When they name a new policy rule after you…

I’ve seen this same suggestion years ago on Blender tutorials. Generating a scene isn’t about making it realistic, it’s about fooling the audience into thinking it’s real without making it too hard to create. Look at videos from Ian Hubert on how to fake it well.

There is a solution.

“They modified it a bit.”

“Whatever they did, it WASN’T ENOUGH!”

Not all Hyundais (or older cars) are the same. I get the spirit, but while my 17 year old Santa Fe has a lot of miles on it, I’d rather the assholes just stay away so I don’t have to go through the experience of a wreck, insurance, and possible new car payments on a newer vehicle that I have to relearn all the quirks. So I let the idiots fight each other and watch from afar as much as possible, which includes being a “beta” driver. But that’s what they taught us, right? Defensive driving?

The greatest generation birthed the boomers, who did not live up to their parents’ reputation or expectation.

Buy a used older model if you need a machine. Because it’s cheaper, because it is more basic in its components, because those parts are probably cheaper to buy and replace yourself if need be, and mainly because someone is selling it at its age because it STILL works. Anything tied to a circuit board with a processor is a time bomb.

They’re all going to you. Do you have an unusual amount of single socks too?

I’ve heard one (of many) caveats in buying an English-made car is the sizes of nuts and bolts when working on it.

That makes no sense. It would (only a little) if it was the other way around, since 0C and 100C are based on water, and F is “easier” to relate in how one feels hot or cold (I know that’s totally subjective).

Fact: the most often lost socket is a 10mm.

WinME was that OS I ripped off a brand new laptop and replaced with 98SE so it would function correctly. When it crashes and hangs right out of the box…

Close enough, it’s not blocking a space. Better to be secure, but got to take what wins we can get. It’s possible that when that cart was brought there the corral was full and the person retrieving them didn’t get the loner. It’s like the pictures of the car parked across several spots without the context that there was snowfall and no lines were visible then.

That’s some serious ice layers if it not only derails a train but supports its weight over to the road.

A safe bet that if it’s outside the U.S., it’s Celsius. I don’t think anyone would be alarmed about 60F even on the heat bulb chart.

It’s certainly a chaotic mess, but perhaps knowing the original subject of the comic tarnishes my take on it being used for other things in the same way. Analogies are often tricky.

The only issue with this adaptation of a great comic is that it infers the Confederacy was a well built structure that depended on that one small thing. The Confederacy didn’t exist that long, it even didn’t have a single flag version for longer than a year or so. Change it to the southern states’ economy and it makes more sense.

You’re right in that it’s not meant to have an answer as it’s normally told philosophically. But the biological and evolutionary answer is that there is no dividing line to give that answer because species don’t change with individuals but with large populations over great amounts of time. We see those lines because we find fossils of things related to but different enough to others to call them a different name. And the real mind blower is that almost all creatures that did exist never left fossils to find.

The false dilemma of the chicken and the egg shares the same misunderstanding that the “missing link” fallacy does. There’s no line between things except over time and thousands of generations.

What comes between chickens and their non-chicken ancestors? The problem is in our human need to classify everything into different neat boxes, when it’s an actual long and continuous process. In short, the “dilemma” created is more of an argument about what separates species, and that’s a hell of a rabbit hole with no single answer.

But the answer is the egg, since a chicken born from that egg is different than its parents.

I’ve played some action games in the teens and was fine with it. Maybe lower frame rate at low resolution (1080) isn’t as apparent as the high 4K, but I’ve never understood why people can’t play with frame rates still far faster than film (if it’s truly refreshing the frames completely and not ripping the picture of course). I suppose this argument goes the same direction as the vinyl/CD one, with both opinions dead sure they’re right.

If the game is handling variations of frame rates during play badly, that’s a different story. The goal is for the player to not realize there’s a change and stay focused on the game.
