our perception. In this video? We're in some small, zippy craft that is simulating the sound from the enterprise.That's right. The ships onboard computer has decided that that's just what The Enterprise sounds like.
There's always sound in space.If you are in space, you are likely to be in an environment where space doesn't instantaneously kill you. Such as, for example, a spacecraft.If you are on a spacecraft, casually, as just Some Guy, then it is likely that technology has massively progressed. If *that* is true, then anything you see happening on any screens or windows will have the computer system simulate any sounds to accompany visuals. We would not simply Do Without that critical aspect of 1/
I walk into doors, walls, shelves, you name it, I'm gonna run dead into it.
A guy who looked old, tired, and like he had been wielding that sword his entire life once informed me that the big two handed sword he uses in this video isn't even really for, like, "real" fighting. It was primarily a bodyguards weapon and they were just meant to deny access to the person(or point) they were defending. A few of these guys whirling around with your target in the middle and like, what do you do there? You just go home, I guess.
The "dumb" was them not understanding that they got a 6'ft fence because racist neighbors are keeping an eye on them. They are the reason.
Because almost everyone in America now just votes along the party line. If you have to vote a dumbfuck in to make sure your team holds a majority, that's exactly what you do. It's really that simple.
people into specific areas. People in Tokyo just kind of existed where they lived.
It is very uniquely built. You do not see very much at a time, and there are not very many people at a time outside of big shopping districts. When I was there, and I can't speak for the entire city because I was just there for a week on business, every few blocks was a little village unto itself. You didn't have a huge reason to go very far, so people just didn't.There's 14m people in Tokyo. There's 4m in Los Angeles. I see way more people out and about in LA, because LA design funnels 1/
Do what so forcefully? Anything in the video is likely taking place long after some sort of preservative measure has taken place. In Acrylic/Oil Paint you would varnish it to prevent sun/touch/etc damage. I'm sure something similar has taken place here, especially given that the paper had to be trimmed around the top of the pictures.
Nobody in new york would even remotely be phased by this. New Yorkers care about one thing and one thing only: Are you in the fucking way? If yes, stop being in the fucking way. If no, who cares about whatever you're doing, as long as you're doing it over there.
You are fundamentally wrong. Popular usage does not become correct. What are you are referring to is 'informal' usage, which is considered Accepted. Accepted and Correct are fundamentally different. Accepted is considered "universally understood despite being incorrect", such as the informal usage of 'literally'. It does not make it correct. The difference is that you can use informal speech with your friends in casual conversation. But if you are writing anything anyone would respect, no.
.gif isn't a name. It's an acronym. And those are, as the only rule regarding their pronunciation, pronounced how the person who created the acronym said it is to be pronounced. You're correct, but you made a grammatical error, and now everyone is downvoting you for it. Wear those downvotes with pride.
Learning to do real fire requires tools, fuel, supplies and other precautions for a topic that just doesn't come up frequently enough to be worth it in cosplay photography. Especially since you are already going to do color correction and touchups on the photo, you can just select the fire color level you want while you're already working on it.
Yeah...I grew up in Louisiana. It's the most extremist place I've ever been. Bourbon Street and Canal Street tend to be pretty moderate, but exclusively because you have to play nice with the tourists. The instant you step a single foot off of either one, it's absolutely fucked. My school bus drove by *three* KKK halls on the way to school each morning. Louisiana is a nightmare of extremist shit. But if you're a cishetero christian white guy in Louisiana, it probably seems pretty dope.
Someone was inside of it, who died, so pretty unlikely to be a stunt. Much more likely the fireworks were in there because they were going to use them for some NYE celebration.
Even good landlords perpetuate and make a bad system even worse. There's no way around it. Either the system has to change entirely, which is what I actually want, or ALAB: All Landlords Are Bastards, which is much more feasible and likely.
both homes AND rent simultaneously. It allows them to force people into the most easily exploited greed pit they can dig.Even someone doing A Good Thing by buying a house and renting it well and cheap is still a problem, because now that house has become a revenue stream instead of a home someone can buy. Enough Good Landlords do this, and there's nothing left for People, and being forced to rent is our only option.Every greedlord wants this. A necessity for survival that they can control.2/
The problem with anything is that greed turns it to shit. This is true of all things.I would be perfectly content with renting, except greed has made it utterly unsustainable and greed has made owning a home even more unsustainable. The biggest problem with the greed here is that the second situation forces people into the first situation, and the first situation is your last option before homelessness.This encourages landlords to buy more houses, removing supply and increasing demand for 1/
Gold Rush situations do happen, and happen bizarrely frequently. You keep seeing this in cities that have a hot new tech startup(just for example), where devs move there to work there and their husbands/wives/kids now have to find whatever jobs are available. Is there something worth being in your city for that is driving up demand so much? Unemployment around the *world* is at an all-time low, so while I definitely believe you it feels like an outlier and I'm curious as to what's causing it.
are not very far off the actual result. It's why they laid off everyone in California.
I want to be abundantly clear that I'm 100% against corporations and this was in no way deriding immigrants. I honestly don't know exactly how they did what they did, but they definitely did. The indian team ended up in Georgia, while the rest of us were in California. It probably has something to do with that, or the fact that my company was a tiny company that was bought out by a much larger one. They were *probably* hired onto the parent company, then paid wildly less. But those numbers 1/
One of my friends who is trans I was first introduced to after she had already transitioned. Never once misgendered her in my life. My other friends who are coming out more recently, who I've known as their former gender for years? No dice. Misgender them all the time, both to my own shame and frustration. I do my best but I know it fucking sucks for them to see me never misgender one trans woman and misgender the other trans women constantly.
It has nothing to do with how smart or good they are. It's because an American software engineer with a few years of experience runs about $150,000/yr. An Indian software engineer with a few years of experience runs about $36,000/yr. That's why. That's all it is.
I do a lot of art(sculpting/painting/music) and every single time I see something like this I immediately clock their incredible learning progress as Ability To Focus. Seriously, it's not talent, it's just the ability to sit down and do your work and the time to actually dedicate to it. Very, *very* few people actually have that, but those that do absolutely skyrocket in terms of skill in a very short amount of time.
The good part of naming functions like that instead of `a != b` is because it's instantly easily readable as English and gives context. "AreBooleansEqual" tells you more than `a != b`, only because A and B could be anything. Specifying that they're supposed to be booleans gives good information to a reader who isn't familiar with the intention of the code they're reading.Every single other part of that code makes me angry. I ***hate*** that it returns false if they're equal.
Most seatbelts on reputable rides have some pretty interesting tech that prevents them from being unhooked outside of extremely specific circumstances. There is *zero* shot these people were loaded onto that machine in that exact location, because if someone was loading and slipped, they would fall and die. So with that in mind, they loaded in somewhere else. It's likely that wherever that loading zone is, the seatbelts are physically not capable of being released outside of it.
Every thursday for us, with the knowledge that people often need to cancel. The plan was originally every two weeks, but realization set in that if we had to cancel we'd play once a month. Making it every thursday, we average about 3 games a month. Good enough for me.
A much better way of putting it than the above tweet. Your claims are just as valid as anyone elses, because facts do not care about your expertise. They are either held up by, or destroyed by, their own merits.The only real difference is that we can generally trust claims made by authorities in a certain field until someone offers contrarian evidence to any of their claims, but to trust a novice's claims without evidence is a lot more dangerous.
