I don’t know a ton about piefed , but wouldn’t that be more likely to divide the community?

Because of w10 ending, and my unwillingness to keep dealing with their horrid bullshit, I’m switching every machine in my offices to Linux mint. I’m not thrilled to have to learn a new os, but so far everything I need works, and it’s not that big of a jump outside of the file system structure being a bit less straight forward.

Kick ass spooky unicorn pidgeons

Where did they get this article, 1993?

I think most movies are dogshit, but the bad ones are fun to riff on with my friends.

My criteria for what makes a good movie seem straight forward to me, but apparently I ask too much as shown by the vast majority of movies being frustratingly bad.

I can suspend disbelief for lore and character, but not for blatantly dumb decision making, plot holes, or forcing a story event. Entire plot lines based on simple misunderstandings ruin stories immediately for me, as do hamfisted agenda pushing, or stories hinging on “common knowledge” that’s known bullshit. (Looking at whatever that movie was a few years back that started with the narrator stating we only use 10% of our brains, fuck off.)

Horror movies have their own indurating problems, which is too bad since it’s my favorite genre when done well. For some reason, people always act like they’re in a horror movie. Gotta check something in the basement? Better walk slow and look nervous, it’s not totally unreasonable for someone to be afraid of their own fucking basement. Or the polar opposite, everything is fine no matter what, and I’m sure the several missing people are just playing a prank.

Can this problem be solved with simple communication? We better find some bullshit way to get rid of cell phones. uh, the battery died. Uh, ghosts aliens and monsters block signals. Uh the antagonists is a tech expert who jams phones. Uh, they’re in the woods, there’s no signal. (I’ve been in the woods, there’s a signal.) Or they just decide to give up and base the plot in the 80s.

Lazy writing, in other words.

This took too long and I’ve lost interest in my rant, but I’ll post it anyway.

You’re not wrong, but like, ouch.

That sounds great. I don’t have any of that shit.

These dudes hang out in my shed and scare the shit our of me when they suddenly blast off.

Shrodingers law is the goal of therapy

Between 35 and 51.if we assume a reasonable stacking technique for stability, every box not on top can be supported on 3 sides at 40.

We also don’t know that every box is the same size. With that format screw it could be as low as 21.

This is why mechanical diagrams include an isometric view and xray lines.

Edit: I see now it specifies cubes, so the number couldn’t be 21, but it could still be less than 35. I’m not figuring that one out.

Also why can’t you see the trailer in the top view when it protrudes on the sides?

She looks so weird in this picture I thought it was a screenshot from the game.

Reminded me of an old meme I saw in like 2009.

A damn fine roast you threw together there

Looks like a sick new risk of rain character

It would be funny as hell to make unrelated songs with the overcomplicated names from fallout boy and panic at the disco

Just thinking about that today, listening to creep by stone temple pilots. Creep was the first hit by Radiohead, and another came out by TLC

Yeah. Also it’s full of beans.

My main office has 8 employees. We clean our own place. If you need a cleaner, hire one. If you’re not big enough to support that, clean it yourself. Maybe you need phones answered, hire someone that can clean when they’re not on the phone.

If you needed to have a composer, they become part of your team, or you buy music from them. The composer wouldn’t be a contractor from a company, but rather somene who produces their own art and can sell it as they see fit, or they work on the payroll for the project. This not only gives more power to creators, but cuts out every leech middleman driving up prices and lowering average wages. Mass communication through the internet has killed the necessity for giant advertising firms to get your name out there.

For franchises, I would argue anyone running a McDonalds works for McDonalds. Hit that cap of 2500, and suddenly there’s room for competition and innovation, instead of a sea of the same trash everywhere you go.

Easy laws that could stop this bullshit:

1. A company can’t own other companies.

2. A company cannot have more than 2500 employees.

3. A company cannot employ contractors, outside or temporary workers numbering more than 10% of it’s total work force.

No mega corporations, no buying out competition, no loopholes to employment standards.

Edit; forgot a main one

4. The highest paid individual cannot make more than 40x the lowest paid employee.

No c suite billionaires avoiding paying the workers.

Well if we could get 44 million of these going 24/7 we could counteract the ice caps in Greenland melting.
