The worst part is, if the sign only said the instant death part, it would be a worse deterrent. Like, despite how funny it is to also have a fine, it’s a much more useful sign like this.

I don’t know about the current state of wired VR for Linux.

You are mostly stuck with ALVR for wireless and a few other options like that. Though if you like Linux, ALVR is basically the Linux of wireless VR anyway. You can get it working well if you really like spending time in settings menus instead of playing games, or copying someone else’s pre-configured settings for similar hardware/networking gear/setup.

But there is a chance SteamVR/Steam link will get a decent push for Linux around the time of the Steam Frame(deckard) launch.

You can make a mesh mask out of hi-vis reflective material. So people can see you but anything that relies on shining light at you to get a clear picture will just blow out and be pure “white” to Its optics.

I think if I could hear the jingle it would be separated like:

It’s the most wonderful time

of the year

Just given where the breaks are in the jingle.

I don’t know the name of the meme, but the person is Drew Scanlon.

Yeah.

They were elected long before they were considered terrorists. If trumps maga is eventually labelled terrorists, does that extend to all previous conservatives?

So, any country that has at least one terrorist organization in it is forfeit? Is there any country in the world with 0 terrorists? Even limiting it to only internationally recognized terrorists?

Find an eye doctor that has the time for you, so you don’t feel rushed. My family always used to take us to wal-mart when we were kids, and I still kept going there as an adult. Until one time I had to go to somewhere closer one day. And it was night and day. At walmart you always felt rushed like they booked each appointment for 5 minutes or something. At a proper eye doctor, we sat and talked about all my eye health, not just vision. And never once did it feel like they were just trying to get through the appointment. They were interested to hear about my health. But most importantly, they were very open to spending twice as much time doing the a/b testing at a comfortable pace. And I didn’t have to suggest it, they could tell it would benefit me.

Hmm, the morph tool gives you those points so you can pick which old areas you want to morph into which new areas. So the morph can make more sense and not look dumb.

I used to, I am Austistic, so my mind does tend to wander.

I don’t know if I ever technically had actual insomnia, but I can very much forget that I should be sleeping. And before I learned about alarm fatigue and cleaned up my alarms to a degree that my brain wouldn’t reject, I would often end up staying up way past my sleep alarm going off.

But now I have a reasonably minimum amount of alarms only, and I am properly able to obey them without any resistance. When I get in bed, I start up my sleep music, specifically crafted to start at high energy and methodically wind down. By the end of the music I will have fallen asleep. They are all songs I have heard thousands of times, so it won’t trigger fomo and keep me awake to hear the rest or anything.

I do not touch my phone again until I wake up in the morning, I don’t have a morning alarm, as I don’t need to be awake at any specific time, so I “sleep until full health” like a videogame character, except honestly I think it works to a degree in real life too. I’m never sick, and my injuries heal faster than other people’s. My mind and body just have enough time to get done what they want to get done while everything is shut down.

I’m over 40 now, but still feel like a teenager.

Is it the sunbeam that drew the line, or the shadow? Like yeah, the light is technically the thing that was added, but the shadow is what created the pattern.

Does the ink draw the picture or the mask?

I’m thinking that seeing this was so unexpected that you not only assumed it was two pictures, but also read the description wrong.

This is one picture, and the elevator doesn’t “have 90 degree corners in it” it has the doors on two walls perpendicular to each other.

Could sort of be described that way. But they basically just shape the sound in a way that your ear hears it with the specific acoustic distortion that normally cues your brain that the sound came from behind you. Or wherever.

So in the sense that a hologram is using different properties of shaping light to trick your eyes that something looks different than it really does, then yeah, audio hologram sort of fits. And similarly, it only works if your ears are exactly where they expect them to be, just like a hologram with your eyes.

While you should never do it in public, those phones with the virtual 3d sound field speakers are starting to get pretty decent to listen to music on. Still, never listen at higher volumes, cuz that breaks it. But it’s pretty awesome for any volume level where it can manage the right level of base for the song.

Specifically what it’s doing is making it so each ear only hears the part that is meant for it, and doesn’t get the bleed over from the other speaker. Virtual stereo isolation, the Switch 2 also does it in standalone mode. But yeah, of course, that only works for the primary user, anyone in the wrong physical location relative to the speakers won’t get the effect. And actually it’ll just sound weird to them.

Well, with it being a “relatively” healthy alternative to excessively refined sugar based chocolates, stressing that it is better to eat than American chocolate is pretty important. The idea is to sell it to the populace effectively enough that the reduction in medical spending outweighs or strongly supplements the manufacturing cost.

So it is also kind of an ad in that sense. Just not written for eyes outside of Mexico.

Because we are used to anytime someone mentions a product name, they were paid to do so.

But this is just an interesting and useful government intervention to correct a capitalism-derived problem.

Try chocolate that wasn’t made in America… Then imagine living a country with some of the best ingredients for chocolate making, and only seeing American chocolate on your store shelves… If capitalism is breaking stuff, the government is pretty much the only ones that can fix it. Though when the government is the thing that capitalism is breaking, I can see why you might not want them to do more than they currently do.

Government is supposed to be about pooling money so it can be more efficiently and effectively spent. Economies of scale. Even if the government only half does what you want and half does stuff you don’t care about, you are still getting better bang for your buck than if you tried to use your own tiny amounts of money to buy the half you do want.

Wait… I see these all the time… is it maybe just a Canada thing?

I would say, instead of trying to 100% switch over, instead dip a toe in. Dual boot, or run a seperate system as linux first. Slowly grow into it, and then if in a few years, it feels feasible, put it on as your main and have your windows system as the back up. Then maybe eventually you won’t need/want a back up at some point.
