Artaca

Architect here. Many of us are cooked. Asking a generalized model to spit out something legible will certainly yield these kinds of results. However, much of architecture, like many other fields, is based on facts driven by codes and prescriptive values. Those can be learned and easily maintained over time. Tools like Finch, Hypar, TestFit, and many others are attempting to streamline so so much of the design process. They're also removing a tremendous amount of tedium, sure, but in doing so they are preventing the next generation of designers from becoming masters of the craft. It's pretty discouraging, because you either keep up with the times by using these tools aimed at eliminating your entire career field, or you can boycott them and lose out on work.

Drew a comic that made the front page of reddit over a decade ago. Family and friends noticed it and identified me because the username wasn't subtle if you knew me, personally. Ditched the account immediately and used a generator, which came up with this. Decided to re-use it for shits and gigs. For those wondering: no, neither the comic nor the account of mine had anything weird or inappropriate, I just appreciate a certain level of privacy in most online communities.

Bunch of lumber and stuff I was already planning on buying as I finish my basement, like a laser level.

Had one, maybe two lines and about three seconds of screentime. It also sounded different than the first movie - enough so that after the film I checked to see if he had been recast.

Saw it yesterday with the kiddo. Lots of fun, great sequel, well worth a visit to the theater. Felt a little bogged down by a need to cameo almost everyone from the first movie, though.

Also listening through Words of Radiance! Knew I'd never complete a rental through Libby so I went straight for a purchase on Libro. So it goes!

More glitz and glam than many other distros I've tried. It was the first one I tried when trying to leave Windows. Eventually did Mint, Pop, Nobara, and Garuda. Chose Mint to stick with for now and haven't regretted it.

If one of my less savvy friends asked about switching to Linux, I would mention Zorin as a possible option simply because it goes out of its way to feel familiar.

You probably already know, but FoundryVTT is pretty fantastic. The software/base VTT itself is not open source, but the rule systems and modules (QOL add-ons) mostly are. I self host my own server.

I always assume the goal is to reduce education, likely increasing criminals who can get arrested and then work as free labor. No matter what it's dumb. Ugh.

I've enjoyed Ultraviolet. I remember seeing a clip of a fan made pokemon game that had a pretty unique art style. I think they remade it unreal 5? It looked nice, but I haven't been able to locate it for awhile so perhaps it either got taken down or was fake.

This clip from Brooklyn 99 uses what I consider to be the only two acceptable pronunciations. The first obviously the silly way, the second the proper.

Thank you. Not sure if comments can be pinned to the top of a thread, but knowing this is real and not just an out of context photo used for propo is important. The fact that it wasn't immediately dismissable is already sad, though.
