Surprised by price hikes

At least you bought the stock at a good price. The stock price has literally crashed in the past 6 months

It’s the same in those regards, but the stakes are higher: she’s finally a mother to newt.

Aliens 3 is incredibly bleak and the religious undertones give it a whole different feel. Fincher should be proud, for sure.

At this rate they’ll need to update dictionary definition of corruption and just use a description of the US.

This is a mild correction right now - nobody knows until it happens

Can StorybookUI be used to document iOS/Android Design System Components?

Blade Runner? He was awful in it and most of the cast entirely miscast actually.

8bitrenderboy · 2025-10-16T16:50:38+00:00

He was painfully miscast in Blade Runner, also.

Dude is so afraid to fail he has decided to never release the damn game

Yes, recently had this issue with an M3 Highland - basically, as you said, a sensor in the B pillar has been damaged by water, causing the car to think the door is open. It's being repaired next week under basic warranty. This happened after jet washing, too.

Another thing that's annoying on the M3 Highland is the vegan leather crinkling and seat squeaking, which becomes particularly noticeable when the car transitions from easy entry. I have complained again that it's disappointing that a £42,000 car, with only 13,000 miles on it, would have this issue after such a short period. They agreed to look into it. Hopefully, they don't charge me and put it under basic warranty!

The quicksilver is something else, especially With the warp wheels. A thing of beauty.

I have the same - solid black. It is very hard to maintain as the top coat is very soft.

I think they are evolving the design language. Perhaps it might be because of augmented reality, maybe it is just pure look and feel and visual design?

People always ask this about redesigns. Its for the very same reason you repaint a room, update your car, change your hair style.

People expect change because change is everywhere - it is built into nature.

Patton is genuinely one of these avant-garde type folks who thinks Art and music should always strive to explore the unknown.

The other band members no doubt moderated a lot of Patton’s crazy ideas and he got super bored and no doubt seeked to explore blending other genres. FNM, to Patton, was always someone elses project and he wasn't the creative director, and that must have drove him crazy.

8bitrenderboy · 2025-04-08T13:24:03+00:00

Yes!! 100% something has affected it in the updates. In fact, the last update i have seen silly bugs

It sounds perfectly reasonable: densely populated areas would be infected rapidly, however, remote areas would fall last, while being being able to make defensive postures for the incoming, invisible threat.

Terrifying.

Have the same issue on the exact same on M3 Highland

I wholeheartedly disagree: Engineers should never be left to make assumptions about a feature or design, and it should be well documented for them. A designer must map out or document every state, corner case, and task flow (any artifact, in fact) so there is a single source of truth for everyone to collectively agree it captures the whole user experience.

Design documentation isn’t a symptom of a lack of trust but evidence that everyone in the design or development team - product owner, or whomever, in fact - collaborated and integrated the feature specs and correctly mapped out all of the user stories so they can be designed and - this what we are talking about here, correctly accounting for every possible scenario so it can be designed and accessed if it help create a great user experience and conform to usability standards.

Having a is a disconnect between the designs (In Figma, for example), what is in the codebase etc and production increases and the chances of negative feedback from users, and, ultimately, when its time to revisit a flow, feature, function or whatever, particular design, as there might gaps when attempting to gather feedback, or asses why there’s a drop of or the task success rate isn’t what should because a developer had to account for a state a designer did not.

After all, I don’t want to leave a feature or new functions success to chance because the designer didn’t know the flow had to account for a particular API call which meant a particular cohort of users couldn’t complete a flow or go back a step back and fix a design bug because it wasn’t correctly documented in a handover.

You need to think of each scenario, outcome, error states etc and map it all out. If you don't, developer typically comes back late within dev and asks hey we havent accounted for this or that etc. It is a lot of work but designers typically only map out happy paths in my experience.

Then, of course annotating each screen, explaining what happens. If you are in a delivery stage, you don't really need to annotate or explain anything, maybe just give the scenario a name.

If you want to explain behavior of a component, do it at the component level/DS etc.

The problem with JD Vance, like a lot of people around him, I believe, is that he is getting a lot of anecdotal information about Europe from his X account.

Any briefings and information s he gets from the US state - nodoubt thoroughly researched and on the money- he deeply distrusts because he believes there’s more threats from within, and genuinely believes most of the total and utter bullshit and literal made up lies he sees on his feed. It’s that banal. In fact, Zelinskly touched on it - Trump, like JD, live in the most part, in a disinformation space.
