I need to model M37 x 0.75 thread. Fusion has only M38 and M36 built in.

I googled how to add it, and found that I should be able to do so via Utilities > Utility > Manage Thread Library. Except my fusion is not showing "Manage Thread Library" and the Assistant after suggesting I do it tells me this is being rolled out gradually and if it is not there, my version of Fusion has not received it. So why are you suggesting to use it, I hate AI.

Anyway, another method seems to be to manually edit an XML file, but the path to the file is provided for Windows systems, and I am on a Mac. The Assistant tried to suggest the equivalent path on Mac, but what it says does not exist (have I mentioned that I hate AI?).

Does anyone have a solution for that, other than manually modeling the thread?

Has anyone experienced that and, more importantly, found a solution?

This so aggravating, because I only use the headset for PC gaming, if Link doe snot work it is useless to me.

What happens is that I start PC Link, it shows the loading screen, the white meta logo on purplish background and white dots flying towards me, and nothing happens for at least a few minutes. It never gets to the semicircular menu at the bottom from where I can open the virtual monitor.

Of course, USB test passes, 2.1 to 2.3 Gbps, as always in my system.

Today it took me 20 minutes of PC restarts, headset restarts, cable disconnects and reconnects to make it work, and I have no idea what fixed it. And I missed my online game start which pissed me off I almost threw the headset at the wall. Tbf, maybe I should have done that and get myself something better than this Meta crap.

I tried a suggestion that I found online: switching Oculus runtime service from automatic start to manual start but it did nothing. Or I think so - this time after I switched it back to automatic and tried again, PC Link finally started, but it could have been a coincidence. The previous time it happened a few days ago I did not touch services, and it finally started anyway, after a random number of restarts and cable disconnects and reconnects.

Any suggestions, ideas?

Not using blinkers to indicate intention in advance is always bad. But this is the worst case.

Intersection with traffic lights, two or more lanes, left lane is left turn or go straight.

Red light.

People stop in the left lane without signaling. So you, wanting to go straight, stop behind them (because the right lane is less convenient later, or there are several cars there already). And it appears the person will drive straight, because they have no blinker on.

Light turns green.

Then the person turns their blinker on, moves 3 feet and stops because they have to let oncoming traffic by. And you are stuck behind them - because they were too lazy to signal their intention when it mattered.

Massively aggravating.

[USA] Hypothetical: Let's say I was stopped in a 30mph zone while going about 47.

If the cop asks me (a) do you know what the speed limit is?, (b) do you know how fast you were going? - what answers to these questions are most likely to help (A) to get only a warning (B) to get the ticket reduced or dismissed in court?

1. Complete honesty: I am sorry officer, (a) I know the speed limit is 30 and (b) I was going 47

2. Lie and pretend that in my mind I was following the law (but basically admit to not noticing the speed limit sign): (a) the speed limit is 45, isn't it (b) I am sure I wasn't going any faster than that.

3. Lie about my speed but not present myself as someone who missed the sign: (a) the limit is 30 (b) I am sure I wasn't driving any faster than 30. You're saying that you clocked me at 47? I think your clock is broken

4. Admit to something in-between (a) I am sure the limits is 40 (b) I know I was going faster than 40, you're saying 47? I guess that may have happened, I am sorry I went 7 over.

5. "I am exercising my constitutional right to remain silent, here is my license, registration and insurance, I will not answer any questions"

I am not asking for legal advice here, I was stopped for speeding once but that was a long time ago, and anyway the cop did not ask these questions. But I understand that sometimes they do ask them.

Not only it is pretty cowardly and shows their childish inability to admit they were wrong.

But usually commenters made significant effort to explain OP WHY the OP was wrong. They wrote logical explanations, constructed an argument, provided links to evidence. This is valuable knowledge that someone else could benefit from in the future. If the OP did not delete their post.

I play a PC VR game via USB cable, I have played it for years on Quest 3.

Yesterday, when playing the game, and random times usually after 5-20 minutes of play, the headset randomly switches to meta OS with a "you can resume at any time" message. Of course the game session is ruined, it's a dynamic game and I don't use Quest controllers. Even if I did, time needed to click on Resume would ruin the game anyway.

Anyone experienced that? Any solution? I updated and restarted everything I could, tried switching to stationary (no boundary, only floor level). It did not help

I am trying to talk to Meta support too, but the dumb AI thing of course could not help, and the estimated time to get to a human has not changed from "20 minutes" for at least 5 minutes. So I do not have high hopes.

Yeah, they are trying to trick us but I understand grams and ounces on labels, so it's ok.

What is annoying is that it derails my grocery shopping for specific purposes or recipes.

Like when hummus was in 10-oz packages, I would divide it in 3 and the size of such portion was perfect for me. Now it is 8 oz, and 1/3 is too small, but 1/2 is too big.

Or I make pasta with smoked salmon in cream/green peppercorn/dill sauce, and the standard 4 oz salmon package was perfect for two servings. Now my store carries only 3 oz packages forcing me to use 1 + 1/3 of a package, and find a use for the remaining 2/3.

Not home studio, but related. Apologies if wrong sub, feel free to direct me to a better one.

So I need to set up recording from two condenser microphones. Budget is lowish, and this is not about super high fidelity

I'd prefer to record into an existing audio interface which has only line inputs. Obviously, mic preamps with Phantom Power are needed.

What I am confused about:

- I can buy a USB audio interface with 2 mic preamps with Phantom Power for $70-$100

- I can buy a cheap analog mixer with 2 mic preamps with Phantom Power for $100

But if I want a standalone mic preamp with 2 channels, so something that is only a part of any of the above (no ADC, no complex, mixing paths, multiple knobs and sliders, etc), they start at $170-240.

Am I missing something?

Just curious. In these circumstances, is spark disabled as well, or is the engine making sparks in a cylinder with no fuel in it, only air?

After reading on installing over-the range microwaves, finding studs, drilling walls and cabinets, watching videos, I was still feeling bold and bought a new Samsung without installation.

I was prepared to put to work all that knowledge and the drillbits I bought especially for the occasion. Because the previous one was a 2011 GE, so no way anything would fit. (Incidentally, the GE kind of still works, but two crucial buttons on the control panel died, and it's the third control panel already, and not only I am fed up with buying control panels which cost almost as much as a new microwave, but the control model for this panel has been discontinued anyway).

Turns out there is a benefit from the fact that, as I heard, virtually all consumer microwaves of virtually all brands are made but one or two Chinese companies. The GE bracket fit the Samsung holes, the top screw holes fit as well, and the installation was a breeze.

Sorry this is not exactly about taxes, but kind of related and anyway this subreddit seems best suited to answer.

I am asking US citizens who permanently moved to another country after spending a significant part of their life in the US.

From that part of your life you have a Social Security account, a 401k, maybe US-based investment accounts, maybe you keep a US-based bank account, or life insurance, etc.

How do you handle anything related to these accounts without a US mailing address and a US phone? From my experience, even logging to their online systems usually requires authentication via a text message sent to US phone. US mailing address is also often used. Transferring money from a US bank overseas seems to require a visit to the bank in person.

How do you deal with all of that? Let's assume that you have no family or friends in the US that are close enough to give them PoA

When profiling a script I noticed that cd() calls in a loop take a lot of time. Different parts of the loop operated on files in different folders, hence cd()'s inside that loop.

I fixed it by adding full paths to file names instead of cd'ing.

I read though that matlab's cd is slow because it does not just change pwd, it also scans that directory for any matlab files. Is there a way around it, i.e. to change the default directory for save/load/fopen etc but suppress that scanning? Sometimes cd might more convenient than full paths
