I never had these kind of performance issues at all. I use it on three different ThinkPads, all not too bad but also no crazy hardware. The cheapest should be an E14 with a AMD 5500U and 16 GB of RAM that was around 500€ 4 years ago.
Isn’t Fusion360 cloud-based? If so, it doesn’t make too much sense to compare the performance on a certain hardware.
I currently switch a lot between FreeCAD and Sims. When I brainstorm with my girlfriend we either use a simple drawing programm or Sims. Then, once we aligned on an idea, I use FreeCAD to bring in accuracy. Quite often then the original ideas don’t work out because of wall thickness, window placement etc.
I currently combine Draft, Bim and Sketcher to plan my house. You can also use Tech Draw and Part Design in some areas. I think FreeCAD has a steep learning curve with all the features it has, but it’s also incredibly powerful.
If you want to do accurate calculations, wall thickness, exact angles, window sizes etc., I would recommend FreeCAD, especially the draft workbench and possibly the BIM workbench if you want to go 3D afterwards.

If you are more looking for a rough planning where you can test furniture placements, floor designs and see fast results, I recommend The Sims 4 (no joke!). The base game is free (also available on Steam) and it’s quite easy and intuitive to move stuff around, change a wall, place decorations etc.
The draft workbench and sketcher workbench in FreeCAD are both only for 2D projects.
I believe there’s a pretty low chance of any meltdowns or nuclear events, due to so many fail-safes.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. But wouldn’t it still be a serious safety hazard for the local population through contaminated air/water?
And if no radioactive material is set free, isn’t it still available to keep producing nuclear weapons? According to a German article Iran is estimated to already have sufficient Uranium for 15 nuclear bombs.
In my simple mind that means you either have to directly destroy that material (and potentially expose millions of people to it) or if you just destroy the production facilities, you can only slow down the enrichment of further material without impacting the current capabilities. Do I oversee something?
If you bomb a facility that is working with radioactive material that can be used to produce a nuclear bomb, isn’t there a pretty high risk of causing a meltdown? And if so isn’t that pretty similar to Israel dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran themselves?
This is meant for simple replacement algorithms like ROT1, ROT13 etc. right?
I guess there are valid use cases for CFDs such as securing an aquisition or a loan against stocks. But it’s not an instrument to get rich with for private investors.
IMHO CFDs are nothing private investors should ever touch. It’s like taking a loan to buy and sell stocks and as said - the market is not predictable. Institutional investors have far better and way earlier insights than you as a private investor. You have no chance in beating them. Sure, one can be lucky, as your friend. But that’s not investing then. That’s gambling. You can as well multiply your portfolio in a casino, but for obvious reasons that is not a good idea.
To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend the stock market to people who are worried about the next two months of groceries. Short term trading for non-institutional investors is more gambling than investment. The market doesn’t follow any predictable rules and you can easily lose just as much as you can win.
If you want to invest in stocks as a private person, you should choose a widespread ETF product and not touch it for decades. With day trading you’ll definitely lose in the long term.

I mean that basically doesn’t sound too stupid if it wasn’t Trump who changes his opinion more often than his diapers.
Imagine playing Monopoly with friends and no one is ever buying. You can visit all these nice cities, you can use four amazing train stations free of charge and after each round trip you collect your universal basic income. There’s just that one weird thing that sometimes you randomly end up in jail for three days. But I guess in such a world, also the guards would be cool dudes(ses).
I’m with you, but it’s very hard to find a consensus on what is work and what isn’t. What if someone decides to be a musician who makes music that no one else wants to listen to? What if someone wants to build sand castles in Antarctica? What if someone wants to be a landlord or a CEO? If you asked landlords or CEOs in today’s system, I’m pretty sure they’ll see themselves as (hard) working people which probably many folks in this community would object.
I think in capitalism and socialism you have contributers and profiteers. IMHO, the difference isn’t about people working for others or not, but the level of inequality.
PS: Don’t get me wrong. I’m not arguing against socialism, but specifically against the point in the meme.
those who don’t want to work should still be given the Basic needs to live
I 100% agree. But that then also involves redistribution of wealth from working to non-working people. From my moral PoV, it’s a much better form of wealth transfer than in capitalism, but the claim in the original post was that it doesn’t happen at all in socialism. And in least in the vision of socialism that I have in mind with universal income etc. that’s not correct.
What happens to those who refuse to work then? Let them starve to death?
Furthermore, it’s IMHO hard to draw a line between being ‘unable’ and ‘unwilling’ to work. Some people have more energy, a higher level of motivation or have developed better skills than others. It’s an ethical question that can’t be answered definitely, but I wouldn’t necessarily say that it’s a person’s individual fault to be ‘lazy’. It’s rather the result of their genetics, socialization etc.
Wouldn’t that apply to both systems somehow? Just that in socialism you’d distribute it earlier and more equally.
I don’t have children but I would say the most important advice for all kinds of relationship issues is communication. Address your thoughts, fears, talk openly about what has changed, what you miss, what you need and wish for. Try not to blame anyone and talk in a calm way. It may sound obvious, but only if you talk to each other, you can find new strategies that work for both of you. :)
Okay, that’s strange. When you say workstations, I assume that you had pretty decent hardware and probably more powerful than my consumer notebook. I usually don’t notice lags or load times > 1 second. If I do a complex operation like mass-cloning an object via a polar pattern, I have to wait for 2 or 3 seconds but really nothing that bothered me in the workflow. Definitely never anything close to a minute as you described.
If you want to give FreeCAD another chance one day and still experience the same issues, maybe bring it up in the official forums. The experts there might have an idea what could be wrong.
