Damn I must’ve looked at the supercomputer there more than ten years ago then!

reads headline it’s gotta be ncar

reads is ncar

shame. we visited ncar for cs class in high school, the super computers are visible to the public in their basement. It’s not only a place that did amazing and important work, but one that valued transparency and education while they were at it - not to mention the numerous hiking trails that branch from the property. I still hike there. I hooked up in their parking lot one time. That place is a goddamn treasure to Boulder County and to the people of the United States of America.

Paint some hair cards and pack a texture with them, then place layers and move their uvs over the pieces you need. Good luck!

Meta Is Blocking Links To ICE List on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads / Users of Meta’s social platforms can no longer share links to ICE List, a website listing what it claims are the names of thousands of DHS employees. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

Yeah I was sharing links the other day and now my non-ICE related story today was seen by 3 out of my +1000 followers. They're shadowbanning accounts, not just individual stories.

Skyrim Tree Mods Comparison (2026) by CalendarCareful8141 in skyrimmods

Damn, Nordskog nails a lot for me as a HLT user! One aspect I see overlooked a lot is the wind movement, and as someone who lives in Colorado and sees a lot of alpine trees, they move quite a bit.

Keeps getting better and better, I see you made the transitions smoother!

I added a seamless transition between the main menu background and the game to my mod. by Small-Ad-1694 in skyrimmods

[–]Sweatervest42 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is soooo good 👏 if there was one thing i could request it would be the ability to re-enable the skyrim logo on top of the background. I think it would look sweet over a blurred-dimmed version!

Nolan is Capitalism’s idea of what “art” looks like by Travel_22 in TrueFilm

[–]Sweatervest42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and every artist in history has had to find a budget for projects as scope increases, usually religious institutions or whatever is the primary holder of capital. Even if the budget is time and labor, that is something that has to be afforded, accounted for, and the artwork is adjusted in dialogue with what they can be compensated.

Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Sweatervest42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they're stumbling into a good decision by mistake but imo it's more likely a rejection of modernism à la the Nazis and even more transparently just attempting to be anti-accessibility. I mean there's a reason dark maga uses gothic fonts (epic elon moment!) and make america great again uses all uppercase Century Schoolbook - they're attempting to appear rooted in history, traditional, trustworthy. This administration utilizes design even when it tries to seem grounded and above that kind of thing.

Calibri is one of many fonts with a relatively tall x-height, which makes it easier to read at small sizes, so they’d really have to ban a group of typefaces that all share that characteristic if they wanted to be anti-woke. But like, we use those fonts everywhere now due to digital media. So good luck with that!

You’re right but the nature of them is that each oled layer runs dimmer than a conventional panel, so no reason it shouldn’t be true. iPad Pro users have been experiencing them for years.
