@mrpablington @Azurakumo Trying to slam through the #Destiny2 Season of the Witch pass before #Starfield launches on the 6th.
#Caliper, this odd little platform game I got on #Steam for a buck
I might try to dip back into #Everspace even tho it crashed on me as I finished the first sector, but before the achieve popped which is never a good look for a game, even if it's a roguelike.

I found the instruction sheet for a manual #caliper and it has this picture in it. In Italian it says something like "Drawing centers". Does anyone know what they mean by it? Am I about to unlock a new way to use a caliper?

#AskFedi

Today's oddity: showed an actual degreed and employed #engineer how to use a cheap #Vernier #caliper to get accurate measurements down to 0.1mm.

Caveats: engineer is much younger than me, this was an old-school caliper without a dial or digital readout, their primarily field is fluid dynamics (so not a lot of calipers). And they understood the idea quickly.

But now I'm wondering this person would panic at the sight of a #slideRule. Tempting to throw one in the bag "just in case."

Kleines Samstags-Gadget mittels 3D-Druck: ein mehrteiliger und mehrfarbiger Ständer für einen Messschieber (found on #Thingiverse https://thingiverse.com/thing:4807344 ). Sowas total Überflüssiges mit mega Stylefaktor finde ich geil 🤩 #3ddruck #3dprint #caliper #mitutoyo

In other news: I bought a #Mitutoyo #caliper, which should be a once-in-a-lifetime investment (after spending too much money on cheap, uncalibrated knockoffs in past years).

I'm using it to design for #fdm and #sla #3dprinting, and #lasercutting.
