Hi c/FreeCAD, totally newbie here! I'm having a ton of fun learning FreeCAD, but I have a small question. I know the toponaming problem is going away soon, and maybe that makes this kind of irrelevant, but I'd still like to know.

Sometimes when I'm watching or reading guides on avoiding the toponaming problem, the person will say something along the lines of: "actually this technique is also more professional/proper/correct anyway, real engineers do it this way." Basically that the methods that avoid the problem are also just best practices in general. But they always say that as kind of an aside, and I wish they'd say more! What makes those methods better? Does anyone have any suggestions for articles or videos about this?

For one example, there was one guide that suggested you should use a datum plane instead of referencing one of the object's surfaces. I understand the toponaming problem well enough to get why referencing a surface can cause it. However, the person in the guide used the same surface that would have been referenced, as the attachment point for the datum plane. Why does that not produce the same issue?

These were delicious and so simple! Split peas are really cheap, we mostly just wanted to test out how they would do as a flour. The only ingredients here are pea flour, water, salt and seasonings. It's not even leavened at all and it's still super tasty. Plus the color is just really novel and fun. I think it would be amusing to use this to make a zucchini or cucumber bread.

Peas seem to be less common as a flour than some other legumes, i.e. chickpeas, lentils, soy, etc. I figured maybe try looking for Indian recipes instead, since legume flours are more popular there, but even then peas seemed pretty under-represented compared to like urad, moong, etc.

Anyway, I dunno where you'd buy the flour itself, but if you've got a cheapy hand-crank grain mill these grind up pretty easy. 10/10, would reccomend.

EDIT: it's back up!!! ❤

Maybe they're doing maintenance or something, I hope. I should have thought ahead and followed whoever maintains it on another platform, so I could find out what's going on in situations like this. Oops lol

I wish I'd taken a picture... I saw a ditto just chillin' totally undisguised, so I caught it. You know how with a disguised ditto, it does the whole "Oh, what's this? It was actually a ditto!" thing? Well after I caught this undisguised ditto, it did that and turned into a Zorua instead!

I tried briefly googling this phenomenon and found a single mention of somebody seeing an untransformed ditto in the wild, but they didn't catch it, and nobody in the comments had an explanation. What in the world just happened?

Can't believe none of these have been posted yet lol.

This time of year, there's a zillion of these loudly and clumsily zooming around right outside my backdoor. They're very curious about everything that moves; they'll just like stare you down, hovering a foot in front of your face. Too cute!! They are also kinda eating the landlords mudroom... but so slowly that I'm pretty sure it hardly matters? You just can't be mad at these little fuzzballs! Worth it for the pollination anyway.

I got these as bare-root saplings a couple years old, and planted them last year. One actually bloomed and produced some berries the same year I planted it! These things sure are prolific. This year, they're all already blooming.

I tried a couple things with the handful of berries from last year, i.e. just eating them raw, making juice, jam, etc. Raw was (somewhat predictably) not very good, but the juice and jelly were great. Also, while I don't at all mind supplementing the diets of local fauna, it was nice that the birds actually left us some! Unlike my elderberries, which they picked clean so fast we didn't get a single one lol.

This system is really cool, but it seems like not that many people are playing it. I think the name "suited" is probably not helping the matter... While clever, it makes it kinda hard to google.

It's somewhat of a "rules-lite" type, with all the pros and cons that come with that. One of those cons being that most things are sort of up to the GM's judgement, and I am very new to GMing. With a lot of other similarly rules-lite systems, there's a community offering their experiences and things they found helpful. Suited doesn't seem to have much of that, but maybe some people here have played it and would like to share?

Trying to get the hang of celtic tatting, just working freehand for now. Real celtic tatting patterns are surprisingly uncommon! There are a lot of cool faux ones, but those won't teach me to use these shuttles. It doesn't look very good at all, trying to keep in mind it's just for practice.

This was a perfect project for getting the very basics of tatting down. Every time I made a mistake I just kept plowing ahead, rather than getting frustrated trying to fix it. Now that the motions feel more natural, it'll be easier to advance, maybe? The pattern is from Urban Knot Design. Even though it's chock full of mistakes, I still wet blocked it and will find some use for it somewhere.

Probably a really obvious question, sorry.

I've been using RFF's recommended app (RadioDroid2), but that's all I use that for, and generally I'd rather just use one app for music than two.

I keep learning the bare minimum of tatting and then getting frustrated and giving up... This time I'm gonna stick with it! Please forgive all the horrendous mistakes lol.

Are Lisbeth and DMC the only people left making cordonnet? I'd really like to try more appropriate thread but it seems to barely exist!

File here. This is almost definitely not the best one that anyone's designed, but at least it's a little unique!

The holder parts bend apart to snap brushes in and out, and there's a little shelf above to put your toothpaste on. The shelf has print-in-place hinges so you can print the whole thing flat with no support and it all works with no assembly.

We put this together for my public library's makerspace. I have a bunch of issues with the design, but it does work so what can I say really. Specifically it's this one.

Patrons can use it for whatever they want, i.e. melting dissolvable supports faster, culturing bacteria, etc.

Sorry this isn't actually foraging per se, but the only kind of people who'd grow these are probably foragers anyway. I've been growing them for a couple years, but this is the first year I had enough to bother trying to eat them! From two plants we got about 1/2 a cup.

So my question is, does anyone have any tips for actually eating these things?? We tried soaking them for 24 hours and boiling them for 2 hours, and they were still inedibly bitter! I'm thinking maybe brining them, an alkaline soak, splitting them all in half, and/or swapping out the cooking water a few times. At least one of those ought to work hopefully. It'll have to wait till next year though, we wasted these ones lol.

It went down maybe about a month ago or so, and I haven't heard anything about what might've happened to it. I'm bummed because that's been my main way of listening to music for a while now.

Specifically this font, although I've tried a few. Specifically in HashLink.

Anyone have any tips or best practices when it comes to fonts and FlxText in general? The default font looks great, but I'm finding that just about every other font I try looks kind of terrible. Like sort of grainy, I guess? The default one looks very crisp in comparison. Also, any non-default font that I put in a FlxButton seems to be vertically way off-center, raised up too high.
