  • To answer your question (and not just recommend another piece of software instead):

    Making a cylinder and deleting the cap faces makes what’s known as a non-manifold mesh. To my knowledge this means you can see the backfaces without travelling through any existing faces (in your case, you can see them by looking through the holes you made when you deleted the cap faces).
    That cylinder has walls that are theoretically infinitely thin, so you should thicken them up before attempting to print it. You can do this with a Solidify modifier. You can also extrude and scale them if you like, it achieves the same effect.

    Given a manifold mesh, your slicer will treat the inside (as in, the direction the backfaces are pointing) as solid, and you can change the density and infill pattern to whatever you like.

    Make a few of these shapes, both manifold and non-manifold, and see how your slicer reacts when you tell it to slice them.






  • Dark humour.

    Consider the following fictional situation:
    A news story comes out detailing a terrible tragedy where some people were stuck in a collapsed mine for months and that they had to eat one of their dead to survive. A horrible situation by all accounts. One of the miners is later interviewed and they mention how bad it was to have to eat someone. Someone then posts online saying this: “Next time it won’t taste so bad if you add some salt and pepper.”

    Is the person who made the post condoning cannibalism? Of course not. Was the comment in poor taste? Absolutely. (Pun not intended)







  • I haven’t read the article yet, but just going off the title, that makes sense?

    If someone is an independent, they’re clearly not happy with the way other parties are doing things. And not only are they not happy with them, they’re so unhappy that they are deciding to actively run against them. The fact they’d be negative towards the status quo is a logical conclusion. It’s like doing a study that finds that sand on a beach is, on average, wetter than sand in a desert.





  • I would say upvotes are thanks enough. But if you have something extra to say, then I’d say thanks in a comment and then give your extra information there.

    For example, just “Thanks! That was useful/entertaining/enlightening/etc.” as a comment is pretty pointless, as an upvote conveys that exact message. Nothing more and nothing less.
    If you have something more to say, then a comment would be appropriate. Perhaps something like: “Thanks! I did your X method with a bit of extra Y and now my car runs so much quieter!”.
    This is especially true if your extra information would be useful to others who may also be reading the thread.


  • Pyro@lemmy.worldtoUKCasual@lemmy.worldIs "crap" considered a bad word?

    Not sure what part of the UK you’re from, but that’s absolutely not the case (at least in the North West where I’m from).

    Crap is a bit of a crude word, but I don’t know anybody who would consider it being an actual swear word. For clarity, I’m using the definition of a swear word where it’s something you’d have to censor on public air.

    If someone said “dang” or “darn” around here, you’d get a raised eyebrow and everyone would just think you’re from the US because we just don’t use those words here.
