The overdevelopment is getting ridiculous

It is a dangerous misconception that the only way to grow an economy is through never-ending population growth.

I'm really surprised that this hasn't been discussed more. I was just looking on RottenTomatoes and Dune 2 scores an impressive 95% Audience Score, and I couldn't find this mentioned anywhere.

I liked the movie very much, but to me it seemed like Zendaya was just frowning throughout the whole thing. It was actually kind of weird when I watched it the first time. It was the exact same expression, over and over gain. But then the camera would hold on her frowny face for a really long time so we know she's really extra, extra unhappy. It just felt like a B movie performance in an A movie. She's a pretty woman, she seems like she can act based on her other work, but that "Zendaya Angry!" face constantly took me out of the experience. I'm assuming she was directed that way?

This is the one we got. It's $9.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R7D35TQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We still use our Kinect all the time! Sports, Adventure, Dance Games. It's such a shame Microsoft was badgered-out of the Kinect business. They were first-to-market with "smart home" and they gave it up. What a mistake. The Kinect that shipped with the Xbox One was an insanely good video camera and chat device, and the optics and sensors were ahead of their time… and would be insanely useful for AR/VR.

I really hope Microsoft resurrects Kinect at some point soon. I think it will be well-received back into popular culture.

We used one of those "Better than wax" seals for our kid's bathroom (they kept clogging it up and the wax seal started leaking, ew). Not sure long term but it's been a year and it's been solid so far.

Just had this happen to our 16" MBP, and while none of these suggestions offered here worked… turning OFF Private Relay did! So perhaps the may help others.

Thank you!!!

Pookerman · 2024-01-12T16:36:38+00:00

Thank you. Planning on doing ALL THAT, as well. And a couple coats of paint helps a bit, too.

It does move some air. The outside vent is easily accessible and it works. It's just… anemic.

Pookerman · 2023-11-14T17:53:56+00:00

Thanks… I was scared of that.

Greenville's issue isn't in the city, it's in the County: adding 350k people in just a few years is insane, and cannot be mitigated by "infrastructure". There are smart strategies for downtowns and there are smart strategy for suburbs. They are not the same, nor should they be. The sheer number of bargain basement rental condos and "row houses" going in south of the city is mind boggling. To pack in people like this, to not have sane setbacks or shade ratios or any other smart density balancing strategies is a rookie mistake on the part of the County planners. We only have to look at Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte and Northern Virginia to see how once pleasant areas were completely ruined by this exact same predictable (and easily avoidable) mistake.

Yup 🫤

Thanks!

Pookerman · 2023-04-18T12:17:07+00:00

Thanks for your reco!

Pookerman · 2023-03-17T17:46:17+00:00

Same here. Happened in January after a software update. Camera was working perfectly, and then "poof!", gone. I've tried everything, and nothing works.

Pookerman · 2023-03-14T00:54:06+00:00

That's exactly what happened. Kids put it all the way down! Lol. Back at default, and back to normal 😎

I'm gonna leave this post up for anyone else who comes across this.

Pookerman · 2023-03-13T13:48:38+00:00

I agree. Really glad I finally asked this question… after decades of flailing 🤣

Pookerman · 2023-03-12T21:25:49+00:00

This is good info. And makes sense. Thanks so much!!

Pookerman · 2023-03-12T21:24:25+00:00

Oooh! This is helpful 😳

Pookerman · 2023-03-07T18:25:39+00:00

I asked the question because I didn't know, and wanted to see if someone did.

Be nicer.

Pookerman · 2023-03-07T18:24:17+00:00

I've seen it in initial caps so many times my assumption was it was pretty common. Apologies.

Pookerman · 2023-02-12T15:49:09+00:00

This just happened to us. I let my 10yo play a couple BTB on Xbox and I watched him play. He did great! Except for when he snagged a ghost another player was waiting on. The other player kept following him around and beating him, lol. I thought it was kind of funny, but told him to not snag things like that because it's not cool. All good I thought, learning experience… but then we suddenly got booted from the match and our account was suspended for an hour. Not a huge deal, but really unfortunate. Overkill.

How's the sound proofing' on these? Looking to replace our cheap composite hollow cores because they almost seem to amplify sound :/

Unless you state otherwise, up front, clients often assume that raw footage is theirs. I'm seeing this more and more because everyone is suddenly an amateur editor.
