#42Note they have CAD files for almost all of their products which - in combination with a 3D printer - can come in very handy.
This makes great business sense, since you can fit-test any part and know you're getting the right one before ordering. IIRC, there's even plugins for some CAD programs to grab models by part number.
Yes, that's exactly how I use it. I've also had use cases where I needed something now and didn't mind a plastic part for actual use because I knew the load would be light.

#43love metalwork & buy parts but seriously; F@##% anyone that messes with my navigation back.
What are you talking about? I tried snaking through the MC site; back button worked just fine.

#44Back when this was making the rounds several years ago, I was intrigued that they request pages in the background on mouse-over, then swap on click. I decided to do similar on my blog, since my pages are about a dozen kb of HTML, and I aggressively cache things. My blog now feels super fast to navigate through, since I've eliminated a ton of network lag. https://theandrewbailey.com/
wow it is really fast!

I remember seeing this last time the McMaster site went around and it's great. It's wild to me though that ignorant reflexive copy-paste lashes against React like this thread OP are so common that there was value to putting this together.

I've been doing more and more web dev with JQuery recently. I learned it in high school and I think most of the new JS frameworks are probably worse.
jQuery is more of a DOM API wrapper than any modern framework, they serve entirely different needs.

#49Stop telling me what I have or haven’t heard. There’s no better way to irritate someone right off the bat.
