The awesomeness of these achievements by the ancient Egyptians/mayans/chinese, the awesomeness of paleontology, the awesomeness of the Grand Canyon, mountains, oceans, evolution, the internet… they will never really appreciate the beauty of the world, man made and otherwise.
I especially love how the "robot’ has no supporting structure or apparent limb motors or power supply, just a big receiver and computer-ish thing. I guess the rest is good old fashioned four-color magic.
Oh man, the memories… it wasn’t so long after “Best of Both Worlds” aired for the first time, that the Bill Gates of Borg meme was going viral on BBSs and Usenet. Oh how we laughed… and cried, for it was funny but true.
Is that not how it works? I could have sworn I had it working that way the last time I used it in 2017. Had it rigged up as the location for Da Vinci Resolve database saves and also as a backup location for an Avid project that automatically copied to that folder every day. Wasn’t a fan of OneDrive as I had dropbox personally and didn’t want another cloud service where I stored all my data as one was probably bad enough, however the production I was working on had no IT infrastructure and no money and the computer we rented for the production for some reason seemed to offer oneDrive for free with the machine. (Maybe it was something to do with the 365 subscription it had?). On that basis since it was already there I used it and it actually ended up saving our asses later on after some other backup procedures didn’t end up being followed as they should have and the piece of shit rental machine totally and catastrophically broke. Still haven’t used it since, but I was pretty happy with it at the time and was only able to do all that because it was indeed a regular folder location on the machine that happened to sync with the cloud.
OneDrive decided to kick on after an overnight update and uploaded some projects and vst plugins to the cloud. Apparently, the files weren’t accessible except via the cloud, so I lost a few hours re-downloading my folders before I could do anything. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more furious over technology that I theoretically owned.
I got a PC in order to eventually go back to Linux, where at least I know that when something goes wrong, it’s generally my own fault and somewhat easy to troubleshoot. Unfortunately, the plugins I’ve been using only have Windows and Mac versions. If I had done a bit more research, I probably would have just gone with an apple device.
I’ve made a specific email for NSFW 18+ internet websites (there’s one with achievements and I wanted to have recommendations) and this email address, being used at every single site I’ve visited more often, never got leaked.
Meanwhile I log in with Google and 4 hours later the nigerian prince asks me why I have changed my email address.
Sadly no, I haven’t received any spam on my 131 forwarding addresses. I have however, received spam on my new main account after sharing the address with my local hairdresser.
What you need to do is get each individual hair cut by a different hairdresser and then you can see which one is selling your account details or something
This means that with the same energy used to reassemble a taco that’s cracked down the center, if I had wanted to unclog the downstairs toilet, it would have taken me between 184 and 400 years. If I had been deprived the use of lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, ground beef, and everything I showed the plumber that I said the plumber could not have, I probably would not have been able to unclog the toilet until I move out 6 to 9 months from now. So, it is clear that no plumber could have unclogged my toilet. It is a project that given the tacos available by the time it got clogged would have taken several generations of plumbers to complete.
If the plumber working in my bathroom while I ate chips could not unclog my toilet in 40 minutes, then no people in that downstairs bathroom could. So who unclogged it? And when? And do I still have to pay?
