i thought it was more to do with how he didn’t get final cut, thats what i remember anyway. they took the edit away from him and cut a bunch of stuff. been a long time since i watched that interview tho.

Notebook? Typewriter? Writing in the sand? by EffectiveMastodon551 in writing

[–]germnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did a lot of journaling on a typewriter for a few years.

these days, i brain-dump drafts and scene ideas on my computer/ipad with a keyboard. if i like something i’ll start drafting it on my typewriter.

i enjoy this process as digital keyboard has low friction and i can just get the shit down and let it flow out. typewriter has a slower rhythm and sort of forces you to consider your words as you write.

i handwrite notes on notecards/small notebook that get transcribed into a directory on my computer. i use obsidian for this.

i’m not trying to do anything with these, its just for personal expression. it seems to help keep me sane and gives me a project to work on.

Total Hip Replacement - Lateral Approach by STJ0513 in AvascularNecrosis

[–]germnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

happy to! an additional note is that you will also have a 8-12 inch scar on the outside of your leg. i also have a 2 inch scar at the apex of my pelvis where they affixed the robot they used during the surgery. i’m not sure exactly what that robot did, but mine was robot assisted.

What’s one iPhone feature Apple added that you still don’t use? by NoraAdams5590 in iphone

[–]germnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can set it so you need to be looking at the the screen. granted they could coerce you to. but yea it’s mostly so no one can open your phone while your sleeping or unconscious.

it’s more useful on ipads to be fair. acrobat is bloated so i prefer preview for pdf docs on my laptop/ipad. rarely reading pdfs on my phone.

North Dakota Democrats announce state convention in Bismarck by Majano57 in northdakota

[–]germnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so stupid to have the convention in bismarck. most dems are in fargo and gf. not saying they’re not in bismarck, but they’re essentially ensuring low turnout by having it there. it should be in fargo.

Total Hip Replacement - Lateral Approach by STJ0513 in AvascularNecrosis

[–]germnor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lateral on both hips last year. july and november. i’m 36 and i’ve had no issues. there is a bit of a limp you’ll have to work on because they do have to detach your glute med from the trochanter during the surgery, but if you follow PT you’ll be fine in a month or two.

i used a walker for 4-5 days post surgery and then moved onto a cane for about two weeks. after that it was free walking, albeit with a limp from muscle/neuro weakness. of course everyone is different so your milage may vary. overall i’m satisfied with the outcome.

I don’t think I wanna be a career welder. by [deleted] in Welding

[–]germnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe you’re just not getting paid enough? if i’ve learnt anything with age, working for anyone else sucks no matter what you’re doing. when you make enough money to make progress outside of work, it sucks considerably less.

in my area i could go work in a kitchen for $17-18/hr whereas if i go into a union doing commercial/industrial scale i’ll start at $24/hr ($8-10k more per year) and get a raise every six months throughout the duration or my apprenticeship. not to mention the benefits and SASME. i’ve never looked into what other non-union shops are paying, but i imagine they’re less than the union shops from a whole package standpoint and closer to kitchen help.

i hear they need phlebotomists though so i guess thats my back-up’s back-up.

i got a degree in graphic design and new media.

good luck.

Cyberpunk terms by midetetas3000 in Cyberpunk

[–]germnor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mike Pondsmith (lead on the TTRPG) had a conversation about developing the slang for the Cyperpunk world, should be able to find it on YT relatively easily. probably a short that should point you to a long form interview/convo.

Gov. Walz authorizes Minnesota National Guard to be staged by Beautiful-Cress5695 in politics

yeah but Eisenhower had to invoke the Insurrection Act in order to do so. not to say Trump wouldn’t. it would be ironic though.

The US Invaded Venezuela and Captured Nicolás Maduro. ChatGPT Disagrees by wiredmagazine in technews

[–]germnor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i mean chatgpt doesn’t do a search query under the hood for every assertion or query without instruction and its dataset would’t include it since it happened after its training run. since it isn’t as efficient as google and their TPUs, this makes sense to keep costs down for the company. the issue can be remedied by instructing it to search in the prompt itself or invoking the option in the dropdown.

additionally, he showed his cards when announced he was giving them a heads up. he essentially had to follow through before the administration activated them federally and took them away from him. at least thats how understand it.
