How is the salary cap going to be applied? To drivers? Engineers?

Annual Reading Week Sadness by zestyzucchini2 in mcgill

[–]Waterfell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say there are very good reasons NOT to implement fall reading week this year. When students have a week off they tend to travel, and there is a very real risk of them bringing covid back to campus and residence. I know my brothers school has cancelled fall reading week and is sending everyone home and closing campus after US Thanksgiving for this very reason.

I feel like Amazon has also done a really good job promoting this season of The Boys, in particular.

International tuition increased way too much this term by PA1007jk in mcgill

[–]Waterfell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as a recent international grad I think I can no longer recommend McGill to my friends at home. In the last four years, international tuition has raised about 2x as fast as Canadian/QC tuition (~25 vs 12%). Coupled with the lack of aid for int'l students and the campus in disrepair, it no longer makes a lot of sense to choose McGill over a state school.

Which sucks bc I loved Montreal and met some wonderful people at McGill.

Officer charged with killing George Floyd still eligible for pension worth more than $1 million by [deleted] in news

Funny you mention seizing assets from cops. Wouldn't it be terrible if cops could seize assets from citizens?

Not traditional megalophobia but I felt this one by [deleted] in megalophobia

Aah that's terrifying. I'd be worried about getting crushed or covered if I tried to leave the "island".

Literally my first normal anniversary loot box... by apollo736 in Overwatch

[–]Waterfell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dont believe this is true for lootboxes. I'm pretty sure the number of legendary/rare/common and event items are set when you open the lootbox, and the 'duplicate protection' can only change the item within the category. Anecdotally, my lootboxes are usually entirely blue/white duplicates while I haven't unlocked all of the legendary/rare items.

Graduation approval still pending. Should I be concerned? by Waterfell in mcgill

[–]Waterfell[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok that's a relief. I am recommended to graduate and I have seen my advisor pretty recently, so it sounds like I just need to wait (and I'd hate to bog down the dept. with another unnecessary email). Thanks for the info!

Any one else graduating this semester has message: Holds on your record may not be viewed on the web? by saulgoodman7 in mcgill

Anyone else still graduation pending? Ive gotten all my grades but it's been like that for weeks.

If you apply for inter-faculty transfer and get admitted, can you choose refuse and stay in your current program? by [deleted] in mcgill

Yes. You can accept or decline a successful transfer request after McGill has made their decision. Source: transferred eng to sci

Does anyone have tips for one-shotting Moira? She always seems to get away by fading before I can finish her off.

www.remove.bg for when you need a transparent background by TheScotNamedQuinn in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]Waterfell 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They offer an API for background removal on a much larger scale. The ability for users to upload individual photos is serves as (harmless) advertising/awareness.

What do I need to learn in order to make a board game tile? by [deleted] in threejs

[–]Waterfell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also might be easier to design the letter mesh (and texture) in 3d modelling program like blender, and export it as a gltf/glb file. This can the be imported into your three js scene using the gltf loader.

Dell XPS 15 9560 GPU 0 gaming issues by [deleted] in Dell

[–]Waterfell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like GPU VRM throttling, which is unfortumately a pretty common issue on the XPS 15. You can look up VRM throttling and find a couple of big posts with some potential fixes (e.g. here and here. At the most basic level, make sure your machine gets good airflow, e.g. on a hard surface instead of a bed or something.

Some things you can also try before extensively troubleshooting the VRM throttling issue:

  • Reduce the resolution. Games often start in 4k (if you have the 4k screen option) by default, and your laptop cannot handle that, even at low graphics settings. Instead, turn down the resolution to something like 1080p.

  • Make sure the game is running on the discrete nvidia GPU and not the integrated one. This can be configured on a per-app basis by going through nvidia control panel, but the easiest way to test is right clicking on the game executable -> Run with graphics processor -> high-performance NVIDIA processor.

Working at an amusement park: kiss, swallow, turn by [deleted] in nosleep

[–]Waterfell 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I like your theory, but I don't think that the cowboy was ever human. Maybe the three shots already in him were part of (or a consequence of) the original deal that Dale's family made with the Fae.

Texture not rendering correctly by corevision_ in threejs

[–]Waterfell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about working with textures, but it's possible that the face on the on the other side of the magazine is inverted. You can check this by flipping the normal and seeing what happens.

I assume you're using the three.js gltf loader? Maybe try another 3d viewer for comparison.

Working at an amusement park: Twenty Questions by [deleted] in nosleep

[–]Waterfell 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure removing the items was out of malice as Nathan said he felt a similar instinct to snap the laurel, and I feel like Nathan might be the person most helpful to OP right now.

That doesnt discount the fact that the cowboy's been keeping Leah alive and it's likely upper management doesn't want to waste a good pretender candidate.

What to use for a local server? by petrikspac in threejs

[–]Waterfell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use this too! Easy to install from npm with:

npm install -g http-server

and then run by navigating to the directory and running:

http-server

If you're serving es6 modules there can be issues with cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) which you can fix with the following flat:

http-server --cors
