I believe you can change the scaling algorithm obs uses? Right click the source and go to "scale filter" is what Google is telling me, not at a computer right now. I think it defaults to bicubic which should be ok though? The switch does its own internal scaling a lot of the time and that can look pretty bad though, but unless you get into some serious shenanigans that's basically baked in.

This is the correct answer - I know because I was there 10000 years ago and had to decide between this and buying a special case from koolance. Amusingly they still sell one for the outside.

They can also be handy if you have to do anything weird like route display cables from the GPU to the motherboard like for a thunderbolt display.

I found this video weird, because it seems like something you would post for a more general audience, but it front loads and spends a really long time on espresso machine maintenance. Even within his audience it feels like way more people will own and use a drip coffee machine, which they don't spend much time on. Especially if you should actually put drip machine parts in the dishwasher - the manual often says it's safe.

As far as I've found, they're both right. You shouldn't have to wash your mushrooms, but it's not a bad idea if you're not buying fancy mushrooms.

The generic button mushroom variants you're probably getting at the grocery store are grown in compost, which often contains some manure - ie poops.

But before growing mushrooms it's pasteurized. Mycelium is picky, and fairly easily out-competed by other stuff, so to make sure you're just growing mushrooms and not bacteria you basically have to sterilize the medium they're grown in.

But those mushrooms are often grown in open beds, and harvested by hand. And that means they get that poop dirt right up on them. Will it immediately give you super botulism? Probably not but it's still kinda ick.

Fancier mushroom varieties from smaller cultivars are the ones that actually don't really need washed and often shouldn't be. They're grown in highly sterile environments and they fruit out of a container, so they never touched the poop. And that's if they even used compost - lots use straw or wood.

If you do decide to wash your button mushrooms it's not a big deal, they aren't actually sponges, and they don't absorb as much water as some cooking shows say. If they get soggy it probably means they're old, try putting them in the fridge for a few hours uncovered. It's basically a dehydrator.

Ok I'm in a waiting room super bored so forgive my ridiculous takes, but the second one is probably a better logo even if the design is worse in a bunch of ways.

So, first lets look at Morgan as a brand. It's a known brand, but not exactly top shelf stuff. From what I can find, they seem to be trying to change that, moving into the ready-to-drink and doing a bunch of social media stuff. they've moved from using artificial vanilla flavor to real *Madagascar vanilla* which is definitely more marketable no matter if it actually tastes better or not.

So as part of that they've redesigned basically all their labels and that means they need vibe with the modern upmarket design trends which right now are to use more type and negative space, and to ape design from the era around the 50s and maybe 60s. It goes with the current retro packaging design trend but doesn't alienate older people like the 70s based stuff, which is usually aimed at a younger market segment. It's old enough to feel "classy" even if the customer is old.

As part of that, the large illustration doesn't fit. Printing full color like that in the era it's aping was expensive so it feels out of place, and you just don't have space for it if you want a clean look. So it's got to be way smaller. The old label has the illustration as basically the main focal point - it's huge. The new one has it as a small design point. The illustration just doesn't work at that size. On a little 50ml bottle it's going to be like 4mm high. Here's a photo I found.

The new one actually reads pretty similar even though it's like half as tall and only uses 2 colors. When it's on a bottle that small and sitting next to Admiral Nelson and Lady Bligh which still use big full color illustratons on their labels can you tell which one is which?

But here's the thing, the captain isn't even actually the logo. The logo is the name, it's the same logotype. They didn't change that. They changed the mascot. It's pretty important to note that there's a big difference. A logo basically is your branding. It needs to work at any size, in any medium, and be instantly recognizable. That generally means it needs to be pretty simple. The Morgan logotype works great as a logo, but the mascot until now really didn't. You can tell because if you look around there are about 50 different versions because the big full color illustration doesn't work more often than it does. The new one will.

With all that defense I will say there are a few kind of dumb moves. The treasure chest is clearly a terrible idea. Like, if they were swapping it in on the non-alcoholic lines it would be kind of great but on everything it's dumb. And I definitely would have fought for a puffy shirt instead of the collared one, if nothing else than for historical accuracy - I don't think you can even wear shirts if the era unbuttoned with a collar like that. Edit- honestly they might be going intentionally anachronistic so that you can "cosplay" as the captain easily. Do the pose, hard cut to the captain logo, it writes itself. Which would be kind of clever but if that were the case I might have pushed the whole thing to be slightly more androgynous.

Anyway, I keep seeing this take over and over again, that everything is moving to minimalist blobs for logos, and while sometimes there's definitely a point (the cross branding for Google's apps on Android come to mind) a lot of the time there done just like this - with two large copies next to each other. And when you frame it like that of course the detailed one will look better. But when your logo has to shrink to 32x32px on a crappy Android phone or be printed like 5mm wide in black and white the simpler one is going to look way better.

Anyway thanks for coming to my Ted talk I guess.

Tldr: the guy isn't the logo he's the mascot and the new one can be printed small.

Yes, how dare someone try to engage with the artist. Art is for looking at, going "hmm that's nice" and then never talking about it again.

Because Bedrock runs on phones, tablets, consoles, and a host of other random crap, and does so relatively well. Because of that the install base and playtime especially among younger players is actually massively skewed toward Bedrock being the more used. Add to that rumors that the Java codebase at least was a terrible mess, and the performance issues Java edition still has to this day and it's no wonder they wanted to do a full rewrite, especially after having to make things like the console editions and even one for the 3DS.

The windows launcher is annoying though.

Ok I have an amount of experience with basically everything going on here so here's what you should do:

First, find the listing and see if they have WiFi listed as an amenity. If they do great, you can complain to Airbnb as a last resort. If they don't you can't, which honestly probably isn't going to change much unless they are turds.

Second, do a few speed tests around the house, especially next to the other duplex unit. On the Airbnb app, send a screenshot of them and say something to the effect of "hey we noticed the Internet is slow, are you having issues too?"

Either they never checked if the downstairs WiFi and there's no signal, or there's a problem with the Internet and they need to call the company. Both are pretty viable. Does your phone say 75% signal or -75db? -75db is not great, but 75% should be ok. If you get faster speeds near the other unit it's likely their WiFi.

The other option is they have issues too. Fixed wireless can run into issues when things change like radar frequencies. They can call the company and get it fixed pretty quick. Even if they aren't paying for the faster speeds the ping shouldn't be anywhere near 600ms. Like, I lived with wireless internet for a long while and it's slow or shouldn't be that painfully slow.

Don't just suffer through, often people don't mention this kind of stuff and if the hosts aren't on top of their tech they don't know it's an issue. There was an issue with the Wi-Fi firmware on a unit I do work for and the guests only mentioned it at the end of their month long stay. They should be willing to work with you especially if they advertise wifi but honestly probably even if they don't. Like, just don't be an ass about it and they'll probably be pretty accommodating.

I continue to contend that Weird Al would put on the greatest Superbowl halftime show of all time.

No one memed on Elon when he shut down his tracker? Or Kylie Jenner for the 3 minute flight?

You need quotes around the font name. Courier works because it's one word.
