I come back to resume Euclid work and for some reason IntelliJ has been having an issue sometimes before building where it gets stuck
Finished, saving caches...

Just learned that I took a photo of Paul Ingrassia last year
Paul Ingrassia in sunglasses talking to Andrew Giuliani in front of cameras. This was during the Trump criminal trial last summer in NYC.

before / after meshing change
A screenshot of Euclid Editor with the old pre-1.13 mesher. Some blocks are broken and aren't taking the correct form. A screenshot of Euclid with the new pre-1.13 mesher. Things look more like Minecraft.

Wait, is that Mike Isaac

yes, yes, yes, it's supposed to look like this
A screenshot of Euclid's new buggy pre-"flattening" mesh generator, which is meshing blocks in the correct voxel way, but placing those blocks seemingly randomly.

With one VERY SLIGHT change you can actually now make out the shape of terrain. Like, I had no idea there was an igloo here because it blended in to all the white.
A screenshot of Euclid Editor. The sides and bottoms of blocks had their brightness decreased in order to add depth to the scene.

euclid update: LAYERS! (in the sense that they are different region files corresponding to the same region coordinates)
A screenshot of Euclid Editor with a sidebar having all the details of a chunk's contents, including entities, points of interest, and data about the blocks inside.

editing euclid editor
Euclid Editor's NBT view, with a context menu. The menu has an 'Add' submenu, along with 'Edit', 'Delete', etc. Inside the 'Add' submenu are all the NBT types. The selected item in the NBT tree is a string inside of a list of strings. Because the list only allows one type (strings here), the only available option to click is the string menu item.

That @quakeroats.com is on here with only 12 followers is sad and very funny

1. did not say anything about abuses she endured
2. elon musk is her main benefactor

?!?
The stepdaughter, who is now 37 and has several children, publicly addressed the situation for the first time with The Times. She did not respond to questions about the abuse allegations involving Errol Musk but said she and her children did not live with him. “My kids are safe and looked after,” she said. She said her main financial support comes from Elon Musk, who sends money monthly and has bought her a car. “Elon has always been there,” she said.

honestly the most shocking thing about this was the combined fact that the pentagon had framed photos of journalists and that it was removed
www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
In the Pentagon press room, there’s a wall of photographs under metal lettering that reads “Pentagon Correspondents” with the faces of the men and women who cover the Defense Department for the major news outlets. On Friday, all 30 slots for photographs were empty. Stuck haphazardly with two pieces of Scotch tape was a single 8.5-by-11-inch sheet of printer paper that read: “CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED.”

It seems like Polite Fiction has their Spotify profile hijacked with three AI-generated singles
