DScratch,

Coconut milk ice cream is actually alright.

DScratch,

Check your local mom-and-pop pharmacy. Shoppers and Rexall are all out but 2/3 small pharmacies I asked in had stock.

DScratch,

The paint and metal that flies around inside a tank when it takes a hit is called spalling.

DScratch,

Need names? Whip out a map and start using placenames.

DScratch,

I have a newer OLED and the pixel layout is trash for text.

It’s beautiful when gaming or watching video though. So it balances out imo

DScratch,

Instead of a hone you could make a strop. A 2”x10” bit of leather, buy a stick of stropping compound and you get to feel like an old timey barber.

DScratch,

Hmmm, yep I’m at least straight.

DScratch,

Cut in half by himself

DScratch,

And you can wear a funny tie on Fridays! What fun!!!

My first solo Blender project! (Encoded by a potato!)

DScratch,

The whole place is run by spiders.

DScratch,

Temperature?

DScratch,

All other factors being equal; I’ve found that for dairy milk, making tea in a thermal flask is very different than a mug. The water stays too hot and cooks the milk.

DScratch,

Yep

DScratch,

Posting here is cultural reeeepropriation

DScratch,

If the truck and trailer are included, maybe.

DScratch,

BotW was better, imo. But that doesn’t make as pleasing a headline.

DScratch,

Avoid the Ender as a first printer. Avoid AnyCubic in general (Kobra Go’s are garbage)

Prusa make excellent printers, but charge for them Bambu also make excellent printers but charge for them.

DScratch,

FYI to you or anyone who doesn’t know: If you are browsing the internet on an iOS or iPadOS device you are forced to use the Webkit rendering engine. Chrome, Safari, Brave, Firefox. All of them use Webkit to display web pages because you won’t get an app on the App store if you use anything else. The EU is forcing Apple to allow other browsing tech through the app submission process, so we will see alternatives in the future.

DScratch,

I’d be willing to pay to stop hearing about twitter at this stage.

DScratch,

Wait, isn’t being alone the reason you WANT to pick up chicks?

DScratch,

Based is right

DScratch,

Holy moly that takes me back.

DScratch,

It’s got that LOLRANDOM vibe that I detest. Arc4Random was King.

DScratch,

However, I will share my worst interview experience.

It was for a company that was working on an app to move stock from one car dealership to another. Dealers would sell cars to each other, essentially.

I show up 15 mins early, as is tradition. I check in and wait until the scheduled time. Then 5 mins past, then 10 mins past. At this point I’ve written off this company and call my partner asking if I should just bail out or not. She says even bad interviews are good practice and I should stay the course even if I think this one is a lost cause.

Her wisdom is sound, so I stick around. About 15 mins after the agreed time I am finally asked to meet with the manager. He guides me through what is to this day, the drabbest, driest office I have ever been in. The only colour in the place is a bunting of world flags around the tops of the walls. I get to meet 2 lovely people who both seemed very capable and competent. We have a great time going through some team-fit and technical questions. Then I get to the code challenge. I am provided with a laptop and it is fucking GROSS. Like imagine a keyboard you haven’t cleaned in 5 years kind of gross. The ask was pretty straight forward, download images and display them in a list, the classic ‘keep-shit-off-the-main-thread’ challenge. I’m working away while the EM is paying me no mind whatsoever. He is working away on his computer while I’m doing this. About halfway through I tell him; “I don’t think I’ll have enough time to complete the project”. I’m trying to display a proactive mindset and I expected we’d then talk about paring the project down to an MVP. All classic interview gotchas. His response though was: “Deal with it.” I knew I wasn’t taking any offer they made me when they left me 15 mins late, but God fucking damn did I not expect that level of disrespect. Anyhow, I hauled ass out of there and called up the recruiter who organised it and told him straight up I would rather be unemployed than take a position there, with details as to why. Hoping to save any unfortunate candidate a similar experience.

I still feel bad for the 2 engineers I spoke to, they seemed really cool and undeserving of working under a stone-cold prick of a manager.

DScratch,

Learning to draw. I’d like to be happy with something I do before the year is out. But it’s ok if not.

DScratch,

This is an unpopular opinion, because you are incorrect.

DScratch,

From the moment I understood the weakness of my gender, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of she/her.

DScratch,

In my understanding: What happens is a Heap Buffer Overflow. The Heap is a style of memory and a Buffer is just a chunk of storage where you place something that is a work in progress. (Think a Youtube video buffering, you are waiting for more data to come down so you can play the video)

The WebP image type has the unintended ability to write to more memory than the OS assigns it. It can ‘overflow’.

If you craft a WebP image file just right, you can write malicious code to a location in memory that the OS may think is executable code and then run it, all without the user knowing.

DScratch,

I took up climbing like 2 years ago and it has been excellent for my fitness and demolishing depression. And it’s super fun.

DScratch,

Hello, I have 80 hours on Skyrim recorded in Steam.

I do not like Skyrim.

DScratch,

That is a great question! I’ve certainly asked myself the same thing and the only answer I can come up with in 2 parts.

1: The game is compulsive. While you are playing you want to keep playing. And while the moment to moment interactions are dull (imo) but not so dull as to drive me away. There may be plenty of Oblivion nostalgia keeping me playing.

2: Many of the games problems appear in retrospect. The dumbing down of the subsystems, for example. Much like Outer Worlds; it feels fine while you’re in there but once you stop and step back you realise how crappy they are.

That’s all I got for now.

DScratch,

Ferry man*

DScratch,

That’s not a great joke. I like the idea of a possum getting across the river Styx more.

DScratch,

Not seeing nearly enough actors who played hitler in this thread.

Official Teaser Trailer for Hayao Miyazaki's last Feature film named "The Boy and the Heron" (youtu.be)

PLOT: Mahito, a young 12-year-old boy, struggles to settle in a new town after his mother’s death. However, when a talking heron informs Mahito that his mother is still alive, he enters an abandoned tower in search of her, which takes him to another world....

DScratch,

“Last”

DScratch,

At least 4

DScratch,

I have access to a surface plate, to I use that as a flat reference to sand my build plate back to flat.

DScratch,

Could be a gold moon cup!

DScratch,

The top right horsey moves to block the diagonal guy, while also setting up to ice the king.

DScratch,

I watched it last night and you’re not close. Still not sure I’d recommend it, though.

DScratch,

Trailer companies don’t have access to the whole movie. They just hack together whatever they can maybe with some director input, iirc.

DScratch,

We had Chariots?!

DScratch,

Smacks of Factorio meets Infinifactory

DScratch,

And long drawn out stories that don’t go anywhere.

Like that time I lost my wife? She went off to some town and I just pranced around the countryside for 3 fucking books, which was the style at the time.

DScratch,

Pokémon Go? You hatch eggs by making steps, iirc. (It’s been a while since I played it) You can buy a themed step counter so you don’t have to bring your phone.
