Nah, sss is the phenomena they are trying to capture. When we comparing it to reality, i.e. the intended results, it looks fake because they haven’t figured how to model it such that it both looks good and renders in a reasonable amount of time. CG milk looks like crap for the same reason.

Box sets just feel like an event. The experience starts even before you start the game, and continues through the breaks in playing.

It’s definitely more than 1 molecule thick. CG people call it sub-surface scattering.

The kids (not you guys) will just move on to another platform, mate. Depending on the stage of growth, the company will burn through its funding, the owners will cash out, list then cash out, sell the data and move on to the next grift. Circle of life and all that.

Also see vr, llm, gai, etc. In SEA we have a company carsome that was touted as a ‘unicorn’, and I can’t see their value proposition for the life of me.

If people say ‘i have excel competence’, the difference could be between ‘i can resize fonts and do tables for my company forms because I don’t know how to do them in word’ to ‘fully modelling a business plan for a Telco, including it’s subsidiary units’. Make sure you test for the level of competence you’re after.

Learn a new formula every now and then, or at very least learn to read other people’s formulas, then google what you don’t know. Literacy in any field is the result of a long process of learning.

(Reread your question) Outside of IT: if an appliance stops working, it’s sometimes just a fuse that needs replacing. It’s cheap and easy to do.

Not a dishwasher, but may be related. I air dry my clothes indoors, sometimes overnight, and used to get that damp rag smell on my clothes as a result. Solution: toss in a tbs of baking soda - no more smell.

Oh, and I can’t pay you up front, but you may use me as a reference for any future opportunities you may have.

Straight from the MacFarlane school of weird swinging poses

It’s the same edgy dumb kids who post ‘does anyone even care?!?’ for internet points, except that everyone finds them an annoying waste of bandwidth and contribute next to nothing to the discussion.

Edit: actually, they contribute nothing to the discussion. Nothing at all.

Plant malware?

Spaghetti storage. What you described I’d do with an old tennis ball can. Glass jars have uses.

I did this once, rolled over and to the side in one motion. Worst sprain of my life, including the time I took a jumper and landed my full weight on my ankle. It was the only time I had to stop whatever it was I was doing and get home asap. The drive back wasn’t bad but the next morning I got out of bed I couldn’t put pressure on my ankle at all. Swelled to the size of my calves and looked bruised and nasty. Took me out for a month and even so, I was put on crutches, but no cast. Get it looked at. Not all sprains are the same.

It also matters if it’s installed on your dominant hand’s side, or your non-dominant hand’s side, as how the two interact during the fold would determine which side eventually faces buttside.

When a large proportion of their user base no longer believes/ knows/ cares that they actually have a choice. Or that a small hit in convenience or familiarity is worth the gain in liberty and personal freedom.

We give what we can. I was watching a vid and people were listing out the list of expected stocking stuffers and the excess and crass consumerism was just disgusting. Never mind the actual gifts itself. I guess the thought doesn’t matter anymore, unless it has a name brand attached to it.

I get anxiety every time I go to my parent house. My dad is getting old and I love the dogs there, but I feel like an afterthought for family events unlike my brother from out of the country, who is feted every time he turns up for the holidays. I’m never asked to participate though I used to take some joy in doing desserts for these events. It’s just unfortunate that I’ll probably be guilted into moving in to taking care of her/ them in the future.

The term is ‘lucid dreaming’ and it’s great. Most times I’m on autopilot, but once I become ‘aware’, I’m usually flying around like superman. I avoid getting sexual because those tend to wake me up lol

Get into a sport yould enjoy. Find like minded people and have fun. Take it seriously, and the fitness just comes as a by product.

If the internet has succeeded in anything, it’s that the illusion of competence is worth more than the thing itself. Until someone calls you out, that is.
