  • it made no sense to me

    That’s all CAD software. You can’t just jump in and intuitively learn it by just doing it. It’s like trying to learn a programming language. You need a solid tutorial to explain the basics, at a minimum. Even with something simple like TinkerCAD.

    FreeCAD was probably the worst choice. Give TinkerCAD a try. I know the FOSS community will hate me for saying this, but I like Autodesk Fusion for a full featured CAD package. It has a very steep learning curve, like all CAD software, and you need to watch some videos first. You will make a ton of mistakes and do even simple things wrong at first, but once you get going, it’s great to use.






  • Everything I’ve seen and read says exercise won’t actually change how many calories you burn in a day. It’s still super healthy to do, but does not replace a calorie deficit.

    Your anecdote seems to support that. You burned up all your blood sugar by biking 10 miles and then almost passed out. So now you’re just going to laze around for hours burning fewer calories than you would have during that time had you not exercised.

    I’ve dieted before and always embraced the “eat your exercise calories” idea. Exercise is good for your body, but any calories spent doing it should be eaten as extra food outside of your normal calorie goals.
