Carheads are fascinating. They love their cars so much that they feel personally attacked due to laws put in place to make cities more livable.
Just shouting about how "the government" is making rules about "things they don't understand" all the time and repeating the same strawman argument about how EVs can't reduce CO2 because tyres and brake pads are also a major source of pollution and so they are pointless.
But what would I, a filthy pedestrian, know about any of this?
Back in the day (ok, it was the 90s) one of the teachers that ran the computer lab at our school would get frustrated from time to time. He was an awesome teacher. We learned so much (keyboard shortcuts, taking apart and putting computers together, installing things, even a tiny bit of networking). But, every now and then he just lost patience and would tap a student on the shoulder and say, "let me drive."
@logickinlambda the digestive system of social networks leads me to believe that it probably originated on 4chan, passed through Reddit, Twitter, Blue sky, and Facebook before making it to the final destination: LinkedIn. I agree that it is very rare to find a gold nugget like this on LinkedIn.
@joel (it is a joke, travel is something I have difficulty with, and performing in public would be really challenging. Also, not too keen on returning to school)
Fed up with neverending backtracking in metroidvanias and die-and-retry roguelites?
Want to play a lovely under–10-hour side scrolling platformer with 16-bit graphics?
Grab a copy of Kaze and The Wild Masks next time it is on sale.
No, it isn't a polished AAA game, but it is a great throwback for anyone who played this type of game as a kid. Difficulty wise, it is just challenging enough to be satisfying.
Web developer people. I am lacking the vocabulary to complain about something to the IT folks at my work.
We are using a very sloppy online exam software with MANY bugs. One of which is this, and I'm looking to explain it using the right terminology:
When editing a field, the field randomly becomes "unfocused" causing the key presses to register as browser shortcuts. Is there a better way to describe this?
@bbbhltz “The input field loses focus when typing” should explain pretty well the problem (although what you’ve already said is basically the same and they should understand that as well)
I've watched over 14,000 episodes of television (according to Trakt).
This morning I watched one of the most perfectly paced, beautiful, well-written examples of animated story-telling for children.
Many shows for kids have been reduced to self-contained 7-minute shorts. A full arc from exposition to denouement plus opening and closing credits is the norm. Good story-tellers can still do a lot with that.
Continuity, for example, is something kids grasp and enjoy...
...#Bluey, love it or hate it (I am the former), uses those 7-minute episodes to build a much larger tableau. The continuity, the call-backs and other references do not go unnoticed by young children. They pick up on those things.
The latest episode, The Sign (S03E49), is a tear-jerking reward for children (and adults) who have been paying attention. And, what's more, it is a special 28-minute episode.
Hats off to the writers. Bravo. It will be hard to one-up this chef-d'œuvre.
