That's a good start, but just a start. There is probably at least ten times as much...

The question is: Will they put the tax dodgers behind bars where they belong?

If he wants to fool anyone, he needs to work on the smotthness of his control circuits for the magnets under the table. The movements are so jerky, it's not even a challenge to see it's fake.

Name and shame that crappy backwards university.

"worms it's way into"? Boy, you're late, that worming has been done ages ago. It laid its eggs, and they did hatch already.

LG recently had a nice set of stripped-down-to-monitor TVs, i.e. TVs without that "smart" crap. Available in TV sizes, but none of the junk that spouts ads or intrudes into your privacy.

I'm not sure they are not sending their best. When looking at people like Ron de Santis or Mike Johnson, I actually like the idea of them sending an imbecile into the race instead of a crazy but potentially capable candidate.

Amazing. Given Boeings recent track record, I didn't expect it to do that.

Well, let him run head-first into this trap of his own making. Let the nation decide when Harris can address all given issues with ease and coherent sentences while Trump produces random gibberish.

Well, yes, that was the goal from the very beginning. Pol Pot would be so proud of Nethayaho.

A psychologist might have helped, if consulted before the delusion had set in that deep...

If the US takes down all the Russian propaganda channels, who will be left to speak for Trump?

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
