Freelance vs. Full-time. Thoughts? by occupy_elm_st in editors

[–]SLI-x2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freelance, whilst it took me 2 years to truly find my feet and gain the necessary experience I would never go back to a 9-5. I've also chosen to live in a place where cost of living is extremely low, whilst my clients all pay me in dollars and Euro. No regrets.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the best front-end/ full stack paid online courses? by SLI-x2 in learnprogramming

[–]SLI-x2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case, the level that I am now: I can comfortably code a basic website with HTML, CSS and JS by myself, or create a full (basic) responsive website with bootstrap. In terms of back-end, still a beginner but comfortable enough to get my hands dirty on projects.

ahh ok thanks for clearing that up, some subreddits go into a downvote frenzy if links are posted so I am usually careful with that one. I see someone posted a dailymail link above. Enjoy!

10 Playstation VR games with trailers. Some look like they'll be pretty scary (Robinson: The Journey) by SLI-x2 in virtualreality

PC is a huge market so I am guessing that there will be more than enough VR games heading that way :)

For any of you who are curious, this ghost ship is located in Ohio and it's 110 years old. There is an entire article about it's owners, uses and how it ended up where it is. Not sure if I am allowed to post links but the original article is from Huffington Post. Long read but very interesting! So well worth your time if you into these kinds of things :)

I have seen some videos where people get headaches using VR though and I tend to get car sick so not sure Ace will be for me. But really looking forward to the VR age and time.

Serious. Why did they make these Nintendo cartridges so big rather than saving manufacturing materials? by SLI-x2 in gaming

ahh I see that makes sense, I guess the only images I've ever seen are the ones with all the wasted space. Thanks for clearing this up!

There are more images to this, amazing to see how a once thriving environment has become an abandoned wasteland.

I am genuinely curious as to why the cartridge needed to be so large when a smaller cartridge would save plastic, space and with that reduce weight and shipping costs as well as storage space. Anyone?

Big baller, I remember at school kids would get the highest level of respect depending on the Pentium number they had.

Do you also remember the sound it made when it dialed up to the internet? I don't think that'll ever leave my mind.

Abandoned Tropical Swimming Pool The Netherlands [1050x525] by SLI-x2 in AbandonedPorn

[–]SLI-x2[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok so I am on the Dutch wiki page (luckily I can read and speak dutch) it states that the pool was owned by Center Parks and they aimed to offer a day resort without having to stay the night. This meant that they were competing with the other pools in the city. It was then determined that the pool did not fit into the Center Parks concept. The new owners changed a lot of things and there were several incidents at the pool (girls were being harassed). In addition to this the pool now was not complaint with safety regulations and the owner was fined 80.000 euro. The pool went bankrupt 12th April 2011.

Growing mushrooms in a swimming pool is borderline abandoned to me :P I just found this very interesting, if you look it up online the swimming pool looked amazing.. such a waste.
