A puckering of assholes.

Multiclass warrior bard. Hmm. 🤔

I've been looking for an excuse to try this tool. https://github.com/ToumaKamijou/Yugens-Terrain-Authoring-Toolkit It's FOSS and looks really usable. It has the paint requirements you mentioned but I'm not sure about exporting splatmaps.

It's even shit by U.S. chocolate standards, just to give you a sense of how bad it is.

Really loving the drawable texture objects. Such a nice, simple, wonderful idea.

The part that really depresses me is that folks will point at this and say, "See!? Renewable energy isn't economic!" Completely ignoring that it's cash flow positive and has only failed because they cancelled projects before they could make their money back. If a solar farm costs $100 to build but makes $1/day and your cancel it on day 50, of course it's going to lose money.

Can confirm. I think I've had to go there once in the last twelve months.

For the folks who are trying, even small steps help to push back against Bezos. Cancel Prime. Try to cut back to a single order per month, then every six months, etc. And importantly, good is good enough. If you discover something you need and can't get it elsewhere, don't kick yourself for needing a one-off purchase. Just keep trying to do a little better.

I bought a tool on eBay and it arrived at my doorstep... fulfilled by Amazon. I was so pissed I wrote to them. They replied saying Amazon did all of their fulfillment.

The real kicker is it was and is used in productive and constructive ways. It was just invisible until very recently. The ability to search for other photos of your pets in your photos app, the spam filters that keep your email (relatively) usable, the special effects tools that let artists paint out wires were all possible because of machine learning (used to refer to the subgroup of AI) and were made better by transformers.

If this same tech were released in a post-Capitalist society there would be no need for every single company to ham fistedly shove it into every product that doesn't need it.

I mean 'g'. 1g is 9.81m/s^2. c is a speed, not an acceleration. g is acceleration.

Not coincidentally, it's the acceleration you experience from Earth's gravity, but it doesn't have to come from gravity. Astronauts routinely experience 3gs during takeoff from their rocket boosters.

If you were in a rocket that accelerated at a constant 1g it would feel like Earth's gravity, even in space. We don't have any rockets capable of producing 1g for years.

If we could accelerate at a constant 1g, flip, and decelerate at a constant 1g, the trip would take ~152 years... from Earth's perspective. If you were onboard, time dilation would make the trip about 10 years.

Do I have to wear the lace all the time? I don't look good in lace.

And honestly probably not; not because I have any objections to her being the breadwinner or have any weird ideas about who raises kids, but mostly because I'm not sure I could do it. I'd be a pretty shit father.
