  • I've always been a fan of the prehistoric plants ( though if I'm being pedantic the vast majority of plants are prehistoric). Araucaria and Dicksonia are the best of the best!

  • What's an album with a completely unique sound

    Jump

  • The Prodigy - The Fat of The Land

    It's a one of a kind album. I don't think the prodigy ever made another album that good. And I don't think there is anything else out there similar to it. It has its own energy, it's definitely a unicorn type.

  • Gee that brings me some flashbacks!

  • Video games with good cave and dungeon ambience music? (Other than TES)

    Jump

  • I looked this up and the music was great, but I found it too epic and/or expressive for what I was after. I guess that's what art is about, right? I'm definitely keeping this in mind for something else, I was looking for something more mellow in this occasion. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm loving the answers so far

  • I searched this and hey some of the dungeon delving tracks were really good, thanks for the suggestion!

  • I haven't played either game and both are on my list. I searched the witcher soundtrack and I think it's really good, I was impressed. But I found the cave/dungeon/crypt music a bit too intense for what I was after. Great suggestion though

    I haven't searched BG2... I have hopes of playing the game soon.

  • I gave it a shot, found some nice ones there, thanks for the suggestion :)

  • Finally I get the time to reply here! The aquatic ambience is cool, but overall I found them too high energy for what I was after. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm loving the replies

  • Birthday Gift for a smart 6 year old girl

    Jump

  • Maybe not in the "smart mind challenging" category but there are plenty of craft kits for your budget: paint canvases by numbers, make your own accessories with clay, bead jewelry, basic engineering kits (build your own robot types), dig your own fossil kits, build-this-or-that-with-LEDlights, gardening kits for kids, etc.

    My point is to expand your horizon a bit, it's perfectly fine that you want to cater to her intelligence and not just go for something girly in a cliche sense. But she can also enjoy crafting stuff.

  • People who don't like math, why?

    Jump

  • It's just extremely difficult for me to hold a value in my head and perform an operation against another. I do understand the operations though, the concept is fine, the problem is that of numerical values. Numbers. I'm horrible with them. Always had problems remembering important historical dates, my own personal numbers (ids, age, etc). Because it's such a struggle it becomes very tiring very quickly, and frustrating. That's what's hard.

  • Should I go back to my old job?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't go back. You've been there for too long already. Nothing says you need to stick with the new place either. I would be looking for another job if possible, you have a solid decade of holding your previous job if you feel queasy about having a <1yr position in your resume. It's understandable to not like a new position/company change, your previous role gives testament to your potential as a long term employee.

  • Reading other comments, I see this amount would equal to 17 years of payments. There is no right answer. If it were me, I'd go for the lump, but I'm well aware that I am good at managing my own money in the sense that I don't overspend, no matter what the bank account says. I'm naturally frugal.

    I think the main considerations you need to take are: your personality, which you suggest you can't trust yourself with that much money; on the other hand, the payee's personality and the unexpected, ie., are they reliable enough to pay monthly or will they owe you? What if they die in a couple years? What if they go bankrupt? Etc. (not sure if there are system failsafes for these scenarios where you live).

    I would suggest get the lump, deposit 80% of if or so in a fixed account with a high rate that won't let you withdraw in a couple years, use the remaining 20% to keep yourself alive until you find a job. Once you get a bit more used to managing your own money you can decide what to do with the rest.

  • Will Smith's concert crowds are real, but AI is blurring the lines

    Jump

  • Ugh. Yeah I see why they would want to move the crowds if they were stills. It's dumb though, would have been much easier to just shoot footage of the crowds in the first place.

    I didn't like YT upscaling and sharpening content without consent, I upload some portfolio pieces occasionally and having to contend with this garbage now doesn't make me look forward to it.

    Thanks for the TLDR

  • I don't know if I want to click this bait, why would you need to alter the crowds if they're there already?

  • Google to require developer verification to install and sideload Android apps

    Jump

  • Haven't read the article yet. Why is Google doing this??? Side loading is a feature, if you are concerned about user scams then leave a way out for people who understand the risks.

    Edit: wait is this retaliation for the Play Store No Monopoly thing? Stinking bastards
