  • GOP Staffers Say the Party Has a Groyper Problem

  • Read this as "groper" problem and agreed

  • Did you attend your high school reunion? Why or Why not?

    Jump

  • This year would be my 25th. Never been invited to a single one. There have been several, as a friend has confirmed.

    I'm not worried about ever seeing those assholes again. K-12 was spent being tormented for being different. Not something I need to relive.

    If I was invited, I doubt I'd go. It's not even worth my time to flex on someone I couldn't be bothered to give a cold shit about.

    I keep in touch with my real friends, always. No need to reuinte with a bunch of bigots who made my youth a hell in a box.

  • What's your favorite Jim Henson puppet/practical effect?

    Jump

  • FarScape is amazing for a lot of reasons.

    While not a special effect, I always loved the Muppet Show for its antics in particular. They did so much with practical effects, and they did it amazingly well.

    Please enjoy one of my personal favorites, The Windmills of Your Mind.

    I'm also going to nod at Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" for being a methed out seedy underworld puppet variety show movie. The effects are super campy and cheap. It's spectacular low budget grade b nonsense that will make you go "what the fuck did i just watch?".

  • Ears and beans

    Jump

  • Those bigass ears are so adorable.

  • GoPro is in serious financial trouble. Action camera giant is at risk for potential bankruptcy

    Jump

  • My last experience with gopro was many years ago trying to get a firmware update for one of my hero 3's. The download links for the firmware was there, but broken. It needed the attention of someone on their web management team.

    I tried to get support via email but was told I had to go to the community forums for the issue. I found a thread of dozens of other users also pinging support and complaining of a broken link.

    That thread went unanswered by support for months if not a year or two. I think it eventually got fixed, but it put such a bad taste in my mouth that so many people reported that their site was broken and they just ignored it. It was probably something simple like a bad character in the page code somewhere. I decided I wasn't going to support this sort of behavior and have not spent any additional money with the company since then.

    It's no surprise to hear they're struggling financially. When you cater to the premium market space, you have to provide premium service.

  • Trump Moves to Settlement Talks In $10 Billion Lawsuit Against His Own IRS

    Jump

  • An attempt to make him accountable like every other president's published tax returns before him. He does not let himself be held accountable for anything whatsoever.

  • What is something that desperately needs to be standardized?

    Jump

  • Every single one of my machines is set up to run metric so I don't have to constantly convert 64's and 8's and thou's fractional units between denominators, which is exactly why I'd rather type .0254mm than 1/1000. I absolutely cannot stand using different fractional denominators or that a foot is divided by 12, but everything else isn't. You've probably used it for years and are used to it, but approaching it with a rational mind seems like unnecessary work and risk of miscalculation.

    Every number I use can easily be interchanged for another unit.

  • What is something that desperately needs to be standardized?

    Jump

  • I really want everyone to use the metric system. Imperial is just awful to use for most design and machine purposes.

  • ReFS is better than NTFS, but Microsoft refuses to let regular users have it

    Jump

  • This. NTFS is still the gold standard for stability. ReFS is meant for data ops, and while it's fairly stable, and offers a lot of advantages, it's not perfect and can suffer greatly if used incorrectly. Until the quirks are gone, users are probably better off with NTFS for a lot of reasons.

  • What weird names did you give things as a kid when you didn't know the real name?

    Jump

  • My kids used to call the play place with all of the inflatable bounce houses "the bouncy store".

    My eldest couldn't remember the name for bagpipes and called them "autotuned hornbags" which is one of my favorites, and I still use it.

    In relation to mario kart, we had no idea what the superhorn was called, we always called in "The Honkerbanger". Likewise we didn't understand what the drafting sprites were in MK on the wii, it looked like the person in front of you was sweating big droplets of water. We'd say we were "getting sweat".

  • Which plants (or fungi) are the worst, and why?

    Jump

  • Some programs really teach you to save regularly

    Jump

  • On my most recent new install of gimp a few weeks back, it now has a reopen last documents feature, and I think it does now cache your last open files in the event of a crash.

    I've been using GIMP since the mid 2000's as a replacement for Photoshop4/5 and it has always been a great tool. I haven't ever really had any major stability issues with it.
