Yep my idea was that the grandparents have a house (paid off, no cost etc) and the others live there.

Regarding your other arguments, the Balkan cities are a bit unique in the sense that we have Roma people living in close proximity. And to see how they live without a single care is eye opening. To say favela is a compliment, they live in shacks, don’t have stable work, live day to day… yet have 3+ children each.

Not without issues of course, but it’s a stark reminder that while far from ideal, they still have kids. Their (and the kids’) quality of life is terrible, it’s not an issue to procreate.

Long topic for here, but if you’re interested check out a movie called “Gypsy Magic”, it shows their life and their daily trickery to survive (not a documentary).

What’s the alternative? I personally don’t want to not have kids, whatever the cost.

I understand the position of others and it’s logically valid, but for me it’s a line I’m not willing to cross - for beliefs, personal reasons etc.

I feel like we give too much importance to mortgages/financials, like a learned excuse. Let me tell why.

I’m from the Balkans, and for a time here when money was tight (breakup of Yugoslavia, but maybe even long before), a lot of families lived together in small apartments. For example, two families (grandpa+grandma & their son+wife+kids) in a 50m2 apartment. The big family took the son’s bedroom, grandparents slept in the living room. Sure, it’s not perfect, but people did it. Same story happened in villages, and even it was the standard for some time.

So, whenever I see this argument I say we’re too posh in thinking it. There are different less comfortable ways to start a family and have kids, we just don’t want to do it.

For reference, now in my country everywhere new apartments are built (overbuilding the main city in the process, but different topic), yet prices are still soaring especially relative to the average salary. So same issue of high prices like everywhere.

Yet no one here thinks about the other option. The same argument from the linked article applies - too much comfort.

The Fusion implementation sucks. A spreadsheet is a far more natural way to do this, Im surprised FreeCad is doing it better than the paid variant.

Source on this?

I mean I’d like this to be true, but for brands that are younger than a 30yo Corolla (thats still running), its a big statement to make.

There is a chicken/egg problem.

We should be happy it has a solution.

I would argue it disrupted engineering. So many videos on YouTube can be found of people cutting out expensive molds (for example) and getting a product to market faster and cheaper. And this is happening in companies as well (Prusa released an enterprise grade printer not long ago).

At the same time, Printables and MakerWorld are flooded with…toys. They gamified their platforms and a ton of “thingy” models, ex. generic planter pots (some of them just renders, never even printed!) is the result.

This certainly hides the benefit but I very much think it’s there.

Actually a super cool project! I hate not having a browser in my tmux, so if this can give me one it will be quite the feat.

Also, there is an open branch for porting to electron (so adblocking and different extensions can be used), but it’s dead in the water. If anyone knows electron well enough…

It’s a PITA to extract a stateful react component to a standalone piece of code that can be inserted in a random place (in another page, served via API etc.). Not sure about Svelte, but achieving this in React was unexpectedly hard/impossible in our use case.

I thought the same. But try to zoom in on the eyes, you’ll notice fascinating details.

I wanted to check out what it outputs, but I have to enter an email address for the workout to be generated.

This kills the tool for me.

Check out the city of Skopje, Macedonia in the pre 2000s period (max 2010s) for a brutalist-but-good architecture.

Post 2014 it got “updated” with baroque architecture - as most of the brutalist buildings were covered in plaster. Worst decision.

History: The whole city got destroyed in a massive earthquake in 1963. After that it got rebuilt following an architectural plan by a Japanese architect- Kenzo Tange.

In my opinion the city center got the most beautiful buildings at the time - the “City Wall” wrapping around the central square, the building of the “Macedonian opera & ballet” etc.

At the same time the “small city” spirit was preserved - the old Turkish Bazaar, family houses 5min walking distance from the center; and even amplified with the donated “barrack houses” from the worlds nations.

For those interested check out the video “Skopje 1979” on YouTube.

All this is available on an iPhone, including wifi, cellular, bluetooth, airplane mode, hotspot and airdrop control.

But maybe that’s beside the point, I’m interested why you see this as a bad thing?
