And, unlike engineers in manufacturing whose deep-pocket corporations bought an exemption, Engineers in the A/E/C field are licensed. And if you screw up you can lose your ability to work in your field…forever.

You could say the same for a finite element model. A junior engineer with just 4 years of training can solve, explicitly, the deflection at the center of a slender, simple-simple beam of prismatic section and produce an exact (if slightly incorrect) answer. Building a FEM of the same can solve the problem and take longer (to make the model) with similar accuracy, both of which are good enough for design work.

Only a fool wouldn’t have a FEM around though, as it can solve problem that would take centuries for a human to solve. They may as well make a cartoon with the child digging a 3” hole in beach sand and then showing a backhoe making a jagged edged hole of the same size.

Is this some joke I’m too yo ho ho to understand?

But Meta can already do that through user accounts or through a honeypot/passive instance, correct? All public conversations are open, as are all public user profiles.

Q: why WotC are so committed to making plans that are so anti-consumer

A: fuck you, give us more money

I think you nailed it.

And the revived’s first words are “Dry land is real!”

Any chance there’s a link to the content that isn’t an absolute cancer of a website? Id like to repost, but…yikes.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers approve this message.

When I worked in an office I’d head out to my car and lay the seat back for 15 minutes of shuteye.

Roll over and check to see what time it is on my phone. If it’s within 20 minutes of when I get up, I’ll probably go ahead and shower and make breakfast. If it’s more than an hour before my alarm I’d definitely try to go back to sleep.

Yeah, but can you do it offline/without an active internet connection - the preinstalled windows Netflix app can.

Most of the things you say are missing are installed by default, though some require you to know how to use the command line. Which reminds me…how do you install the Netflix app on Linux? I’d like to watch some shows on my new laptop while I’m on the train.

Aside from the easy part, and a game selection that’s clearly less than pancake, wireless with the Q2 is cheap, wireless (even for PCVR), and stupid fun. Setup is still a bit onerous as nobody in the money chain has a reason to make it easy. OTOH, a $40 router, $10 for virtual desktop, and a balling game PC is all you really need.

I rarely have more than an hour or two for gaming at a times. So the weight of the headset and any battery life issues are moot.

Big target. Either that or the butt wipe that was denied his Reddit username and started creating random long manned communities.

I just sort of assumed we’d all get accounts in 2-3 instances so if one goes down we can still participate elsewhere.

Definitely go in with exceptionally low expectations if you want to have a good time. I was fairly optimistic based on the reviews rampant shilling on Reddit and was pretty disappointed. If you’d asked me for a score right after I watched it I’d go 4/10. In hindsight it’s more of a 6 if you allow that it’s supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek and the stilted dialog is a feature rather than a bug.

With those caveats it’s a perfectly good way to waste two hours if you have nothing better to do. It has no memorable lines or scenes, and is just an average hot-topic-of-the-moment throwaway action movie.

Today’s noobs are tomorrow’s participants and next months’ experts. Take it as a chance to be awesome to one another.

I fucking hate tags.

I don’t think I have anything else to add to the discussion, just wanted to get that off my chest.

It’s worth noting that, of the 30000000 million r/pics members/subscribers, less than 50,000 participated. The venn diagram of new lemmy users and the SJO voters is pretty close to a single circle I’d bet.

This feels like a “technically correct” statement, given that (a) most subs have more than one moderator and (b) one moderator sets the flag to make (“leads”) a sub private. He’s having quite the Principal Skinner moment.
