If nails were standardised then yeah all this would be overkill. But new nails and heck, wood types are coming out all the time, and you definitely can’t build a spice rack with the wrong tools.

Help?

Fat Bastard

Ding - crazy good prosthetics, right?

It really isn’t. I do agree that for most purposes a static network with some central public nodes is the answer, but I want something more dynamic

I love Captain D, the way he takes apart a scene in Blender is an art form in itself.

I guess the question I’m asking is, normally when editing comes into play you can sort of notice it through one way or another. There’s an uncannyness to it that makes it jarring, whereas in Austin Powers I never once clocked on that I was watching the same person. Did they use really sophisticated techniques for this? Was the campiness and comedic tone of the film itself a good distraction from any editing goofs?

If it was a more sombre film, would I notice it more I wonder?

Edit: @Aurenkin mentions the ping-pong scene in the 2019 Moon film, which has a more mature tone and the editing there was definitely flawless.

My mum used to be that way sometimes, but we’ve called her out on it enough times in public that she knows that she doesn’t have our support and she has slowly learned to stop doing that

They’re saying it wrong. The question is: “yerright?” which could be interpreted as “are you alright?” but has enough wiggle room for “you are right” and “I acknowledge your rights”.

Easy.

Easy fix: “Hi, I’m Abe/Adi/Dolf”

Sixteen hours of “I know I know” from Bill Withers’ Ain’t no Sunshine? Take my money!

They were definitely just going to protect the natives, that’s the lovable British empire that I know

Nah. Environment needs to pay

I love how Tobias immediately knows.

“The game? What game? Admire the sheer beauty of this bold and majestic man.”

For real. I just spent a decade in academia working dog hours with little pay keeping services running wondering how the true devs and sysadmins do it.

I recently switched to the corporate world and have peeked behind curtain of competency: headless chickens running around, patching failing products rather than spending time to properly fix them because immediate results are the only metric that counts.

Stability, scalability, reproducibility? Forget it, that’s someone else’s problem apparently.

Oh, interesting!

Alright you lost me here

If you really want to experience time, stare at an analog clock without a seconds hand, for 5 excruciating minutes.

A washing machine minute is 20 normal minutes

A lot of them have pretty good PostmarketOS support too, so can double down as a Linux server if you ever move on to another devicd
