There were things like middle-click and drag that you can model without using but would never want to do without once it got into your workflow. We ran workshops for kids and had to have spare mice to hand out because a trackpad just wouldn’t cut it.

The most improvement with 3D modeling tools came from struggling with them for a while then watching my brother use them competently and seeing that there are simple shortcuts and hidden menus for everything. I needed that initial struggling to figure out what I was missing, but yeah.

I had my cd player in my car stolen. I could buy the same model for $40 on eBay, but the repairs and install alone on the replacement were closer to $200. I’d have rather given the thieves $50 and we’d both have come out ahead.

The biggest problem with any sort of lock is thinking that it actually means someone can’t get in if they’re determined to do so. Bolt cutters, an angle grinder, or a big rock are going to get you past pretty much any lock faster than even a professional locksmith.

I wonder if the vertical layout was common at that time. I can’t find a modern example with that orientation.
Also, I learned that December in Dutch is december, and the days of the week are almost English, like Saturday is zaterdag, but Tuesday is dinsdag for some reason.

I don’t know that they were ever in the bank or robbers of any sort. They were near the scene when an explosion happened, ran up a building somehow, then drew their guns on Batman. Could claim self defense since he was pursuing them without clear cause and is known to be violent.

I used to think that if you were famous enough for me to have seen you on TV or in a movie, you were also rich. Same with comic book artists, authors, musicians, basically anyone I was paying to consume the content of, because if I was paying for their content, shouldn’t they be getting that money?

I buy shredded cheese all the time, but you make some pretty good points. I’ve got a friend who swears the home shredded stuff is superior, but I’ve resisted. Ah, well, time to research cheese grater technology and see if any advances have been made.

Can’t say for sure how they did it, but I’d count three ways. First pass would be X times Y for a rectangularish room. Next would be counting complete, uncut tiles. Final pass would be the fractional tiles, which I’d simply count as quantity of fractional tiles.

My brother and I do the same game with Little Drummer Boy, and the rules 100% require the song be listened to by chance. If a random person played it on purpose, you’re out, but if someone is playing or at least aware of the game and plays the song, it doesn’t count.

They might think it was strange, but I can’t think of anyone in my life who I would want to celebrate with who would care more about my date of birth than my happiness.

You don’t have to lie to your family about it. If I told my wife and kids that I wanted to celebrate my birthday on a different day, I’m pretty sure they’d be fine with it. We won’t usually do anything until the weekend after anyway. My grandma would still call on the real day, but probably both.

I watched the first season with my daughter when she was in middle school. She’s about to graduate university.

100%. I have never felt anything but good about being asked to get something from a shelf from someone. If you can’t reach something, I’m there for you.
Pretty much everything else, leave me alone. 😁

I used to love pecan pie and hate coleslaw, but now the opposite is true. As I aged, pecan pie and coleslaw must have had a moment where I liked them equally and would have enjoyed a meal that included a side of coleslaw and a slice of pecan pie, but I missed it.

Having not seen a video with Coach Z in a decade, I also immediately knew he would pronounce it skort and read your post in his voice. That series burrowed deep in my brain.

I love that they point out “but it’s not technically accurate”
I’ve tried a few recipes that had things measured in units like cups, handfuls, and gas marks, and had no idea how close I came to what they expected based on the conversions I found online.

Unfortunately “AI” has no clear definition so I have to default to telling people not to blindly trust AI. Some of what people now call AI used to be called something else and is actually well established and useful, but even that is now being tied to the sketchy stuff whether you want it or not.

I read the union page and they aren’t asking for a boycott, so you’re good. Even if they do at some point, it’s still up to you to weigh your options and decide what’s best for your situation. I try to at least stay informed so that I’m making a decision instead of defaulting into one.

Oof, cameras are one of my fixations, and features I probably wouldn’t use still make me envious of the new versions, so I totally feel you here. Last time this happened to me I used the camera so much that I felt I could justify an upgrade, but then didn’t use the new one because I’d burned out.

Flight or super speed would have been my choice, but a healing ability / aura that could affect others would absolutely be at the top of my list now.

I just messaged a place this morning for something that I bought yesterday night for $65 because it went on sale for $5 cheaper plus a $12 free gift with purchase. I told them it isn’t a big deal if they can’t do anything, but I’d be a big fan of theirs if they hooked me up. Doesn’t hurt to try.

The biggest problem they have here is that to get me back they’d have to straight up say things that would make bigots not want to shop there, rather than trying to remain neutral or giving a hint of liberal bias without trying to offend any racists or anti-lgbt types.

They’d have to fire a bunch of executives in a public way that didn’t involve them getting huge golden parachutes, alienate the other half of their customers that are still willing to go there by doing a public 180, and hope that brings some of their old juice back. They’re stuck.
