i went to my uncle's mother's funeral and i'm flabbergasted how many people assume I'm an adult who's lived my entire life in america and somehow never learned the word "grandmother" or would choose an abstruse description of the relationship instead of choosing the words that uniquely identify someone given the assumption that I'm not an idiot

Sagebrush posted:anyway i later found out that that story was actually from a movie, lol. i still tell it to people (with this qualification) when it seems appropriate though because i think despite the white racism it has a nice message about grief and revenge. it turned out to be from a movie, but torture totally worked this one time, lets keep tellin that story!!

Mr Dog posted:it's a piece of cardboard (with some lenses in them that actually do the thing) right but it's 90% of the effect of oculus for less than $5 so if that poster's got ideas that would require it, it's a much cheaper way to test it out or get to mvp

Mr Dog posted:more like "lol wake me up when 3d printers can make integrated circuits cheaply" idk what ic's you would print that wouldn't be served much better with a core, sensor kit and the capability to print i2c capable lines where is this falling between arduino and rpi that still needs ic-printing flexibility

Sagebrush posted:good. people appreciate meaningful stories with life lessons in them, even if they aren't literally true. it's why aesop is famous after all. im having a hard time picking out what part of this ridiculous tower you've built around defending this structure of narrative couldn't be used to justify the torture narrative out of zero dark thirty "oh of COURSE it didn't happen but we all KNOW torture works so its totally ok to put it in a movie and jack off to the movie"

Ricky Bad Posts posted:also i rented a uhaul truck for a move one time... never again. I was seconds away from complete destruction from the second I left my house until the second i brought it back. during our last move we rented 2 trucks, it was a big stupid effort and im p. sure i broke a law blowing past a weight checkin. penske was so much better than uhaul, who cancelled my reservation and signed me up for a multi-thousand dollar replacement without bothering to tell me about the swap but what i really enjoyed about both of them was the information that was present in the rearview and printed on the visible side of the truck in both side mirrors what information do you want the renter to have available very quickly in an emergency situation? so much so that you'd print it out 5 different places? height of the vehicle

born on a buy you posted:wild. it seems like jumping jobs for a large raise would be good. lol that loans require you to stay at your job. "not only are you fixed to this job market physically. you are contractually chained to your current job" you're blurring the pretty stark line between "until closing" and "the duration of the loan" here i just know i get a really big break on my taxes because i'm paying up into a higher class of wealth than renters
