🇺🇸 US: California health officials shorten COVID isolation period to 1 day.

"California health officials have shortened the COVID-19 isolation guidelines for those who test positive as the department aims to focus more on people who are the most at risk of severe illness while also working to minimize school and workplace disruptions."

I'm angy :<

I'm a sucker for good gin, and I really like bears.
So imagine my excitement when I find a beautiful bottle of gin that has a nice bear on it, whos name is a pun on bear and berry AND the seller describes it as sweet and fruity, that just hits all the right points for me.
I was about to buy it when I realized they put FUCKING GLITTER IN IT

WHY

who puts GLITTER in a drink?!
It's ugly, unnecessary and sucks :(

@fediverseobserver huh very curious... Anybody got any idea why servers after county is so isolated for ? I mean in the you would think you would have a relatively even distribution of active servers. But Germany is with 4000 something first in the EU follows by France with 600 something she even less the Netherlands and Finland. Italy? Poland? Spain? Greece etc.

Or doesn't that statistic represent the real origin but only the country is hosted in?

Typical CDC! It issued an “official health advisory” to healthcare providers that “Low vaccination rates, coupled with ongoing increases in national and international respiratory disease activity caused by multiple pathogens, including influenza viruses, SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes ), and RSV, could lead to more severe disease and increased healthcare capacity strain in the coming weeks.”

But it tells the public: Wear “a well-fitting mask if you choose to wear a mask.” Why “if”?!?

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar

@augieray because telling people they"! Have to wear a mask!" Splits the country and is a public security risk and a call for riots.

Don't ask me why humans react that way but we have seen it in Europe, we also know the potential especially for republican primates to riot. I'm pretty sure CDC has been ordered to not enforce masks etc to keep the peace... Or they really are brain dead.

oh how disgusted iam by blind #fanboys. When teenagers defend a clearly shitty, buggy game that is made to exploit the gamer like the promise of #starcitizen . These idiots make it into IT when they grow up and keep this mentality. defending something terrible like a troll his pile of dung. There is no "using the software wrong". When you create a polygon with 5 mm x 5 mm and it ends with 4.99 mm x 4.99 mm ITS NOT THE USER! #fusion360

The blue surface is to merge with the left one.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar

for this, extrusion of the surface can be used. Cutting or extruding to the level of the gray surface on the left at which point they become one. Image shows that extrusion works, but we want the same level, so we click on the gray surface and the blue will move to align at the same level.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar


oh, what is that?
apparently the distance to level to the other surface is " -8.5616E-05 mm " so thats −85.616 nanometers! So besides the fact that i only show 4 digits after the comma i get here digits in the picometer range. mhh okay, very percise.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar

uh...okay, we did click okay, and somehow the surface is now just missing. its gone. you can see it is just fully removed, deleted.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar


okay, undo, lets try moving the surface by really just moving the surface lower, like we did see we can do with the extrusion tool. its not what we want, but we try it anyway.

oh..."Error: The operation could not create a valid result.
Try adjusting the values or changing the inputs.
" thats strange.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar


lets try the press / pull tool.

?!ah...okay, seems like our small blue surface is somehow hooked to the gray area alread? making the gray surfaces move to positions they shouldnt be able to because surfaces on the other side should be blocking it to prevent impossible geometry.

pulling it down now shows that there is something pretty terrible wrong with what the software did.

pulling down

#fusion360

well i didnt design this part to have an invisible endless long additional surface or what ever this is.no value, parameter or whatever i ever did was to insert any values or move something so it could produce such an error.

So yes, you can say iam using fusion360 wrong and say it isnt intended to do these things, which the moderators and the #support from #autodesk #fusion360 is actually doing.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar

i do quite simple modeling. drawing sketches mainly as starting surfaces and then extrude them to give them volume. Draw another sketch on the volume to cut out a part to shape my volume. that is pretty intuitive and works the same in any 3d modeling application. To have this here as a result should never ever happen, its the tools programmed and given by the developer that produced this and even if its my fault, they dont have answers for it.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar


unwilling to look into it and reproduce the errors (yes, its just one of many pretty bad faults that have been there for years). Which points to a fault deep in fusion360s core programing.

having pulled the part now down further and clicked okay actually works. the gray surface we wanted to fuse it to acutally moved with it.

we measure and for somewhat reason is shows the angle between both furfaces as 179.9973°?! just a glimpse how flawed their snap function is.

Birk_lab,
@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar


the snap to grid or point etc. is especially funny when doing sketches, as 3D or 2D sketching, when locking on a point that is exactly 10mm away and the visual show the snap to point indicator to which your cursor is actually draged to once you get close enough ( so you cant move to 9,8mm as it will always jump to 10mm) but the issue is actually that its almost NEVER 10mm. but measuring afterwards manually reveals it snapped to a point slightly off. so 10mm become 11.5mm.

Birk_lab,

#fusion360
So if you are looking into getting into fusion360 DONT! go with #freeCad use #blender . And best stay away from any #autodesk software as a company that wants 600€ for a timed licence where such basics dont work and get messed up is just bullshitting.

I just wish i would have known that when our project started 2 years ago.

as im still forced to keep using it,i will likely post more in the future. but now i feel relieved for the moment.

Dont defend obvious bullshit like a troll.

@Birk_lab@fediscience.org avatar

@andrewdessler I think what is missing here as well as everywhere else is something more solid. 3°C🤷 so what? Need are localized examples coz temp elevation isn't equally just 3° warmer. You can't grasp 3°C. But you can grasp that a previous localized high Temperature was 37°C for a few days and currently it's at 40°C. Then show that additional +1.5°C would mean 43°C(example). Then form the correlation that at 42°C proteins coagulate etc. I think 3°C is just too abstract for most people.

@drclareharris Although H. erinaceus is native to Europe, it has been red listed in 13 European countries due to poor germination and establishment.[citation needed] It is able to withstand cold temperatures and frost conditions.[12] H. erinaceus is scarce and threatened and is one of only four fungi to have the highest level of legal protection in the UK, making both picking and sale of the fungus illegal. It was added to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 in 1998.[15]
