Hrm on one hand I'm pretty sure I'm a mammal but on the other I'm pretty sure most of my adult life has been spent laying a solid egg of gently caress. Science is hard.

It's not the literal first time I've realized this, but it blows my mind every time I'm faced with the fact that on the Urban->Agricultural scale, I'm more on the urban side of suburban than I'd otherwise assume. Like, today I went a little bit out of my way to have lunch somewhere with my partner, and it was low-key culture shock to accept that people live in areas where their single block of commercial stuff is surrounded on all sides by crops. Seeing the one bar we saw for miles being some delapidated building with two cars in the parking lot, at noon. And the silence!

I've had at least two arguments with bar randos that whales are mammals. One of them thought I was stupid as gently caress because I was talking about the three states of matter, because apparently only water can freeze   : Yes, I know, there is also plasma, but I barely comprehend that one, and I was talking to an idiot.

I mean the statement "humans shoot spiky horse chestnuts into each other's anuses with giant slingshots while jihadist music plays in the background ending in a crescendo of allahu akbars and spiky-anus-syndrome-induced screams" is categorically true but it doesn't mean much.

It's like saying beer is a type of water.

Henchman of Santa posted:So last night apparently my mom and brother-in-law were making fun of my sister for referring to insects as "animals." Admittedly it's odd to say in a casual setting but it turns out they literally didn't know insects are animals. My dad had to Google it to prove my sister correct. This is driving me insane because it's the kind of thing you should know by kindergarten. Last summer I was in a building on campus where a summer camp was being held. I needed to borrow some blue paint from the art room that was being used as part of the camp. They didn't have blue, but three different adults tried to urge me to mix purple and red, or yellow and green, paint to "make" blue.  I politely hemmed and hawwed about just keeping looking, surely there must be some blue paint. Because I didn't want to phsyically demonstrate it to them. I could just see what would happen if I did, them pouring the red and purple into a cup and mixing it and mixing it, adding more of one and then of the other, and wondering why it wasn't working. I think at the beginning I said something- in too polite or wavering a tone, in my astonishment, so they must have mistaken my fear for uncertainty- like "No, blue is a primary color." The first one who "corrected" me was like "No, the primary colors are red, yellow, and green." The other adults didn't understand why I didn't want to "mix" my blue. Finally, one guy started to cotton to it and asked one of the campers to look up what colors make blue. The camper (a preteen) was like "You can't make blue, that's a primary color. Here, look." "It says blue is made of red and purple." "No, it says blue and red MAKE purple." I finally found some blue paint and ran the hell out of there, thank god it was a science camp not an art camp The worst part was they were so nice and polite the whole time, like genuinely trying to help. At least if they had been assholes I could have just laughed about it, as it was I laughed and also felt sad

sweeperbravo posted:Speaking of things you should know by kindergarten- You're going to get best results mixing primaries of the system which will depend on what the stuff is made out of and if you aren't using stuff you're familiar with you're going to end up making mud more often than not. But pigment mixing isn't as strict as childhood art classes may lead you to believe (so you little shits stop mixing all the paint argghhh) and is different from the additive color process of how physics considers light.

zedprime posted:They were so close but so far. But most pigment mixing is a generally subtractive color process which means you can get stuff between two colors on the color wheel, if you aren't being picky about tone and start light enough. Like if you start with cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primaries, you want to mix cyan and magenta to get blue, which is not entirely unlike mixing purple and green. Cyan is already blue, what the hell are you talking about?

My wife works in a print lab and it seems like just as many people think "cyan" is pronounced "kai-anne" as they do "sigh-anne". Sorry I don't understand how to use pronunciation guides so you get what I got.

Okay but they were trying to get me to mix this with this  So I was not starting with cyan and magenta, and did not get the feeling they were just too darn good at art for me to understand their color mixing sorcery But uh, thanks?

Memento posted:I knew "k" indicated black, but I didn't know it just stood for key. Neat! Yeah, I assumed it stood for "black" because B could be mistaken for "blue". Like how in Magic: the Gathering U stands for blue because B stands for black.

Memento posted:I knew "k" indicated black, but I didn't know it just stood for key. Neat! Key is also shorthand for chroma key which is basically a blue/green screen superimposition. So if someone on tv is "keyed up" or "keyed" it means they're set up for a background swap / superimposition / overlay. Also - and this one might not be true- I was taught that we use green and blue because they are not colours that appear in human pigment. Just don't wear the green and blue shirt the day you're going live.

Just don't wear the green and blue shirt the day you're going live. That may be true of blue; I'm not sure offhand. Green is used these days because most modern cameras use a Bayer filter, which has twice as many green elements as either red or blue (mimicking human vision; our eyes typically have more green receptors). The additional receptors mean there's less noise on the green channel, so you can get smoother edges where the screen "meets" the foreground elements.

It's the game cube version, the official speed running metric is how fast you can completely pay off nook.
