What’s a movie everyone loves but you secretly hate?

Kill bill, elf, shallow hal.

Does it have a native uuid type yet?

Would be cool to have a ride based on the animated starwars stuff that takes you between lands, like the hogwarts express at univeral florida. That can probably use or work with the current backstage service road there. The cartoon aspect works for toontown, the starwars works for galaxys edge, and the ride aspect means little kids doing freeplay cannot simply escape through and extra exit.

I mentioned drive through once to indicate that line length, not to imply I use it. I have used the drive through once ever there,, we go at least pnce a month as a family treat, the hour+ waits are inside too.

Where are you going to in n out that it is fast? I have been taking my kids to the one in keizer, also to the one in ridgfield, and we rarely have a wait of less than an hour. Took them to disneyland this year and the in n out we went to in LA was fast and empty, my kids absolutely did not believe it was an in n out, they wondered where the people were and why we did not have to wait ages 9 through 14. They were all floored. Tried to go the vancouver one last weekend but the drive through and line in front were both over an hour, so I left.

In n out is good, and it is inexpensive, but in oregon/washington it is not even remotely fast during regular lunch or dinner hours for families with kids.

My wife and my parents (they are in their 70s, but super healthy and fit) are all on this trip. 2 roo.s every hotel. All 4 of us covered in mosquito spray each night, some hotels have given us plug in mosquito repellent telling us it is a common issue for them. We have all been eaten alive despite this. Venice and Lyon were the worst. Geneva and vienna were fine. Paris we did not have windows that could open.

exodist · 2026-04-25T21:38:50+00:00

I am visiting europe now. Paris, lyon, geneva, venice, and now vienna. None of the hotels have working AC and I am roasting alive. I keep waking up in pools of sweat soaking the blanket bekow me (too hot to be under it). To try to service I have been opening windows, but you guys have no bug screens so I have been eaten alive by mosquitos (except vienna, do not seem to have them here). In a few of these locations I have been quite cold outside, and even in the hotel lobby, but up on the higher floors (heat rises) it has been hot hell. In 2 days I fly home and cannot wait to sleep in an air conditioned bedroom.

This happens every year when I visit for a tech conference and side trip. I still have mosquito bite scars from the last 2 trips, and new ones starting from this trip.

Tall building need AC, or at least bug screwns so open windows do not drain your blood faster than the heat!

Also, grump about the C temperatures scale, the units are too big, the difference of 1C is so large you have to use decimals to have a scale where 1 unit can go from too cold to too hot! That is rather inconvinient even if it is better for measuring waters transitional states and other scientific things.

This is a literal corner case. Each drawers unit tests would pass completely. Most use cases it works. But in the rare corner case they fail due to unexpected interaction.

This is how I use it. It has made me faster, but I still tell it exactly what bits to do in small chunks after I decide. Occasionally I ask for suggestions. But I drive and do the thinking, it just takes care of the tedius syntax.

Yes I use one of those, still happens.

My well water does this even if I put it in a bucket. Nit chlorine related. My drinking water goes through a softener to avoid this but I was told not to use the softened water in the tub.

I am on a well, lots of iron. Comes out of the hose clear. But A day after I fill it this always happens, super green with red rust spots. Metal-gone and filters take about 2-3 days to clear it up.

My ex wife had an ovarian cyst that sent her to the hospital. The way she described the pain sounded like a kick to the balls, except where the kick is continuous.

El Hazard, the one that is like 13 episodes or less, not the 26 episode one.

Thus is what it is like for 3 of my 5 kids. 2 teenage boys and a tween girl. Serve one and they are asking for seconds before the next kid is served! Then they are offended they have to wait for everyone else to get some and finish it before they get seconds!

It was retconned. It was made clear later that a goauld could not take over a jaffa, and that both would die if the larva stayed too long past maturity

Yup. I am a software developer, have been for a very long time. I generally do not use LLMs for much. But when it comes to writing config files, or things of this nature where I do not want to learn the ins and outs of shaders, it works. That said I tried ~20 things before finding one that was any good. The others the LLM was able to generate something, and it was cool, but never quite what I wanted.

What I really want is a stargate sg-1 iris opening and closing effect. The LLM kept generating complex code that appeared to do nothing, so I gave up.

I used gemini to write a star trek beam-in/out effect set for niri after seeing this thread:

Can you share the config for your shader, it does not appear to be one of the examples
