part of your post and admit you're right. Why isn't your entire argument based on the fact that people actually need to put in the work to make progress and fix things? By adding this second half, you're just contradicting everything you said in the beginning.

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time: since the war ended, this country has essentially split into two different worlds. You have one small faction that embraced capitalism and views the USA simply as a massive marketplace. Then you have the much larger group that stayed stuck in a socialist mindset. They look at both the capitalists and the USA as nothing more than a cash cow—something they can milk dry until they eventually have to either beg for scraps or face the consequences.
Look, the first part doesn't contradict the second. It just highlights the two types of people living in this country: the freeloaders and the workers. The problem is that the ratio is constantly shifting in favor of the freeloaders, and they’re the ones voting for this kind of government.
Amanda Diaz:

I don't know what to tell you. Is anyone actually listening anymore? It feels like we're just shouting into a void while everything falls apart around us. Why does it always have to be this way? kaže: If you look at how this forum peaks during business hours, maybe that’s actually part of the problem.

I don't know about you and your habit of writing during business hours, but I'm the only one who ends up feeling the consequences of that kind of work.

rustywalker82 said:Once the US starts pulling in those massive billions through federal stimulus packages and infrastructure grants, suddenly nobody’s going to complain about people losing out. You won't hear anyone crying about how the kids, the youth, or the struggling folks in our local communities are getting screwed over when that money starts flowing.

All of a sudden, everyone who was acting like a hero becomes strangely quiet. It’s funny how nobody happens to think of those same arguments right when the cash hits the table. 😬
Does anyone remember that old song? You know, the one that goes, "Now you're gone, and I'm just sitting here alone"? 🙂

Personally, I despise everyone here who stands there with their hand out, begging for crumbs from the European Union masters, and then has the nerve to celebrate it as some kind of achievement when they toss you two scraps instead of one. I despise that we've managed to turn a nation—one that should be capable of leading a war effort and managing hundreds of thousands of refugees—into this.

But hey, it's perfectly clear that you people aren't capable of anything better.

Chloe Robinson5 said:And? You ever see when things were actually good for the little guy? In the US, it was like 1950 to the 70s, then everything just tanked again

Sent from my Samsung using Reddit

Corporations have been running the US for the last hundred years, not just since the 70s. So, your whole point is totally off base.

By the way, the biggest winners during these lockdowns are the corporations—they’ve never been richer or more powerful. Lockdowns are destroying small and medium-sized businesses. These are the exact same businesses you so eloquently claimed the government would protect by taking on a larger role—the very same ones the government wiped out by shutting them down.

Chloe Robinson5 said:Yeah, totally. China is screwed too, along with Norway and Switzerland... you can just go ahead and do whatever you want under those "free market" rules there. Just try it...

What are you even talking about? A free market doesn't mean you get to act like there are no rules. A free market means the government sets consistent laws and then stays out of your private business. That’s exactly how it works in places like Norway and Switzerland.

Sure, China is in deep trouble. But why don't you try thinking for a second? Why do you think every single worker on the Golden Gate Bridge construction crew could live comfortably on an average American salary?

I’ve been digging into some 20th-century history lately. It turns out that almost every nation that stayed out of people's private business ended up seeing a massive explosion in social programs by the end of the century—levels of spending we've never seen before because they actually had the capital to back it up.

The others? They couldn't afford a damn thing.

Take a small family business making a billion dollars a year; those owners are probably praying to whatever higher power they believe in just to keep the government's hands off their money.*

*I might be biased here, speaking from my own experience.

Chloe Robinson5 said:All that's true, but you gotta be poor your entire life for it to actually shorten your lifespan, not just deal with 2 or 3 bad years out of 78. Plus, I think this shows the government stepping up in the economy more, which maybe isn't all bad (not talking about America specifically, just globally). Look, I think the measures are ridiculous, especially how they play out here, but globally we might be seeing a shift that isn't necessarily a total disaster. Even imperial empires collapsed and things ended up better for the little guy than before. Plenty of examples out there...

Oh, sure. Because clearly, the wealthiest nations on Earth are the ones where the government runs the show. You know, like America, Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea... Why would a single owner of an HS product even bother thinking about their business when someone like Plenković can take better care of it for them?

People are literally lining up just to get a glimpse of those "paradises" where capitalism is left completely unchecked.

mellowskipper said:In my opinion, this is a matter for the Supreme Court. People are being stripped of their right to work without even a two-thirds vote from Congress—which is the only body actually authorized to amend the Constitution.
Instead, we have this quasi-governmental entity calling itself a task force dictating everything to us.

The same Supreme Court that ruled everything was fine, even though Article 17 couldn't be any clearer?

Maybe one day the majority will finally wake up and realize what that task force and a few political cronies in that court have actually done. I doubt it, but I'll leave that possibility open.

Here you go, Nancy Martin36. By the way, feel free to brag to everyone in town about how you were riding around in a Long Island.

Stop trolling the thread. I don't think the neighbor was actually offended by having sex with a farm girl. Honestly, maybe just mentioning a John Deere gave him some kind of trauma.

Alright, pinky, you think you can just go everywhere

Tudum is just a cheap imitation of sedmica e🤣

Seriously, what a complete joke.

Thanks, Charles Fox10. I took a look, and it turns out that user was banned, which actually answers my initial questions perfectly.

Since this whole thread was supposed to be direct responses from the moderators regarding the packaging criteria, I’m genuinely curious how many points this completely irrelevant post above is actually going to score. There is already a dedicated thread for showing off to the mods, and this isn't it.

Just trying to figure out how I'm supposed to behave on this forum, you know?👍

You guys are all talk. It’s easy to sit there and judge when you aren't the ones actually doing the work. It isn't easy to face something that's supposed to be your daily grind.
