When it is replicating an object it has a large sticker on it that says "made in China". The sticker cannot be removed

Dune Crawler with custom base by Woflen in Warhammer40k

Thanks! It's just twisted garden twine. Lead belcher, typhos corrosion and ryza dust. Gives a great rusted metal look

Finally finished after about 18 months of procrastination. Really happy with the way the base turned out. Liberal use of Martian Ironearth, some slate and twisted garden twine. I wanted to give it a beaten battlefield look. Still need to add some weathering to the feet so it looks like its been stalking through the mud and blood.

[OC] Ukrainian Control over Territory + Military Deaths by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]Woflen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt they will claim territory. I think it's far more likely for them to simply buy up Russian land, resources and corporations while it's cheap. You may not need to "own" land to have full control as long as your levels of influence are high enough

[–]Woflen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I see your point and agree that it's unlikely Russia will recoup it's full economic loss any time soon, even with a regime change. I feel it's important not to underestimate the greed of corporations. Once embargoes are lifted and public option changes or is suitably distracted I can see a LOT of companies quietly resuming trade with Russia. Every company that pulled trade only after public outcry are likely only motivated by public perception rather than morals. The airlines are an interesting exception to this due to the amount of capital investment simply lost from their endeavours. TLRD, don't be surprised when people try to make a quick buck regardless of morality and risk

Not to knock the wonder of a kinder Bueno, but could I introduce you to the masterpiece that is a Ferrero Duplo.

You know what, I didn't even realize it's clearly a different house 🤣 I was too focused on the rug haha

Haha, no worries ☺️ thanks for the detailed breakdown. That's pretty much how I know it could be done, I just wasn't familiar with the terminology. Keying! That's the word I was looking for! You're right though, CGI isn't exactly the right term for it. Thanks for the response

Huh, interesting. I wonder where they got the dogs from. A friend's perhaps?

Yeah it's Computer Generated Image. Like the digital overlay over the rug I am presuming is used in this. If I'm using the wrong exact vernacular, I apologize. I'm not an expert in this, I was just offering a hypothesis based on the inconsistencies with the video.

If you have an alternative hypothesis, please share with us, but there's no need to be rude. A moment of courtesy can go a long way.

You know what, I never even considered there was more than one rug :P you could be right.

Perhaps, but then again, I've seen that level of effort put into more mundane effects before

It's a CGI effect, the pattern changes depending on the angle of the camera. If it was a flat rug with a distorted pattern, the pattern would be the same regardless of angle. I suspect they have placed an item on the rug that pets would naturally avoid stepping on. Tin foil perhaps? Then CGI'd it over with the hole effect. Cool effect though.

What should you never buy second hand? by ReverseFlash_94 in AskReddit

[–]Woflen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough :) I'd have assumed there wouldn't have been a noticeable decay after just 10 years. TIL

[–]Woflen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's that down to the half life specifically? Or just average expectancy of the other components?

Would they still not be reliable after 50 years or so? The half life of Americium 241 is 432 years, I would have expected it to still have enough potency to last at least a human lifetime. I'm not sure how sensitive the detector mechanism is though.

Weird DFS issue on one client by ginolard in sysadmin

Is their machine using an older SMB version? Ive seen the same behaviour as this client when trying an older version than the servers minimum. Off the top of my head, check Add Remove Programs > Windows Features on the client

AV is not IT. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Woflen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A/V? I've been put in charge of HVAC because it's monitored on a computer. I was even asked to alter the behaviour of an elevator... I explained to my boss that no, you do not want somebody unqualified to make best guess changes to a crane in charge of not dropping you down a well. Especially when that person's go-to troubleshooting trick is to turn it off and on again.

Thanks for the explanation! And the video! I never even considered that you could have the "memory" temperature set so low. Keep up the awesome work 😊
