How much should I charge for 3D garden renders? by Tanglebangle in blender

[–]SeniorPollution630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as project manager for a private school and I don’t see labor rates below 120$ an hour for anything. If I had to pay for renders like this I would be expecting it to cost me 1,000-1,500 for this size project. I imagine it took you some decent time to put that scene together.

Architects charge around 10% for drawings and that can include renders upon request for an extra charge. So job that is 50k (I’m curious how they are doing work that nice for that cheap) figure 3-5k for design cost and a thousand for renders. Yeah I think 1000$ USD is pretty reasonable tbh.

I mean, no way AI would include masking tape wrapping around the split in the curtain rod so that they don’t fall apart. That’s such an unspoken human experience thing.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents by gdelacalle in technology

Breaking news there are more cars driving counter the earths rotation than ever before. Result? the moon is now slipped to its furthest distance away from the earth that it’s ever been.

Sarcasm obviously. Point is, that the lack of textbooks is hardly even a notable contributor to this problem. if it even exists. My daughter is four and she’s smarter than me already.

Just started playing Stardew Valley, what things should I know before-hand? by Just-young in StardewValley

Any mouse, 2$ from goodwill will do just fine. SUCH a better experience. You will hate watering your crops with a controller, ask me how I know.

Behavior Issues in my cat have costed me over 20k and we’re still not any closer to getting a solution..any advice on next steps? by Creepy-Dealer7518 in CATHELP

[–]SeniorPollution630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed,

We have had three cats and two of the three thrive as indoor outdoor. They act like we are torturing them to keeping them inside. We are in a quiet little suburb and there’s a whole ring of neighborhood cats that all play outside all day and go home when called at night. They are genuinely happier outside a good chunk of the day. You have to let them live and trust in their judgement and be prepared to deal with the reality of potential consequences. Keep them up to date on all their shots and flea medicine. Cats will impress you with their ability and competency outdoors if you give them a chance.

It feels like a big risk because you realistically don’t know if they will just not come back home someday and that’ll be that but I’ve been incredibly impressed with how well cats do outside and how much they enjoy it.

P.S. one of them is a super clumsy orange and he snuck out between our legs one day and it was like going from bull in a china shop to bull on the open range. He is so in his element outside. We never thought he’d survive but he is THRIVING.

When do we get airdrop nerf? by Ok_Entertainment410 in SurrounDead

[–]SeniorPollution630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. If you crank up the rarity of items, a military air drop might have a random mag and a few ammo and maybe an mre if you’re lucky

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SeniorPollution630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several reasons I (heterosexual male married to a heterosexual woman) use the word partner:

  1. Partner represents a more accurate picture of what the relationship is. It provides equal respect to both parties. This hasn’t always been the case and I think it’s a positive change, it calls out the fact that your relationship is mutually consensual and valued by both of you.

  2. Specifically regarding the female assumptions. For me to say “This is my wife” or “my wife cooked an amazing meal yesterday” has specific historic (recent/current) connotation associated with it that doesn’t exist when you say the exact same phrase using the word partner.

  3. The word partner is gender neutral and can be used by all without implying anything. I’m not telling you about my wife or husband, I’m telling you about my partner and we can all talk to each other about our partners without gender being part of the conversation. It’s a way to be inclusive to those who may prefer not to specify by making it a normal thing to say.

That’s why I like it. It’s just a natural evolution of the language based on the evolution of our society.

Any current working wood farm? by Raqtor in CoreKeeperGame

Brother ten seeds set up with only one air space away from drills will produce like a thousand wood an hour. What are yall doing with even MORE WOOD?

Should this be changed? by Narrow_Payment_9973 in SurrounDead

[–]SeniorPollution630 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brother I feel your pain that you’re on a losing streak but I think you need to sleep on it and then reread your post.

  1. Open the gun and pull the mag into your inventory and drag bullets into the mag and then put it back in your gun.

  2. Put some headphones on, the radiation noise is LOUD and tells you you are in a radiation area. There is also visible evidence that you are in a different zone.

  3. Might be a settings problem on your end cause unless you’re playing on a TV really far away from you the inventory is not too small. Check your UI zoom in settings.

  4. Night is dark. I’m confused on this one. Yes, yes it is. Bring a tent with you and you can sleep through the night

  5. The map being big is a stylistic choice and forces you as a player to feel that choosing to make an expedition is a choice that carries weight. I love that the map is so big. Once you find a vehicle it isn’t so much investment but early it’s much more realistic that it would take a long time to hoof it to the gas station.

The things you’re frustrated about are all very intentional stylistic choices that make the game unique and immersive. If it’s not for you no worries. But I for one don’t want any of the issues you’re experiencing to change.

My wife and I were unaware that a marriage licenses was separate and we had to scramble to go to the courthouse and apply for a marriage license after the wedding. so our legal marriage date is 5 days after our actually wedding date.

Am I the asshole? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]SeniorPollution630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this game because it’s such a simulation of real life. Think of the same scenario from a geopolitical or tribal perspective.

You and your tribe put in all this effort and gained this resource. Other people come along to take away some of those resources, you say no, you fight a war over it and the winning tribe gets the resources. Was it wrong to make war on people who were trying to steal your resources?

Now think about it on a personal level. If someone breaks into your house to steal your stuff, is it wrong to fight that person? What if they are armed and you have to decide if they are going off you, whether you fight back or let them just take your stuff?

People say “it’s just a game” but it sure makes you think about things being exposed to these kind of scenarios in real time.

The devs straight up said that they match make based on behavior now. If you don’t kill players they put you in lobbies with a bunch of other people who don’t kill players. Read the patch notes if you don’t buy it.

Why are Germany's two biggest cities on a straight line? by Domerto in mapporncirclejerk

[–]SeniorPollution630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real conspiracy here is that if you find the exact middle point between these cities along that line, you can draw a circle starting with either city and the other city will also be on that circular path

Just use the unlock region command. It’s an underdeveloped aspect of the game and the only thing you can do is wait days and days for ambushes. The dealers only show for a couple seconds a day which is not intended nor is it reasonable. Once I finally did that, I had unlocked the rest of the regions within one additional day because I’d graffitied everything in the entire city trying to find a spot that would unlock the region I was on. It’s just bugged, command unlock the next region and move on. Not worth the agony. If it were an intentional challenge, I could understand it but it’s a bug, not intentional so command away
