I didn't read OP's statement as racist.

I think anyone with taste knows that a small non-chain restaurant, stall, or cart will have much better food than some corporate chain crap food made with industrially sourced 'ingredients.'

Personally, I'm always looking for the small restaurants that serve food on Styrofoam or paper plates. Bonus points if it's attached to a gas station or the owner's little kids are in the dining room or kitchen playing and coloring.

Ethnicity doesn't matter, it can be a barbecue joint or some sort of Asian culture I'm ignorant of.

You see a little kid quietly coloring in a booth by themselves, you know that shit is going to be good.

The first statement sounded like I am always eating at road side stalls and never had a lunch at a restaurant. Not that I would bother going to a chain like that to begin with. I am obviously not a native speaker so maybe I misunderstood it.

I am not a fan of those road side stalls, I am not a germaphobe but at least my food should be made in a clean Kitchen. Maybe because my mom would never let me try those and I grew up that way.

It's rare, in America, for there to be an actual stall. Food trucks or carts are much more common and serve the same function. Stalls can be found at festivals and fairs.

Some of the best food comes out of food trucks. There's a whole little culture around food trucks.

I've seen stalls in other countries on TV. Anthony Bourdain, for instance. He seems to accept a certain amount of food poisoning and dubious ingredients. Some of it still looks really good.

We also have the Tamale Lady phenomenon here. If you see a Hispanic lady or old man selling tamales out of a cooler, you better get some. They'll be the best damn tamales you've ever had.

With my aversion to food made out in the open, right next to running cars and open-coughing people, I stopped eating from roadside stalls by the time I started having enough autonomy.
I tend to prefer non-chain restaurants with viewable kitchens ^[those places tend to hire cooks who actually mind their coughing], but due to lack of any such desirable place in my area, eating out nearby, usually means subway (which is just, less bad).

Then I realise that with the amount of money I would spend to pay for the cheapest local meal place, I can actually cook with Ghee at home. And that topples the equation over its head.

  • Morning: Sandwich in Ghee/butter/peanut oil depending upon the mood
  • Afternoon: Fried rice in Ghee
  • Evening: Gram/Kidney Beans/Lentils in Ghee, with rice

Definitely not going back to outside food with nobody knows which oil they use.

We try and only eat out as a treat. Almost all of our my meals are eaten at home as we work from home these days. Also, my wife is an amazing cook and her food is better than most restaurants. We usually have leftovers or a sandwich for lunch.

I'm not familiar with your currency symbol? What country do you live in and are the health standards low enough that eating from a stall is a concern? That's a different situation.

I'm in the US, so food trucks, stalls and gas stations actually have decent standards. (Often, the cleanliness in these places is heads and shoulders above corporate chain places.)

I learned to always check the bathroom of a restaurant. How clean they keep their bathroom tells you a lot about how they keep their kitchen. Small, family run, places tend to have the best food and the cleanest bathrooms, in my experience.

I’m not familiar with your currency symbol

Try qalc.

It's got both, a terminal frontend and a Qt GUI one. (Actually 3. Also a GTK one)

You can copy the currency text along with the symbol into it and by default, it will convert it to your Locale's currency, so you can know the exchange rates at least.

Also, ₹2000 - ₹3000 per 8 hour day tends to be what an engineering fresher would normally expect in a place like Delhi, where a Subway sub will cost around ₹400.


❯ qalc
> 1/0

  1 / 0 = 1 / 0

Running stock Android on my phone and use Jerboa for Lemmy, my computer is Windows 10 as Linux still is lacking in CAD/CAM. In particular, CAM at a professional level. My home server is running Linux, however. Been playing with Linux for a long time.

Wish Mastercam worked in Linux and I'd happily make the jump.

Linux still is lacking in CAD/CAM

I really wish this could be fixed.

I have used CAD software quite a bit during my childhood and BTech and realise the great difference between Autodesk tools and OSS Alternatives. While blender has already overtaken their stuff in its domain, I feel the need for an alternative for AutoCAD ^[currently checking out QCAD] that can overthrow its crown. While I can't expect anything for stuff like ArchiCAD, Revit etc. which would require loads of domain specific knowledge.

Never tried CAM software, but I see 3 OSS ones here, so perhaps you can check out any that you haven't. I'd be interested in knowing about your exp with these, since I don't have much to think of how to test those.

qalculate has Windows binaries too

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's been a year or two since I played with OSS CAD/CAM. It was still heavily lacking. QCad is only 2d.

I check it every few years hoping for improvement.

FreeCAD UI was still so bad it was basically unusable and I could not wrap my head around it. Horrible interface and totally unintuitive. I'm still not sure how to take a simple linear measurement. Installed a plugin that sort of worked to measure. That crap was designed by aliens.

The OSS CAMs can generate a tool path, but it is difficult and they aren't feature rich. CNC programming puts food on my table and I need the speed and features of pro level software. If I was playing with a router and doing a lot of 2d stuff, I could make it work for that. Especially if my time didn't matter.

If Mastercam would just port to Linux I would happily switch.

I'm a CNC programmer with enough computer programming knowledge to be dangerous but not actually contribute to the various projects out there. Sucks.

I'll have to throw qalculate on my computer and play with it. I'm actually rebuilding our new little farm right now and am taking a break from machining while I put our home right. If our savings hold out, I'll be building my own shop.

I have the ability to create basic a 3D, line based design tool. Though I would have to read up on NURBS. Maybe QCad has the potential to grow in that direction.

I just still tend to hope that it may be implemented in something fully featured like Blender, which is more geared towards artistic modelling and replaces stuff like 3dsMAX and Maya. It does have some plug-ins to support precision drawing, but last time I checked, I was still not convinced of using it in an AutoCAD like workflow.
