Any material, the software i'll be using has some basic material properties built-in, but theres room for customisation.

Size limitations - any sort of dimensions. Complexity - i could probably do a few mechanisms that are less than maybe 5-10 parts. Or else one large, say less than 50.

 

I'm a mechanical engineering student with a fairly open brief for a short project. Have to draw a 3D cad model of a mechanism and do some motion analysis. So i thought i'd ask the fine folk of slrpnk if they had any projects that need a bit of ironing out.

Probably best suited if you have an idea and want see how the parts might move in 3 dimensions. I'd be able to tell you stuff like how much force/torque is in a particular part, letting you know how strong bits need to be.

Has to be a mechanism of some sort that i draw from scratch - let me know what dimensions i need to accomodate. And i have to present it to the class.

 

I'm a big fan of stremio, just wondering if there's been development of an open source desktop app. I'd like to avoid the ads and the login component. https://blog.stremio.com/announcing-stremio-core-embracing-open-source-and-rust/

Have a look at Perplexity.ai for replacing Chatgpt. It provides sources for the information it gives you.

Thanks for that, i expected something a bit more lightweight, but i suppose its a fairly niche use case.

Will put out some feelers for a code

 

I'm trying to learn to play some folk tunes on mandolin. I'm looking for some software that will let me loop sections and change tempo (without changing pitch). To help learn by ear, i want repetition and then slowly build up speed.

I thought Audacity would do it but it looks like it is lacking the real-time component (or at least seems to be in its infancy) unless there's something i'm missing?

 

The Australien Labor Party has made an ad and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

 

Getting a ridiculous amount of avo's on the tree this year. In a rental so i'm not knowledgable about this. What's a good way to make the most of the season? Theyre staying green on the tree, and taking 1-2 weeks to ripen once picked atm. How long will they stay like this? I presume they start dropping off eventually, is that likely to happen all at once? Do they freeze well?

Somebody told me once that bicycles are the most efficient transfers of energy possible, from the calorific content (of food) to work done (km travelled). I'd like to see a similar style of energy analysis
