Not seen Nagato in a while

Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

People who don’t need a car and already don’t have one won’t appear in these figures

If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn’t need a car doesn’t have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.

I’m really not sure there is

Yeah I thought that was somehow supposed to be the punchline

If a tree falls in the woods…

Pop!_OS is the next big

(It finished there)

That’s the strategy, yes

Of course. The definition of what is ugly and what isn’t is subjective and nostalgia obviously plays a part in that.

But I think it’s quite fair to say that almost nobody would consider a postbox to be an eyesore. It’s a functional design but it also has aesthetic elements to it which exist purely to make it look nice, and it’s doing an okay job at that.

Contrast to a telecom utility box which is purely functional, a rectangular box coloured in a drab gray or green in the hopes that our eyes might just wander over without noticing it is even there. Intentionally avoidant because nobody wants to see it.

So I very much stand by my opinion on which “needs” painting and which does not.

This might be alright if it wasn’t such a bad job.But even so, don’t paint postboxes. They’re iconic as they are.

There’s a street artist in my area who paints all the utility and electrical boxes with interesting designs that celebrate the local community. And that’s great, because they were just boring ugly boxes.

If you’re going to paint something, paint something that needs it.

Yay!

This may be a nonsense suggestion but is the game trying to activate the headphone mic?

If so this could be switching it to a different mode and cutting your headset audio quality in half.

EDIT: two other people suggested the same thing at the same time, never mind :)

The blogpost was made four years ago, though.

Quite a fascinating read, nonetheless :)

Time to start a boycott movement against Black Ops 6 :)

Hexagons are the bestagons, after all

So, Calyx or Graphene to ensure this AI garbage can be disabled, I suppose.

For you, maybe it was.

The point of good presentation and design cues is that they can make information instantly clear to almost everyone, no matter if their brain is the size of TON 618, or not.

The problem is the layout.

It needs horizontal dividing lines to show that the bodies are presented in pairs at the same scale.

When you first look at it, it seems like all six are in one picture at the same scale, then you start noticing things appearing twice, and think “hang on that’s not right” and work it out, but just two lines would have solved it immediately.

Design, people! Design!

Yes, it was a bad decision all around.

If they had committed to it being 18 rated, it would likely have been much better and more enjoyable as a movie.

I’m not saying they made the right decision, I’m only saying that I understand the chain of thought going through some executive’s head that lead to this decision being made and the end product we now have.

The entire problem is that movies are often made with the primary intention to make money, rather than being made to be the best possible movie they can be, and that can be a huge hindrance to the final product.

I agree, but it’s obvious why they did it.

The teen demographic represents a huge part of the movie theatre crowd, and cutting that section out with an 18 or 15 rating can be the absolute death of a movie financially.

If a movie is an 18, like a horror, they need to lean into the adult marketing really hard and make it feel like it’s worth going to for busy adults.

Movies that have action and comedy elements rarely do well with an 18 rating. They will miss the adult crowd because they seem childish and not worth going to, and they’ll miss the child crowd too, because they literally can’t go!

They messed up on this so bad by not committing at the outset to what they were trying to do, and not sticking to it all the way through.

The number one thing I noticed after installing Linux on my old macbook was that the battery life was immediately halved.

I totally expected that to happen, though, because my previous experience had always been that power management on Linux was kinda terrible.

Time to try this out and see!
