That would make sense! When I first read about it, my mind went to something the size of a collectible model that you’d put on a table or shelf. But the model for the movie probably was much larger than that to allow a great level of detail to be seen in the movies.

Ugh, I love these movies so much, haha.

I don’t think they said farming was fun, and I’m also not sure that you lived on a farm “before people started measuring time” 🤷🏾‍♂️

If anyone else is curious like I was, the Tower of Orthanc was made using a small model and scaling it up into a CGI scene. It’s unlikely ents trees were harmed in great number to achieve the shots.

Thanks for reminding me of this guy. I lost him up my butthole.

And everyone knows it’s impossible to mistake one sound for another!

I don’t have an exact answer for your question, but I will say that when it comes to shows like these you have to remember that they’re very much TV shows and are heavily edited to present a specific narrative. I’m not saying that’s necessarily bad or nefarious, but you just have to take the events and the way in which they happen with a large serving of salt.

A family member was approached by their team (Holme’s) to do the cabinets for a home that was being redone in our area. They literally wanted to pay him in exposure. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how a majority of their contracts work; hire a bunch of people to do the actual labor, tell them their payment is in advertising, then stand in front of the camera the whole time and take all the credit when the family shows up.

Close, I DM’ed a short-lived DnD campaign a year ago.

I remember having a thought one day as a young kid while interacting with a DVD main menu (the kind that had clips from the movie playing in the background, and would play a specific clip depending on what menu you went in to).

“This is basically how video games work, there’s a bunch of options you can choose from and depending on what you do it shows you something. Videogames are just DVD menus with way more options.”

I grew up to not be a programmer.

Even this depends on diction.

For real. I opened Lemmy the other day and had to block someone for the first time because they’d spammed the shit post community with pages of them within a few minutes. Like I enjoy viral memes as much as the next guy, but one person completely overran my entire feed from dozens of communities by posting what amounts to the same thing over 100 times in 2 minutes. I genuinely don’t get why people are trying to convince everyone they think it’s funny or enjoyable.

Its funny that “ur comment sounds AI btw 😏” has become the new “sick burn” for people with no argument. Especially when the comment in question reads absolutely nothing like an LLM.

The advice is more meant for changing through gears, not starting from a stop. As mentioned, you don’t really need much gas to get going.

Awesome!

I usually just push a sharpie against the offending light. Still visible so I can see it if need be but not much brighter than that.

Best price I’ve seen actually available is ~800USD

Good job! I’ve been looking for that GPU for a while but can’t get one at a price that makes sense. Enjoy gaming!

My only issue with this kind of advice is that, if he gets caught using “soundbar_waker.bat”, IT might get butthurt but he hasn’t really done anything wrong or sketchy. If he’s using “Logitech_driver.bat”, he’s less likely to be caught, but if he is, it’s gonna look a lot worse than it really is.

I think capitalism was a great and necessary thing to get humanity to it’s current post-scarcity state. As you said, production and innovation were really aided by capitalism in the early days of man, but now that we have all the shit we need to survive, all it does is deprive those without.
