European guy, weird by default.

You dislike what I say, great. Makes the world a more interesting of a place. But try to disagree with me beyond a downvote. Argue your point. Let's see if we can reach a consensus between our positions.

  • Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it.

  • My two takes on this:

    1. food is fuel

    I can and do subsist on a basic and bland diet if necessary. Food is a way to preserve my existence, so I have to eat. And when hungry I will eat anything for the sole sake of keep myself functioning. Some exceptions do apply.

    1. we're biologically hardwired to seek pleasure from our food

    That is why sugary food and more simply fruits and berries appeal so much to us: it's sweet, it tastes good, it's nice.

    We actively seek enjoyement in eating. When this no longer happens, worry yourself. Even old people enjoy eating.

  • Relax. Relax.

    It is just a typo.

    Let us laugh together of it.

    It's staying as it is.

  • Did you attend your parents' wedding?

    Jump

  • Technically, unless adoption or donated eggs come to play, 50% of all of us attended the parents wedding, as an ovule inside our mothers ovary.

    Then again, some couples never marry. So, there's another exception.

    To answer your question: 50% of me was there at the occasion.

  • Why does Arch seem to have a cult like following?

    Jump

  • The Arch users being so vocal is more of a trope to me. Never fails to make me smile.

    Ubuntu started as a great endeavour. They made Linux much more approachable to the less tech inclined user.

    It is an achievement to get a distro capable of basically work out of the box that hides the hard/technical stuff under the hood and delivers a working machine, and they did it and popularized Linux in the process.

    Unfortunately, they abused the good faith they garnered. The Amazon partnership, their desktop that nobody really enjoyed, the Snap push. These are the ones I was made aware of but I risk there were more issues.

    I was a user of Ubuntu for less than six months. Strange as it may sound, after trying SUSE and Debian, when I actively searched for a more friendly distro, I rolled back to Debian exactly because Ubuntu felt awkward.

    Ubuntu is still a strong contributor but unless they grow a spine and actually create a product people will want to pay for, with no unpopular or weird options on the direction the OS "must" take, they won't get much support from the wide user community.

  • Would you become romantically involved with someone with vastly different religious views?

    Jump

  • I'm laic.

    What beliefs a person holds to themselves is indiferent to me. And it should not matter to anyone. Relationships are a negotiated endeavour, from both parts, where everyone gives a little to reach a mutual understanding.

    Unless a person subscribes views capable of leading to individual, personal and socially harmful and regressive thought and action, it does not matter.

    Removing the religious view from your question: would you date a vegan, not being one? Would you date a non vegan, being yourself one?

    Zealotry goes both ways. Both the believer and the non believer can entrench themselves in their views so deeply they become fanatics.

  • Advice on a CAD solution

    Jump

  • I took it as a good humoured take ad I answered it in the same fashion.

    I could, in fact, draw the entire thing on paper. Technical drawing was taugh to me in school and I took quite well to it; I still like to draw today but more as an artistic expression.

    Although I wouldn't consider what I make as artistic under any light.

    But my original still holds. Yes, I could. But I would have to make everything from scratch every single time we wanted to try an idea.

    Not really practical.

    I'm going to look into LibreCAD and FreeCAD. Seem to be the most promising solutions.

  • I could but it would be a hassle to draw from scratch an entire blueprint every time some idea came to us to improve the space. Hence, the digital option.

    So, old but not that old.

  • They don't. :) First place I asked. The house is so old it still falls under a exemption to have blueprints deposited at the municipality. In fact, it wasn't even built with blueprints.

  • Advice on a CAD solution

    Jump

  • I understand your concern and advice.

    My house was built using a logic that only the outter walls, which are stone on the ground floor and cement block on the top floor, are load bearing.

    These will not be touched, besides removing and replacing old mortars.

    On the inside, all the walls are for show, made of wood I want to reclaim and a couple that were built in clay bricks but that have no load bearing capability nor structural role.

    Drawing the blueprints as the house exists today will serve to have a birds eye view of the house to work on, even with professionals, if the need arises in the future.

    This sort of house is not considered interesting for professionals in my area; the structure is too simple and can not accomodate that many changes. And because I'm not rebuilding but just renewing, no projects, licenses or consultancy is required. This makes this kind of job not very appealing.

    And thank you for reminding me that electrical and water plants are a thing, aswell.

  • I don't think the creators of the Sims designed the game with that in mind but if works, it is not stupid.

  • Unusual solution but I can see it working! Most definetely.

    But I do require some degree of accuracy on what I intend to do, so FreeCAD is lining up be the best solution, taking from the answer I'm getting.

    The house is old and drawing an as much as humanly possible accurate blueprint would be a plus. And I do have some very weird angles in it.
