man, that would be a cool option though. You could also print patterns and then knit or sew together stuffed versions of your tanks using those
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

in F360 rotate to look down each access,
screen shot -> paint,
in paint expand/shrink to actual measurement.
print
enjoy!
If it's not hard it can't be real work. (I'm sure somebody famous said that.)

Well, we all knew that. That's what Excel's for.
BUT (there's always a 'but') surely MS could do better than this:-
3.08 - 3 = 8.00000000000001E-02
Yes, yes, I do know why, but I don't think it's rocket science to fix, and if it is, then it must be the kind that got the Hubble mirror -ed up.

It is amazing how often metaphors and similes are confused.

When that happens, I settle for a simile.

People suggesting I stick to similes... what are you like?

inspired by Bill Woodruff's prev message (and just in case others have the same)
stupid new Android phone kept on losing my calendar entries (old phone was fine for years)
I'd duly re-create the entries, and after some random interval later would disappear again.
today resolved to try and fix it.
(and yes, sync -> google calendar is enabled, entries showed up multiple in gcalendar, but lost from phone)
searching the google (and others): lot's of people same problem (since some android update...)
lots of the same stupid advice (just like microsoft forums): enable sync, confirm on gcalendar, click sync now - you know, all the simpleton textbook responses that never fixes sh*t.
....finally a single reference to another article on something else
turns out in: app permissions -> storage -> calendar: it was disabled. (why??)
so adding entries was fine; and the random lossage? reboot / shut down for sure, but also more often: just because.

Everytime someone in the family got an update in the last times, something stop working as it used to and I had to get through the full settings again to put the switches as they were, at least the ones I remember / recognise again (it wouldn't be the first time I don't find a setting because it was renamed / moved to other place)
It pisses me off to unexpected limits.

Go to settings, and turn off the "Android shall randomly fail" option.

in sum: a Win 10 update has, evidently, made all my user folders readonly, and permissions can't be changed.
note: i post this here because i think the issue goes beyond specific code used here to illustrate the issue.
Lo and behold, some serialization code using DataContractSerializer (worked fine two months ago) that creates a file on the desktop throws a "file not found exception" when creating a new FileStream.
using (var writer =
new FileStream(filename1, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
dcs.WriteObject(writer, instance);
} So:
1 verify the directory exists. i know the File does not exist because i delete it if it does exist.
2 try using File.Create to create the Stream, experiment with all the various params to 'new FileStream'
3 scratch my head
4 a suspicion dawns that permissions on the Directory have changed. yep: iit's readonly: i change permissions on the Directory: they immediately revert back to readonly.
5 Turns out that a Win update has made everything on my primary drive readonly.
6 go google and find ... yep ... other people are having the same problem after an update: [^]
7 try the various remedies suggested in the above link: they don't work.
8 post on Lounge
9 scratch head

Bill,
You would need to enable or disable controlled folder access[^] to prevent this from happening again in the future.
The problem here is that the operating system needs to protect 80 year old grandmothers, your kids, your lawyer, the scientists in your office building while annoying most of the software engineers and power users.

Thanks, David, you nailed it !
Disabling the ":controlled access" setting, and re-booting: now, i can write to the file.
i had not thought of a possible Win Defender change as the demon at work, here; my long-term sub to EmsiSoft AV just expired, and i guess Win Defeater took over. Interesting i didn't see any Google hits mentioning Win Defender in my searching.
Also, interesting, the Desktop folder i am using still shows up as readonly, and undoing that setting does not persist: it goes back to readonly
Please come to Chiang Mai, and let me take you for a bowl of the famous northern Thai noodles called kao soi (your choice of beef, chicken, or fish; it's customarily a halal dish, so no pork in the really old establishment i go to)
cheers, Bill

I was out with 5 friends. Then the friend from New Zealand managed to get poked in the eye with an asian chopstick. Pretty soon we'll have to call them 4 eyes.

I'm considering writing a B+ tree in C# but in order to make it worthwhile it needs to be disk backed.
My question is, and it's a weird one but i have my reasons:
Did Btrieve use separate files for its indexes versus its data or was it all in one file?
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I remember it very good. Everything was in _one_ file.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
