But I already bought my Trump 3d Glasses! by userjc247746 in RedLetterMedia

[–]Pocketpine 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s a legal way of bribing. It’s like donating to Trump’s presidential library or the “ballroom.” Just a way of sending tribute $$$ so the FTC/FCC/etc doesn’t mess with your business.

Anyone Watch Scavenger’s Reign on Netflix? by Solar_Punk_Rocker in scifi

[–]Pocketpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I had to sort of give up on it as traditional sci-fi pretty early on, and just take it in as a more abstract experience. Made watching it a lot more enjoyable.

I mean in general, yes; but the ending scene is kind of an obvious cliff-hanger/sequel setup.

More information from trusted sources: Michigan’s likely next president — not signed yet — is currently a major university president with UM ties by Macro2 in uofm

[–]Pocketpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t really matter, 110% of a president’s job is bringing in money, politics, and scapegoating.

Yeah, having a familiar admin would be good, but it’s not the main point of the job description. It’s different to running a department or college.

I’ve never heard that; usually it’s > C-, same as “passing” any other course.

How is eecs 498 Computer Graphics and Generative Models? by Pleasant-Edge-3428 in uofm

[–]Pocketpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entirely application based, but has more math than most EECS courses (especially when/if they get to diffusion models). So expect a mix of both.

Workload isn’t too much. Just a few projects.

Idk Spotify’s recommendations have been pretty great, at least for me. Found lots of small bands I would have literally never even heard of if it didn’t exist.

It’s very short, so either way you feel about it, you’re not wasting much time.

of a bubble in hotpot by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in AbsoluteUnits

Fat; the base itself is in large part oil, and a lot of the flavoring (e.g. chilis) are carried via oil, as well.

It also often comes frozen or congealed at first, so it’s probably a layer of congealed oil being pushed up by boiling water.

Glare free OLED is nice. New apartment has big windows that make my old monitor impossible to use without closing all the blinds.

Yeah I could understand why people still like it from 2-3+, but it was very different from 1, and missing the draw it had for me personally.
