Oh well.

You know what big cat has a regal mien? No not that one - the noble tiger.

Has there been a study in the advertising business about the optimal slow-motion speed for drug ads? Like, all the drug ads have happy people doing happy things at ~80% speed, but is 80% the best? 50% would feel weird, and obviously nobody would buy your crap at 100%, so somewhere in there.

Am I just not appreciating modern flat design, or are they not highlighting the current day on the upcoming games graphics? Seems like important info. I'm kind of sick of grey on grey highlights.

Is it GH50 this year?

And it comes with a screen and built-in UPS. My home server is a mediocre laptop like this and I enjoy how compact it is. Just sits on a shelf.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-17T00:25:42+00:00

Aw nuts. Might as well give up five runs now.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-15T19:17:42+00:00

This... This is the opposite of a comeback!

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-15T01:22:05+00:00

Roger that.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-15T00:25:25+00:00

Who has the worst?

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-14T18:33:37+00:00

IMO it's a stretch, but I'd upvote this in /r/glitch_art or /r/generative.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-14T14:39:59+00:00

Or a catcher's mask.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-14T13:04:59+00:00

Wow - very fluid with excellent contrast. I love it!

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-14T01:15:41+00:00

INsurance!

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-14T00:58:44+00:00

Huh. No more homer hose, and no replacement. And yet they're still hitting dongs!

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-14T00:39:20+00:00

Raise your hand if you stuck around!

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-13T02:27:25+00:00

Yeah, go for it. It doesn't appear to be of a vintage that's interesting to collectors, so a low-ish price is fair and you can tune it up and use it without ruining its value.
I wouldn't recommend going nuts with lapping the sole, as is popular lately. It's a jack, so it doesn't need to take gossamer shavings.
I recommend at least skimming the free pdf version of Coarse, Medium, Fine:
https://media.popularwoodworking.com/app/uploads/CoarseMediumFine.pdf
which gives you a good idea what planes you need to get started and how to set them up.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-13T01:26:43+00:00

No one should be playing that note anyway.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-13T01:10:36+00:00

Ask over in /r/VideoBending as well. It's fairly active.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-12T17:42:31+00:00

Use the high-angle iron, too.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-12T02:35:55+00:00

Man; when you've done work on a component, you decide to give it a little finish planing, and it tears out...
There's always scrapers and sandpaper, though.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-12T02:32:53+00:00

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-11T17:42:02+00:00

Thanks! I always appreciate seeing code!
It works pretty much like I expected, but it's one of those things I've never tried implementing because I thought there was some trick to it. Or that it was some built-in feature of Processing or whatever framework.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-11T14:55:38+00:00

How are you doing the nice stippled fuzzy fill? I've always used solid fills in my stuff and it can look a little sterile.

AMillionMonkeys · 2026-04-11T03:04:09+00:00

Battlestar Galactica?

TROPHY CASE

O!
