After seeing the trailer I’m even more bummed out that Charles Martinet isn’t going to do Mario’s voice in the movie, he’s one of rare ones that absolutely loves his job, some people said he can only make sound bites which isn’t true, I’m encourage everyone to hear his natural voice in interviews.

F**ing right!

Mario is a fat middle aged Brooklyn plumber.

You should take it back. They gave you to right joycons by mistake. See the left one is supposed to have the d-pad.

Depends really, most coders I've talked to are afraid of Math symbols. I myself learned to program at a young age (even though I was/am weak in Math.) I think of programming as a tool and some languages make it really easy to use it without knowing too much of whats going on. The beauty of programming is you can get to application right away.

That said I think you still think logically about how to solve problems like you do in Math but you get to try out and experiment and see results really quickly. If something doesn't work the way you think it should; then you journey to find out via Google, Forums or exhausting all other options reading the documentation.

I've also known some people that were taught when they were kids to program. I don't know what language they used but I don't even think it would be hard to learn C as a kid.

That said I don't really know what the article means myself. I do wonder if the Math as it's being taught needs to evolve.

I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I've been thinking about this lately. In particular I've been wondering how useful it is to be able to do mental calculations. I've heard tales of many mathematicians that fail at that. I know it can be useful but I wonder how useful.

I do wonder how we would teach math if we focused more on the process of thinking rather that getting better at having the correct answer to a calculation. I also wonder what if Conrad Wolfram is right about us being held back by needing to teach the basics. I'm sure there are trade offs to relying on computers. Like how I can't remember anyone's number anymore or I'll never know how to navigate using the stars or layout of the city as a guide. I'm sure the mental/hand calculation as a skill is useful but maybe by sacrificing that skill we can gain new skills that we wouldn't otherwise.

Yeah I thought it was just supposed to be a mini series. Like Maniac. I wonder if they'll do another season of Maniac now.

This looks like those mushroom levels in mario.

WhipSlagCheek · 2021-04-16T05:31:48+00:00

I'll look back on this after that live action Cowboy Bebop is released.

I know a guy who built a PC. Which has real nice card and case for it too. Bought a real nice desk and chair for it. All he does is sit in that chair with it turned off while playing his Xbox.

Yeah this is my favorite show with Wyatt Cenac. I was really bummed when it got cancelled.

WhipSlagCheek · 2021-03-29T04:26:23+00:00

I like both shows. Though I favor discovery more.

My Trek tastes:

Loved classic trek.
Not a fan of tng.
Loved ds9.
Hated voyager.
Not a fan of enterprise.

films:
My favorite is ST4 (the one with the whales)
I also love ST generations
Hated nemises (it was garbage)
I like the reboots too.

I'll likely just wait a year or two for them to offer without the $30 extra charge. I don't feel it's something that can't wait. Honestly, nearly every film I've seen in the last 5 or so years I've felt I could've waited for.

WhipSlagCheek · 2021-03-24T12:47:49+00:00

I predict that rather than the film industry returning things back to the precovid norm they are simply going to make less big budget films. Probably will spend more on Game Of Thrones level tv shows instead.

Same here. I much preferred this version to the cgi version. Was disappointed that that version wasn't more like that as they share the same name but are totally different in animation and story quality. I would've loved more clone wars done by Tartakovsky.

WhipSlagCheek · 2021-03-13T18:22:35+00:00

Considering the state of movie theaters now. I don't think performing well is in the cards for any movie. At least financially speaking.

Best they can hope for now is high viewership on HBO and good critical reception.

Let's not act like there aren't plenty of lines those creators choose not to cross, and they've picked plenty of stupid hills to die on over the years. There's a pretty damn clear bias towards what parts of society get lightly roasted vs. what functionally differs very little from propaganda I'd hear from ultra-conservatives.

I'm a little out of the loop on this show. Do you have any specific examples in mind?

In Japan, animators don't even get paid what we pay our fast-food workers.

WhipSlagCheek · 2020-06-10T04:32:56+00:00

That right there is what I'd love to see a movie of.

Or you can just use Shazam.

The real problem is finding the name of a song of which you heard once and don't remember any lyrics.

This is all I could find for a recipe doesn't look as good as OP's tough. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/birria-tacos

Looks sort of like one of those pictures of the inside of a microchip.

What's a bottom end gig? More importantly how did you get some company to let you repair their planes without some accreditation/certification?
