![]() When the window opens you can adjust its width, depth, and height to within 1/8th of an inch. For example, if you want to make a non-standard sized couch, simply place a couch from the object library in the plan, then double click on it. But today, you’d expect far more from even a video game.Įvery element in your plan has its own specific panel that shows its exact location, orientation, and size while allowing you to fine-tune its properties. This software is rudimentary in what it models, with a level of graphic design that may have wowed you 20 years ago. Though you probably should double-check your measurements before you get too far into your redesign plans. This saves enormous amounts of time over recreating the blueprints manually or even measuring your home to get the correct data. This is an invaluable feature if you’re looking to recreate your existing home in the program. One of the more nifty features found in Sweet Home 3D is the ability to import scanned blueprints into the program. And you can even share your own designs of the forums. These are fully realized designs that you can use as jumping-off points or inspiration for your own designs. There’s also a gallery of 16 free demos online that you can access from the interface-and more still in their user forums. There are nine demo designs built in the program, ranging from plans for a simple studio apartment up to a four-bedroom family home. There are two ways to start a new design with Sweet Home 3D: you can create a blank slate and design from the ground up or you can import one of their demo designs. Lifewire / Jeffrey Daniel Chadwick Interior Design Tools: Simple and useful Any computer built in the last 10 years will have zero problems running this home design program. Sweet Home 3D doesn’t have any special hardware requirements. ![]() Windows users can buy it directly from the Sweet Home website, or from sites like Amazon-it’s the standard installation process that you’ve done hundreds of times before. If you use a Mac, it’s probably best to go through the Mac App Store (although you can buy it elsewhere), simply because you’ll get updates in real-time and can install it on multiple machines without worrying about getting more licenses. Getting Sweet Home 3D on your computer is a simple affair, no matter what operating system you use. Unlike other home design programs, Sweet Home 3D does not include a cost estimator to help you keep your project budget-friendly. This is convenient for when the time comes to go shopping. Underneath the Furniture Catalog is the Furniture List which catalogs all the items in your design. It’s fun and functional so it cuts down on the frustrations that often come with learning a new skill like interior design. Products like Home Designer, Virtual Home Architect, and TurboFloor Plan all have object libraries with thousands more objects than those offered by Sweet Home 3D. But it’s extremely limited compared to what you can get in other home design programs. These are all very nice and give your design a more realistic look. Finally, there are accents you can add like beer bottles, bowls, ashtrays, staplers, and many more. There also fixtures like counters, cabinets, cupboards, stoves, stools, and chairs, and electronics like televisions, video game systems, and projectors. In the catalog, you get a selection of the basics like beds, desks, dressers, couches, sinks, and showers. This is where you’ll find more than 1,500 objects to furnish your design with. Pinned in the upper right corner is the Furniture Catalog. ![]() Nevertheless, it’s helpful in visualizing your plans as you create them. But today, you’d expect far more from even a video game. ![]() This shows you what your design will look like when it’s built-more or less. Right under Home Plan is the Home 3D view. Sweet Home 3D is where you start your home design journey, but unless you just want to treat it as a fun game it shouldn’t be where you stay.

This adds one layer of complexity to your whole process to be able to exclusively use Markdown. If you try to generate your PDF from Obsidan (Markdown) your workflow is as follows. Second, it depends on your requirements for your PDF script. I never used pandoc really intensively so I may be wrong. Unless people use the focus/typewriter mode in certain markdown editors or, like me, they prefer a dark theme, I really don't see the difference.Īnyone using Obsidian/markdown for academic writing, particularly in social sciences/humanities, what are your experiences? Genuine question. Surely, Word and LibreOffice Writer can be made distraction-free too - toolbars can be hidden, spelling/grammar checking can be switched off etc. I also fail to see how Obsidian/markdown is distraction-free, as people often say, compared to the usual word-processors. Then, I move the text to Word/Writer for polishing up, so it's not like I broke free from heavy word-processors. Markdown offers many advantages (longevity, simplicity and openness), but so far I have been using it for a first pass in my writing. ![]() ![]() The last thing you need hours before a deadline is discovering you have to handle hundreds of citations manually. Relying on Pandoc adds a layer of complexity and incompatibility with Zotero's addons for Word/Writer, and the markdown file doesn't itself contain the rendered citations. I am using Obsidian for academic note-taking and cross-linking, and I am considering also doing my writing in it, but I am not quite sure if this is a good idea or a rabbit hole. ![]() NEW: Today’s Forecast can include items with a specific tag, and you can reorder those tasks however you choose, so you can plan your day better.NEW: The filtering rules are simpler to use while being more powerful than ever, letting you combine rules with “all,” “any,” and “none.” You can also choose any image to use as your custom perspective’s icon, and a custom tint color to go with it.

While most outdoor fireplaces are heavy and best left in a single location, the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is designed with portability in mind. The chimney is not especially tall (the fireplace has a height of only 45 inches), but it serves to direct smoke and ash up and away from the area immediately surrounding the fireplace.ĭimensions: 45 x 23 x 20 inches | Material: Steel | Style: Traditional | Fuel Type: WoodĪ portable outdoor fireplace gives you the flexibility to enjoy the ambiance and warmth of a fire in a variety of locations. Regardless of where you sit or stand in relation to this outdoor fireplace, you’ll be able to see the flames inside and benefit from the warmth of the blaze. One advantage of the all-steel construction of the Endless Summer Wood-Burning Outdoor Fireplace is the 360-degree view of the fire. It has enough space in the fire bowl to accommodate four or five logs, a cooking grate for grilling up favorites like hotdogs or hamburgers, and a removable ash pan for quick clean-up after you put the fire out. This model from Endless Summer is a great example of how functional and affordable an outdoor fireplace can be. You can spend less on an outdoor fireplace by choosing a freestanding, metal option without a stone surround or facade. Unless you’re placing it in a covered area or live in a very dry climate, you may want to use a tarp or cover to prevent rust formation.ĭimensions: 48.03 x 24.02 x 41.93 | Material: Steel, stone | Style: Traditional | Fuel Type: Wood When exposed to precipitation, the exposed steel of the chimney or frame can begin to rust. While this fireplace is designed for outdoor use, it’s worth noting that it’s not weatherproof. This can make it more enjoyable to sit around the fireplace and enjoy the warmth and flames, without smoke directed at you. One advantage of choosing an outdoor fireplace with a chimney, as you’ll find on this Sunjoy model, is the fact that smoke is directed up and out of the fireplace. A removable grate inside the firebox supports the logs, which can be stored on the shelf underneath. The focal point is the firebox with steel mesh doors, which allow for easy access when you need to add wood to the fire or stoke the flames. The Sunjoy Electra Outdoor Fireplace is constructed with a powder-coated steel frame and finished with a manufactured stone façade, for a rustic look. This wood burning option has a functional chimney to dissipate smoke, a removable ash pan for easy clean-up, and metal mesh doors to eliminate worries about shooting sparks and escaping embers during use.

It’s worth pointing out, however, that not all Solis camper vans offer a four-person sleeping capacity.Īs some more basic and lower-priced Solis camper vans do not come equipped with the pop-top sleeping loft, reducing the sleeping capacity down to two. Which really helps to set the Solis apart from other camper vans.Īs most Class B RVs only have a two-person sleeping capacity, w hich is why the Solis, is so popular with families.Īs it still provides all the benefits of a Class B RV including a smaller more manageable size, easier drivability, and improved fuel efficiency, while still providing a four-person sleeping capacity. How Many People Can the Winnebago Solis Sleep?Īnother big reason why the Winnebago Solis is so popular is its larger sleeping capacity.Īs the Winnebago Solis is able to sleep up to four people at a time, thanks to its lower rear murphy bed, a nd its ingenious pop-top sleeping loft, which provides an additional two-person sleeping capacity. ![]() To see more information on the cost of the Winnebago Solis, check out our article “ How Much Does a Winnebago Solis Cost?

In reality, it’s quite affordable when you compare it to the cost of other production Class B RVs, which can easily cost well over $100,000. One of the main reasons why the Winnebago Solis is so popular is its more affordable price.Īs the Solis is one of the most budget-friendly Class B RVs you can buy, with an average price of $90,000.Īnd while $90,000 might not seem all that cheap, if you’re new to Class B RVs.

This article or section appears to contradict itself on roles of Niebuhr and Wygal in the origin of the prayer compare, rectify, and merge this and the History section. The best-known form is a late version, as it includes a reference to grace not found before 1951: Reinhold Niebuhr's versions of the prayer were always printed as a single prose sentence printings that set out the prayer as three lines of verse modify the author's original version. The prayer has appeared in many versions. Posters and household ornaments were produced by others without attribution. In 1962, Hallmark began using the prayer in its graduation cards, crediting Niebuhr, and in the 1970s they also produced a wall plaque. Įarly versions of the prayer are given no title, but it was called the Serenity Prayer in a 1950 AA Grapevine journal of Alcoholics Anonymous. Niebuhr first published it in 1951, in a magazine column. It then also appeared in a sermon of Niebuhr's in the 1944 Book of Prayers and Services for the Armed Forces. Niebuhr, to whom the prayer has been most often attributed, first presented it in a form for which records remain a 1943 sermon at Heath Evangelical Union Church in Heath, Massachusetts. ![]() The prayer spread rapidly, often without attribution, through church groups in the 1930s and 1940s and was adopted and popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous in 1941 and other twelve-step programs. Whenever it was first conceived or penned, it appeared in print at least as early as 1933, associated with Winnifred Wygal alone. The prayer originally asked for courage first, and specifically for changing things that must be changed, not things that simply can be changed:įather, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other. ![]() God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,Īnd the wisdom to know the difference. The prayer has also made its way into popular culture, including in works by Bill Watterson, Neil Young and Sinéad O'Connor, and programming including True Detective. Since at least the early 1960s, commercial enterprises such as Hallmark have used the prayer in its greeting cards and gift items. Regardless of origins, the prayer has achieved very wide distribution, appearing throughout church groups later in the 1930s, and in Alcoholics Anonymous and related organizational materials since at least 1941. ![]() Despite this history and confusion, William FitzGerald takes Wygal's case, arguing sexism as the reason for misattribution, while Fred Shapiro's work, with greater nuance, has alternated his conclusions, but presents both the messages that the "rigin is debated" and Wygal as author in materials relating to the The New Yale Book of Quotations, published in 2021. The written prayer has been alternatively attributed to the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971), (his having claimed authorship, and its having been used in a 1943 sermon by him in Heath, Massachusetts, and thereafter), but also to Niebuhr colleague Winnifred Crane Wygal, who presented it March 1933, and again in a 1940 book (in the latter case attributing it to Niebuhr). The Serenity Prayer is an invocation by the petitioner for wisdom to understand the difference between circumstances ("things") that can and cannot be changed, asking courage to take action in the case of the former, and serenity to accept in the case of the latter. Prayer authored by American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr A version of the Serenity prayer appearing on an Alcoholics Anonymous medallion (date unknown). ![]() This is also the only true member of the 1911 family on this list, so if you’re devoted to JMB’s timeless design but are interested in modernizing your carry gun, this is one worth taking a look at.

The gun is very small and lightweight thanks to its aluminum alloy frame, but it remains comfortable in the hand and fits a capacity of 10+1 with flush-fitting mags. ![]() S&W clearly weren’t afraid of trying new things as they were designing the CSX. The CSX is a single-action only, metal-framed pistol, but it’s not a 1911 either. Released at SHOT Show 2022, Smith & Wesson’s new micro 9mm handgun breaks the mold established by the micro 9s that came before it. Kimber offers the Mako with a Crimson Trace optic already installed too, but the standard optics-ready model has an MSRP of $599. The pistol’s controls are fully ambidextrous, and each Mako ships with one flush-fitting 11-round magazine plus an extended 13-round mag. The R7 Mako ships from the factory with an optics-ready slide capable of mounting RMSc-footprint red dots, but it comes standard with tritium night sights as well. ![]() Kimber was a bit late to the party with their own micro 9mm handgun, but it has some interesting features that keep it in the running with existing micro 9mm models.
