I’m listening to the Bobiverse again because the fifth book came out recently. The universe, pun intended, was really interesting and the entire idea of digital people is fun to think about while doing chores.

Because eventually you’ll break it lose one of the cups and then have 3 incomplete sets that will hopefully provide a full set between them.

Poetry. Pure poetry.

• What color was the ball? Blue
• What gender was the person that pushed the ball? Male
• What did they look like? Skinny, pants, dress shirt
• What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else? Blue, smooth, baseball sized
• What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of? Around 2ft square, wooden, light color, four square legs

All of this was built in my head with each part of the prompt. Pretty sure I don’t have aphantasia.

Just want to weigh in on Resolve. I was able to get the free version running on Mint, but the free version can’t do H.264. I then bought Resolve Studio, but activating the license did not work so I ended up on Windows for video editing.

I also had to switch back to Windows for Affinity, as I have been using Photoshop for years and I have yet to find another piece of software (excluding Affinity) I can move at speed in.

Once I get the content creation off Windows, I can probably leave it behind for good.

It’s not actually Go-Gurt, that costs too much. He just bought normal yogurt, but doesn’t want to disappoint her.

Wow, you sobered up quick!

Actually, I think that one at least has some history to it.

The disk drive was one of the first ways to store information between computer sessions as the first computers didn’t have built in storage. You would create a program, run it, and then when you shut the computer off it was gone. Since the disk drive was used to store programs for later, or “save” them, the icon was born from the physical object.

Sharing, conversely, doesn’t really have a real world example to base the icon on. Maybe two hands exchanging things? Perhaps two arrows to illustrate the ability for things to go both ways? Maybe a set of interconnected dots to show the connection between things? Any of them could work, so the iconography is less clear.

I’ve seen a lot of rulers that actually don’t have a mark at 0 and instead go right to the edge as 0. Typically they are worn down, being made of wood, so the accuracy of the first inch is dubious. To ensure the distance is correct, sliding the ruler down one unit is a good idea. So, my ruler starts at 0 but my measurements start at 1.

But people always judge them as slow because they only see them on land. Sometimes you just gotta find your place in the world to really excel.

I’m all for removing gender as the first dividing line, but there needs to be some divisions in place.

As an example, in martial sports they are often separated by weight class to balance the fact that a larger, heavier person would have an advantage over a smaller, lighter person.

Without that, basketball would be dominated by the tallest people only, but that means there is no reason for anyone who isn’t tall to even play the game. Break it into height classes and suddenly you meet have a league of skilled, average height players that could be very compelling to watch.

I can’t do silence, my thoughts are too loud. Rain sounds work well for me.

I need to know how to say “Who’s a good dog?” in French now…

Generally the person who recorded the music would have a performance copyright on that recording. This is often sold, licensed, or otherwise given to another group to distribute that recording such as through CDs or streaming. That same performance can also frequently be licensed for use in videos, commercials, public displays, etc.

If the campaign purchased a license from the distributor to play the recording at a public event, there really isn’t any consultation with the original artist. Hence, an artist’s music being used for something they do not agree with.

If they did not purchase a license, that’s when the lawyers are unleashed.

Nice try, but I have more than that now and don’t want to go down to either.

I use metallic permanent markers. They apply a nice, thick coating so that the light still works but is severely diminished. It also can be done to some devices without opening them if they don’t have the light recessed too far.

But then how will they upcharge you for additional storage or push you to their monthly cloud storage solution?

True, but I do get irrationally mad if someone else wants to show me something and there are several ads before it.

City streets Take me to work So I don’t Have to twerk For some money Sellin’ my body Living is not free Somebody help me.

Working on me right now. It’s hard to see value in myself, so it’s impossible to understand why someone else would either. When I’ve learned to love myself, I’m sure it will be easier to see why someone else would too.
