Well then, I'm that opportunity - I don't get why this hairstyle prompts that comment. Hint: ( ^{I don't know much about the brachial plexus} )

Wait, weevils fuck on people's faces?

Pirate zbrush and try Nomad. I don't have a tablet so I never gave it a go.

As for Zbrush, Maxon has done absolutely nothing of value to it since its acquisition. I purchased the perpetual license when it was still Pixologic and that's what I keep using. I hear from industry professionals that I don't miss out on absolutely anything new at all.

No.

There is only so much you can learn that is applicable to real life situation about body movement. I guess you can read that if you hold your breath and relax, or keep a certain upright posture with your arms extended, then you will remain afloat. But that's about it. You need to go and try it. No matter for how many years you read, you need to first go and try the basics.

You can say the same about riding a bicycle I guess or rollerblades or a skateboard

Wait, I'm in Australia, does that mean I missed out already on the second point thirty thing?

Evangelists, ugh

That's a really good point a lot of people miss. There are a lot of right answers in this post, different people, different results; age; etc. But if you don't level up the challenge and make sure you are meeting those challenges correctly then you will stagnate. True for everything

The Patagonia jacket is the best match although it's obviously very different. I'm disappointed no helmets in the suggestions. I was looking forward to rocking my astronaut look this season

Why is AI reviewing papers to begin with is what I don't understand but I also don't understand an awful lot of things

Okay so the only thing the article gets clear is that this lady in her 50s was in a staff only area in the lions enclosure when she got attacked. Zoo staff were cleaning the enclosure when it happened so nobody other than the victim saw the lion when it attacked.

Zoo policy is that staff never enters an enclosure with an adult lion in it. (I wonder how they do vet checks but hey what do I know).

This suggests it was staff responsibility/negligence for allowing her alone in with a lion, however, we don't know:

-whether the staff knew there was a lion still in there -whether they knew the woman was there

So they are going to take their time in until they figure out exactly how and why and who is responsible for it

Imdb rating does it for me. Unless it's something I want to watch regardless, I'm unlikely to bother with anything below a 7/10.

My cats ask the same thing when I clean. I mean. They don't speak, of course. But they look puzzled af. When I finish and sit down, they approach slowly to sniff me and check if I'm still the same person before cleaning

Yes especially when you take into account the amount of people who can barely speak the official language of the country who are seeking a driver's license. You don't know their cultural backgrounds, their experiences or expectations. When you are explaining a set of rules, it helps to be consistent and thorough. It also prevents people who fail a test to sue or complain against the organism saying they were never informed.

Source: I am an immigrant that got a drivers license in a country with this type of left turning. I don't know if things are still the same, but when I did my training and test, nobody forced me to watch or read stuff. I was free to choose how many times I wanted to watch or read a resource.

Dark... Probably the darkest humor I've seen on Lemmy

Guess I'm going to start stocking up on microwave popcorn packets. If there is no circus as a consequence of this company then I guess I'll be stocked up for movie nights

Is this news? I thought these mites were already on beekeepers radars

Wow that's the most hardcore electric beater I've ever seen

Mr (Annoying) Orange or Mr Hairdo, I guess you could go with Mr Freedom but I'm not sure it's a good fit. Let's Build a Wall and Let's Build a Gulag isn't what Real Mr Freedom would say but that's just my opinion

But 2-3 car lengths? It really bugs me when they do it in a left turn lane causing a back up to the travel lane resulting in overall congestion.

This reminds me of one time I witnessed instant karma. I was driving behind someone doing this in crawling-slow heavy traffic, and got to one of those large intersections with such lanes. Here in Australia they're right turn lanes, though that's irrelevant for the story I wanted to share.

So right in front of me there was this car with at least four guys in it, loud music, and an imbecile on the wheel. I got stuck behind him on a single lane road with no means to overtake. He was driving somewhat below the speed limit for no apparent reason and leaving a massive gap before the next car in front. He still left a large gap when we both merged on a crowded multi lane road, and he kept that 3 car spaced gap at every red light stop. He would lag several seconds before starting to move, obviously not paying attention. I honked a couple times to nudge him.

One of those irritating assholes I guess.

Now, somewhere behind me on the lane to the left there was some other guy with a red convertible and an attitude that screamed "YES I'M OVERCOMPENSATING".

We got to the intersection where the turn only lanes appeared, and the idiot in front of me was once again holding traffic as he lagged to resume driving. But the lane on my left, which continued straight, moved just enough to let the red convertible guy right beside the idiot. And then all of a sudden the convertible revved and zoomed right in front and across the idiot, cutting him off and overtaking him on the turn only lane, sliding right in that annoying massive gap he was leaving.

That was the only time in my life I celebrated such a douchebag move. The slow idiot went insane. Started yelling at the convertible, gave him the finger. The convertible was the last car able to turn on that change of lights so the idiot and everyone behind had to wait yet again for green, but I wasn't mad. Watching the car in front of me shake with rage until the lights changed again made up for it. He didn't lag once they went green again.

I think it's the copying a.k.a. "stealing" or gathering data where the problem is. AI doesn't and won't censor more than what human authorities and general public already do.

But yes the closed circles or some sort of new technology is where it's at.
