  • You could also probably use Inkscape to get DXF files for both sides of the coin, making sure the size is right and that the path accommodates the width of your letters/strokes. Then, hypothetically, you should be able to import the files as drafts and then convert them to sketches with the press of a button (in reality, this crashes FreeCAD for me lately, but it could be a quirk of my setup). If you’ve already modeled the coin itself and use the new sketches to pocket into the existing solid, IIRC it should work okay. FreeCAD would not extrude a non-contiguous sketch into multiple solids, but I think it’s fine as long as the end result is still a single body.

    Geese must be so pissed off at their ancestors for evolving away from teeth, like when you accidentally navigate away from that smart, insightful, humorous comment and it disappears. “FUCK! Now I have to completely start over and it’s never gonna be as good.”

    Now the meta question is, is this version 1 or 2 of my gooseteeth comment?




  • “Made with real juice” does not mean it was made with the juice on the label. For example, a pineapple fruit juice may be more apple juice than actually pineapple juice

    This gave rise to an amusing misunderstanding in our house. My wife asked for “Cranberry Juice, but 100% juice, not the cocktail; that’s too sweet.” I dutifully went to our store and found the Cranberry Juice cocktail, and also the juice that was mostly apple and white grape juice, because that’s always what they use here when they can. I thought, surely this must be very nearly as sweet, and kept looking. I eventually found the small, expensive bottle of 100% cranberry juice with no other juices and no sugar added.

    This was a mistake.

    Pure cranberry juice is not popular as a casual beverage for a reason. It is nasty. It tastes like I imagine the least dangerous acid kept behind the counter at the chemistry lab supply company tastes: safe for human consumption, but just barely and definitely deserving to be there behind the counter.

    That’s about right. Was once at a pool and had some fries. Damn grackle was stealing them. I didn’t see that it had walked through them or anything, so I thought, “okay I’ll throw a napkin over the rest.” Nope. Little fucker sauntered up and pulled the napkin right off them.

    I have also been intimidated into giving them pizza crust, and I have heard stories of a one-legged grackle landing in a plate of nachos mid-meal and just KA-CAW’ing at everybody until they let him have them.
