Dude, it literally says it in the article in the post. If you can't be bothered to read it that's not my problem. I'm not going to go through and post quotes and links to an article that the post has already provided. It's not difficult, just click the link in the post
I got to see them live way back in like 2000!!! One of the best live shows I've ever been to!
That's hilarious! I used to love that game and I still rock the soundtrack sometimes lol
Well, it comes in handy as a mini pry tool, a mini scraper, and on occasion it can even work as an improvised screw driver! You can also use it to play the guitar in a pinch lol
Yes. It says it quite clearly in the article above. That's where I read it.
Our chief weapon is surprise! Surprise and fear! Fear and surprise... Our TWO weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency. Our THREE weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Our FOUR... no... Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry... are such elements as fear, surprise... I'll come in again.
I got this wonderful grey/brown sweater once that I loved. It was just big enough that I would describe it as "comfy". I decided to wear it to work one day and was immediately told I looked like Gimli in that LOTR scene where he tries to wear human sized armor... 😭
A few years ago I had to get picked up by an ambulance, and got to pay $500 for the privilege.
That was the cost with insurance, and my job actually has pretty good insurance...
You’ll need to make a licensing deal, like Google and OpenAI have done, to use Reddit content for model training and other commercial purposes.
So it's not actually about protecting anyone's data, or making the internet a nicer place to be at all, Huffman is just mad that they're potentially missing out on more revenue streams. I can't say I'm surprised
Here's a little scenario that played out at work the other day...
Dramatis personae:
M - who is Me. Customer service agent extrodinaire.
C - who is a dumbass cranky customer
Our scene opens on your humble narrator diligently toiling at his work station
M: Thank you for calling The Company, my name is M, may I have your name please?
C: yeah yeah, my name is C, and I got a lot of problems with you people! Do you know how many times that damned robot voice tried to send me messages? I just want to talk to a person dammit!
M: I'm so sorry to hear you're having a bad experience sir! I'll be happy to help you with anything you need, but it does appear you have enabled two factor authentication, so I'll need to send a link to your phone so I can access your account
C: THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS! YOU CAN'T JUST TELL ME WHAT I WANT???? I PAY YOU PEOPLE A FORTUNE EVERY MONTH AND I CAN'T EVEN ASK A DAMNED QUESTION??? THIS COMPANY IS A FUCKING JOKE!!!
M: Yes sir, I know the enhanced security requirements can be frustrating, but unfortunately we've had to update them in order to make sure our customers accounts remain secure. It should just take a moment for me to send the message though and all you have to do is click the link! Can I go ahead and send it to your number on file?
C: are you fucking kidding me here? Is this what I pay for every goddamned month??? ALL I WANT TO DO IS ASK A QUESTION AND YOU ARE REFUSING TO HELP ME!!! GET ME YOUR SUPERVISOR! NOW!
M: again sir, I understand how frustrating this can be. Unfortunately in order to protect your security, I cannot give you any information or transfer you to anyone else until we have verified your account. If you would prefer not to verify the account that is certainly your right though. Was there anything else I can help you with today?
C: (sighs dramatically) fine... just send me the goddamned thing... I'm leaving this joke of a company tomorrow though.
M: well sir I would hate for you to have to go to a competitor who doesn't value your security as much as we do here at The Company. I'll send that message out. You should be getting it right.... now
(Mr C grumbles incoherently as he clicks the link. It takes him all of two seconds.)
C: THERE! I did what you ORDERED! Now will you PLEASE help me with my account???
M: Absolutely sir! What can I help you with today?
C: I have gotten at least 20 messages from you people today telling me some bullshit about approving an order being placed on my account! I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING!!! DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING OVER THERE???
(I pause to take a brief respite and collect my thoughts as I feel a little piece of my soul dying)
M: That is a very serious issue sir! It appears someone was attempting to access your account online, and nearly managed to place an order for almost $5000 worth of equipment! It looks like the order was canceled because they couldn't get past your (here it comes) enhanced two factor authentication requirements.
C: ...oh. Thank you have a nice day (click)
(I scream internally, yet god does not listen)
END SCENE
2 hours? That sounds marvelous! Right now I get all caffeinated and then tether myself to a headset for 8 hours lol
Working on finishing Yubaba's son (in his mouse form)! He looks a bit like a zombie mouse right now, but that will change once I finish the eyes lol
After a little over a year of stitching now I still feel like a bit of a noob, but I'm pretty comfortable with the basics. These parts of patterns still give me some problems though!
My strategy is usually to just do all of one color then move on to the next filling in the gaps as I go, but when it gets down to filling individual stitches surrounded by a bunch of finished stitches it gets quite cramped and sometimes those final stitches end up looking pretty rough.
Is there some really obvious method of doing this that I'm missing? Does anyone else use a different approach?
I got behind due to a lot of stuff going on in my life, but I managed to make some progress still! Sadly because I've been working on it here and there I had some mistakes that resulted in me having to frog a bunch of stitches to get back on track, but it's looking good now!
I don't think I've built a model in nearly a decade, but I was feeling very low today and something about this little kitchen scene I found at the local craft shop really appealed to me!
I did not realize how many fiddly little parts there were to this one lol I think No-Face and Haku should go a bit faster once I get to them though!
I found some old negatives the last time I visited and this guy was in there!
It's literally in the article my source is right there. The only person trolling at this point is you. There is literally nothing I can quote here that isn't in the article, so copying and pasting it for you serves no purpose. I am done arguing with you about it, so I am blocking you now.
Have a nice day
