  • I got my work printed.

    Jump

  • What printer did you use, what paper, print type, etc? Nice work!

    Edit: any deets on the camera used as well?

  • What TV series was mostly fine but had one outstanding episode?

    Jump

  • Lost. The first episode is a master-class in both "show and don't tell" and setting up "mystery boxes." It was downhill from there.

  • meta holiday

    Jump

  • I'm a staunch atheist who likes a holiday.

    Jesus was most likely born in the spring or fall a few years earlier than we recognize, if he was even a single person or existed at all. The Church, as it did every time, took existing holidays and co-opted them.

    The end of the Roman calendar year is an amalgam of pagan holidays that celebrate the shortest day/longest night. A lot of the traditions we associate with Xmas are celebrating the beginning of the lengthening of the day and the return to life/springtime.

    Xmas has always been a meta holiday. Most are. Enjoy the company of friends and family just as people have for millenia, no matter what banner is hanging over the mantle.

  • Erasing a Home’s Risks on Zillow Doesn’t Make Them Go Away

    Jump

  • “Displaying the probability of a specific home flooding this year or within the next five years can have a significant impact on the perceived desirability of that property,” Art Carter, chief executive officer of the California Regional Multiple Listing Service, a private database for real estate brokers and agents, told the Times.

    Yea, no shit. That's the point of including climate risk when it comes to choosing a property.

    Flood prone areas don't pop up overnight. The people in Swannanoa NC were living in a known floodplain that had a massive flood about 100 years ago. Same with the Guadalupe River that averages a major flood every decade. Climate change is making these events larger and more frequent, but excluding data from a real estate listing to supposedly increase home value is nonsense at best and fraud at worst.

  • They can rehash the Death Star plot four times, but they can't bring back the Darksaber. I feel taken advantage of.

  • The Acolyte’s Creator Says YouTubers Now Shape Star Wars More Than the Movies

  • If they listened to the fans, everything would be Andor-level writing, Mandalorian-level characters with Clone Wars-level story and world-building.

    Just do that.

  • If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?

    Jump

  • Tears of the Kingdom and Minecraft would be important to save for their infinite playability due to their physics and craft engines. Final Fantasy 6 for story. Stellaris so people could have a competitive, chess-like monster to wrap their mind around. And Bonk for TurboGrafx16 so everyone could know that game design just doesn't happen overnight.

  • Friends Spinoff Joey Releases 8 'New' Episodes Online — Nearly 20 Years Later

    Jump

  • 8 finished episodes sitting in the can was really odd for the time. I would expect that production would be about 4 finished episodes ahead for a weekly show, and that is generous. But 8? I wonder if they finished the episodes after cancelation back then or if they did it recently.

  • Bari Weiss vs. climate change | At The Free Press, Weiss consistently rebrands tired fossil fuel talking points as courageous, rebellious dissent.

  • DINO? LINO? One of those is correct.

    Nolan's Batman film repeated a line that didn't land with me at the time but I have since understood: "it's not who you are, it's what you do that defines you."

    At the time, I thought myself a temporarily embarrassed progressive, thinking all these good thoughts and waiting for my sleeper-cell handler to activate me. I'm a good person, I am ready to do good when the need arises, as long as I have nothing else scheduled that day.

    But the malaise of the socially progressive 90s lulled me (and other Gen Xers) into a false optimism that things were just going to get better on their own. Our brains were also cooked by decades of deregulation propaganda. And TVs were getting bigger and cheaper, so who were we to complain?

    Weiss is the next generation of this detached ideology. She's been simmering in absurdism and pageantry so long that I don't think she has a handle on what she really wants to do. I'm not excusing her behavior, but I can't devine a coherent platform for her. I'm not sure any of her contemporaries actually have one, either. Just for the grift? It doesn't make them less dangerous, but hopefully it makes them less intimidating for those of us who have felt the tap on the shoulder to enlist.

    In conclusion, she sucks, she says inane things. Don't be surprised but also don't roll your eyes and move on. Find what you can do, no matter how small, and do it. You will instantly be steps ahead of the performative competition.

  • I just heard about this on a podcast. The hosts and guest were giggling about "Mr Hands" and didn't go into any specifics, but I got that they were talking about a large penis. Now I know just how large, thanks!
