There are people that I’ve worked with like this. On their cell phone and desk phone plus talking to a person in the office, still able to listen for alerts in the shop. Seriously impressive.

Check out this sweet moof!

I will warn you it’s a bit of a hassle to get working due to GIMP and Python’s version hell.

If you want me to try and help, feel free to DM me and I’ll do my best. I’ve only done like 4 successful prints with it so far.

I work in the screen printing industry and one of the things that is generally very difficult to do without many hours of work is take a photographic image and make it work for the screen printing press. An expert can do it in 15-30 minutes.

For most non skin-tone images (we generally fall back to heat transfer for human faces), I wrote a GIMP plugin (in Python) that allows you to extract each color of the image into its own layer with an automated process that’s done in a few seconds.

It’s not as good as the expert result, but it’s also infinitely easier to do. Also, GIMP 3 released like a month after this was finished and I don’t know if I can be bothered to port it.

Here’s the page for the project: https://github.com/otacon239/inksplit

I’ve learned to make characters that are good at getting out of a room as well as being able to sneak. I will inevitably get caught right after finding the McGuffin, so I might as well have an exit strategy.

without assurances they won’t be tortured

That’s just it. They’re not even saying that.

First answer: yes

Second answer: is that profitable?

I love memes like this where the picture seemingly has nothing to do with the text

You Oughtta Look Out

This is the first time I’ve heard his voice and he sounds… human. Aside from Bernie, most every other politician I’ve heard in recent years sound rehearsed, even when they’re not, and they sound so unnatural for it. I wouldn’t want to be caught in an elevator with them mostly for fear of conversation.

But this guy is someone you’d excitedly hope finds a reason to strike up a conversation with you. He has true motive in his voice and I’m excited for him.

Big Time conspiracy. I love it.

Pure ear candy

I work in a design industry that requires a lot of source files so I end up having to constantly switch. Lists when I’m looking for the relevant folder, or looking for a particular file based on name, or icons if I’m looking for something based on image. There’s no consistent way to switch between them with a keyboard shortcut among different OSs, either.

I agree that listening in public is a crime.

On a side note, if anyone here has heard some of the latest gen iPhones, they honestly sound dramatically better than the vast majority of Bluetooth speakers, especially when held sideways for stereo. At medium volume with my eyes closed, it sounds comparable to my MacBook speakers. I’m seriously shocked at whatever magic Apple is pulling off there.

Obviously neither compare to an audiophile setup, but they’re far above listenable.

I’ve not yet heard an Android compare personally, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

I’m the Supervisor - Infected Mushroom

I honestly recommend everything from them if you’re looking for unique sound. The He.art album by Astrix also has some weird.

Enigma also has some great soundscapes. My personal favorite album is MCMX A.D.

G-Dang it! I normally have no filter for profanity, so people always laugh when I use it. I stole it from the Neature Walk series on YouTube.

But that’s exactly what an encyclopedia is. The internet isn’t Wikipedia. The real difference was that the library was now in your living room. You didn’t have to hope they had the material on hand and wait weeks for something specific if they didn’t have it already on hand.

There’s also just the idea that, with a library, you already have to have an idea of what to look for. You’re always browsing by genre in an alphabetical, organized fashion. With the internet, it could become discovery-based. One link could lead you to 13 others and those all branched again. You never knew what to expect.

A book contains either one really clear idea, or a reference with no substance to a bunch of random stuff.

A progressive wave? Progress??? IN MY COUNTRY?!?!?!
