“Welcome to Applebee’s! Would you like apples or bees?”

“Bees?”

“HE PICKED THE BEES!” chefs angrily shake jars of bees

Here’s the map of the April eclipse across the US. It will go from Dallas Texas and curve off through Buffalo New York and maine:

My guess is a 3D movie mixed with a 6DoF motion setup. 9D still sounds stupid though.

Neat fact to know. I always love learning new things.

The audit was not about finding the exact cause of the previous incidents:

The audit, which is kind of like a quality control inspection for large companies, analyzed 89 aspects of Boeing’s 737 Max production

The audit looks at current production to assess wether or not everything is being done to prevent further hazards (they failed over a third of the inspections). Determining what caused the past incidents would be assigned to the equivalent of crime scene investigators (FAA detectives?).

Determining production line compliance and investigating the cause of a major malfunction are two entirely different beasts.

I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don’t have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

Anyone here remember the old flash game Junkbot?

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you generate images this easily and with such speed? I’m running auto 1111 and it takes a minute or two to generate a single image. Does it come down to certain software, or do you need to have seriously powerful hardware?

I just want that dino as a fren

Exactly. Like, how hard would it be to reverse engineer the poison and create a reversal tool that applies the exact opposite modifications. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if it could be defeated by something as simple as a little image compression or noise.

Here’s my variant of the quote:

Many of the most talented engineers of our time don’t do anything important — instead, they work on making our entertainment more immersive.

They work on better 3D renderers, more appealing shaders, faster VR hardware, better spatial sound, more powerful game engines, more immersive games, more colorful phone screens, more eye-catching app animations, etc.

The point he’s failing to understand is that all of these “useless” innovations are a part of what is pushing the edge of technological innovation. Sure, while the direct goal of each one is often entertainment, indirectly they all push the limits of a technology.

• 3D renders - I would venture to saw that there are a lot of parallels between rendering and scientific computer simulations. Especially light simulations.
• VR hardware - Ultra low latency innovations for displays, motion tracking, and wireless communications, to name a few things. All in one headsets are pushing miniaturization too.
• Game engines - This one made me laugh. Game engines affect more than just games. They push physics engines, rendering, scripting languages, 3D modeling, etc. so forward.
• Phone screens - Another knee slapper. Phones have arguably been the leading technology in the miniaturization of technology. Those better screens have influenced every device with a screen smaller than a TV.

I second this. A 100 dollar bill just gets saved in my safe. However, if I’m given something like an Amazon gift card, I have zero reason to not spend it.

Granted, the things I would want are very particular and normally on the expensive side, so I would rather have people give me a bit of money to go towards said things.
