Patron Saint of Boundless Patience

Give me perceptiveness to recognize ignorance.
Lend me the calm to respond each time as if it were the first.
Let me see "not knowing" as an opportunity to learn.
Let me never forget that I too can be ignorant.

Let me not forget to thank my teachers.
And to teach not smite, or scream or cry.

It's not that great of a prayer but it is a start I guess.

Another day, another read through a whole-ass design system mired in *custom* "CSS-in-JS" tools that perform like crap. We will be digging out from the React community's lack of understanding about how browsers actually work for at least another decade, I fear.

My mother is in need of a new computer (old hardware is failing), and she's a long term user of Windows. Given the way Microsoft is deploying Windows against people and coercing them, I'm having misgivings about getting her a Windows 11 machine. It's like you have to be perpetually on guard whether your online or whether your just using your computer.

There's a couple of Windows only programs she uses, so Linux isn't a simple replacement. :(

So tired of this industry.

@babe As Christmas approaches, Santa has thousands of seasonal elves working in his factories on zero hours contracts, making toys, mucking out the reindeer, mending the sleigh, and performing a million other tasks that keep the Christmas machine well-oiled.

The rest of the year, he runs with a skeleton staff.

Hey resident #openscad experts!

I'm looking for a way to deform 3d shapes. In this particular case I have a rounded cuboid, that I want to bend upwards at a certain angle and position.

Is there any (more or less generic) way to achieve this with OpenSCAD (and maybe BOSL2)?
