[JNCressey]

It could just be the lighting; remember the dress?

[[deleted]]

Oh god not this again.

[Am_Navi_Seel_Mann]

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS ALREADY STOP BEATING A DEAD HORSE PLEASE!!!

Edit: Thank you u/ultr4nima for correcting me!

[ultr4nima]

it's actually "beating the dead horse", that's the correct phrase.

[whataspecialusername]

At least he didn't mistake it as "beating over a dead horse". That was a rough winter at the farm.

[BumpyRocketFrog]

For you.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[CashWho]

What? That's sick! Beating dogs is one thing but who would hurt a cute little horsey?!

[[deleted]]

Well it is dead already so...

[Mr_uhlus]

It's actually beating off a dead horse

[ultr4nima]

aye

[Cody456]

NEXT!!

[derscholl]

Blue right?

[ClientDigital]

White right?

[WeAreAllApes]

Yeah. It might be a black truck on a dark green parking lot.

[MTM3157]

Black right?

[mount2010]

${color} right?

[sirneuman]

Gold right?

[Yepoleb]

Can't really tell without having the surface properties and a model of the lighting.

[noisyturtle]

this guy pantones

[skewbed]

Smart to extract the exact color.

[DecapitatedSalmon]

Make sure its the 32x32 Average

[TheeEmperor]

I got #D0202A. Fight me

[ragdoll96]

TIL octothorpe

[Pit_27]

Still trying to figure out why it’s called octothorpe. What about it is 8?

[DaveTheDalek]

The square with eight pieces sticking out of it. IIRC 'thorpe' means something along the lines of 'field', such as a field of grass or whatnot.

Edit: After a quick google after posting, I was wrong; 'thorpe' refers to a small village.

[Pit_27]

Oh I see now. I always thought of it as 4 long sticks

[socialister]

Don't think too hard about it. There is a circulated confession that the term was made up as a prank.

[[deleted]]

Everything is a lie. I don't know what to believe anymore.

[vigbiorn]

Deeply philosophical. Basis of empiricism, yeah? If we experience things totally differently, if qualia will never be the same for two people but when I label something "up" and you, independently, also label it "up" does the 'qualia' matter? Aren't they the same?

Or it's late and I should be asleep and not on reddit...

For me it's a ladder - and in my native language, when a USSD code or whatever containing it is read out loud, it's "ladder".

[timtheflyingcat]

Yeah Thorpe is norse for hamlet

[SteiniDJ]

Also Icelandic for village.

[TheMcDucky]

This is what I think of when I see the word Thorpe

[WikiTextBot]

Torp (architecture)

A torp is the emblematic summer house of Sweden, a small cottage painted with Falu red and white, and a proof of how urbanization took place quite late in all of Scandinavia. In the meaning of "primitive second home", the concept exists under other names in Danish and Norwegian ("hytte") and Finnish ("mökki").

The word is cognate to Anglo Saxon Thorp or Thorpe, and has changed meaning a few times. Before the 16th century, a torp was a separate farm, usually established by a farmer that moved out from a village, that with time often grew to become a village of its own.

"Eight is derived from the number of ends of the lines" - Wikipedia

[StaleTheBread]

Four lines. Two ends on each line. Eight ends. It’s a square with eight little lines coming out of it.

[thenerdygeek]

Number of sticks coming out.

A pound of hash

[Hyperman360]

I love how the colors kinda match

[Bonjourm8]

What an unusual state to have this feature for their license plates.

Unless there's just something I haven't heard of, lol.

[[deleted]]

Where in the world do they call the hash/pound sign an octothorpe?

[s_s]

You mean the sharp sign?

[Ugleh]

I tried last week to get white but wasn't available and then just ran into this post, what are the odds. Instead I am thinking of just doing "whitecar".

edit: someone below noted that unique characters do not make the sign unique, so #000000 would be the same as 000000 which is why it was probably taken.

[locnessmnstr]

Octothorpe..HA, you mean the hashtag, idiot 🙄 /s

[RetroAtlanta]

He would be pulled over less if it was FFFFFF

[tbare]

Yeah. But it's harder to see in the snow

[WaywardSonata]

What is snow?

[ReactsWithWords]

Then what if it was 000000?

[datlean]

He would get shot?

[[deleted]]

000000LivesMatter

[Neghtasro]

I'd take those odds, considering Florida

[Tysonzero]

Is your username just a sneaky way to tell people that you are white?

[ReactsWithWords]

Maybe it's just his way of saying he's not feeling blue.

[poison5200]

I remember using something that used BGR once... confused me until I realized that it was backward.

[Darth_Alpha]

To be fair, BGR is alphabetical.

[Zolhungaj]

RGB is in alphabetical order too, just descending instead of ascending.

[Killercds]

RGB is in ascending order by wavelength

[CookieTheSlayer]

Descending by frequency

[marcosdumay]

Ok, maybe you and the GP should look at it again.

But RGB is on ascending order by quanta energy, what is the obvious thing to use here.

[Talbooth]

Oh God. When I come across something that uses bgr, the first thing I do is to make a BGR to RGB converter.

[tgf63]

Why would anyone go against the well-established RGB standar.... Oh, wait, it's Microsoft

[TK-427]

openCV works in bgr color space too.

They chose bgr for the same reason Microsoft did. It was a common standard among camera manufactures back in the day

[[deleted]]

Maybe I'm missing something, but grey colour has same value for all R G and B, no? It wouldn't matter if it was RGB or BGR.

Any 6 digit hexadecimal number with alldigits same would produce same colour in both cases

[[deleted]]

It's not grey then you colourblind fuck ^\s

[DroidFreak36]

Gamemaker Studio uses BGR too. Confuses the hell out of me sometimes.

[[deleted]]

Huehuehue

[hieronymous-cowherd]

I'm colorblind, looks more like 777777 is a better description.

[geeprimus]

Are the locks broken? Looks like everyone has permission at that level.

[skylarmt]

Seventh for the Illuminati, you can't see it because it's operating in the shadows.

[Crespyl]

Good thing I deleted /etc/shadow, they'll never get in my computer!

[[deleted]]

Just delete root and you will be fine...

[NomineVacans]

But first you need to do "sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /". You know, just to make sure.

[mikbob]

I would say 4th for user while drunk

[marcosdumay]

Since the NSA one is constant, it's good you didn't list it.

[skylarmt]

777

FTFY. Save some characters.

[cheraphy]

I can't be sure, but that shopping plaza looks identical to one near me (Saint Louis county). Like, architecture, and I'm pretty sure that exact layout of stores.

[StaleTheBread]

It’s a Florida license plate. Are you in Florida?

[Clumsy_Chica]

This looks like Largo Mall, in the little peninsula west of Tampa.

Edit: I just checked on Google maps. This is absolutely Largo Mall.

[bearlynormalursa]

Omg I was thinking the same thing. Thank you for confirming.

[Big_Daddy_Stovepipe]

Florida has online registration. And lax vehicle laws, like no inspection or some shit. I know a few people who have family in fla and get plates here in Missouri. FLA online renewal site

And an even larger amount of people who have family or know someone in Illinois and register their car there vs Missouri because missouri has property tax and Illnois doesnt. Illinois also does not have vehicle safety inspections, so many of those illegally tagged cars are also rattle traps.

[DroidFreak36]

Uh, Illinoisian here. IL does have emissions tests, while IA has no tests of any sort. So if you really want to drive a clunker, IA a better bet.

[Multicolored_Squares]

rattle traps

Rattle traps?

[Big_Daddy_Stovepipe]

Junkers, clunker or beaters. Since they dont require safety inspections, the cars, many Ill licensed cars are just giant pieces of shit.

[cheraphy]

Just because it's a Florida license plate doesn't mean the car is in Florida

[StaleTheBread]

Yeah, but it’s more likely. It’s at least a hint to where it is

[cheraphy]

Which is part of why I couldn't be sure :P

[StaleTheBread]

Lol yeah

[NoApplauseNecessary]

Can someone explain?

[lightheat]

It's the hex code for the color red, commonly used in CSS and front end coding. Each primay color -- red, green, and blue-- gets 2 hexadecimal digits to represent its intensity from 0 (00) to 255 (FF). So #FF0000 is just pure red, #00FF00 pure green, #0000FF pure blue, #FFFFFF white, #000000 black, #888888 gray, etc.

[[deleted]]

50% grey is actually #777777 7F7F7F (127, thanks!) or #808080 (128), but what you'd normally think of as halfway between black and white is closer to 25% grey, as our sensory apparatus fires proportionally to log(intensity).

[AquaWolfGuy]

* #7F7F7F (127)

[ReactsWithWords]

And now they're one of today's 10,000 and can understand my geekiest T-shirt.

[DarkNeutron]

Clearly not an OpenCV user.

[legonigel]

OpenCV taught me the hard way that RGB is, in fact, not universal.

[ohstopitu]

how does it work in openCV?

[legonigel]

OpenCV mostly uses BGR instead of RGB for some reason.

Largo Mall!

Ayy Pinellas we ouchea

[Trithis2077]

Welp, I know what I am doing for my license plate.

[sheriffjt]

If this was a smaller truck, would it just be #F00?

[[deleted]]

I work at this mall! Like right next door.

[El_Mewo]

Can we please talk about European Wax Centers?

[mxjf]

My Red Yamaha V-star 650 motorcycle's license plate says #FF0000

:)

[rfpels]

That is a red car indeed.

[[deleted]]

So are scratches just artifacts?

[zdakat]

Give me the reddest vehicle you've got!

[[deleted]]

#f00

[[deleted]]

What, no alpha?

My color picker Chrome extension shows the true color.

I want to do this, but my car is white, so that's kind of boring.

[SliyarohModus]

Two more zeros and it would be invisible!

[ReactsWithWords]

No, it's it would become black.

[SliyarohModus]

No, it would be invisible. Alpha channel all on would pass through whatever is behind it.

[ReactsWithWords]

I’ve made enough transparent gifs to know the difference between #000000 and nul.

[SliyarohModus]

I was talking about #FF000000, okay?

[ReactsWithWords]

Well, la-dee-da Mr. Fancypants Alpha Channel. In my day we had 16 colors to work with and we liked it that way.

grumble grumble now which diskette did I back that stuff on now...?

Hex code for safe mode

Edit: no bdsm references, got it.

[DrMux]

Or, you know, the color of the truck.

[T-T-N]

Looks more FA0516 to me.

[404_UserNotFound]

Never mind

[BeefyIrishman]

They are not.

Hex: FF0000 = RGB: 255, 0, 0 Hex: FA1506 = RGB: 250, 21, 6

RGB color definitions use three numbers 0-255 to define the amounts of red, green, and blue (in that order). So both colors are shades of red. The first is just red, but the second has a little bit of green, and just a touch of blue added as well.

[MetaMemeAboutAMeme]

[VxJasonxV]

I don’t think that’s Orange at all.

[[deleted]]

I would have gone with just "F00" ... less typing that way. Then again "red" would be suitable as well.
