I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.
I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.
Is the extrapolation here that photoshop is full of ghosts and/or demons?
Mirrored image of a manually chosen frame.
I specifically manipulated an image to make it look more like what I wanted to see and then I saw it.
I say we just leave it in Amundsen’s tent and call it a day.
Skills based resume format rather than a chronological format. If they still ask just say the intervening years weren’t relevant to the position.

The domain was always for me to archive the things I enjoyed.
I recently had a cashier call another one over for a purchase issue of mine and referred to me as a “guest”. It felt weird. I was not a guest. I was trying to exchange money for goods and services and leave.
I don’t know what corporate big brain came up with the guest terminology, but it feels weird from every angle.
There is always going to be a divide between people who have done restaurant closings and those that haven’t. Some people who haven’t done it will not see any issue with showing up 10 minutes to closing and ordering everything on the menu. You can’t change their minds.
The last time I was traveling and absolutely had no choice but to go into a Chiplote 20 minutes to closing (it was the only place for miles still open), I made sure to be flexible about only asking for things that hadn’t been put away already. I ended up getting what seemed like quad portions and free chips. Be nice to servers and they are nice to you.
While it is true that rote memorization is a terrible thing for schools to focus on, I find it interesting that the discussion immediately jumped to “America bad” with a presumption it was a unique American practice. The many comments from around the world show it seems to be a more widespread practice.
I can believe you liked the show. I just think there should be some restraint before painting others with, at least the implication of all being terrible people for not enjoying the same pieces of fiction.
I think it is most likely that Disney pulled the show based on sagging viewers rather than caving to the extreme fringe opinions of ragebait YouTubers.
I don’t think this cancelation kicks off the problem of dilution of Star Wars brand identity. I think that problem has been happening for a while with the scattershot releases of movies and shows without the promised cohesion. There doesn’t seem to be a vision from high up of what Star Wars should look like, or where it should be going with the setting.
It is possible that a lot of people simply didn’t like the show. I personally struggled to get through it. Some people have external social/political axes that they bring to grind and use Star Wars as a veneer, but painting every opposing opinion as that is putting words in the mouths of a lot of people. Star Wars fans really need to stop knifefighting eachother and accept that fans with differing opinions exist.
In my experience, people with “bad GPS” tend to disregard the GPS directions because they think they know better. Once they are good and lost, and the GPS is freaking out and frantically trying to reroute is about when they start to complain that the GPS is useless.
It’s a link to a fan blog which routinely has Star Wars posts. I like to give exposure to people who are keeping their own fan blogs and projects going. It’s an article that has at least a little bit of thought and personality from the author who is looking at some semi-forgotten pieces of Star Wars, rather than just being something like a mere straight repost of an official announcement or trailer.
There was a House hearing, and the USSS director resigned.
There were no good answers provided in the hearing. Complacency and sloppiness of procedure seem to be the baseline answer, but pinpointing names of who exactly on the ground failed is difficult for the public.
Something I have encountered with protective situations, and which I haven’t seen addressed anywhere regarding Trump is why the sightline to the buildings weren’t simply blocked.
It is impossible to secure every single location, but if there is a cluster of buildings, you park a semi-truck and trailer in the line of sight (or put up a green fence, or whatever) and then you have the much easier job of securing your blocking.
But I guess that’s a really in the weeds.
I think to say something broadly popular with the voting base and then forget about it after the election. Decent plan TBH.
