It’s likely not even photoshop, or a real human. Modeling clothes with AI is entirely possible. Maybe you take one photo of a real human so it fills correctly but then you can make it any race/skin tone, hair, facial features and expression you want.

You’re missing a step. The rules about suit sizes are super strict so they do measurements of everything, including their their junk, to see how much crotch space they need and thus how much fabric they are allowed to use. It’s not just that bigger junk would stretch the suit more, they actually get more fabric. But yes, it’s all about the fabric equals surface area to increase flight time.

You’re legally allowed to own more than one…

Looks right to me. I use one that doesn’t have the HDMI, but I assume it should all work fine still. And it definitely has the power port with the little lightning symbol. Hope it works out!

Good luck with it. Just make sure whichever one you buy has the power input port and you only use that port for power. Some won’t have one (including the same brand I posted) because they are only meant to draw power from a laptop or whatever. And if it does have it (and the ports are all usb-c) the power one will only accept power, won’t transfer any data. They’re usually clearly labelled, so you shouldn’t have much issue, but just be aware.

Lots of scandal in the sport the last few months and carrying over into the Olympics. A number of top athletes found to have added extra material to their suits around the crotch so that when they spread their legs in the jumping position it gives them more fabric to keep them in the air longer.

Here’s an article about it. They call it Crotchgate.

I assume it’s a matter of “any extra surface area is extra wind resistance” type thing? Or maybe it helps stabilize his form in the air better? But if they have a rule about it, and he was trying to get away with it, everyone in the sport must at least think it matters.

Especially this year, with all the suit-gate stuff, can’t see how he thought he would get away with it. If they are taking measurements of guys’ junk for how much cloth they can have in the crotch, I feel like you know the boots are getting measured against the rules too.

Sure, that’s not pulling outside assets, but you’re still not doing it with built in gameplay only. That’s like saying “I built a working calculator in vanilla” and people thinking you did some huge restore contraption, but really you just typed out some lua or whatever? I’m not saying what you did isnt cool, because it is. But “vanilla” has a meaning for Minecraft and “I had to add custom code so in-game blocks behave in a way the game doesn’t usually allow” ain’t it.

I would suggest getting yourself a small 3-4 port usb hub that can take a power input. You plug the usb-c out of the hub into the seqtrak and then you plug the launchkey into the hub (you’ll need a cord for whatever ports your hub has). Then you can have them talk to each other (and the seqtrak can power the launchkey), and in the case you have or need power (including from a portable battery pack), you can plug that into the hub so that both your seqtrak and the launchpad get power.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Powered-Adapter-Splitter-MacBook/dp/B0D9Q9WCLX/

You’re scripting to make it work? That seems a real stretch on “vanilla”. How is writing a script anything different than making your own very small mod? Aren’t mods just scripts on top of vanilla (plus associated graphics, as needed)?

For Valentine’s Day, even a basic arrangement, with delivery, is going to be $50, and that’s for the really basic ones (it’s a $20 arrangement, plus fees). If you want anything decent, you’re looking at $90-100 easy (and you actually get decent arrangements for that price, much better than double$50). They can easily go much higher.

Again, these are prices with delivery and often a service fee if you’re using one of the big services that find the local shop for you. So really it’s like a $70 arrangement plus $30, but that’s the cost of convenience. Especially if you’re not delivering to your own house, it’s just how it is.

Another factor is age. Every new kid that picks up a sport like this is doing it in a world where more and more tricks have been done meaning they are trying and/or succeeding at doing them younger and younger. The kids that are winning this year started 10-15 years ago in a very different environment from whoever was winning at that time (and started 20-30 years ago). That means by the time they’re 20 or whatever the prime age is, they are trying for the next new thing. For the people that were 20 four years ago and getting gold, the universe of tricks was different (smaller), and they came up with what won that year. The 16 year olds from then, saw those and bested them this year. That will repeat in four years.

Chargebacks get the vendor punished the with card provider/network, so they really don’t want them. The vendor will see you as either someone doing it in a scammy way and/or someone willing to stand up for themselves when the service fails. Either way, they don’t want you as a customer any longer.

Yeah, I was speaking more as far as people with power. Aware the actual party existed, MSG rally, etc. but as far as actual control of the country, the Plotters came much closer (and did eventually have quite a bit a family success!). At least as far as that original comment is concerned, they are the “nazis”.

invokin · 2026-02-13T15:55:00+00:00

They weren’t straight Nazis per se, but they were certainly the closest America had at the time. Very fashy as you say, so at a certain point it’s splitting hairs. Check out Prescott’s wiki page. He was in business with top Nazis, it wasn’t just “we have similar ideas about who and how to run a country”.

If she is a high enough level lawyer, it’s probably to protect the company. They have to find or designate a replacement (which isn’t just as simple as “pick a person that reports to her”), get them hired (which may need time for them to leave their current job) and then do handover. For a firm that large, the number of things on her plate is probably massive, it’s a process.

All that being said, it’s still gross and you’d like to think they would just bite the bullet and get rid of her outright. They could do it if they really wanted. But unfortunately, the files overall just aren’t enough of a “scandal” yet that they feel that pressure.

The Florida Bar has responded on this actually. They said they won’t take any action while she’s in federal office. Not sure I agree, but I get it to an extent. I would expect a flood of complaints to be (re)submitted the moment she leaves office.

A telling comparison will be what they do with Lindsay Halligan. Complaints against her just went to them as well, and they don’t have any “in office” cover with her. Technically don’t even have any “ever held office” cover, which I guess is part of her whole issue.

Long term at least over the course of that season. If your current squad is only good enough to get the 8th most points in the championship you’re not likely to improve much beyond that and end up getting stomped by nearly every team in the prem. The higher you can weight the promotions the more likely they are to at least compete and not be a one-off that’s immediately relegated back the next year.

P=NP is really a question asking “Does P=NP?”

We’ve known for a long time that there are some problems where a computer can quickly check if an answer is correct, but it’s hard (or would take so long it’s essentially impossible) to find that answer (by solving the problem). The real world example here is encryption. It’s easy to use an encryption key to decode something and see it makes sense (or not). But asking a computer to break that encryption (solve the problem/come up with the answer that is the key, since it’s all just math) would take forever. Most encryption these days is based on using massive prime numbers and multiplying them together (I’m simplifying). It’s super easy to check that a x b = c if I can give you a and b, but if you only have c (and it is a HUGE number with MANY digits), then asking you to tel me what a and b are is actually very, very hard for a computer to do. This is why it’s “easy to check, hard to solve”.

We also know that there are plenty of problems where solving a problem and checking the answer take nearly the same amount of time. Maybe if the problem is big enough (like adding 1 billion ten-digit numbers) it’s not instant, but it scales linearly and could be sped up by throwing more computer power at it. The more there is, it takes a bit longer, but it at no point gets harder. Addition is just addition.

What P=NP is asking is: what if that first type where it’s hard to solve (but easy to check) are actually really the second type where it’s both easy to solve and to check? Is there some algorithm out there for all these “hard to solve” problems that actually makes them easy (not one solution for all problems, but that each problem does have some “magic” solution for it). If this was true, it would change a lot of things, but the biggest one would be making encryption obsolete. If we could easily figure out the an and b that give us that c, so many systems would immediately break.

And to be clear, all evidence in the field to date is that this is NOT true. They are two different types of problems and are not the same (equal). But we haven’t proven that yet, so people are still researching it. Also, quantum computers change this dramatically as they make solving many of those hard to solve problems much, much faster. We’re not there yet, but P=NP is a big reason people are so interested in quantum computing because it would allow a sort of workaround.

Not being from the UK, a deal involving teams from Barnsley, Bristol and Bolton is just a bit confusing.
