"Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

@Raspberry_Pi @RealTimeKodi People will remember this sort of thing way more than you think. PIs are no longer a unique product in the market and this sort of hubris, rudeness and tone deafness will cost the company down the line.

This one is a thinker, but you'll be glad when you get it:

@SomeoneLew While a lot of the addons that people recommend reduce the time to do common tasks, I would highly recommend picking up @machin3io 's Mesh Machine as it adds some features that you just couldn't do in vanilla. The unf*ck, bool cleanup and unfuse tools are amazing.

@hartmanns_art @curtisjamesholt I think addon developers should be compensated for the work they put in and a thriving addon ecosystem is a sign of a thriving community. I’m sure some of the best addon ideas may eventually merge with Blender but remember every bit added is a bit that someone needs to maintain.

@jstevewhite For the most part, the world is held together with duct tape and spreadsheets.

@refriedspinach I just taught myself to use a mouse in my left hand. The bonus being you can scribble with your right hand while doing stuff with the mouse in your left.

@JenMsft @film_girl Houses designed for either extreme are pretty much the same, more insulation, either to keep heat in or out. It’s more about being used to coping with the heat and accounting for humidity. I moved from a hot country to a cold one and honestly I can’t handle the same heat now.

@MisterMakerNL_ Ooh awesome I need to check that out!

@driscollis pdb. I used to just use print statements but learning how to use pdb has been extremely worthwhile and I wish I’d made the effort earlier.
